Snippets from Madras

What's new (or old) in Madras?

- It is "99F Feels like 112F" can't-get-hot-enough outside!
- Murugan Idli kadai has opened in Besant Nagar
- Huge hoardings of "Chandramukhi" and some other random Ilaya Thalapathi type hoardings everywhere!
- Satellite radio in Chennai
- Just drove my dad's car on Marina Beach road
- Landmark book store is as happening as ever
- Ring tones here are the coolest.
- "The Hindu" has a new look!
- Mangoes are in season
- Listening to MS in Madras is different from listening to her on US-101
- There is nothing else quite like a Sunday lunch with family

I could go on and on. There are only a few places that are close to your heart. And they stay there.
