Chennai, in the past known as Madras, is the capital of the great state Tamil Nadu and one of the four metropolitan cities in India. It is situated in the southern part of India.
This city is only 350 years old and it grew up under the influence of an English
settlement of Fort Saint George, with the time it absorbed the towns and villages
in the surrounding.
The British influence didn’t hinder Chennai in keeping its traditional
Tamil Hindu culture.
The city has a wide extension of about 180 square kilometres and is one of
the most important trading centres of India.
Chennai is well connected by road, rail and air to other important cities and
is also a sea port.
In 1639 Chennai was a little fisherman’s village, nowadays it is one
of the biggest and more beautiful cities of India.

Chennai's economy has a broad industrial base in the automobile, computer, technology, hardware manufacturing and healthcare industries. The city is India's second largest exporter of information technology (IT) and business process outsourcing (BPO) services. A major chunk of India's automobile manufacturing industry is based in and around the city and hence it is called the Detroit of India. Chennai is an important centre for Carnatic music and hosts a large cultural event, the annual Madras Music Season, which includes performances by hundreds of artists. The city has a vibrant theatre scene and is an ... More important centre for the Bharata Natyam, a classical dance form. The Tamil film industry is based in Chennai.

Surf d net befor getting into anyplace ... ask for suggestions to friends, neigbours, people at work place... thy tell u so much of things... for example where to go for shopping, where to look for person to hav mahendi done on ur hand, where not go during late hours to b away from problms, to b alert during bus, train travel... Chennai is really a gud place to visit, its beaches especially along wit family n friends, people of different culture, foreigners, place to learn ...enjoy... accept different culture....Chennai is really interesting for people who love any place n hav eagerness n interest to visit tht place... in tht case it can b any place

Chennai, the capital city, is going out of our culture. The trend has changed everything and every people. So there is lack of safety as well as the people has been addicted to western culture and make themselves spoil thier life. It is too dangerous while thinking of the future of today's generation. We must be back to our culture.

Very useful as I have friends and family there. My brother-in-law also has a house in Tamil Nadu and as such we may travel from Chennai proper to the village of Damarapakkam which is in between Arcot and Arni. The weather may be very hot, but the food and friends make up for the unpleasant weather.

CITY IS GOOD BUT LACKS TRAFFIC SENSE COMPARED TO BOMBAY AND BANGALORE. ROADS ARE NOT PROPER IN OLD TOWN. ONLY MAIN PLACES ARE CONCENTRATED. SHOPPING IN TNAGAR IS BECOMING A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE THANKS TO LACK OF OF PARKING SPACE AND GARBAGE.

I live in chennai since my birth. Only thing is you must own your house. Then you are the most satisfied person. If you are in a rented house you will not like Chennai. Probably this holds good to any city in India.

Good. But expensive. Would be better if it is clean and has good transport facilities. Better maintananace of roads and waste disposal is required. Peeking rates must be controlled. Rate check must be followed

Best for IT Job holders & people in search of doing any kind of job. But there is an opportunity for each & every person reaching Chennai, and its the place to make shelter for lives for the Lakhs and more.

It is very congested and noisy... probably once the metro rail project and the shift of the National Bus terminus to Perungalathur is completed the city will have an awesome look and comfort.

Most secure metro city as well as people are good. In chennai people always likely to visit temples. Safe city for womens who are coming from outside town or place. I like chennai very much.

Chennai is a Good city to live with the affordable budget.. but the transportation should be improved. If a new comer will enter chennai first time may be confused a lot.

Chennai has become too expensive, autos are charging too much, food is more expensive than Bangalore & Hyderabad. Cost of living has gone up too high in Chennai.

Of all cities in India, Chennai continues to be far better inspite of so many on going developmental work causing traffic congestions in all major arterial roads.
