Life in Chennai

This post that I am going to write is not a travel trip. It is going to be strictly for those who are going to come Chennai for a living and plotted according to my experiences.

life in chennai

Chennai is the city which has fascinated me with its travel mode all around to important places. Train route is possible for the major places. While one can go to important places in AC metro buses and good deluxe buses, there is a bus always from anywhere to anywhere. The only thing that irritates me is the negligible buses after 10 in the night.

Yes, Chennai doesn’t have a night life. It halts mostly after 10 in the night. But I am having a good weekends (day time I mean) with malls, beaches, temples, cricket and sleep in home. Though it is sultry in the days with high humidity you can get coconuts all around to quench the thirst and beat the heat (at nominal prices).

Autos are the nightmare (as it can be in any city). It is quite tough to bargain with them. They normally mocked me when I bargained. I know the distance and made a stern argument in that broken Tamil (I am a Telugu by language) and if not I will be looted in broad day light.
I have travelled to T-nagar and triplicane at the rush hours for shopping. While shopping can be the best and cheapest at these places, the rush will make you feel as if you are in some grinder. Everything is available here at very nominal prices. From shirts to shampoo, cosmetics to culinary, gold-items to gold-imitation, everything is available. Coconut at this place cost me ₹20 while at any place in Chennai is ₹40.

Kanchipuram, a devotional Hindu place for the worship a powerful goddess is very near and it takes only ₹30 fare (a distance of 100 km). So when it has to be somewhere out, this is the best in budget. Of course Pondicherry (a place famous for cheaper booze and many other things) is close I preferred Kanchipuram with my parents. You can also visit Mahabalipuram where is next best place to go out on weekends. The link takes you why and what it is famous about.


My overall experience in Chennai was good and there was nothing disappointing to me. I wouldn’t say that Chennai was cheap but good that it is not costly. There was nothing complex to me. So smooth sailing so far. Waiting for more experiences…

Trip to narsipura Sri Vaidya Narayana murthy - Shimago for cancer treatment

Hi friends. I would like to share my experience about my trip to Shimago and meet Guru Narayana murthy who would treat for cancer, diabetics, kidney diseases. My brother was diagnosed with rectal cancer on October 2014. The news of cancer to a young boy of 26 years shook our whole family. But we are strong as he was getting treatment from world class care clinic in Cleveland - Cleveland clinic, Ohio, USA. As fate had other plans, his cancer came in January, 2017 back after an extensive surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The doctors made a decision to keep him in hospice care: support for advanced illness. They said that there is no more treatment and only to keep him comfortable as long as he lives, we lost our hopes and that is when we thought of giving a try to Ayurvedic medicine. We found Guruji narasipura narayana murthy. His medicine gave us hopes and I recently went to narsipura to get the medicine. I thought it would be best to give my share of experience in reaching the

Solution to "child margin affects parent" in CSS

The browser implementation is that when the parent has no content and the child requests for margin, the parent is brought down instead of child going down. The solution for these are listed below with their side effects. floats , You  have  to float elements border-top , This pushes the parent at least 1px downwards which should then be adjusted with introducing  -1px  margin to the parent element itself. This can create problems when parent already has  margin-top  in relative units. padding-top , same effect as using  border-top overflow: hidden , Can't be used when parent should display overflowing content, like a drop down menu overflow: auto , Introduces scrollbars for parent element that has (intentionally) overflowing content (like shadows or tool tip's triangle) See the Pen Relative with Margin by Manikanta ( @immnk ) on CodePen .

Redirection in javascript

How Page Re-direction works ? Example 1: This is very simple to do a page redirect using JavaScript at client side. To redirect your site visitors to a new page, you just need to add a line in your head section as follows: <head> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- window.location="http://www.newlocation.com"; --> </script> </head> To understand it in better way you can  Try it yourself . Example 2: You can show an appropriate message to your site visitors before redirecting them to a new page. This would need a bit time delay to load a new page. Following is the simple example to implement the same: <head> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function Redirect() { window.location="http://www.newlocation.com"; } document.write("You will be redirected to main page in 10 sec."); setTimeout('Redirect()', 10000); //--> </script> </head> Here
