Public speaker Bharathi Baskar on the things she learnt growing up in the city
I was born and raised in Chennai, and my fondest memories are tied to the area where I grew up — Triplicane. From the Parthasarathy Temple to my school — Lady Willingdon School — it was a unique experience. A few people get the chance to study in a school close to the beach. So, Triplicane will always be my favourite place in Chennai.
After the 1990s, when the bank I worked for opened a branch here, the city began to change with digital screens becoming a common sight. I grew up witnessing these transformations.
Growing up near Triplicane taught me how to handle anything that comes my way — whether it’s standing up for myself, offering a handshake, forgiving, or adapting to different people and situations. Happy birthday, Chennai. I’m proudly made of Chennai.
