Dancer and actor Swarnamalya Ganesh speaks about the qualities of Chennai that she loves the most.
Wherever you go to, whichever part of the world you go to, I love that familiar feeling you get when you return home. I remember, once I was away from the country for three to four months, and I imagined the streets of Nungambakkam for no reason. I do not even live in Nungambakkam. But that is how much the city has spoken to me.
I would love for the Art Deco buildings to be back in the city.
Those independent houses, with lots of avenue trees and the greenery; that is the part of Madras that I absolutely love.
The parts of Madras with Indo-Saracenic buildings are the ones I want to hold onto.
The energy of the young people, and the meeting of the north and the south Chennai that has happened more recently is a huge welcome change. Happy birthday, Chennai!
