From enjoying the beach in the rain, to missing Murugan Idli, there are some experiences that are unique to Chennai. So as a lover of all things Madras, I decided to pay an ode to it. Here are a few tweets from the people of Chennai, for the people of Chennai.

Me – Yeah, I guess.

The most superior coffee in the world is the coffee they sell on the streets of Chennai. Don’t understand the obsession over Starbucks. Chennai pavement filter coffee is where it’s at.
