Fast turning out to be the Detroit of India, for its rapid expansion of automobile manufacturing units and growing reputation of being the cultural capital of the south, Chennai, the erstwhile Madras, turned 369 on Friday.
Befitting the historic occasion, Chennaities have drawn up a week-long birthday bash to celebrate the event.
On this day in 1639, British Administrator Francis Day is believed to have received the grant for construction of Madraspatam as it was referred then by the British. The deal was struck by Francis Day, his 'dubash' Beri Thimmappa and their superior Andrew Cogan, with the local Nayak rulers.
So here goes my wish............. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHENNAI!!!!
