When I came to Chennai, I was confident that I can stay comfortably in any part of India. I have seen almost all the cultures of India at the college and had pals from almost all parts of India.
How wrong I was!! Madras and Madrasis proved me so wrong. You have to be a different kind of creature to survive in this so called metro of India. Here are some of the tips to survive in this region, which I am sure will act as surviving tips for many and it is the central idea of this blog.
I have spent close to five years in Tamilnadu to experience it. The rules below do not apply to the whole bunch, but defintely applicable to 90% of the population. And you judge a culture by the majority.
1. Rule - 1: ------------
Never speak in Hindi.
... Even if the other person can speak (weird, ha!). And God forbid if the other person is a Tamil. Never ever speak in that language with them. They are more dangerous than who really can not speak. Of course, you can not understand even if he speaks (and their is tinge of pride when he speak...because he can speak)
Of course, all Tamil will talk in Hindi once they are outside Tamilandu...well they are like that, the race is full of cowards and the whole state is paradoxical. Will come on that later.
