Feasting on Chennai

Benjamin Gilani, on what he loves about Chennai...
Cultural connect:
I am very fond of exploring cities in terms of their culture. And Chennai is like a veritable feast for me with its rich heritage and architecture. Although I haven���������t been able to explore Madras to my heart���������s content, I took time out during my previous visit to check out the Government Museum at Egmore as it was close to my hotel.
Culinary love
Being from Mumbai, I am used to gorging on seafood.And I was glad to have some during my stay in the city as well. I had a special Chettinadu style preparation of fish, which was spicy and tangy. I instantly fell in love with the dish and I intend to make it at my home as well.
Passion for life
I have always been crazy about theatre. And thanks to my buddies, Naseeruddin Shah and Tom Alter, I was able to set up a little theatre company in Mumbai that could help us keep our passions alive and inspire more youngsters to take to it.
Working for love
I don���������t really care about things like screen time. If the role���������s great, I just jump in and soak in the character.
