Summary: <br/>"This is a tale of two cities-Madras and Chennai. In this book, the author braids together the essential aspects of Madras and Chennai to give us an exquisite portrait of the iconic city on the Coromandel Coast. The story of Madras, founded by the British almost four hundred years ago, gives way to that of Chennai in 1996, but the two are so intertwined that it is impossible to tell them apart. The history of the city is populated with fascinating characters-writers, builders, thinkers; British traders, luminaries and rogues; freedom fighters and political leaders who changed the citys political milieu. In independent India, the political life of Madras was marked by battles for equality, the demolition of unjust caste structures, and a remarkable spirit of secularism, all of which the author brings to vivid life. But the citys unique flavour is not limited to its history and politics, it owes much to its rich cultural, religious, gastronomic and sporting heritage-highlights of which include the largest classical music festival in the world, a remarkable array of cuisines, both native and imported, from the crisp dosai to spicy Chicken 65, a passion for cricket, tennis and chess and the best filter coffee on the planet. Sharply observed, yet meditative and personal, Degree Coffee by the Yard brings a great city to rare and refreshing life. Interesting Facts : A tale of two cities-Madras and Chennai which expertly braids together the Sub category: Indian Writing, Travel Writing essential aspects of the two. Sharply observed, yet meditative and personal, Degree Coffee by the Yard brings a great city to rare and refreshing life.
