everywhere covered in wets
thunders like crackers blow on festival

with some remembers of old memories
as we celebrating the 368th B’day
of madraspatnam the Singara Chennai.

Jeevan...Happy Chennai Week....
Nice post Jeevan. Excellent words. Comparison song is very nice. Now onwards, when i hear that song, i will remember you (Dont think now i will forget you).
I too agree with Priya and Alok.
Alok,
Ya...it happens all around the world. Chennai... very modern metropolitan city. I accept that too... but what about poverty? I think, now by God's grace we dont worry about famine. Still, iam seeing child beggers, who beg for the elders not only in chennai, but in other places too. I dont hate Chennai. But, we have to consider negative things too...
Nice post...Happy Madras/Chennai Day & good wishes for the week too!
Happy 368th Anniversary to Chennai! WOW Jeevan great!
