I feel pity towards the author and those who are agreeing with the views of the author. He is totally misunderstood about chennai. Probably he never stepped in to Chennai. Forget about those comments which came in news papers and channels.Its just exaggeration to the most extent to what really happend.Also the topics which you are talking about are least significant areas to judge about a metro,there are many areas which you can really enjoy .Just look in to those areas. If you stay in chennai you will never be able to come out of it.And if you learn Tamil and have interest towards music and movies,thats it you can almost settle there and live peaceful life.
