Never let it be said that the Company of Chartered Architects lacks connections or that the architectural study trips organized it its name are all fun and frivolity.
Following the main part of the recent tour a small but persevering band pressed on for what was intended to be a bit of R & R after the rigours of temple, palace and archaeological site visiting. The targets were that former outpost of the Empire - Ooty (or Udhagamandalam to give it its current name) and then on to Cochin in Kerala.
In Ooty they just happened to encounter the local correspondent for the nationally circulated and influential newspaper - The Hindu who took the opportunity to get a few quotes and the photograph.
While bookings will shortly be taken for the 2009 study trip - to West Coast USA - Phoenix, Los Angeles and San Francisco - it cannot be guaranteed that national press coverage will result from the tour itinerary of any extension of it.
