I think intellectual curiosity and love for the arts, music, sports and other cultural activities is where Chennai stands out for me. I remember that Chennai used to be ‘the place’ for chess, as much as it used to be for tennis or cricket. The city has passionate communities of fans. This interest in culture and the arts is a trait that we have retained, said Vishwanathan Anand, chess grandmaster.
Such traits constantly evolve, especially when a new taste is acquired. Apart from their profession, people here develop interest in various other subjects such as history, art, or even music. People here are intellectually curious.
