En Singara Chennai
Things, about Chennai, etched in my memory;
• The serenity of Mylapore Kabaleeshwarar Kovil.
• “Puli sadam” at Parthasarathy temple.
• “Kanda shashti kavasam”, that every tea kaddai religiously plays, early,every morning.
• Madras tamil, though not courteous.
• The Marina beach and “sundal”.
• “Ponn vasanam” at the roadside hand pumps, which are the lifelines of Chennai’s water supply.
• Racing with PTC buses on Mount road.
• Driving on East Coast road to Mahabs.
• Haggling with the Auto drivers.
• “Meen vandi’s” adding to the delight of driving on Madras roads.
• Some stuff, with funny names, that I used to eat off the push carts in Parrys corner.
• "Otel" Saravana Bhavan.
• Come home every evening from office and wash my face with saltiest of water.
• Devi and Satyam cine complex.
• Shopping in Pondy bazaar.
• Onyx staff meticulously picking garbage.
Good or bad, these are few of the things that I feel gives Chennai its flavor. i Welcome everyone to add more points to this.

Hi Chentil ! Thanks for cheering me. For all the love for Tamil I have, I feel bad that I can't write in Tamil and can read only slowly. Never had a chance to do that. Still, I will surely try to read when you write your tamil blog.
