Mozart Of Madras
Chennai Changing Notes
KM Conservatory
AM Studios
This Post is all about my most fav chennaite, its none othere than our double Oscar winner A.R.Rahman Sir. I am so happy 2 write abt him in my blog, he is my most fav music director and I am a diehard fan of him. He is such a modest and simple person who resides in heart of many music lovers. His music stands distinct from others, Though he is an international celebrity now, went around the world to many cities, he likes his home (Chennai) very much. I cant never forget the moment when I saw him couple of foot away from me surrounded by armed guards, it happened in “Chennai changing notes” concert at St George Grounds, Kilpauk. Its such a funny experience which I cant never forget in ma life, me and my friends from orkut rahman fans club were allowed to enter the ground b4 the program by the security as we all wore a rahman t-shirt :D, Then we went inside and we saw rahman sir and others practicing, then they found out tht we are commons and they asked us to get out, but some of them went and hide in the backstage. At tht time only I saw him going to his caravan surrounded by armed guards, this big story ends here. He has one of the best studios in world “AM” Studio in Chennai, He Also started a western music school “KM Conservatory” also in Chennai to improve western music also in India. His music spoke more than him, Rahman Rokz, I am proud 2 be a chennaite
My Favorite Place - Besant Nagar Beach
Besant Nagar Beach
Brokken Bridge
Pesant Nagar is one of my fav beach in Chennai, I still remember the 1st time I went there, I went after ma aieee class in de eve, its seems 2 be very small compared to marina but I felt its cleaner than marina, I still remember the days I used to cycle from my house which is in thiruvottiyur to pesant nagar beach, I love to eat roasted corn in tht beach, I can never forget the times I went there with my friend anshu whose house is in pesant nagar, with ma friend KA and gowri, ka house is also in pesant nagar and with easwar and his family. we can see small kids skating in de Sunday morning and I used to cycle with them an there is also a small public gym . near de beach there is 1 place called as broken bridge, I really dono who broke tht beautiful bridge though its broken it’s also a great place 2 relax, from there we can see adayar river and tall buildings and apartments on the bank of adayar river.
My Favorite Place - Marina Beach
I have always bee a beach lover from my childhood days. If we talk about chennai the first thing tht comes to mind for most of the people is marina beach. and many of them know tht its de second largest beach in the world. it satrts from the end of napier bridge(Iron Bridge) and externds till the light house. It is mostly crowded in the week ends. Chennai marina beach has lots of tradition on its own starting from morning jog, tender coconut, beach cricket, sundal, hot chilli baji etc, Chennai marina also has a swiming pool and an aquarium. we can see many statues of great people along the side of the beach road. some of the importatnt landmarks in the marina beach are Anna Square, MGR Memorial, Ice House(Vivekananda House), Triplicane Cricket Ground, Light House etc.. I am now 19 even now i love to play building sandcastles in the beach.
But I always feel tht i would be fine if the govt and public consider the cleanliness of the beach. Our beach would be more beautifull if its really clean.. I love Chennai Marina
My Favorite Place - N4 Bridge
N4 Bridge is one of my fav places in chennai. Most of the people dono if such place exist, may be some of them from north chennai know tht place.
This bridge got this name coz a police station named N4 is in the enterance of the bridge. This bridge is very different from other bridges and flyover in the city. This Bridge is built on the sea and it externds upto half kilometre from shore in to the sea. It is actually build to protect the chennai fishing harbour from the tusami and high tide waves, It reduces the speed of waves hitting the shores. I use to visit this bridge atleast once in a week mostly on sunday or saturday morning. If u stand in the edge of this bridge we can feel a cool sea breaze and can see the ful cost of north chennai from there ie from chennai port to ennore port. Coming to this place really relax me from the whole week stress. if we come here we can see small boats fishing on the see and we can also some people fishing from the brisge by using fishing hooks. this place had converted me into a poet . it is the first place where i started writing poem to say this place made me to write poem . when ever my frinds come to my home who actually resides in other part of chennai i bring them to the bridge , when ever they come to my house again they prompt me to go there again. if u find time on week end morning pls do visit here, get a new experience. this brigde is located on de suryanarayanan road which is parallel to the TH road , it is in de middle of the way from Tondiarpet to tolgate..

My Friend's Words Abt Chennai
I am very happy to post this post . Actually Its not written by me, it was written by my friend Aishwarya Parthasarathy Who just finished writing her 10th exams, She is a NRI from soudi and she visited chennai couple of times, lets see wht she have to say about chennai.
Being one of India's leading metropolitan cities,Chennai is well-known for its cultural diversity,accomodating people from different parts of the world.Together they live as a large family, making them renowned for their talent and hospitality.Chennai is a blend of different lifestyes,where different people live together in perfect harmony.The age-old traditions and customs of the people is what makes Chennai unique from every other place in the world.Varied diversity also means different festivals.The most important festival of the tamilians is "Pongal",which lasts for about 5 days, followed by a couple of other well-known festivities, which embrace the true spirit of our country.The whole state is decorated with loads of enthusiasm and anxiety.It is famous for its temples anddifferent dance forms,"bharatanatiyam" being the most popular of them all.Being a hub for a lot of major activities, it has also attracted many people offering them good oppurtunities for employment, education,medical facilities,etc.Unfortunately,it suffers from occational shortages in water supply, traffic congestions and pollution. But still,Chennai is and will always be the Musical and the cultural capital of India.
Thnk u aish for writing this very good post fr me... :)
