Chennai... The Rainbow city..


 
Ahoy there dear readers, the World cup fever is well and truly on and i really hope your cheers and support for the Indian cricket team and Sachin Tendulkar is in full steam. Keep it going. Let us all pray, atleast for the little maestro we win this cup




I have been born and brought up in Chennai and I can safely say I have seen this city much better than many have. The growth of Chennai has been spell binding and rapid to say the least. In my 22years of living in Chennai almost everything around me has changed, positively.  When non-Chennaiites describe Chennai, the most popular words used are Restricting, Boring and Conservative…. This is like describing Sachin Tendulkar as a “Short guy”, “Not as athletic as Usain Bolt!!  It’s completely off the point isn't it? Chennai protects its youth, it exposes to them only to safe things. Children in Chennai grow up in a gated community, intellectual thoughts fill their brain and it is the atmosphere here that makes it so.

The city at its apotheosis redefines beauty. Chennai is, truly, the cultural hub of India. It is home to all art forms and all colors of the nation. The infrastructure in the city is paragon, be it the medical facilities, the sports setup, the educational amenities, the cultural repertoire, the media setup, the social awareness, technological progress… Chennai stands out! It is not that the city flourishes in one field and stutters elsewhere, the foundation is so strong that every aspect is truly bristling!!
Proof for this is not hard to find. We see almost every day in the papers that Microsoft and Google call Chennai the best places to invest in. Patients from Pakistan, US, France and elsewhere on the planet fly to Chennai to get themselves treated!!! The facilities available to the common man here in Chennai are much more sophisticated than anywhere else in the country.
The IT sector has boomed here and along with it the economy has been enriched. The country’s most learned; most sporting and most intellectual brains are from Chennai. The focus of this loving city is not to produce a few handful heroes, but to make every person, an accountable and respectable HUMAN BEING. Theists abound here but atheists also thrive in this city. Every religion, every color, every caste has its own rightful place yet this city has no barriers. The doors of Chennai are always open to those who seek for it. The safety here in Chennai is paramount. It is a policy of better safe than sorry here and it is a real fact that people enjoy and appreciate that aspect inj Chennai. As a shield from anti social elements too, Chennai is impenetrable. Perhaps the least affected by terrorists, extortionists and other fiendish acts is Chennai.
Music, Sports, Art, Culture, Education, Science, Nature, Security, Secularism, Patriotism... You name it; Chennai has the best of it all. The carnatic music season in Chennai is perhaps the most epochal identity for Chennai. Come December and the city swarms with people from all backgrounds, nationalities, skill sets and cultures. Chennai is the place to be during December mainly.
The food here is the very best, any dish you love you can find it here. The world’s second largest beach is in Chennai, temples and heritage sites are in plenty. Geographically too, Chennai is blessed. The Chennai summers are hot yes, but perhaps this city has the best of all worlds. The winters are moderately cold and the heat of Chennai is far better than the heat of many other cities in India.
But the most important point of all is the fact that this city gives you Love in infinity.  Here human beings are treated rightfully and lovingly. Everyone cares about the guy next to him. With so much of sheen, Chennai is truly..........The Rainbow city.
