As a guide to making the most of a few precious hours spent during a quick stopover in the city, Global Adjustments launched a coffee table book ‘Stopover Chennai' here on Wednesday.
The book which will help visitors experience the city's culture from inside out has contributions from music director A.R. Rahman, actor Radikaa Sarathkumar, grandmaster Viswanathan Anand, columnist Ian Watkinson, restaurateur M. Mahadevan, artist Pascal Reynaud and illustrator Maniam Selvam.
Releasing the book, M. Madhavan Nambiar, former Secretary, Ministry of Civil Aviation, recollected his connection with Global Adjustments and said: “Chennai is such a lovely city. I am looking forward to spending my retirement life here.”
“Having travelled in six continents, it is good to know how local knowledge can enhance the local experience,” said Darin Voyles, US Vice Consul. “I am looking forward to personally using this guide,” he said, at the function in which Consuls-General of Australia, Germany, Russia, Sri Lanka and Japan participated.
Talking about the content of the book, Mr.Watkinson said that the intention of such a book is to not bring out a dry and textual guidebook of the city.
The newly created Culture team of Global Adjustments brought out this handy book, said Anita Krishnaswamy, president, Global Adjustments.
