When I decided to move to Chennai, I heard various things about the city. There are only three seasons in the city: Hot, hotter and hottest. People are snobs and speak only Tamil even if they know other languages. It's so much polluted and on and on. I have been in Chennai for the last one week. Even though I have stayed only in a company-provided business class hotel, I can say I have got an idea of the city since I have been moving around to locate an appropriate house. There are all sorts of people in here: From Nagpur to Patna. And yes most local people speak only in Tamil and that is because they don't know any other north Indian language. If you know English and are willing to communicate, you can find your way around the city. Pollution levels are like any other cities and after all it's not as bad as it is portrayed to be. People, local people, also go out of their ways to help someone new to the city.
After all it's a country called India.
