Synopsis

Featuring the city of Chennai, this book offers a delightful journey through one of the most remarkable cities of India. Elegant writings by a host of accomplished writers capture charm and tradition on one hand, transition and paradox on the other. Sharing the uniqueness of the city as time has seen it emerge, it also clearly demonstrates to what extent these talented writers felt inspired to pen it down.

About this title

From the Author:

Malvika Singh is the publisher of the monthly journal Seminar and a columnist for numerous daily newspapers and magazines. She is the author of Delhi: India in One City.

Review:

"The best thing about the books is how they telescope the transition—thoughtful enough to not condemn all change as for the worst, but reflective enough to be able to assess what was and what has been lost."  —Indian Express
