Stories from the streets of an old city
Madras is not just a name from the past. It is a feeling that still lingers in temple bells, harbour winds, railway platforms, and narrow lanes. Madras Kathai is a growing archive of neighbourhood stories of forgotten corners, layered histories, ordinary people, and extraordinary streets. From Mylapore to Royapuram, from George Town to Triplicane each place carries a voice.
This space listens.
Welcome to Madras Kathai.
