Doors of Tamil Nadu

I still remember the day when I came to Chennai with my bag and baggage. The day was scary as I was unwilling to come to Chennai. 


Reason was my love for fantasy and my destiny was in reality. I am on a quest to make my fantasy a reality and most of us are doing the same. 

I kept my heart where it wanted to be till mid 2017 but now it is without any enthusiastic support. Is not the heart a powerhouse??

I need one more attempt into one more thing in which I am interested in. It is like a second marriage but need to ignite the fire and keep the fire from all other wind and air.

I came to Chennai on 17th June 2015 and spent first few months in guest house. Chennai is 400 year old city established near shore.....I sometimes wonder why Britishers came all the way round through cyleon to Chennai.

Most daring challange in chennai is to find a house....first you have to be Polite with land lord which means remove shoes while entering, make yourself extra humble. Then tell them your religion and caste......veg/non-veg status.....batchlers are allowed in limited places

and most important


when you stuck the deal pay a hefty deposit which is 10 months of rent which will remain a house lord disposal and topping is that no claim to interest to that amount will be entertained.


So if you finalise a house with a rent of 25000/month then deposit will be 2 lakh 50 thousand.


Apart from this....'don't keep light on it increase the bill'.......'kindly check the taps whether they are cosed'.....their fridge and AC are decade old and need gas filling and maintenance every 6 month..!!!!


I had a room with attached lat-bath for 24000/month and 75000 deposit (well because it was not flat on rent but a PG). Apart from this there was continuous watch on whether I am keeping the light on (because she pays the bill), or if I need to wash my cloths then.....10 cloths only my machine is very vulnerable.....


Second I had a flat with landlady in Gandhi Nagar.....had a habit to barge into my house unannounced.....with whom it was very difficult to have a talk because she won't let me speak.....lastly fought with me because she wanted to raise the rent without telling me that 'I am raising the rent' (probably because she herself knew that the demand is not fair) with telling me that 'rent agreement will be renewed with new conditions. 


Next I came across the most wonderful landlord....asking every months about your well being and no poking, no checking, not suspicious. Well he is a professor and a good one.


So I had mixed experience.....not that mix that I can't distinguish now....can you??


2 bad experiences with land'ladies' while good experience with land'lords'. Always deal with men :-)


Beach


my first visit after 7 months of stay in Chennai......cos I am lazy and least interested in outside world...


The marina is longest in Asia and Basant is clean named after social reformer Any Basant.


Kovalam is far but a cleaner and worth visiting.


But the one place where you should go while staying in Tamil Nadu is temples. They are all stones and all decorated with carvings.


After I started working for oil and gas industry I had a feeling a continuous anxiety-which stops me to do anything-and push me to do everything- like I am loosing time for something big meanwhile lost time for something small.



But counter to its surprise after visiting these magnanimous monuments I am getting more peaceful.

Its like when you are standing at a peak and the noise flow out of your ears. You walk like you are floating.

So the point is that I am getting out of myself and getting into my self. The self is important is not it?

People and food


People of chennai are straightforward, cunning, very helpful, bright, jolly, caring etc. Basically people are like people they are same everywhere in this world.


I have met a auto driver who left his INR 50 to me since there was no ATM nearby at 3 AM in morning.....and I met a texi driver who hit his own car with his fist because I refused to pay in cash when its already paid though card added to UBER payment method


For non Indian........who want to see Indian tamples like taj-mahal.......who think that snake charmers are born and brought up in india as a special breed


For north Indian.....who want to check the conservative south society.......who think that south land is sacred......


................visit the place to know right....you know nothing....


Penance is the way of life and people wake up at 3:30.....Penance done in right way can develop potential......you can see wrong way here.


Food is to fill stomach not to fulfil desire.....


Air and Water


The place is hot and there is only one season here.....summer......until occurrence of climate change start showing.


specifically like the morning 6:30 and evening same time breeze which is cold and refreshing.


Depending on places you may find hard water, muddy water, no water.


Must visit Rameshwaram, Tirupati, Ooty....


DOORS


The door of Tamil Nadu was shut and noone was allowed to enter....but in my opinion the outside force have bulge and cracked the doors inwards.....while people are unwilling to undone the bulge and cracks


In my opinion Tamil Nadu should in view of eventuality open the doors wide........and let all the penance till date start delivering fruits ad flowers.
