Chennai - Good Old Chennai
That has indeed been a long layoff...Thanks to an interesting an fun-filled month long stay in Chennai (alias Madras). Now that i am back in Maryland I hope to update the blog much more frequently....
Some small things that caught my fancy/eye/ear in Chennai
1. Everybody has a cell phone, even ur own housemaid
2. And by definition her instrument is better than the instruments that are common in this part of the world (USA).
3. Rain/Water Scarcity is not the most important topic of conversation for the first time in the history of the city.
4. The most profitable and lucrative profession in the word is that of a computer programmer...unless of course u have the financial and political might to start an engineering college.
5. Every man and woman in their twenties is working in one way or the other for the below listed few companies (Wipro, Infosys, TCS, CTS, ICICI ) ...Well almost.
6. The state government for a change does not seem to be sleeping...It seems to be working....eventhough the policies seem to be conflicting themselves, there is some work being done....and one can see the results.
7. Watching Sun News and Jaya News at the same time can be the most funny and ludicrous source of entertainment the world of free press can ever offer. Both news channels seem so free that neither are intent on NEWS. They seem intent only on political mileage from every NEWS item. The shameless manner of reporting the identical NEWS item in unbelievaeably contrasting view by these two channels was a prime source of entertainment.
8. Everybody watches some family soap serial or the other....Even the men do...Scarcely do the accept it though :)
9. Cars are common commodity. Everybody wants to own a car and those who already own one want to change it for a newer model.
10. You are an introvert and shy if you do not send more than 100 SMS messages a day. You are antisocial if you receive less than 100 SMS messages a day.
11. Tar roads are soluble in water....It rained in Chennai.....
