Madras nalla Madras

Apparently, now, Madras day is on Aug 22. This is the first time I’ve heard of it, but I say, way to go.

The city that is used and then abused by many, even its ex-natives, has a lot to offer. Come hell or high water, Chennai is home.

Here
are some choice snippets to celebrate the ‘real’ city and
here you have a view from a moderate ‘northie’.

Read on and if you have been one of the city's abusers, regret!

Hi...Chennai was my home for over 3years....Was Scared of it in the beginning but as life moved on...i started liking the place and specially Luz Corner in Mylapore, where I stayed.

But I never knew there was a Madras Day....

Nyway, the Sify story by its editor is a good one...

Hi Diana
Long time, how are you? Like with any other city, there's plenty in Chennai that is not at all nice. But what really gets my goat is that I have met so many people who like to look only at the negatives even after taking full advantage of the positives. And yet, they will have only bad things to say about Chennai. I take the view that every place has good and bad, and it pays to take a balanced view - be it Chennai, Delhi, Wellington or NY.
