The many tales of Connemara Public Library in Chennai
On a rather breezy Friday evening, students were pouring in and out of the Connemara Public Library on the Government Museum campus in Egmore: some in large groups, others in focused solitude, with many staying the whole day. Thankfully, the structure, which houses over 9.8 lakh books, is not one of those forgotten places in the city. And there is a reason for that. One cannot ignore the library's layers of history. When the former Governor of the Madras Presidency, Lord Connemara, recognised the need for a public library in the city, he laid its foundation stone on 22 March 1890. By 1896, the library was officially opened to the public. Since then, it has grown into a landmark of Chennai, with many prominent figures, including C.N. Annadurai, Rajagopalachari, R. Venkataraman, C. Subramaniam, and writer Sujatha, having been active members. Go-to spot for UPSC aspirants Fast forward to today, the library has been witnessing a significant increase in footfall from civil service aspirants like never before. 'At least 600-700 students use the library every day, including a large section of civil service aspirants. Around 10% of them bring their own books, but space for that is limited,' says a senior librarian. While older readers still flip through newspapers and magazines in peace, it is the younger crowd that is most often seen in and around the library. Ilamathi T., a UPSC aspirant from Salem, collected her bag from the library reception after a long day. 'This library is like my second home. I also sit under the campus trees to study; it is peaceful, but at the same time, I am never alone, as many students are preparing for the exams alongside me,' said Ms. Ilamathi. 'The archives of old newspapers and the stacks of competitive exam books especially come in handy,' she added. Heritage wing What many may not know is that the heritage wing of the Connemara Library is the true jewel in its crown. It opens to the public only once a year, on April 18, when rare books from the 18th and 19th centuries come out to shine, such as The Revolt in Hindustan by Sir Evelyn Wood, Centamil published in 1822, and many more. But the spaces that hum with daily activity are the textbook section, followed by the general books, reference section, Indian language books, and periodicals. The library management has been coming up with book exhibitions, student activity programmes, children's books area, cultural programmes, and so on to increase the footfall on the literary fiction side, which has taken a dip. Meanwhile, the Public Works department has also been working on a conference room and STEM zone inside the library. Connemara also wears a badge of honour: it is one of only four libraries in the country listed under the Delivery of Books Act. This means that any book published in India — no matter the size, genre, or region — finds its way here. The membership fee for deposit is ₹300, and ₹50 for yearly circulation; members can borrow up to six books at a time. For any booklover, this is indeed a sweet deal.

The power of smidgen Sindoor
Sindoor is amorphous! When a married woman scales it from the top of the forehead to the middle of the skull along the tiny hair parting, it becomes a valley; flowing through it an impassioned route to feminity, the boat of marriage thus sailing by keeping the oar intact on its gunwale. Sindoor is applied by Hindu women, a de rigueur. Some apply it every day; a long stretch through the parting till the inseparable red pores start fading, and some do away with a shorter length. Many hardly wear it now; one could owe this to the hard-nosed imprecation of marriage, why then the need to sprinkle the perfumed garden? Husband is now the squall who sputters; 'Sindoor' thus becomes an 'objet d' art, magnifying its exuberance during festivities like Karvachauth where married women therapeutically indulge in their own 'Sindoor craftsmanship'. And not to forget the Hindu Bengali women who smear each other with Sindoor during 'Sindoor Khela' or Vijayadashmi. What is it that makes 'Sindoor' pervasive? Is it devotion to the husband or is it a celebration womanhood, or is in fact a blissful sanity accorded by cultural consanguinity? The ill-disposed are quick to respond, 'Why the dividing line of the hair is empty'? The old-rickety women who have nurtured 'Sindoor' like the strict lines on the palm offer no remorse and often nudge, 'it is a sign of prosperity, applying the red vermillion makes marriage a solid rock without any cervices.' I am reminded of my friend who during 'Chhath Puja' had the red river flowing from the forehead to the bridge of the nose; crimson sprinkled to form an arabesque singing the union of a woman with her belief to love unconditionally. 'Goddess Durga' doesn't leave my impressionistic eye either. The stark red vermillion on her forehead impinges an opalescent hubris. Look at the strength it evokes if stirring up a gaff and the chiseled idol scaled to characterize the red radiance. Aishwarya Rai, Miss World 1994 and a popular celebrity at the Cannes Film Festival, did the anomaly; rather it turned out to be exquisite. She appeared like a carnivalesque of a woman in a spiritual palimpsest of a 'white sari', an essence of peace and contemporaneously crowned by a fierce bold 'red sindoor' attitudinizing conjugality, a coup de maître! Will she wear it the next day? Hard to say! 'Sindoor' has become more of an appurtenance rather than a sine qua non for everyday deck-up. The shift has been imperceptible. The affluttered mother-in-laws' have become quiet as the new age daughter-in-laws' are now adroit to handle their 'sindoor synapse'; the husbands now wonder if the red streak of love planted on the forehead has irreverently unclaimed them? It's not that I have never applied it; yes, I have! And I have to admit it made me look different but nothing to do with who I am. It's been years now and it is asynchronous in my married life; its significance arbitrary along the scrofula surrounding the marriage masochism. However, there comes an accession which has made 'sindoor' anthropomorphic. It was wiped off brutally by the terrorist during the Pahalgam terror attack in 2025, and Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi did not accept the dark in whisper. The 'red' in 'Operation Sindoor' reflects the incandescent tempest that is ready to strike the malfeasance of the perpetrators who left many women as widows with their virtuous sindoor burnt forever. Can 'sindoor' ever be left bleeding? The power of it came down heavily on the miscreants, and 'Operation Sindoor' swallowed the currents of anachronistic hatred. 'Sindoor', with its adventurous spirit will always remain the soi-distant essence of a Hindu woman. Things have definitely changed, one hardly sees married women applying it fervently, and however, it still defines the indomitable spirit to create a crease of one's belonging and coveting the idea of inseparability.
