Enna veyil ethanai veyil..kodi heater kottiya veyil..

Yaaro sonnanga, Chennai Ooty madhiri iruku after those surprising rains here..appo I was grumbling that naama irukara idam ellam koluthum pola-ntu, coz Sydney was so damn hot with around 45 degrees on New Year day. Ippo vandhu partha 'Kodhikudhe kodhi kodhikudhe, chennai romba kodhikudhe'-nu Sneha-Saravana stores style-la padalam pola iruku, andha alavuku pottu thakkudhu veyyil! Either I should be in the bad books of Mr. Sun or it should be the eternal game-plan of destiny that I should be in the wrong place at the wrong time!

And traffic!! Kadavule! Naan Chennai vittu oru 2.5 years munnadi kilambumpodhu it was ok, not so bad and I was one of the few crazy people who rode a bike as if it were some jet. And since I took my two-wheeler along with me when I got employed in another city, I didnt have a chance to ride whenever I came to Chennai for a weekend. Aana ippo parkanume!! Jeez, kanna pinna-nu ottaranga, and the roads are just fested with two-wheelers and four-wheelers that there is hardly a cm gap left between two vehicles. And konjam Sydney roads-ku accustom aayitu, inga sudden-a yaravadhu cut panni ottina heart adhoda idathai vittutu oesophagus vazhiya oru second velila vandhu thalai kattitu pora feeling! Moreover everyone drives madly, Chennai is full of people who have the aspiration to become bike-racers-ntu ninaikaren. Unfortunately ennoda two-wheeler ithanai naal naan uttutu pona kobathula pesa madandhai-ya vera poiducha, honk-um panna mudiyama I had to drive behind every cyclist on the road!

And don't ignore the land prices here..kanna pinna-nu shoot ayiruku ground rates and building rates. Saligramam-la oru 1600 sqft apartment is around 40L and R.A.Puram-la oru sq-ft-e 6000 bucks! So Annanagar, Mylapore ellam kekkave vendam, you can guess that. You go onsite once, and when you return, whatever you earn gets lost in the appreciation value of the land/building/apartment. Idhuku Sydney-laye veedu vangirukalam pola!

Election approach aagudhu inga, so ellaroda posters-um colorful-a ottirukanga, and an interesting new entrant is Vijayakanth..ivar enna scene poda poraro therila. Aama, adhu enna tricolor flag oru compulsion madhiri aayiduchu? Any rule that Dravida kazhagam-nu end aara katchi ellam tricolor flag vachikanum-nu? Beats me!
