Ashwin Vijay, orthopaedician and health expert, shares his thoughts on the city he calls home.
Your fondest memory of Chennai?
Marina beach. My school was close to the beach, and I spent two-three hours a day at the beach after school. It will stay with me forever.
How did the city grow on you? Tell us your story
I think every area has its own speciality. The most important thing is people’s hearts. They might sound rude, but they are very kind at heart. That’s one thing that I love about the people of Chennai, which has influenced me to a large extent. The love and affection they show me, it is unlike any other city in India.
Interesting interaction
Every interaction with a patient is interesting because they are very knowledgeable. They come to me with clear intentions and defined purpose of what they want.
Your fondest memory of The Hindu
I have seen my parents with The Hindu. The first thing in the morning, when we open the door, we look at The Hindu. I’m sure that’s the case for a lot of people in Tamil Nadu.
What quality of Chennai do you like the most?
The people. The genuineness of the people in this city is something I admire. People don’t get fooled by superficial things, and they appreciate genuineness and kindness.
Favourite food joint
There are many. Of late, I’ve been preferring vegetarian food. I like this new place called ‘Bread and Chocolate’ on Cenotaph Road.
