Your beautiful tribute to Chennai has me smiling - Podi dosas, beach sunrises, and spontaneous Ilaiyaraaja jazz collaborations sound quite the adventure! Wishing you a smooth settling into your new city and the mental space to wrap up those projects. Looking forward to your return to Lines on The Grass. Safe travels and new beginnings!

It’s happening :) So glad I met you in Chennai before you moved out- albeit for a short while. Here’s to new beginnings!

I have been reading your posts regularly for the last year or more but didn’t realize you stayed in Chennai! And you love the place. You have risen even further in my esteem. 😃. I spent 20 wonderful years in Chennai. That place has soul. And all the best with your new home. I hope it gives you all that you seek.

Aah, change. It's constant. But podi dosas and the quirkiness of Tamilians in Chennai is probably something that will remain unchanged. Take your time to settle in, but get back soon. Your words as they string into sentences fill me up. Bon voyage and happy settling in.
