although relatively small, this jewel of a house functions admirably as a home, as a gallery to house Anjalendran's large collection of paintings and artefacts,as an office and as an entertainment pavilion. Each day, while the dawn chorus of birds subsides and his assistants arrive to take their places on the far verandah and in the carport beside the trishaw, Anjalendran finishes his breakfast and transforms the dining table into a desk.
