An @iitmadras screen lights up a tree by the Administration Building making it look like pink flowers. Almost like accidentally staged cherry blossoms.

From August 2023-February 2024, this tree on the @iitmadras campus right before the Taramani gate, has had a space that looks like a heart (♡)!

This @CentreIit Project Associate was pleasantly shocked to see the tree remember how to make a heart even after so many months.

Delia Roedel, (67 years), revisited @iitmadras, where she lived 50 years ago. Her father worked in IITM from 1960 to 1971. Overwhelmed with emotion, she shared her tales of 1960s IITM. Delia's journey is a testament to IITM's timeless allure.
