Chancey illa is a word very dear to the heart of every person who has lived in Chennai. It means "even if you search for a place like this, you won't find it." Chennai is a city where you find tranquility with love.
You may ask, "Why should I listen to you?" And I would tell you all about how it now feels like my forever home even though I wasn't brought up in Chennai. Chennai has been a city that has redefined culture for me. It has redefined serenity for me. It has redefined uniqueness for me. Chennai finds in herself a beautiful balance of modernization, all the while being true to herself and her roots. She welcomes you, embraces you, and, above all, nurtures you. From the filter coffee to the serene beaches, it energizes your mind and soothes your soul. It brings you closer to yourself, even if you go a little farther to do so in the first place. Chennai is a feeling, and no amount of words can do it justice.
I wish that all of you could experience this feeling—this feeling of uniqueness.
With an open heart,
Saranya Dhawan
Local Committee President
