BMW plant in Chennai

Chennai is emerging as an automobile manufacturing hub in India with quite a few international automobile units present around the city. To add to it, BMW is setting up its plant importing CKD units from Germany and assembling it here.

Way to go, Chennai!

Wireless and Mobile Impact

Its old news that the Chennai central station is equipped with wifi network that you can go and browse Internet there! Don't ask me who will go there and browse, afterall. These things, I believe, are the stepping stones for the city to become technologically better.

The news now is that you can book your cinema tickets through SMS in Abirami theaters. And when you buy a ticket, you also can browse the Internet using their WiFi network for half an hour. This idea is the very same as McDonald's in US, which introduced getting free browsing time when you buy a happy meal. Not sure if it was successful or if it still exists.

Anyway, its interesting to note such things happening in Chennai.
