2011 Chennai trip - so far so good

• Makkal TV started telecasting movies, however with (useful) messages such as "inda padathin nayakan periyaar puththagangalai padippaar"
• There are commercials for diapers, baby wet wipes and ellipticals which I had not seen last year
• TV commercials also need a (good-for-nothing) censor board.  Some of them solely depend upon the model(woman)'s level of exposure
• There are apartments everywhere, every family owns a car and every road is flooded with them
• It is either upper middle class family or poor family, there is no "Middle class family"
• Velachery and Chromepet will soon be substitutes of TNagar
• There are overbridges in almost every major junction
• There was enough space between vehicles at Panagal park on India-Pakistan quarterfinals of world cup 2011; I wish I were there to witness the situation on the day of finals :)
• Most women wear Capri perhaps to beat the heat
• Saw at least 5 obese people in the last 10 days
• Extravaganza in shows like super singer makes it unworthy to watch.  Contestants wear clothes that are worn by only the heroines of kollywood; dont quite understand how the parents give a nod
• It is just mid-April and could not sustain the heat waves
• Indian markets have everything that is available outside India
