Well Jenz, things are much better now. I remember the millennium new year and in WestMambalam after 8:00pm itself the roads looked so deserted. But when it comes to early rising no body in chennai can beat Westmambalam. I have come from office shifts at 3:30am-4:00am and will quite a few people go for their morning walks only in West Mambalam and in the AshokNagar road near the Blue Tank
