Its been more than 2 years that i am in chennai. Being a delhi born n bred girl, I have always found it hard to survive in a city like chennai.
Why is it so difficult, afterall it is one of the BIG Metro city!??!
Hello....???! Ask ME!!!
One: The slow pace, Two: Self centered - Ego cententric people, Three: The climate, Four: Shortage of Shopping centers, Five: The horrible-HORRIBLE Auto Drivers..... and the list goes on!
Why the Slow Pace??
Coz' driving in chennai roads is a patience-testing experience!! Even if the whole road ahead is empty, people dont move beyond the 30KM/Hour speed limit!!! Helloooo???!! On top of it, they drive in the middle of the road. YOU HONK-HONK, still they will not bother to give you a side!!!
Thats my slow pace problem!!
Why Self centered-ego centeric people...??
O Yeah...! Coz' i find most of the people with too much pride to be down to earth. Never seen anyone making a joke on himself and giving his companion a good laugh. Come to think of laugh, rarely seen anyone having a hearty laugh around here. Provided they are not drunk!! Only drunkards have a good laugh here!! Normal people like me are not supposed to be having a fun time. Being happy and gay is something to be frowned upon!
Now comes the Climate!! The lesser said the better...Coz' already a lot has been said about it.
Will move on to other problems!!
Shortage of Shopping centers...!! The few Malls around, are toooooo crowded to step-in. Even on a Monday Morning, you can find lotsa people wandering around. And the climate makes it too difficult to shop in any non-conditioned shopping places like T. Nagar. Now dont get any ideas, they too are over crowded with no parking place after like 10A.M....!!! So chennai is in desperate need for places to hang-out and shop!
Now comes the worst-worst-est problem in chennai....!! AUTOS and AUTO-DRIVERS. They the worst kind of breed any human can evolve to....!Mean, rude, M*****R F******G B*****Ds!!!!!
Cant the Govt. just throw these autos along with their drivers off the streets!! Plssss.....We would rather walk than take an auto!! Coz' they are a nuisance to people who drive vehicles around them and nuisance to people sitting inside one of them. Not only they ask outrageous sums of money for a ride, they are foul-mouthed too. The moment you refuse to pay their desired amount, they will spit some shit on you and move on. Hate 'em. Hate 'em. One and ALL!
There are many more problems in the city i Live-in.
Just Live-in.... Dont belong here. Dont own here. Nothing beyond the present.
Hopefully chennai will become a better city.
Or may be i will get used to its ways!!
Hey chennaiites dont get all worked-up, there are a lot of good things too.
May be i will explore that in the next post.
Today i am in a mood to just crib my time away!!!

My Name Is Priya
Recently i watched a movie 'My Name is Khan'. Just coz' i like Shahrukh Khan.
But in a way, to me, it was thought provoking.
The way a Human being is treated just becoz' of his religion. Not by his virtues.
Why?
I just felt that humanity is divided.
Why have we divided humanity into religion, caste, sub-caste, creed, race and what not.
Can't we just divide them by sex....A Male and a female. That's what God intended to do.
That's why He made a Male version of a human and a Female version.
Period.
And wasn't a 'Name' just enough to identify a human being.
I don't like being religious. I don't like slotting people as per their religion or caste.
I would rather like or dislike them by their behaviour, by their thoughts and by their personalities.
What if i was just 'Priya'...not a Hindu...not a Pillai.
Had i been any different if i was a Christian or a Muslim or a Jew or a Sikh or anyone!
My name might not have been 'Priya'.
But I had still been me...!
My Name is 'Priya' and I am just a Human Being.

Our luck with pets
I am not much of an animal lover. My child is.
From the time he was just a baby in the cradle, he is fascinated by animals.
Anything from a small ant to an elephant bring joy to his bearings. As you all know, you can easily find all sorts of animals on Indian roads. The more visible are the Cows, pigs, dogs, cats, mouses, hens, cocks, goats and horses. The less visible ones are elephants, sheeps, monkeys and camels.
For more information, watch ANIMAL PLANET.
Afterall, Why should i be the only one who is made to watch Animal Planet day in - day out?
My son terrorises me by not taking in a morsel of food without Animal planet.
More than often, i also end up eating my food, watching a bunch of lions tearing apart a deer!
So for more info about any type of animal and their habits, Contact me!
But when it comes to taking in a living thing as a pet, me and my kid turned out to be losers!
First i kept a few plants, all of them died within a month.
Second i got my kid two gold fish, both of them died in 15 days.
Next i got 2 parrots, they both flew away in a week's time from the cage.
This year am planning to gift my kid, a Dog for his b'day.
O' this time i really hope our luck changes towards our pets!

Truly yours
Its great to recieve some response to my blogs.... i thought nobody visits them. So thats the reason why i had poured down all my true thoughts. Had i known that someone's going to read them, i might not have been so down to earth...hmm...more like down the drain type! he he...
i might have typed down some cheerful stuff...some really crazy things i have 'not done'... projecting as 'done'. dilli waali hoon akhir...!! :))
Afterall, life is all about meeting new people, experiencing new dimensions, going beyond your limits. May be there will be time for me to do all that. Right now i am just a mommy, who is engrossed in taking care of a child, bringing him up to be a good citizen of a country i truly love.
