Made of Chennai: From poems to collages, readers share their love for Chennai
The entries received for the ‘Dear Chennai, with love’ initiative by The Hindu Made of Chennai, captured the city in all its glory

In a blue patterned scroll, P Mary writes what Chennai means to her. “A city of dreams, come what may,” reads a line from her poem. On a yellow postcard, K Prasanna Pandian sketches a number of famous landmarks – the Central Railway Station, Anna Nagar tower park and Ripon buildings. “Chennai, a city of endless energy,” says R Sethubai, in his letter to the city.

These were among the many entries received as a part of ‘Dear Chennai, with love’, an initiative by The Hindu Made of Chennai to commemorate World Post Day, celebrated in October. The formats were varied; sketches, poetry, scrapbooks, essays, and even collages, but the love for the city tied it all together.
