a story was beginning to be told
India's first metropolis came into being
With cultures of new and old.
The city is a boiling pot
that tends to watering mouths
With tastes of sweet and spice
and flavours of the South.
Chennai has various names
under the rising Sun
Called the 'Detroit of India'
the wheels on which India's auto sector runs.
Movies(Kollywood) are a craze in this city
with Sir Rajnikanth as a Demi-God
People throng to cinema halls
which at times are very odd.
Where technology dots its landscape
it is a flourishing hub for the Arts
Its World famous Carnatic Music fest
is celebrated in different World parts.
A famed seat for learning
and a frontrunner in medicine
The city boasts of modernity
and various valued traditions.
Chennai has the Marina beach
with its endless line of Golden Sand
With the cool, gurgling waves leave
and rush forth to meet the land.
The rock temples of Chennai
have withstood the ravages of time
Tributes to Gods and artisans
Marvelously carved and sublime.
And monuments of the British era
are relics very unique
which take us into another world
where the British empire was at its peak.
The city came up in climates
of terrible sweltering heat
Infested with mosquitoes on a rampage
as the rains and heat meet!
This city has yielded icons
people with brilliant minds
people who changed history's course
and left the World behind.
Chennai is ultramodern
with the Madras of the old
375 years of an interesting story
with numerous new chapters to unfold.
Chennai maybe a city
but it has India at its heart
Situated in the South of India
and draws people from various parts.
