just returned from home base! Boy, how the city and country have changed! India Inc. is evident everywhere!
Striking points....
1) Planes are outnumbering mosquitoes!'Standing' ticket costs less.
2) Chennai city limits.......don't exist! Awaiting Pondicherry as a suburb!
3) 'Earn in Rupees. Spend in Dollars' is the norm!
4) Basic amenities include water, electricity and cell phones...
5) At Last...no Auto fare bargaining. Pay double or get lost!
6) Saravana Bhavan Meals - Rs.100+! I think i'll settle for a 'Subway' sandwich!
7) Pizza Hut family size pizza........good appetizer
8) 'Park and Ride' in T Nagar - park far away and take an auto to the shops!
9) Billboards = skyscrapers
10) We have our own DOWN UNDER , thanks to all the FLY OVERS
11) Hmmm...what FM station shall i listen to today?
The city is growing, maturing, opening up and bubbling! it is an intriguing mix.
What will 'Arasi', 'Lakshmi', 'Kasturi' & 'Ahalya' do in tonight's episode of 'Sex and the City'?

Nice note... and yeah... gas prices... so much for the effect of rising gas prices, we put 1200 new vehicles on the road in bangalore everyday!
Well said.
