in coimbatore i was actively using 5 libraries from the smallest neighbourhood place to the central library. after i moved out of coimbatore (1993), coimbatore did not feel like home city at all for quite a long time, even though i was visiting twice in a year for two hurried days at a time on an average. chennai is so big and in a lifetime you could pass off by visiting less than 5% of the city. business in the early years took me north of mint street otherwise i would not have known north chennai and that too little, guindy-adambakkam-alandur-mount - this stretch was absolutely home. much later selaiyur-camp road-east tambaram gave good memories. the city that started my career with great adventure was mumbai ( just sample this: the wiry young old man with an english-looking cap and a business suit comes to a place where i was waiting for my famed professional customer and introduces himself as "the name's kohli, f c kohli, i have an appointment at three" ) new delhi was about friendship and trips to punjab crossing sonipat, panipat. sometime when work permitted in new delhi i walked past two absolute edifices which as i recall at this moment were very rectangular from very outside. north and south block, am sure would be soft and with curvy nuances inside and would invite more and more bright young minds ad infinitum, i walked across government quite accidentally and in hindsight think that i should have blown kisses at them, but then i was not yet crossed forty years of age at the time and i was as yet not married nor hitched. in chennai in the early days i missed something so much that i even found myself in medical university libraries ( one is there in guindy itself near my workplace ), after this i made people worry about me a lot - coworkers, family, friends and....before i settled and warmed up to my jollies. in 2013-14 i visited the coimbatore central library a couple of times in a happy state after 20 odd years, even though all was not well, hope was humongously huge now than ever before..
