Chennai Live
I am a Chennaiite or Chennaivasi for more than an year now and the experience has been interesting, to say the least. Why not share it with the world! Also this part of the world, though pretty advanced is not web enabled fully. You can't know the timings of a concert in Naradha gana sabha or the weather prediction for the next couple of days online. And there are some subtle things from directions to interesting info about Chennai which one can get only by talking to a chennaiite.
I think thats pretty unfortunate.
This site is where I am planning to share my experiences in chennai, life here and you could probably get some HOW-TOs like how to haggle with a auto driver to what to expect when you stop on an about-to-become-red signal. But you are expected not to expect telephone directory like stuff, like where is Anna square or how far Postal colony is from ashok nagar etc (its on the same road 2 mins away and one of my friends used to claim Rs. 60 as travel allowance from his company for the 0.001 km distance)
So here we go. Welcome to the world of Chennai.
