My stint at Chennai has been since my birth. Having completed 34 years in Chennai, I can call myself an hardcore Chennaite.
I lived in the suburban areas of chennai during my schooling and then moved on live in more elite areas of the city. Presently put up at Besant Nagar. Hence, have a fairly good understanding about the relative postition of the city vs suburbs.
No matter what part of the city you live in, no matter even if many consider its just a grown-up village.
It is Namma Chennai - a beloved place to live in.
