Different strokes for different folks
PEOPLE from all corners have made Madurai their home and hearth
As dawn breaks, overnight trains spew dishevelled humankind at the Madurai Railway Junction. The natives walk away in a brisk pace to the Periyar bus stand or autorickshaw stand with confidence and purpose. But quite a few others from other
States and faraway lands collect themselves and their luggage on a different soil where they encounter a tongue twister of a language as they squeeze their way out through a motley crowd of paging people, metal detectors and a whole lot of eagerly waiting crowd to ‘receive’ them.
