Hindi’s not the National Language…

Though, it does happen to be the official language as you can find on the ‘government’ link below, not some random article about a state government gone rogue

T&R,

Well written I must say…

Ignorance is bliss… in this case piss…

Why is it that I see so many posts defending Chennai, as a pure and serene town with absolutely no shortcoming..

I’d only like to mention one point here… yes just one… this point sums up all the problems that people have with Chennai and the reason why it was voted the 7th most city (just food for thought… so many respondents felt so for chennai…yet no one has left any room for improvement in the city…as it is ‘perfect’…so to speak)…

Anyway,…. Chennai’s most important caveat… are it’s people!!!

Yes…people like Dilip and Rajesh and Kart’h'ik

The native population is
1. Unhygienic
2. Smelly… (as a result of ^^, but still very irritating)
3. Very conservative for any sort of corporate development (Restaurants close at 3, gates close at 9, no non veg/alcohol/girls in your apartment) Mind you these are rules specific to Chennai..nowhere else will you find such a fine and disciplined manner of living…
4. Rude to anyone who cant speak in Tamil…(An extension of which…is that they render services at an almost unbearable expense to anyone nt frm the land of tams)
5. They add an ‘h’ and an ‘aa’ to every word… let’s face it …it’s just irritating… and ‘h’ is pronounced ‘hech’…
6. Their nature to levy restrictions… Only cheap shitty liquor is allowed in TASMAC..(a booming underground blackmarket says otherwise)

And the list goes on with several such adjectives…

Addressing a couple of points raised by you…
@Food : there is ample availability of vada dosa and rice etc etc in say delhi or mumbai… and if there are north indians present in Chennai..why should they not expect dal roti…
(case in point: you said dhal instead of dal)

@Language: it’s not that people dont speak in Hindi…they chose not to around anyone who does so as to fleece every outsider

@Girls: No one would mind seeing any good looking girls around…you might belong to a different orientation…so might be good for you…
If you dont like it…You’re lying… and to yourself….

Hope this time around, people can take the criticism constructively..

As someone who has lived here for a considerable while… There are a lot of advantages here… but only if u’re native… if u’re not…you’re not welcome…

If only you could take an outsider’s perspective you would know why a lot of poeple still done mention chennai in the same leagues as delhi mumbai bangalore

Cheers

1)Why is dosai-kaapi stuff so costly in Chennai? Been to Bangalore? Hyderabad? Eaten in the “darshinis” – simple no frill stand and eat for a reasonable amount. The hotels are either like Hot Chips/HSB charging insane amounts or Kaiyendhi Bhavans catering to the masses. What about a middle class bachelor?

2)Tried to rent a house anywhere in Chennai? Oh you must be the elite Tam-Brahm from PSBB living in a posh house in Mylapore or T nagar. Chennai has the worst housing among Hyd-Bang-Chn. I have had horrible experiences over the past 1 yr. There is a serious dearth of quality housing. There are too few flats.Chennai rents are also the costliest. So compared to Hyd-Bang, food is costly and rents are costly.

3)OK, what about theatres? Why should a ticket cost 80bucks in Ega/Casino/Udhayam? Been to any theatre in Hyd? For 50Rs you will get a Devi level experience. Again the extreme ends of the spectrum

4) Dude, what do you eat when you are hungry at 5PM and there is nothing to eat at home? Where do you eat ? Also, do you eat idli-dosai in the nights daily? You don’t touch rice is it? If NO, then why the hell don’t hotels offer rice in the night? What am i supposed to eat? The same dosai that I ate in the morning?

Only 2 classes of people can enjoy Chennai – the lower middle class who can make do with Kaiyendhi Bhavans and barotas (jeez!). Or the upper middle class who can afford HSB daily.

As my name says, I am Wannabe Amit.
Alright, no sarcasm really. Why? Because being “The Amit” is so cool that if it was any more cold, I would have running nose(that too in a hot as hell place like Chennai)

Okay so where was I? I am bronze colored North Indian (oh, Amit as you call us), spent 6 years in Chennai.*gasp*

Yeah, its hot, no doubt; Police behave as if they are the in-laws(satyama), Bessie undergoes a blackout, a curfew and becomes a war zone all combined into one almost by 11.00, but well I still remember Chennai as a different place.

Partly because, I enjoyed watching people there. I dont know why, I like the folks out there. Mylapore was one of the places which reminded me, of a melting pot of sorts(btw, I am an atheist for disclosure).So, I liked Chennai, because it had a very different cultural undercurrent, I had good friends(a few Mallus, a few Tams, a few other Amits) and overall, perhaps I am a rice eater(does that disqualify me altogether from the race of Amit?)

So all said and done, why, at times do I sense a feeling of “oh-you-are-just-gonna-blurt-out-Chennai-suxxx-anytime-now-hold-it-hold-it-there” from my Chennai friends?
Just as like, Amits generalised everything in Chennai arent Selvakumars generalising the same thing about NI? (as twitter hashtag goes: #justasking )

P.S: Chennai Suxx even some of my Tam friends have said as well. Origin: kancheepuram,trichy

P.P.S: You got to accept, that heavy handed policing is not the answer to maintaining law and order. Surely it works, but trust me, it creates a hell for any person with testosterone in his blood(Amit or Selvakumar). And yeah TASMAC serves piss as beer.

P.P.P.S Do the girls of Chennai count me as fairskinned. Please please dont break my heart. Please say they do.

Adios,
Wannabe Amit

Anyway that apart, a few other things which you have left out about “sucky” Chennai

1. Chennai mein there are not many pubs and places to “hang” out yaaar. Again and again you have to go to the beach and eat sundal yaar. Suxxx.

2. Most of the theatres (except multiplexes) show only Tamil movies yaar. Well, most of the theatres in Kolkata show Bengali movies, in Cochin show Malayalam movies but well never mind. Chennai Suxxx nevertheless.

3. Spencer plaza and Citi Centre ke alawa there is no other cool place in Chennai. Suxxxx.

P.S: I think sarcasm would be wasted on Amits. I wouldnt be surprised if an Amit left a comment here saying “I totlly agree wit u yaar. I ve bin in dis city 4 2 yrs n i toh cmpltly hate it. Suxxxx”
