“I believe one of the most important aspects of Chennai that deserves to be celebrated is its modest way of living. You can find your footing here in the city,” says social activist V. Santhanam.
“There is always something happening in every nook and corner of Chennai, festivals keep coming one after another, which is joyful. I often notice how the people of Chennai go with the flow. From the busy roadside eateries to families enjoying weekends at movie theatres, it is all part of our city. You will also see biriyani shops lined up one after another.”
“Another feather in the cap is our education. Students from across the country study here because of the growing number of top quality institutions. Above all, what truly stands out for me is the city’s cultural activities that never changed. I thoroughly enjoy visiting The Music Academy here and the music culture in Chennai overall, it should always be treasured and appreciated by us.”
