Madras to Chennai

After several long years I visited Madras .

The difference or the so called development is quite amazing! Old familiar buildings are not to be seen or have lost themselves in the new jungle that has grown around them! Roads have become bigger and smarter, but then you can't see or appreciate it in the traffic congestion!

For the foodies it is a delight with everything on offer, naturally at a price.

It is a Shopper's paradise as well, but not the kind that was Moore Market of yester years !

The new bus station is a sight , by its vastness, the crowds and the chaos . But buses run and run well.

The well behaved reasonably priced auto with the meter has made way for the pushy and arrogant " pay what I ask OR ELSE " breed of goons!

The transformation from Madras to Chennai is to be experienced to believe!
