Film and theatre actor, and writer E. Kumaravel on his love for Chennai
“When everyone talks about the beach in Chennai, they talk about the Marina Beach. But, there was a beach in Santhome...just next to the Santhome Church; there used be stairs leading to a beautiful beach, where the housing board construction is currently under way. In between there was a radio house – if you go in the evening, you could herar cinema songs being played very loudly and kids would be playing there while older people used to listen to the songs. At 7 p.m., the songs and the lights would be switched off, and the people would disperse. In those days, there was no road and it used to be like a private beach. Now, it doesn’t exist any more but it is still close to my heart. Happy Birthday Chennai. I am proudly Made of Chennai.”
