When my just-in-time Chennai veedu helps cheat corona
The Hindu
Nothing beats the serenity and tranquility of one’s own home; Chennai is more than a physical location
Our only daughter was killed in an accident, forcing us to leave Delhi, our home of almost three decades, for the refuge of Chennai.
God has his own strange methods of saving us, and the move from our Delhi home to a rental in Chennai was crucial in our establishing a house here.
While in Delhi, we had bought a plot in Chennai, which was then the only metropolis where a middle-class family could afford to buy land.
The agony of our personal loss left us unable to answer harmless questions from our well-wishers in Delhi about our late daughter, prompting us to relocate.
Because the rental was close to our plot, we decided to build a house there.
The site was also positioned in a locality where potable water could be found at a depth of only 7 metres.
My #MadeofChennai house took a long time to complete because we had to wait 4 months for the Athangudi floor tiles to be installed.
