Sundal, Sambar and Sea Breeze: Book 4 of the Heartbeats of India Series

By Rajesh Seshadri

Chennai is not just a city. It is a mood, a memory, a melody in the monsoon breeze.

From Marina's golden shores to Mylapore's temple streets, from the bustling chaos of T. Nagar to the quiet whispers of Luz Library, Sundal, Sambar & Sea Breeze brings alive the heart of Madras in fourteen unforgettable tales.

Meet the reclusive librarian who guards ancient Tamil manuscripts, estranged friends who find closure at Broken Bridge, a jazz musician who haunts George Town's shadows, and countless others whose lives echo with the city's contradictions - tradition and ambition, nostalgia and modernity, heartbreak and humour.

Woven together with warmth, wit, and a dash of local slang, this book is both a love letter and a mirror: a celebration of Chennai's resilience, quirks, and unspoken poetry.

Whether you've grown up with filter kaapi mornings and cinema-first-day-first-shows, or you're meeting the city for the very first time, these stories will leave you with the unmistakable taste of salt in the air and jasmine in your hair.

Because Chennai is not just a place you live in - it is a place that lives in you.
