Oye its Chennai....

hi, readers too long time, this long included the major event of, my parents getting transferred to Chennai. Chennai, its one of the four metro cities of india n capital of Tamil Nadu.
On 20th May 12 my flight landed at chennai airport at 17:40 hours. All of a sudden when u come out of AC to hot atmosphere, u feel like hell, i also had the same feeling. At first it was to find a cheap taxi, as i don't know Tamil i didn't have the option of bargaining; so i took a taxi for leaving me at a place called koyembadu. this the place where my parents are staying in the officer's apartment. Mean while i was enjoying at the busy city of chennai. Beside the streets there were shops n men wearing dhotis n women having jasmine flower on their hair, but overon that when i saw the construction of 12000 crores project of metro railway, i was woW. AFTER 45MINS RIDE I REACHED THE PLACE CALLED KOYEMBADU WHERE MY FATHER WAS WAITING FOR ME. IT WAS AROUND 18:30 HOURS IN D EVENING SO THE ROADS WERE VERY BUSY FULL OF VEHICLES. AFTER EXPERIENCING SO MUCH OF WONDERS, I FELT LIKE SAYING OYE ITS CHENNAI....... NEXT DAY ONWARDS I WENT FOR MORNING WALK N IT WAS AMAZING TO FIND 100S OF BUSES QUEUED UP WALKING FURTHER I FOUND IT WAS THE ENTRANCE OF CHENNAI MOFUSSIL BUS TERMINAL (CMBT), ITS A BUS TERMINAL N ITS BUILDING IS OF A SIZE OF 5 STOREY BUILDING HIGH N 200 METRE LONG. IT HAS FACILITIES FOR PARKING TWO N FOUR WHEELERS. It was too great to have this.

In my recent interaction with my neighbour, i gotch to know about the normal life style of a Tamil family. From that i could conclude that their total food surrounds around one thing, that is rice. According to Chitra aunty (my neighbour), they love to have rice as breakfast, lunch n dinner. While enquiring about the dishes she told me that in morning by 6:30 she cooks rice with a proper ratio of amount of water and rice. they take rice along with Sambhar, rasam, chutney as their breakfast. In their lunch they make fried rice or tomato rice along with that they prefer to have dal, raita, rasam n ..... In the evening its the time for their snacks, which includes idly, dosa, vaada. In night they love to have butter milk rice with pickles. The brahmin families they don't even like the smell of non-veg cooked, means they are pure veggie.....

Last night my father went for a marraige ceremony in a five star hotel at night. there he got to know that the marraige actually has got over in the morning time n they have only come for the reception. While he was searching for the north indian food, he could only find 3 types of rice,dal, panner,gulab jamun and ice cream. When i heard i was happy that here atleast, bride's father don't have to spent much money over food as usaually done in rest part of india. The tradition is that, the marraige should be done in the morning hours, that is before 12 hours and in the night reception will be there where all the guests will have reception. This tradition is sweet and simple. Here the marraiges takes place at the age of 24-25 of boys and 21 as girls. They get married just after they get their jobs. Then i thought arrey, this stuff doesn't happen in odisha. they i clicked...."OYE ITS CHENNAI".

About a week agao while reading the news paper i got to know that yesterday the 12th result of Tamil Nadu board was out. The topper has scored 1190 out of 1200. I was surprized by the scoring of that student, that how can she score this much???? In her interview she showed her ambition of getting to BITS pilani, where there is the provision that the state topper can take admission directly. Then few days later again in the newspaper it was published that here in Tamil Nadu, there is a rule that the student who has scored highest n has taken Tamil as a subject will be declared as the state topper. Unfortunately this topper girl had taken Sanskrit instead of Tamil, so it was like her fate to go to Bits Pilani was hanging..... I'm surprized at this type of rules with agony. Can't help.....

Last sunday that is on 27th we had a family trip to chennai's one of the prominent shopping places; T-nagar. Its famous for clothing n shopping malls n... We took a direct bus to T- nagar at a cost of Rs13 each n it was a total comfortable one. Their i found that the streets were flooded with countless people, this is summer now, Imagine the coondition. Then we went to a shop called Saravana Shop, this one shop itself is 6 storey building. On the ground floor it was the buzzing section of saree, when u go up one bye one my eyes were filled with glitters of feeling of versatality of the shop. It had everything that could come to one's mind. I would say it was mind blowing n all the stuffs were under a single sticker Sarvana Store. Starting from kid's toys, to LED tvs n lots more. In that father bought a Sony's Xperia Pro one costing Rs 18950. I was flattened over this gadget as its features were really great i every sense. On coming out of the shop its was rightfully said "OYE ITS CHENNAI".



This much of significant stuff has happend till now in chennai, my aim is to put my personal experience with the one of the most important city of the world.... Wait for my next "OYE its CHENNAI".....
