Chennai it is...compared to it was - Part 2

Local transportation in chennai are called as Madras transportation corporation (MTC) is renowned for its magnificent service, foot board travelling ie., you stand on the steps of the bus when it is moving, conductors giving saliva stricken tickets by tearing/punching with their fingers...but now with the beautification of MTC we can see colorful buses like white line, orange line, deluxe service, point to point, new vestibule buses with LCD, Tata Marcopolo (not the liquor please!!) buses, Volvo buses plying throughout the city, but its quite pathetic that some of the buses are full of dust, poorly maintained, roaring like strepsils needed lion, rain water enters inside the bus and makes the seats really cool !!! The most interesting thing is that all the bus conductors are equipped with a new hand held ticketing machines!No more tearing !!!No foot board!!!Overall the MTC has improved from the past and compared to other states but it needs to be maintained properly..that's the point!!!



Gone are the days of Alsa mall,Prince plaza it's all been renewed to names like Amba Skywalk, City center, Express avenue mall with its multiplex, IMAX, KFCs, McDs...etc

One sunday evening, as we ventured into the newly built Amba skywalk which is quite famous for been the shooting spot for tamil movies these days, heavy traffic right from the entrance of Nelson Manickam road where it is located, parking for the shopping mall was full and the three security men don't know what to do for the lined up cars waiting in the entrance, interrupted by the autos dropping there passengers. As we entered into the mall, we felt that this place is very small for the amount of crowd it had on that day, when we decided to start from the basement we experienced the floor was like the crowd in Tirmala Tirupati Devastanam, jam packed in all the sections.Long queue in the billing section too...then came to the ground floor where you can spot KFC and McDonald, been in malaysia where you can spot KFC at every hook and corner but no vegetarian dishes, quite thrilled to see the vegetarian menus, shocked to see mami's in the pub chairs inside KFC(look at the photo) and enjoying the burgers!!!

WoW !!!

Chennai has really changed!!!
