I’ve lived in Chennai since my childhood. I’ve briefly lived in Bangalore, Hyderabad, West Bengal, and Delhi, but I suppose Chennai is home although I now live 40 km away from the city.
I’m a proud Xennial and I’ve been in Chennai since it was ‘Madras.’ Although I may not be in touch with my friends from the days it was known as ‘Madras’, the memories will always remain. I’ve done most of my schooling and college in the fine institutions of this city. My dad has also lived here and his parents before him since 1942.
The city is known for a mix of its traditional values amidst modernity.

Happy Madras Day!!!
Love calling it madras more than chennai. Whatever the name be! It is an awesome city! May it prosper always, as it does now!!
Yes, Ranjani, you’d be amazed at how many new places have opened up here. I follow some instagram accounts which talk about all the new places in Chennai and I’m zapped!
