It was the first thought that came to her as she woke up. He was gone. And, soon, this bedroom, the house in whose eastern corner it sat, and the tiny garden outside with its gnarled old red hibiscus and the half-grown mango tree they had planted together, all those would be gone as well.

What is this all about? We Chennaites always take pride in our rich history and the celebration of 377 years of coming into existence itself shows how much heritage we have got. At this juncture, we should not forget the good and the bad events that had happened in this very city. It is also equally important to upheld the patriotism which has been in our blood for generations.

He then went to the stage and took the dias. The session started. Take a look at the videos below. ...
