Reached Chennai safely...Chennai Airport Photos







I wanted to make this article simple and short, but I will try my best.

It was a long flight for me from California to Chennai. I waited for almost a night in Chennai till morning for a morning flight to Chennai, from Chennai. I liked the fact that there is a direct flight from Chennai to Chennai. So I am connected for an international flight to Chennai, indirectly. Isn't that great?!!

As the flight was nearing, I was just watching down to see my lovely Chennai. Paramount Airways, as always is great in hospitality. I had great chat with my co-passengers, who where originally from Sivakasi etc.,

Atlast I reached Chennai and took photos in Chennai Airport.

I saw significant differences in Chennai Airport, not in the same terminal. Whatever airport was there, it is all the same. But, there is a nearby building being built for the new terminal. I was glad to see that.

Only the people who travel can take this photo. I don't think anybody outside, who is not travelling can take this photo. Here are some of my captures...

Price rise in Chennai

When you see the price rise in Chennai, it is comparatively lower than in other metro cities which I have been. Recently my brother who had come from US was shocked to see the price rise in Chennai. Truly he hadn't expected the amount of this much price rise over there. It is not a shocking thing but this is the case throughout India. People have got accustomed to it.

My personal advice would be to do a little bit of research on what we are going to do and then act accordingly. For example if you want to buy anything in Chennai, just ask people in Chennai about where can we buy the thing, how much it would cost, and questions like that. This would give us the person the idea about the item. Then the person can proceed.

Or else we have to learn by ourselves and then understand. By this approach we would have wasted some amount of money and with that losing some peace of mind.

Be aware.

Chennai Money - keep liquid investments in some cases

Keep some of your investments Liquid

Chennai personal finance wisdom -

Sponsored by OruAcre.com

Are you planning a major purchase this year? If so, make sure to keep some of your investments liquid. The liquidity of an asset refers to how quickly it can be converted to cash without penalty. So, if you are planning a significant expenditure, is important to have liquid assets to avoid pulling from a long-term investment or a retirement fund at an inopportune time.

Most long-term accounts will penalize you for withdrawing your money too early. Some will take away the interest that you have earned; others will actually dip into the principal that you have invested. Utilize a high-yield savings account or a short-term Fixed deposits to have funds accessible when you need them.

Hope this helps in your savings!!!
