On the other side of the Park rail way station was a large cemetery of commonwealth war heroes. It was the least cared/preserved historical monument of the city. Still the grass covered tombs were more impressive and highly motivating than any well maintained war memorials.

Hope in future, Chennai Corporation/ citizens of Chennai/those who own the cemetery/defence top brass will initiate a campaign to protect the national memorial which having a great potential of motivating our youth to join the Defence forces and for tourism.

I stayed at Raveendra lodge near Central Railway station/ Mail sorting centre at Rs 200/day. There are plenty of lodges near by. I returned from Chennai by 2601 Mangalore Mail at 20.25 h and reached Kozhikode (668 km) at 8 am on the next day.
