Madras nalla Madras
The adages are aplenty, for namma Chennai city. Nobody is a stranger here, everyone has a place. Be it in the stunning grandeur of the Kapaleeshwarar temple, the alluring serenity of the Santhome Cathedral or the resounding splendour of the Thousand Lights Mosque - secularity has its presence in every part of this city.
Culture encompassing and age-old traditions flourishing. The soulful katcheris of the Maargazhi maasam take over the city, spreading isai through every street. Meanwhile the natyam of Kalakshetra dancers moving gracefully to the classical jathis/talams - cannot pass your notice.
Here, you will feel at home.
Piping hot filter coffee served in davaras, crispy masala dosais, soft idlis served with vadais complemented by the real heroes - tangy sambar and colourful chutneys; every mouth a mouthful, every taste making you come back for more.
Let’s not leave behind the famous Sathyam popcorn, while we watch both Superstar Rajnikanth and Ironman with equal aplomb, celebrating cinema with a passion.
Right on the heels of cinema comes cricket, CSK and namma Thala Dhoni-ku periya whistle adinga! Surrounded by a cheering throng in Chepauk, waving in a sea of yellow - hollering as Dhoni smashes the finishing sixes.
