Madras Nalla Madras

Madras Nalla Madras

Vanakkam

Cent percent in geography, history, science and technology, mathematics, language, culture, religion and the line is endless. This winner all the way is my hometown and the city most dear to my heart which is none other than Madras. Where the waves of the beautiful Marina hit the shores to be received by the most remarkable coastline consisting of so many regal buildings headed by Fort St. George. Where the aroma of the filter kaapi vies for space with the heady smell of the jasmine flower. Where the women in their finest kanchipuram silks keep pace with the tech savvy youth of the IT world. Where the traditional music and dance festival is attended with the same fervour as a box office from kollywood. Where the latest BMW jostles for space with the one of its kind Share Autos, and where there are trains running on, above and soon below the ground. Where the temples of Mylapore and Triplicane along with the Santhome church, Valluvar Kottam and the Big mosque stand as sentinels. This is my Madras. Welcome to Chennai nee Madras Nalla Madras.
