BEYOND CHENNAI
"Visuals of fishermen hauling in fresh catch, line-up of boats, children dancing, singing and playing, fish being fried, waves rippling but North Madras was where the city began. It's a whole area worth exploring in the context of their identity as citizens of madras. North madras is vibrant area in terms of politics and culture.
It has the sea and harbour along with it. You have these colonial constructions and huge government offices. It feels more Madras than Chennai. The visual elements are definitely appealing. North Madras is completely different from other parts of the city, be it in terms of the people or the places. Even the building structures and the street side stores are filled with life. North Madras is a closely-knit community with a great mix of people. They've got Muslims, Jains, Telugu and Tamil people living here. They celebrate all kinds of festivals there.
The slum life is very heartwarming. Even after going up in life, people of that place still prefer to stay in North Madras, North Madras in itself is like a painting."
