I'm willing to bet (and I never bet on anything) that 80 out of 100 people that you ask in Chennai will not know the actual name for "Vandalur Zoo". So when I could not find the actual website when searching for "Vandalur Zoo" in Google, I decided to write about it. Yes, the URL is cryptic. If people don't know the actual name, how are they expected to remember www.aazoopark.gov.in? I hope that this post will change that status, and associate the term <strong>Vandalur Zoo</strong> with http://www.aazoopark.gov.in/. It's an experiment. As for the email, I was actually amused by the fact that they were using the yahoo.com domain rather than some 'government provided' email, at gov.in, that's all.
