Cheee Cheee Chennai!

For the lack of a better adjective i had to resort to what you see above to describe the hideous city! Chennai as such wasn't exactly fun, no fun at all to be honest. It was fun in parts or lemme say all the fun was thanks to Zulfi. The city officially sucks! Read on to know why i say that with so much conviction.. 

• Getting around is a pain, you have to depend on ricks and the drivers are nothing but a NUISANCE! Uncouth,rude,indecent and more! (Except for Mohan who was very polite and in fact even let Zulfi drive his rick around in the middle of the night, which was total awesomeness!)
  
• No decent place for continental food, i mean come on, its a metro, you'd expect one decent restaurant where you'd get continental food but no, not even at 10 Downing street!! Oh don't even get me started on that damn place, the alcohol was ok but the FOOD SUCKED!!
  
• Bars shut down at 11.30PM!! (thankfully the places i went to at least had decent music playing, thank god for that) 
  
• Not a decent theatre where they play English movies. I saw one Tamil movie and boy did i have a headache for the next 24 hrs! In case you're wondering why i would i see a Tamil movie, well I'm a tam bram, actually I'm a fake south Indian! ( More on that later)
  
• Cabs are shitty expensive, a half an hour drive i.e from T Nagar to the airport is 500 bucks! WTF!! i pay 80 bucks back home (Bombay), to get to the airport and if i were to cab it, it'll probably be 200 bucks tops! 
  
• People are known to ask only one question if you're single around here, 'when are you getting married?'!

Top this! I met a couple on my flight back to Bombay and they were in Chennai for their honeymoon! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!! Who goes from Bombay to Chennai for a honeymoon man!! Jeez I'd rather get divorced on my wedding night than go to Chennai for cherry popping! 

I do remember one funny thing that i wont forget for a bit i guess! I'm at a parlour for a hair wash and the girl asks me madam are you an air hostess, i laugh my head off and say 'who me? ME? Can you not see my size?? Tell me what airline is hiring this size and I'll apply!' There's more salt to be rubbed by the way, she says 'arre madam there are so many fatter air hostesses who come here!'

And Zulfi, you so owe me one!! :)
