I for one person is born and brought up in Chennai and I'm totally in love with this place. Be it shopping in T.Nagar/Spencers/Citi Center , The Saravana Bhavans that i'm always faithful to thou' how many ever eateries come by, The Beach, ECR and ofcourse Anna nagar(which was once a quiet residential place is now buzzling with activities) and Kilpauk where I spent all my child hood. In connection with the Madras/Chennai Day celebrations a lot of events and competitions have been planned including heritage walks and nature walks , quiz competitions and a lot more.

It is my love for Chennai that I started to blog about it. I know I'm not being all that regular. But, starting on Chennai's 369th bday I'm planning to write a weekly column called 'The food Factor' on every Friday starting next week in which I will be sharing my experiences in the various eatries in and around the city.
