Dear John, Talking of Chennai,if u can speak Tamil ,it's a gr8 place to stay ,otherwise it's a hell.It's my personal exp.Everyone has their own opinion,u can't generalize & say tht a particular city is gud\bad.According to u,if Bang is tht bad, how come local kannadiga population is mere 25-30%.And btw ,i'm neither a kannadiga nor a bangalorean.
