I come from Vellore. Been living here for 4 yeras though and I love the way the city has grown up on me. There is something so earthy abt being down south that i can never experience in any other part of the country. The temples, the language, the food...and the unpretentiousness of it all.... <em>Oh absolutely! It's home like no other place can be.</em> Chennai is’nt my home town. I come from Vellore.

I remember not wanting to flag an auto in my college days for similar reasons :) I can imagine the excitement of going by a bus after all those years :) And cities do change, I feel this way when I visit my parents too. The new theme is neat! I like it. <em>Thanks! :-)</em> Lovely post.

Been a bit out of touch lately! @Annkur: Love that poem! @vishvak saen: Thanks! And this definitely is home, its bad reputation notwithstanding. @Praveen: I was inspired by the Lonely Planet post by Krishashok...he is one of my favourite bloggers! @Neethi: Welcome! @Vig: I agree about the flyovers. Although I still find them an eyesore! Cost of development I suppose? Sorry for the delayed responses! Been a bit out of touch lately!

I'm happy the over-bridges do their parts to help manage the traffic that's becoming worse by the day! Great post! Helped refresh good 'ol school days. :) Well the city is changing with changing times. I’m happy the over-bridges do their parts to help manage the traffic that’s becoming worse by the day!

Yes, I too lived in the Madras of yesteryears and was upset at the name change and continued to live in the Chennai of today till a few years back. No other city has given me a sense of homecoming as Chennai has. I loved the instances you pointed out. I am always amazed by how Madras changes.
