January 23, 2006: Chennai, India: "A Gallery of Old Books"
"Vijayaraghavan is a bibliophile with an interesting range of reading preferences from P G Wodehouse and Tolkien to Bernard Shaw and Bertrand Russell, not to mention the best of cricket literature. He is also one of the most optimistic people around, always thinking up new projects to attempt. Life’s ups and downs have never managed to deter him from pursuing his dreams. His latest project, a well-appointed lending library at a central location, is all set for a successful future."
"‘Old Books Gallery and Lending Library’ is a smart little outfit at 121, St. Marys Road, Raja Annamalaipuram, is actually quite spacious, with books stacked in two storeys. It is already a fine collection of books and promises to grow bigger and better, thanks in part to Viji’s many friends who have volunteered to contribute books from their personal collections."
