Madras a.k.a Singara Chennai
About 165 kilometres from Pondicherry, there exists a really old, Cosmopolitan city. It was the Administrative headquarters of South India during the British regime. Yup, Its Madras. Right from childhood i have this obsession with old buildings which one can see in plenty in here. I dont know much about Madras but I do know something. I usually go to Chennai through the East Coast Road. The bus journey is quite good. But Wind biking would be 'Ulti. The road leading to Chennai has lotta Resorts and a couple of Amusement Parks and also a Multiplex cum Shopping Mall.
MGM, Little folks, Mayajaal, VGP and lots. There are lotta major food joints like Marrybrown, Juice Shop on Greams Road, Planet Yumm. Thiruvanmiyur is nothing for a person who own a bike or car. Its everything for pple like me. Its like a major bus terminus. We get buses to every part of the city from here. Adayar... hmm... It always reminds me of my BITSAT exam. It also reminds me of the Pizza Corner through which an aircraft rushes into (Its just below the flyover). Its like a major center. Its called Adayar because there used to be a lake (i'm not sure). It has nothing now though.
Now there are lots of places you can go from Adayar to. There's Madhya Kailas, Anna Salai, Royapettah, Mylapore, IIT, Anna Univ, Central Raiway Station, T.Nagar. Thats how much i know. And if you go back on the other direction you have the IT Corridor which is being made ready. We'll start with Madhya Kailas. This rarity is found in the newly built temple at Madhya Kailas, located in a sequestered corner of Adayar, one of the posh localities of the metropolitan Chennai. Anna Salai is like the heart of the city. It houses the Spencer Plaza which is one of the biggest Malls in South India. Lottsa Showrooms, Halls, LandMarks, Government Buildings, thats Anna Salai for me. Royapettah has nice coffee shops and the Satyam Multiplex in store for you. Its like Paradise for Movie buffs. Its not far away from Spencer Plaza. Just a 5 minute walk. Mylapore is where there are lotsa temples and where Iyers live. If you wanna have a really strong coffee, this is the place. Go to any roadside coffee shop. You'll have a coffee of your lifetime. There are also Pizza shops and Coffee shops in here....
IIT tho is a must go for Non-IITians(hehe). Awesome...!!! Playgrounds, Auditoriums, Old buildings.... I seriously am not aware of why i liked that campus so much. i've been there some 3 or 4 times. Anna univ, I like that Guindy Engg. College Building. I went there to give my HSEE. The Engineering Drawing room was kinda Old OLd. But the seating was comfortable than 6th floor TT, VIT(ahem ahem). T.Nagar or Thiagaraya Nagar is like shopping paradise for those who have their marriage in a week. Jewellery, Textiles.... only these. There are some good restaurants also... One i remember is Saravana Bhavan. Awesome Sambar Rice....!!!! Central Railway Station is just a Monument for me. I love watching really old buildings. And the Corp Building next to it... oh that sight is amazing... Ripon Buildings... Finally if you wanna go to the beach Marina can be a nightmare, better go to Beasant Nagar.
After being to Chennai recently, i found out something i missed before.... A Ride on the Electric Trains. Thats like really amazing... "Dont Miss It". And i found this really amazing Rock Pub, Star Rock in Nungambakkam... heavy metal's playing saturday nights... so be there if you're goin to chennai on a Saturday... And Go early coz it gets jam packed really quick... And pple looking for chics stay away... you'll get disappointed... hehe...
