Chennai

She is the land of temples,

And Kanchipuram Saris galore!

Jhumkis and other trinkets at Pondy Bazaar,

I could give you reasons to visit Chennai, "dus hazaar"!

Flower vendors selling fragrant jasmine

And Me haggling for an extra strand

You get everything here at the wave of a magic wand.

After an Aadi thalubadi,

A trip to Saravanas for lovely idlis.

Weekend getaways, A stone's throw away from Chennai,

But at the end of the day, I want to fly back to my nest.

She makes me feel safe,

Like a baby on her mother's lap.
