What has happened to my beautiful Madras that I left in 1984 When I see videos of Madras now I can't believe it is the same old Madras Those golden days will never come back My hometown is Tambaram and it was the most beautiful place in the world Rice fields Selaiyur lake Chitlapakkam lake Air Force Stn village life with maybe a car or two on the road the village munsiff I could write a book about it he beautiful life I had inTBM Unfortunately we left it all to go to a foreign country and life was never the same again Thank you for the lovely video from Melbourne Australia
Sir I'm 32 from. My grandfather our hometown tambaram..MCC college a legendary place my NSN school ...wow my 90s was amusement days...but now I don't like to get out..all really sounds mechanical..my neighbors nowadays seems like enemies...but my heart shred tears...I'm missing my childish heart nowadays
Of all the comments that I read here, yours touched my heart. In 1976 my cousin was in the Airforce. We met on Sundays for the simple joy of matinee shows and samosas at India Coffee House. One such weekend we ordered a pair of square toed Cheshire boots from the cobblers along the Tambaram Railway station wall. They lasted for years..till 1979 when I left my beloved homeland for greener pastures. When I got back to Chennai for good in 2011 I went to Tambaram and almost passed out in shock.
Yesterday I went to Chennai(after a gap of 18 years) on an official visit to Infosys and took chengalpattu train. Was waiting to see Palavanthangal station (as a child loved visiting my grandma as she had a big independent house then with backyard etc.. would run to her home in Raja street all by myself) was shocked to see the new avatar of that place and as the train kept going, pallavaram was yet another shock..(worked at TTK health care in 2000) further stations like chrompet,/tambaram/ ullagaram etc..all look so cluttered with buildings and commercial complex.. hardly I could see a patch of greenery.. heart is aching. Where is my beautiful Madras?
Thanks a lot dear......my father owned a small cafeteria in front of hotel Victoria called hotel Sri jaya ....... we still own it. ....what a nostalgic video...I was twelve years old when the video was taken
I was born in 1984...those were simple beautiful days free of technology explosion..we always had a lot of extra time on our hands..Love the laidback period..😍

I was born in 1985, visited Chennai frequently in mid 90's. Now settled in Chennai from 2009. I still use to visit my 90s memories places, egerly search for old buildings and structures. This video I figured out Mylapore kabali temlle gopuram with neon lights and incandescent bulb(Gundu bulb). I bought back my childhood memories. Thanks again for the video.
The Madras I remember !!! I was born in Anna Nagar in a small nursing home. 40 ps bus ticket from AnnaNagar to Kilpauk. 7c bus is what I knew back then. Back then I was 5 yrs old and clearly remember after Anna Nagar Roundtana the place will look like a haunted desert . No lights only tress both sides of the road. No auto will come if it is Anna Nagar after 6 pm. If it rains forget even buses! Those frogs croak all night during rains. Such a peace.
Beautiful memories . Even in Tambaram when it rains we can hear the frogs croaking whole night and my father would say they are croaking because they have no liquor to drink and they are feeling cold .
Gone r those days where people used cycle and walking to reach destination. Agriculture activities suburban Chennai whereas now ot even a piece of land is left for agriculture. Entire Chennai suburbs have become a concrete jungle. This video is really Nostalgic to c the beautiful place and the happy life led by our ancestors.
WOW! Those were the days when life was so simple and yet people were happy! Hmmmm i guess My superstar Rajinikanth must have been busily shooting somewhere when this video was taken! hehe:) 1980's GOLDEN PERIOD! Tx for the upload!
No words, almost everyone were walking and all of them are fit, but now even a new born baby having diabetes... We lost so many thing, our tradition, culture almost every thing... Living like a machine...
maniacram , tell me what is positive in chennai now. There is nothing wrong if people say something is (or has turned) bad, if that is reality. We can pretend everything is nice, and ignore the bad crimes going on but that is ignorance.

That is the price of modernization... Its sad though
We lose all nature things... After addicted to luxury and corporate lifes...
People on those days were relaxed . Men and women working in same field without any social stress.
I LIKE IT OLD MADRAS
But u didn't showed the main parts of the city it was like watching the footage near ur house and village
Those areas would be valued at 1000 crores now
