Why it matters
It provides a personal perspective on urban development and the emotional connection between city infrastructure and its citizens.
I’m a ‘Vada Chennai’ girl born and raised here in Moolakadai. Growing up, I have been a huge movie buff and watching films in Brinda Theatre, Shanmuga Theatre, and Odiyan Mani are some of my earliest and best memories of Madras.
When I started my graduation in Stella Maris College, I would ride my two-wheeler from Moolakadai to Cathedral Road. With barely any traffic congestion, the entire stretch dotted with numerous trees and it used to be a pleasure to ride back and forth every day. Also, I would often go to the beach with my parents back then and it was one of my most cherished outings.
