Part 2:

Describe a tall building in your city you like or dislike

I am having the habit of roaming around the city with my bike in my leisure time.
When I was riding my bike on Old Mahabalipuram Road, I saw the beautiful building which
made me stop and watch it.
Where it is? and What it is used for?

The building name is House of Hiranandani, which is situated in Old Mahabalipuram road at
Egattur in South Chennai.
I googled about this place out of my curiosity and I found that this residential building
contains 2100 apartments and there is even a school in this complex.
It just made me wonder and it is a fact that as a chennai native, I found this beautiful
complex only now.
What it looks like?

Simply, it has been a visual treat for me and it looks so magnificent.

It is said that the building’s height is 528ft and its architecture style is Neoclassical.
The buildings are made with bricks, stone blocks, marble and you can find pillars in this
complex.
The design of this building comprises geometric lines and order. It is a well-constructed and
aesthetically pleasing building.
And explain why you like or dislike it?

First and foremost, I liked it because of its aestheticism.

It even inspired me creatively to create some new works.
And also, as a result of googling about this,
I learned several things about architecture structure and styles.

Part 3:

1. Why do people have a very strong bond with their hometown?

Answer: Human beings have a strong bond with the place where they grew up in. It is
because we are familiar with the surroundings and people in our hometown. As we grow up
we have created a lot of memories in that place which gives us nostalgic moments when we
return to our hometown.

2. In what ways can you improve your hometown?

Answer: In my hometown, we lack a lot of facilities like roads and a proper drainage system.
We can bring these drawbacks to the notice of the authorities or report the problems to
concerned politicians. We can also bring up more public places so that people and children
can spend some quality time there.

3. Some people want to live in their hometowns for the rest of their lives. Why?
Answer: Our hometown is a comfort zone where we have everyone at a close distance.
When we leave our hometown we don't have anyone we know around us which leaves us in
a lonely situation. Living in a faraway place can be difficult for some people. That's why they
never leave their hometowns.

4. What is the main reason for liking a hometown other than the fact you were born there?
Answer: I like my hometown because it is beautiful with parks and lakes and hills. I have
never seen such natural beauty anywhere else which makes me not want to leave the place.
The people of my hometown are also very friendly which is the main reason why I like my
place.
