My journey started early morning from Gummidipoondi. The station was calm, and the excitement of visiting the Chennai Book Fair made the ride feel shorter.
I took a suburban train towards Chennai and then switched to the metro at Wimco Nagar. The metro ride was smooth, fast, and surprisingly comfortable compared to road travel.
Finally, I reached Nandanam station and used Google Maps to walk toward YMCA Grounds. The streets were lively, full of students and book lovers heading in the same direction.
