Do visit Chennai if you have the time, apart from the fact that people will not be speaking Hindi, you will find a great balance between tranquility and the bustle of a city life. Dont think i am promoting Chennai in anyway; for all the slack it gets from people outside, the city does balance on a bit of tradition and progressive lifestyle! That said, i guess we are a small fraction that love life the simple way, ask a <i>pukka</i> mumbaiite and am sure we'll get a <i>hajaar</i> reasons to be in Mumbai.Dilip Ananthanarayananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04825237848642940891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24685636.post-59694472755538293542009-07-18T21:14:51.180-07:002009-07-18T21:14:51.180-07:00Awesome post, dude! Echoes my feelings totally!
F...Awesome post, dude! Echoes my feelings totally! <br />For me the journey has been Raipur -> Gandhinagar -> Mysore -> Pune (you saw that we loved in the <i>middle of nowhere</i> there!) -> Ghaziabad! And believe me, whenever I'm in a big city, I can't seem to keep up with the pace of life there... no wonder I'd rather see myself happily settled in a small city or a town :) But then I'm sure I'll crib when I miss those occasional outings to the malls and multiplexes :p<br />The returns of living in a small city, as you've put it, seem so appealing! I agree that the smaller cities more or less remain the same for a long time, but they're losing their charm slowly... it was culture shock in slow motion when Raipur became the capital city of Chhattisgarh! I wonder how many more small cities are going to lose their <i>virginity</i> this way...<br /><br />Liked the entire post but liked the following line the best:<br /><i>I think its better to strip down on your Monetary ambitions if you get happiness in exchange</i>Smartalechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568978385587285754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24685636.post-89907023630030713462008-12-23T02:18:00.000-08:002008-12-23T02:18:00.000-08:00haan yaar .. kabhi kabhi lagta hai sab chhodh chha...haan yaar .. kabhi kabhi lagta hai sab chhodh chhadh ke kahin chote se hill station par ek ghar bana lo :) .. chalo lets see ..huh !https://www.blogger.com/profile/13895589615957018336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24685636.post-63795090865037639072007-12-03T19:54:00.000-08:002007-12-03T19:54:00.000-08:00wow! you make it sound so poetic, but town life ha...wow! <BR/>you make it sound so poetic, but town life has its own problems, like poor administration, orthodox line of thinking, people being averse to change.<BR/><BR/>Point being, you need to adapt wherever you go.
