In a felicitous turn,
a detour necessitated
by metro construction
takes me through
a scenic stretch of the city
San Thome to Senate House
The stretch of Marina
A blazing afternoon in
Chennai is hardly conducive,
but nostalgia crashes in waves
This city that grew me up
Work in progress
Perspiring city, shouldering the sea
The salt in its air will always tie me
to love, loss and liberty
