Well Puneet:
The challenge is all about getting used to the place regardless of whether it is Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi or for that matter another country, because we are used to a way of living.
Well, I have moved to Mumbai recently and I have'nt settled down- I feel Chennai is far better than Mumbai despite all the shortcoming that you have mentioned, because my comfort levels are in Chennai having lived there for a while.
If auto fares are an issue in Chennai, they are an issue in many other parts- as you pointed out in Delhi. But you perhaps find it a lot more easier to get around in Delhi cos you've been there, whereas I find it easier in Chennai cos I know the place and the language- I speak Hindi like a Madrasi and autowalas in Delhi do take me for a ride.
If India had a unified national language and if everyone could communicate in it, it would'nt be a land of diversity with the dialect changing every few miles.
Well these are not excuses- I definitely agree that many of these issues cannot be ignored and need to be acted upon.
Nevertheless, it is a great city.
