How this place changed my life
I have started my career in a Startup working as a Software Developer. I am still grateful to people of chennai. It has good infrastructure and commuting facilities. We can have many choices of place to hangout depends on the mood. Chennai is well known for its Beach ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina_beach ). It also has many temples, shopping complex, multiplex, resorts, bay area, theaters and ofcourse diversified people. But Now its getting densely populated.
Anyway, I wish all the people would have a Happy and Peaceful Life there! I may return back to chennai in future. :)

News about this place
Well, I’ve been here several times..but each visit has been an interesting one. This city boasts excellent South Indian food and great entertainment which you ought to try when there. It has colour & character. But the city has become heavily congested & polluted in recent years. So beware of the traffic madness. Whatever it is, the people showed their extraordinary resilience in the aftermath of tsunami. And they are still friendly as ever.

Introduction to Chennai
November 20, 2006
Chennai is neither ancient nor lovely. Formerly called Madras, the capital of Tamil Nadu is a teeming, sprawling, bustling industrial metropolis established on the site of a fishing village in 1639 as the first British settlement in India. Today it is often choked by pollution, acrid smells -- and people. The city is only marginally fascinating -- it's a strange mix of British Raj-era monuments, Portuguese churches, Hindu temples, and one of the longest urban beaches on earth. Most travelers arrive here simply because it's a transport hub and soon leave, discouraged by the intense heat, polluted air, and fever-pitch crowds. One of its big attractions -- Kanchipuram , city of "a thousand temples" -- is a day excursion away, while the region's most celebrated tourist attraction lies 2 hours south at Mamallapuram , a spectacular World Heritage Site, where you'd do well to overnight.
