I'm Tamilian who're really ahsamed for this attack. This may be the first time in history of Tamilnadu that other linguistical people are attaked. This is a wrong move. I strongly condemn it as a Tamilian and a human. Afterall language is all for communication, though tamil is beyond all. Kindly stay calm and protect our unity. Don't hate Kannadiga. They're our brothers.

telugus are holding only fake education certificates, even US embassy says so, who will believe your stories Ha Ha
The title of the article "Tit for Tat" is offensive! The irresponsible media is often the cause of such communal troubles. Or is Rediff taking sides because of the emotion involment of its owners who belong to that region?

Everything is political here. Starting from the vegetable vendor to the CEO of a company, everyone owes allegience to either Amma (Jayalathiaaa/AIADMK party) or Anna (Karunanidhi/DMK). Be very careful when you make any statements, it can be suicidal. You never know who belongs to which party.
If not get ready for the show insight the black bulky legs behind the lungis!
And yes, the auto-drivers, they are the epitome of political alignment. Never fight with them. In fact, they are the most powerful and rowdiest community in Madras.
3. Rule - 3: ------------
Rajnikant is omnipresent, omnipotent.
Have you ever heard of him? You will, when you come here. And he is superhero. Never ever tell anything wrong about him. He can do anything. He can romance with girls young enough to grand daughters, can catch a knife in his mouth and throw it back to the villain, can jump from 20 story building. And all that is true, stuff of legend.
And yes, all the auto drivers, another exceptional breed here, are clones of Rajnikant. Next rule is on that.
4. Rule - 4: -------------
Never take an auto. Taxi with a meter is always a safe bet.
Even with Taxis, better cross check with someone about the fare to your desired destination will cost. Otherwise you will pay 200 rupees to go from Chennai international terminal to the domestic terminal, distance of which is 200 meters!

5. Rule - 5: ------------
Do not mention in meeting where you are from.
It does not really bother them. There are two India, which has TN as a state and another for the Tamils who think India is inside TN.
Once a Tamil told me (and he a graduate engineer) that anything other than TN is "North" India. So Karnataka, Keral, AP all in Noth!! So repeating, never need to tell them anything on that. Just inform that you do not know Tamil.
6. Rule - 6: ------------
This is for professionals. Think ten times before you join a company run by Tamils.
Everything will be Tamil...the meetings, the discussions, your cubicle discussion, the functions/parties. And if you talk that to your boss, may GOD help you. He just another developed version!!
Yes you guessed it right, as it is run by these creatures, they will only try to recruit from their own species. So look before you leap into a company, it can a trap you ever dreamt of in your career.
7. Rule - 7 : -----------
Tamilnadu is full of pseudeo intellectuals.
Tamils always think they have all the intellectual capability, beauty etc, etc, etc. They will tell that they invented zero, Sanskrit is a non descript language, Chennai is the most cosmopoilitan city, Aiswara Rai is from Tamilnadu.
The list is never ending. So the rule is, never argue with Tamils in TN. Remember that niti bani ... "Never argue with fools". Apply this rule purely here, period.

8. Rule - 8: ------------
Whole state and its affair is paradoxical. Hence never bother what these idiots tell.
Do do not waste your time about learing anything about their culture. I assure you that you have nothing to learn from them, rather you will waste your time.
9. Rule -9: -----------
Want to talk to someone. Use "ama" (means "yes") frequently.
Yes, it is the thumb rule and see the development. Your work will be done relatively faster. But do not give an impression that you know the language. Just give an impression that you people are most unbelievable race on the planet (never mind they are a collection of rowdies, they know it.)
10. Rule - 10: --------------
While taking a house, make everything clear.
Yes, make everything clear to the owner, the water, the electricity amount to be paid, your timings, your food...everythingfrom A to Z.
When you see a house, the owner will be the most descent creature on earth. Later on first casualty will be your early morning chores. Madras is city without water and in summer seasons very few take a descent bath. If you are non vegetarian make it clear to them. House shifting is pain.

11. Rule - 11: --------------
Always use markets or places where people can speak in English.
This way you will not get cheated and will be able to understand what they speak. Never ever try to learn Tamil. Trust me you will loose more than gain if you try to learn this medieval language. If you try, first casualty will be your English, second will be the change in personality. I can safely vouch for it.
Now you will ask me how come I stayed here for such a long time.
Well, I worked almost isolatedly and was lucky to be under people who were from other parts of India or stayed in other parts of India. And I had a good run. Nevertheless, I had to spend many sleepless nights to get my job done. But I loved it, doing everything on my own. That I did as I am bachelor.
If you have a family or you are planning to have a family shortly, never ever think of working in Tamilnadu. In case you come, ensure to follow the rules and have your own friend circles. Otherwise, this village city will be a HELL.
hey guys, its very evident that all this drama is created by politicians. Due to closing of elections, its best time for such incidents to polarise votes, and what can be better for such politiacians to take this oppurtunity in hand..they are desperatefor power and to again come and start raping Bangalore for money...they have tashed cash in their coffers for generations and still want more...its shame on karnataka, s and people who elect them....they should be thrown in gutters and sewage of banaglore and buried on 'road' of bangalore...
Very few in India see me as a South Indian (though my roots are from Kerala, but have been brought up in Gujarat). But now I am in Malaysia and whenever any Tamil taxi driver or sales person sees me he starts rattling off in Tamil. When I say, I don't understand the language they are surprised that how come I am from India and don't know the language. So I tell them "All Tamilians are Indian, but not all Indians are Tamilians" TN is just about 6-8% of India!!
