This south indian metropolis celebrated its 370th birthday on saturday. Chennai has its long history. It started much before than the arrival of british.
Fort St. George was the epicentre of the creation of Madras what is now known as Chennai.
Now, the city has grown by leaps and bounds. Chennai is always known for filter coffee. Which is a unique to other coffee lovers. Even barista people have to learn some tips from madras mami when it comes to making filter coffee.
Over the years, chennai has not shed its traditional mentality fully though, signs of modernity are visible across the city.
Very peaceful, lovable and queit city. some outsiders may call this city as a "not-full-cosmopolitan" city.
If you compare this city with any other Indian metropolis this city is less polluted . Prices are less. Even today, one could see a lot of green cover inspite of the rapid urbanisation.
We want chennai to retain its originality at the same time not to lag behind its progress.
AS the song goes madras nalla madras.........
