What makes me HATE Chennai? |

Hi
Weird title, and I might cause some controversy here..all I am presenting is the viewpoint of a typical north indian chap...
1. Chennai has the worst public transport system in the country. There is no denying that. Buses are a 100 years old, no train/metro, and construction for metro has been going on for eternity
2. Is there any other metropolitan city in the world where people get salty water in their homes?? Its unbelievable, that to bathe, I need to buy water from a private tanker, while the government continues to ignore this
3. politics? what else can explain the strong politician-water tanker-auto union nexus? all it takes is 1000 cr to setup a desalination plant...cant be done because the political top brass owns the tankers!!
4. autos? u always have to negotiate. the meters cant work, and nothing can be done about it. chennai autos are the biggest blot on the city. sucks.
5. communication? try communicating in hindi or english (1, indian mother tongue, the 2nd, business language across the world). impossible. u cant help going back to ice age, and use sign language ot communicate. the sad part is, people who know hindi wud rather not speak. why?
6. weather? well nothing can be done about it, so wont say anything
Would be honored if someone can tell me 2 good reasons why I should love chennai. i would be obliged.
