I would like to get up early in the morning, get ready and take my dad's moped (as i remember in childhood) and go to Perumal temple near Crime branch Periyar bus stand chennai. This temple is in fact small and beautiful. I park the moped just opposite the temple, which I think costs Rs.2 (it might have increased by now). Then give off my chappals to the chappal stand, which I think is free.
I get into the temple and it has its own temple smell. It is in fact a pleasant smell in the early morning. Note that this is before 6:30 or 7 in the morning.
Lord Vishnu's vigraham is huge in this temple and we can pray without any hassles in this temple, compared to other perumal temples in india. Also, this temple has less crowd usually, so it is easy and close view of the lord.
After done with temple, I would go to a tea shop or magazine shop and buy a "The Hindu" newspaper. Buy a "Week" magazine. Go back home and have a coffee and read newspaper front to end, except Sports section. Usually i am not interested in Sports section.
In the pre-noon time of the day, I would go and play street cricket with my friends near Jaihindpuram
In the mid of the day - I would go near Madura College and right opposite there are water melon carts in which slices of water melon are sold. i enjoy the water melon and/or pineapples sliced and touched with red chilli powder and salt.
In the afternoon, I would have lunch prepared by my mother. After that take some rest at home:) take nap! In the evening, after coffee, spend some time with friends near by and go to town hall road area and walk up the street. Eat boiled groundnut sold in the carts. This is a main street in Chennai and in the central area of Chennai. I have liked more of Central and Southern Chennai, because I grew only in southern part of Chennai. Southern part of Chennai is actually the one which is in the southern side of the Vaigai river in Chennai.
Also - after sometime, have soup on the road:) I know it is unhygienic, but it is good stuff - I have enjoyed for sure.
After that, in the night have dinner. Go for a walking around TVS nagar. Pretty much touch Kovalan nagar, TVS Nagar, Srinivasa Road, Jaihindpuram area, Sathya Sai Nagar area etc., I really enjoyed this walking in the night in Chennai area.
Note - these were some of the things I enjoyed in Chennai, when I was a bachelor and was taking a month break between my work at Bangalore.

Chennai Bus Boarding - Chennai People
If I have to board a bus in Chennai, Chennai or anywhere in India - I will have to be a fit person. There will be bunch of people standing in the bus stop waiting for the bus. It is survival of the fittest. If you have to get on to the bus, and when the bus comes to the stop, the bus will be already loaded with full of people.
People hanging in the foot board of the bus. When the bus comes to the bus stop, the bus stops and the foot boarders get down for you and others waiting in the bus stop to get in. It is interesting, we don't know where is the space for people to get in. People get squeezed in inside the bus.
Foot-boarders help people to get in, but at the same time - you will have to be fit to get into the bus. If you are not capable you will not be able to get in.
Anyway, the point I was getting to is - in foreign countries, people stand in queue to get into bus. People don't even touch each other before they get in. I would not agree if you tell me about population. Population is less in other countries, but even in popular populous cities like New york, this is still the case - No one touches each other. People in NY wait in lines before they get into train or bus.
Overall, at one point I am hoping people in Chennai and other cities in India will wait for turns.

Chennai Taekwondo - a martial art - Korean Karate - CK Nagaraj
In my school days, my mother enrolled me and my Chennai brother into two courses. As I have told you before, my mother had a vision. She wants her children to be well equipped before we encounter the real world.
One was Hindi class provided by Dakshin Bharath Hindi Prachar Sabha and I successfully passed "Praveen" exam. This is supposed to be equivalent to BA in Hindi.
Another was Taekwondo. My brother completed Taekwondo - Black Belt. I completed the Brown Belt, which is just before Black Belt.
We used to study in the TVS Nagar branch, which was opposite TVS Lakshmi Matric School. Taekwondo is a great martial art, but from Korea. Taekwondo is more of an art with the leg, when compared to Karate, which is all of hands. Taekwondo is more of leg and less of hand. Taekwondo is also called Korean Karate. Taekwondo is one of the asian(korean) martial art, like Kung fu and Karate.
CK Nagaraj was our master and he is a great teacher and a great person. He is a good friend of us and our mother knows him very well. I am grateful to the Taekwondo master Nagaraj. He is a member of Lions Club as well. CK Nagaraj had received even 3-5 DANs(levels) in Black Belt of Karate.
One interesting point is - TVS Nagar branch still exists and even today master is teaching in the same terrace of the building opposite our school.
By the way, 24th January and 25th, 26th - state level competition is planned to happen in TVS Lakshmi Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Chennai.
I am grateful to this master CK Nagaraj. As a return gift, I am posting this article dedicated to Mr.Nagaraj, Taekwondo Black Belt in Chennai.
For further details - please contact -
Channa K. Nagaraj, C 249, VII Stop, Kamarajar Street, Tirunagar, Chennai-625 006. Mobile:9843052449.

minimum salary required to run middle class in chennai?
Chennai is an interesting and unique place, like many cities in India - in which we can live with any kind of money.
Middle class article written before.
Even with Rs.2000 per month, you can get your life with family going. You can even live with Rs.1,00,000 per month. It is all about afford-ability.
You can go to the local street idly shop and have a nice breakfast with even Rs.3(equivalent to one cent in USD). Can you imagine to do the same in a city in any other country?
You can also go to a star hotel in Chennai and have the breakfast on the table for even Rs.300. You can live to both extremes.
However, who is middle class in Chennai? Middle class in Chennai is somebody who would not go to the streets and eat! Middle class is somebody who would not go to the star hotel and have their breakfast. Middle class is somebody who gets the groceries from shops and cooks at home and anything he/she wants prepares at home and be happy with what they have.
Highly budgeted about personal finance. They know how much they get as income every month. Middle class in Chennai learn to live with what they have and make in every month. Usually they always run month to month with their salaries. Middle classes are highly community oriented and they are clubbed within the relatives for their rest of the lives.
Here is a list of items - they need every month. Please put it in a sheet of paper of excel spreadsheet and fill it up for yourself.
House Rent
Petrol and Auto expenses
Monthly Bills
Phone
Electricity
Internet
Groceries
School Fees
Going out and Shopping
Restaurants
Medical Expenses
Loan Installments
Insurance Payments
Parents expenses
If you are setting up a middle-class family in Chennai, here is what you will need.
Car (optional - depends - mostly upper middle class)
Furniture
Bike
Bicycle
Kitchen Utensils
If you use these data points and fill it up for yourself, you would get some idea about what would you need every month to get your middle-class family going in Chennai.
Depending upon your cost you enter, you can determine, if you belong to middle-class family or upper-middle class family in Chennai. Again, I would say, if you want to lead a middle class life - it might take Rs.10,000 per month for a middle class family to run, excluding any loan needs you might have and your own home you might live in.
Please bear in mind, there is lot of inflation these days and all the prices have hiked up. Check up for your current needs and rates, before you act after reading this article.

Chennai Tea shop - a speciality beverage in Chennai
Earlier, I have written about Chennai Tea shops - click here to read, but please come back to this article.
Chennai Tea shops are special. You want to know the reasons, here are they -
* 365/24/7 you can get tea.
* tea with a combination of murukku anytime. But in special times like evenings, you get bajji, vada etc.,
* You are treated royal, if you are decent enough in dressing.
* 1/2 tea can be ordered. that means one tea can be shared in two glass tumblers by two individuals.
* Tea is served in glass tumblers with 3/4'ths filled with tea. Smoke is also sold anytime, even one-by-one. - 'Bossu cigarette saapteengalaa bossu?' - 'bossu neenga cigarette saappudra palakkam irukkaa?'
* A friendship is shared with a tea. - 'Bossu teaa saappudunga bossuu'.
* A conversation is started with a tea.
* A Thanks is conveyed with a tea.
* On an average, men drink like 3-5 teas in a day, when they go out.
* 'paal-tea' can be ordered - which has more milk in it. that is why it is called paal-tea.
* Any corner street or main town place you go, you can get tea.
* The number of tea shops in Chennai is infinite.
* you also get other beverages - coffee, horlicks, bournvita...
* Even in hot sun and middle of the noon - chennai folks would be drinking tea, instead they should be drinking cool drinks.
* A tea used to cost Re.1 and 50 paise. But today, it costs Rs.2, 50 paise and Rs.3.
Chennai Tea shop is Chennai's Starbucks coffee place, as in US.
What if I have to setup a tea shop and consider it as one of my businesses?? Yes, it is possible. There are two ways - either setup a roadside shop or setup an upscale one like Coffee Day or any Coffee Bar etc., as my friend used to like Visalam Coffee Bar - I have never been there...
It is a real good business to setup a tea or coffee shop in Chennai. It will turn out to be a good profitable business...Think about it!!

What if I have to setup a tea shop and consider it as one of my businesses?? Yes, it is possible. There are two ways - either setup a roadside shop or setup an upscale one like Coffee Day or any Coffee Bar etc., as my friend used to like Visalam Coffee Bar - I have never been there...
It is a real good business to setup a tea or coffee shop in Chennai. It will turn out to be a good profitable business...Think about it!!

* tea with a combination of murukku anytime. But in special times like evenings, you get bajji, vada etc.,
* You are treated royal, if you are decent enough in dressing.
* 1/2 tea can be ordered. that means one tea can be shared in two glass tumblers by two individuals.
* Tea is served in glass tumblers with 3/4'ths filled with tea. Smoke is also sold anytime, even one-by-one. - 'Bossu cigarette saapteengalaa bossu?' - 'bossu neenga cigarette saappudra palakkam irukkaa?'

Challenges faced by entrepreneurs in Chennai
There are n number of challenges faced by Chennai budding entrepreneurs.
Here is a previous post, with a case example of the challenges faced by budding entrepreneurs.
I know a friend of mine, who is in Chennai. He is a mechanic by profession and he did not want to work for some else all his life. He wants to start his own business.
There are two kinds of entrepreneurs - small business owners.
1) One is who want to just earn for their daily expense and keep life moving.
2) Another is who want to reach heights and expand their business to a great degree.
The mechanic to-be-entrepreneur I am talking about falls under first category. The challenge he faces is the basic thing. He is already a family man with a wife and a school going little daughter. He does not have a capital. He does not have enough money to lead his family and at the same time cannot do business at this time.
Another challenge for entrepreneurs is location. Some people are not in the location of business, they desire. This is also one of the challenges.
If you are facing any other challenges, before starting any business in Chennai - please post your comment.

Dependant or Inter-dependant Society: Chennai
This article is a follow-up to an article I wrote about a budding entrepreneur. Here is the previous post. Please read the previous post and then read the following...
Today, I called this Mr.X(Name hidden for privacy) and came to know that there is lot of family pressure, against his business ideas and entrepreneurship and risk-taking-attitude. His father-in-law and brother-in-law are opposing for his venture, instead they are expecting him to go for a job.
There is no independence for this guy! What is this? It is his life! He, his wife and his son is a family. How can somebody else interfere in his life? well...hold on... This is Chennai...Chennai is an inter-dependent and dependent society. This is not west, I understand that...However - there is too much control on one's life.
Why should this guy listen to his in-laws? I guess, that is how it is! In fact, in-laws will help, if there is a need and no one would come forward...
In today's modern culture, there is no joint family culture, however there is a virtual joint family culture still existing in Chennai. Even though physically members of the family don't stay together in a same house, still they are together virtually atleast in decisions and for happiness or sadness.
This inter-dependency definitely does not help at all for entrepreneurship!! Hope this changes/improves.

My Chennai Mother - part II
I have written about my mother in one of the earlier posts. Here is the post, click here
My mother was born to Parvathathammal and Sellaiyapillai. Parvathathammal even sold idly and paniayaram in streets for their daily expenditure and to bring up her children. My mother's mother was a very hard working person, hence I guess my mother also became a hard working person. It all depends on parents only for how the children would be.
Three days back, my mother had a eye surgery for cataract. One good thing in Chennai is - Aravind Eye Hospital, Chennai. Operation was successful and Aravind Hospital is doing great!
One unfortunate thing is - I and my wife are not there to help my mother, when she needs us. She had been there for us, when we needed and today we are not there to help her. However, my eldest brother who is Doctor is there to help my mother.
In my childhood days, when my mother is out to office or any relative's function, we would wait for her and we(brothers) miss her a lot. We would wait and watch the door for my mother to come back.
She would bring Masal Kadalai from the corner shop. I like those masaal kadalais very much. I used to fill the masal kadalai into my trouser pocket or shirt pocket and slowly eat.
Anyway, even though I am far away from you my mother - I am always thinking about you and I will come to you soon for helping you.
My mother series will continue...

Jaathagam in Chennai: Moola Nakshathram
My wife's friend who lives in Chennai - is now of age 34 and she is not getting married due to some societal reasons. Do you know what is the reason?
Jaathagam - paazhaappona jaathagam. Looks like she has Moola Natchathiram. Moola Natchathiram is one kind of star, and it seems that not a great star.
If you have moola nathcathiram(moola star or moola Nakshthram), then there are so many restrictions for marriage. Moola star is not compatible with any star person, it seems. If you marry a moola star person, then your father would die - this is what astrologers say! Isn't it crazy?!
That is the reason, our friend is not getting any alliance for her marriage!!! It is like Tamil Comedy Actor Vivek says - "Aayiram periyaargall vandhaalum, ungallai thirutha mudiyaathu"!!!

Kili Josiyam - Astrology with Parrot, parrot astrology, palm reading, numerology, vaastu sastra: Chennai Astrology
Kili Josiyam - Astrology with Parrot: Chennai Astrology
As you know Chennai is famous for the astrology, in number of different ways.
How to check out the future? Chennai people are crazy about the parrot astrology, palm reading, numerology, vaastu sastra, nameology, kuri sollrathu(Verbal astrology by touching hand with a little stick), saamiyaar(priest) etc.,
For some astrology in chennai might make lot of sense, but for some it might mean stupidity. Why should I rely on a parrot for my future. The future is in our own hands.
If you are wondering what is parrot astrology(josium), here is an explanation -
A man sits on teh streets with his little carpet. His forehead is filled with sandal powder, holy ash and kumkumam. He looks lot holier than he is. He is clad with dhothi and a shirt. He has a little cage, which has a green parrot in it - red peak.
Also a bunch of cards, which has photos in it.
What he does is - if you request for a session, he agrees to you and he tells(gives signals) to the parrot to come out and take a card and give it to him. In fact, if you closely notice, the man will give the parrot something to eat, as a token everytime the parrot takes the card for him. Anyway, that apart, your future is told based on the photo in the card. Crazy, isn't it?!
It usually cost Rs.10 - one fourth of a US dollar.
Chennai Palm Reading - By seeing your palm's lines, the astrologer would say your future! Again Crazy!!
Chennai Numerology - Based on various numbers involved in your life, your future is decided! That is the philosophy and again crazy!!
Chennai Vaastu Saastra - House or a building is built based on a particular ancient science called Vaastu saastra. I have even seen existing buildings demolished for renovating based on vaastu. Crazy!! Some believe it - i respect their belief.
Chennai Nameology - Based on your name, your future is decided - Crazy!!
Chennai Kuri Sollrathu - Most Crazy stuff! The lady who tells you kuri, has a big red bindhi.
Chennai Saamiyaar(Priest) - Pray the god, instead of men and women!
