Chennai :- The Metro

The 6 days stay in Chennai, changed my whole perceptions about Chennai as a city. I had been here for quite some time, when I was doing my main project. Also my brother was settled here, so I was more or less a frequent visitor. Prior to this trip, I had the perception that Bangalore is much better than Chennai in terms of good living conditions. But this trip changed the whole things. It is such a beautiful city, constructed for many more years ahead. Bangalore's traffic itself will take hell lotta time. Here roads are much wider and very less traffic blocks when compared to the so called Bangalore. I didnt roam much this time, as I had work at office. Climate is the only good factor Bangaloreans are enjoying at present. But here Chennai climate was good during my stay, though we need fan/ac at home :-) During nights when I was travelling in bike, climate was really cool.

Went to Basent Nagar beach, there I saw one Idli shop, there was a big queue outside the shop. Its called Murugans Idli shop. Taste was too good. Also I had been to a Kerala restaurant, Kumarakom, wonderful was the taste..
I was staying at Adayar near to IIT, but the famous Adayar Aanantha Bhavan, I didnt find.. A2B. Stay was also quite nice. Its a service apartment, per day for my room, they were spending 1500 rs. There are 24 such rooms in that flat? How much that guy will be earning per month? Its such a good business to start some service apartments near some IT companeys. Food also was there, but I am not impressed with the food there. And regarding the work, it was too good. I mean the guy whom I was interacting with was really nice. He was from Sasken, technically sound guy. His lead and manager also were nice. I really want to have some more chances to work with these guys. I really enjoyed my 6 days stay here. Now today night I will be coming back to Bangalore. Once again to a good climate, friends, traffic blocks...:-)
