San Thome is named after the saint Thomas cathedral. It is in south Chennai. The street where I reside at is known as Papanasam Sivan Salai named after the noted classical singer late Papanasam Sivan. Our colony is located very near to Marina Beach. A 5 minute walk from my house takes you there. So there is always a cool breeze coming in from the sea.
The well known San Thome Cathedral-Basilica is also located in this area. Christians believe that the body of saint Thomas was buried here after he was killed in the area. All India Radio station is also located here. The Russian Embassy is also situated here. There are four schools in my area and they have been here for a long time. The schools are Rosary Matriculation, St.Bedes, St.Rafaels, Santhome Higher Secondary School. There is also a school for special children whose speaking and hearing skills are impaired.Well known politician and leader of the Janatha Party, Subramania Swamy's house is also on our street as mine. There are hotels and an employment exchange too in this area.
