Madras is an irresistible emotion. Having been born and raised in this niche corner of the planet, it has, quite naturally, permeated every cell of my being, says violinist R.K. Shriramkumar.
This is a city that has always welcomed into its fold, with much fondness and magnanimity, a multitude of cultures and traditions. I deem it a blessing to have been raised in Madras, a city that has the perfect blend of hallowed heritage and modern thought.
Though notorious for the scorching summer heat, I still consider its weather scape to be simply salubrious.
Coming together during trying moments is one of the most admirable traits that characterises its spirit.
The unparalleled cultural capital that Madras is, it has nurtured the greatest talents of music, dance, theatre and the cine world.
