 Go Chennai: Gift Store It's
not the stuff sold at the Sixth Sense Gallerie that makes it different. It
is the way it's displayed. The array of gifts and home accessories are
arranged in themes that resemble various nooks and corners in a house --
crinkled-glass goblets and crystal for the dining area, Ganeshas and
floral baskets by the fireplace, marble fountains and cork-grass trees for
the sitting area. At 21, Spurtank Road. For details, call (044)
821-7428/38. Children's
Magazine Chatterbox,
the monthly children's mag, offers quick, quality reading (40 pages in
full colour) for Rs 25. An annual subscription comes for Rs 250. Nothing
pathbreaking about the mix: mysteries, art, computers, sports, travel,
letters, pin-ups. But the difference is in the effort that's going into
each issue, workshops and awareness programmes in schools included, all
for the sake of reviving the
"pleasures of reading" among 7 to 13-year-olds. For
subscriptions, call (044) 490-8683. Go
