I feel Chennai is the best city to live in, says Meena Dadha

What do I like about Chennai? It is a very hard question for me because there is nothing that I do not like about this city. I like the peace, the action, and just about everything. I feel this is the best city to live, where you can achieve so many things without making a big show or any hungama. People are polite, affectionate and so simple, says Meena Dadha, philanthropist and art lover.

I like a lot of things about this city, including the idli and dosa, they are the most tastiest things I have eaten. I love the beautiful cotton and silk saris that Chennai is known for. You can travel with great ease here. In several other cities, travel is a problem.

I am very happy that my father took the wise decision of getting me married here. People were asking me how I can live here as I did not know the language. I think languages do not matter here. I can praise the people here, they are helpful, so simple and humble. I love Chennai.

I look forward to December when our culture is showcased. There are so many live performances of music, dance, and theatre happening at that time. It brings a different kind of feeling in the heart. I love going to temples with their rich heritage and architecture. Mylapore is a beautiful place where the old and new co-exist.
