Chennai Sucks?

Hey! Don't tell me you are going to Chennai...Thats the first reaction i got from most people when i landed up with the job with Flextronics , Chennai ( The erstwhile FutureSoft)

"You know what, its a tandoor, you wont be able live there "
"The people, they are very rude ...they wont help you"...and "oh yes you wont be able to see any hindi movies over there"
"yaar there are no hang outs"..."how can you imagine a weekend without going to a pub?"

So now that i am here and been here for over a year ...here is what i have to say.

Chennai is a wonderful city.
Yeah ! its hot but people dont die because of the heat.
Did you come across a "Heat wave in Chennai?"So next time some one tells you about the heat in chennai ask him to pay a visit to the Indian capital!
The people are much more helpful than most cities in India.
It has great hangouts ...most of all the beach.
It has exotic getaways like pondy and mahabalipuram
And yes Hindi movies do get released here...and for the record i saw Rang de Basanti in Chennai
first day first show!

Will let you know more about the City in my next post
