Trichy-la periya changes illai - economy wise. The city is very conservative anyway. But traffic adhigam aayiduchu, goods expensive etc., but no comparison to big cities and the changes are not to ridiculous levels.

+1 on everything 'bad' about Chennai. I have visited Chennai so many times and have *lived* there a couple of times ( < 6 months both times). And I used to like Chennai when I was there on 2004 for about 5 months. But recent trips-la so many bad incidents. SennaiyOda ellai dhaan neeNdukittE pOguthu, oru kaalaththula pottal kaadaa iruntha idamellaam ippO velaiyai kEttaal :shock: I am all for distribution, I mean start new initiatives in other cities too. That will boost our economy. But Chennai-la sila pala high end malls / pubs ellaam super.

Kovai - best 'people'. I havent been there a lot of times but even the salesmen/auto drivers there are extremely courteous. Chennai-la ellaam madhikkavE maattanuva.. :twisted:

ஐயா உங்களுக்கு கோடி புண்ணியம். சில பேருக்கு, சென்னை பத்தி தப்பா சொன்னாலே(நிஜத்தை தான் சொல்றோம்) பத்திகிட்டு வரும்! அவங்களுக்கும் சரி உங்களுக்கும் சரி எனக்கும் சரி சென்னை மேல ஒரு இது இருக்குறது உன்மைதானே! அக்கறைல தானே சொல்றோம், அதுவும் பெங்களூரை கம்பேர் பண்ணி சென்னையை தப்பா சொல்லிட்டா போதும்! இவ்ளோ குறுகிய மனப்பான்மையோட இருந்தா, கஷ்டம்!

Attend this Poll against Chennai auto fare menace. It has only 4 questions

1. Auto fares in chennai have to be controlled?
2. Who do you think is responsible for the high auto fares in chennai?
3. Should we have "AUTO BOYCOTT" day?
4. Do you think effective Police control can curb the auto fare menace in chennai?

Wizzy :thumbsup:

Appadi paatha world-e worst airuchu, especially India, especially Chennai. Engayum "safety" (safety na safety illa) illa evanukkum safety illa. Call taxis are cheaper than autos. It's as ridiculous as that

Indian real estate prices :huh: My brother had been to Kovai recently. Residential area-ngara concept innum irukku nu sonnaan. Thank god. Might go there to visit our kula dheivam koyil.

Whitefield/Kundalahalli, BSK/Jayanagar madhiri oru area kooda innaikku porulaadharathukku Chennai la undo? Illa!
The biggest blow is i can't recognize the areas i grew up in, roamed around or collected from. Theruvula ninna oru belonging-e illa. Jana koottam appadiye thallittu poidra feeling. Mumbai la ellaam enna sombal, sogam irundhaalum theruvula kaaleduthu vecha ella poirum, jivvu nu oru jeevan varum. (Bangalore is extremely depressing-ngaradhu vera vishayam). At least there are pockets in Bangalore where you have space for yourself and it feels like a residence.
And the house rents for the quality of the apartments is apalling in Chennai. Bangalore la irukka koodiya condominium madhiri Chennai la kedaiyaadhu, appadiye irundhaalum araajaga rent.
Chennai-vaasiya irukkumbodhellaam veyyil oru porutte illa. Modhalla veliyoorukku velaikkaaga vaazhndhappa'laam Chennai-a bayangarama defend pannuven. The decline started in the late 2000's (2005/6 was one of the best periods for me so i'm discounting that. One important reason was my work place was within the city).
And this OMR thing is BS. Ellaa office-um anga dhaan irukku. Where does one stay? City-la irundhaa prachanai, veliya ponaalum prachanai. This is the main reason why Bangalore worked. Of course, it's all down to my specific circumstances and how it affects me.

You mean there is excess of Real Estate projects? Black ai white aakki real estate project panraanga ok, but why price rise becos of this?!?

Those who invest black money( a form of money laundering) can spend more - offer more for the land and building materials raising the cost for all.
This is very common. People who sell their homes in California can afford to buy houses at prices higher than local prices in other states raising the price for all. I have seen this happen.
