Nice and easy from anon.
ReplyDeleteHow many of us remember the Odeon theatre in Chennai? Once a lot of good English movies used to be screened there.
ReplyDeleteLooks good now!
ReplyDeleteNumber of comments came down from 7 to 3!
DeleteWhich included 2 deleted comments from Prasad, 1 comment from Col. and 1 from me!
DeleteI would have loved if blogger provided another way of communication for pointing these errors. These kind of comments have no validity once corrected and provide no value to anyone revisiting . That is why i delete them once i am sure col read them.
DeleteI appreciate Prasad's intentions.
DeleteWe are not auditors on Col's single-handed dedicated work.
