Madras rasa 🎶

Happy Madras Day people! 

If you are from Madras or have spent any period of quality time in this singara city, you would have definitely felt a strong love for it (I have and, I love it!). That is because Madras is more than just a city. It has a distinct personality. A unique persona that is almost impossible to replicate! 

It's where: 
# music sings in taalam to the raagam of math, 
# where the 'traditional' weaves seamlessly into the silky folds of the 'modern', 
# where, the inseparable combination of vadamanga pickle and thayair-sadham tease and tingle the tongue as they satiate hunger in delight like no other culinary feat can
# where coffee is as intoxicating as the 'tanni', 
# where paying obeisance at the 'kovil' is as revered as it is with paying it at the temple of knowledge

Madras - a decoction like no other, where time brews at its own lingering pace to the pressure of frothy change!
