The simple life of old Madras

You cannot help but glorify a city you have been in for over half a Century. Legendary actors Nagesh and Manorama too have touched on its greatness in the timeless ditties ‘Madras Nalla Madras’ and ‘Madrasa Sutti Parkka Porren’.

Marina Beach, various Temples, churches, mosque, museums, library, Chepauk, zoos, etc., must be ever proud of being in Chennai, and vice versa.

Standing in long queues in front of ration shops, for water, movie tickets, trains, markets, are all now just events contained in a memory.
