Chennai

Chennai hosted me last few days. I am visiting the city after around 3 years. My previous visit was with my bike from Bangalore.
I could'nt but do a few copmarisons on chennai and Bangalore.
Climate - No comparisons.....Chennai is a Pressure Cooker.

Traffic - comparable. Less intersections and more Flyovers. Faster moving traffic in heart of the city.

But one thing in which bangalore scores over chennai in traffic is the alertness. In chennai you need to have your Sixth Sense on...if you donot want to bang into somebody with your vehicle and get banged. The variety of modes of transport and beings that use the road is more. cycles, pushcarts,bullock cart to Buses and trucks use all the lanes of road. Cows, dogs and humans(of course!) have the right of way( you hit him and you are at fault...even if you are right by rules!!) . And the Climate adds to your discomfort and stress of driving.
Roads....almost the same....may be worse in chennai in the City.

Food......Chennai....Without doubt...(of course taste lies in individual taste buds)...especially south Indian Vegetarian.
Cost of living.....Less comparably....and there is space for each and every section of people.
But less cosmopolitan.

I am happy to be back in bangalore........
