The decision to leave home is never an easy one, especially if it’s Chennai. But you might find yourself in such a position when there’s a new career path to follow or when you’re simply pushing out of your comfort zone. Whatever the case, the pangs of longing never fully disappear.
And when you return, there’s a singular moment when you emerge amidst the sound of traffic, taxis and autos bombarding you. In that exact moment when you can hear vehicles honking, a feeling of belonging slowly warms you from the inside. It is a homecoming for sure, even though you might be tempted to call your port of origin home now.
When others ask, “What’s so special about your city?” you might appear dumbfounded – but that’s only because you might not know where to begin. Take Mount Road, for example. The arterial road has been around since time immemorial so it’s not skirted by just malls and eateries, but also heritage buildings. One might even venture so far as to say the city wasn’t built with concrete but with art.
Mandarina in Kotturpuram, is an ode to this old world charm – a cluster of well-planned residences, designed after vintage Spanish houses, that offers a sense of community. This magnificent and lush residence is tucked away with a host of ultra-modern amenities, while being strategically located within city limits. It is a perfect place for peace and privacy, away from the stress of everyday life.
Apart from the culture, there is of course, the indigenous filter coffee and podi dosa from Murugan Idli – both excellent reasons to fall in love with Chennai all over again. And conversations you have with street stall vendors can quickly turn into a highlights reel of the city’s past
That’s the thing about Chennai – it doesn’t matter where you’re from, you’ll be welcomed into the fold, and Appaswamy strives to provide the best slice of Chennai for every homeowner.
Bloomingdale is the epitome of a gated community with every amenity imaginable within its boundaries. Boasting a supermarket, ATM, clubhouse, mini-theatre and walking trails all in the same place, it leaves nothing to wont. Pammal is an oasis of greenery and serenity where you can experience blissful living with comfort, luxury and style.
Cerus on the other hand is a towering promise of luxurious living in the heart of Vadapalani. With close access to some of the best schools in town, and shopping options hardly a few kilometres on either side, you will wont for nothing at Cerus.
