The Indian Express offered me their 'The City & I' column to write about my hometown. (Thank you @adya_goyal & @Paromita_Ch.)

Here's the short essay which was in print yesterday, on the many ways to see Chennai—"above all, a waterscape."

India has coaching centres everywhere.
But almost no public libraries.

One small community library in Delhi now serves 15,000 people and 40,000 books.

Turns out when you give people books and a desk, they build their own futures.

What a read @RegaJha ! Kudos @MridulaKoshy

Such a lovely piece! For anyone who feels “stuck” in a city, Rega offers new ways of experiencing one’s city for the first time:)

Friends, a moment for Chennai—

Govt. plans to expand the Ennore thermal power station will:
- subject 1000s of children to perilous pollution
- increase flood risk by blocking parts of the Kosasthalayar River & Ennore Creek

Do help request @mkstalin & @TThenarasu to #ScrapETPS.
