YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM CHENNAI WHEN...

1) When the sound of the saavu koothu (Dead body dance) just evokes you from the inside and all you wanna do is join the kuthu on the street!
2) When something goes wrong, you say aiyeyo instead of ‘omg’!
3) You know the tagline for narasoos coffee!! :D Say it with me!! ‘besh besh, rumba nanna irruku’
4) You’ve had a date on marina beach, over a plate of bajjis with slightly discoloured chutney on the side :D (u know u’ve been through that!!)

6) On finding an auto with a working meter your jaw hits the floor
7) You know what Ranganathan Street is like on a Saturday evening
8) You’ve gotten up to the sounds of a man yelling ‘Plaaaeestic saamane’!! Or a particularly deep voiced man shouting ‘Paaaepaaaaar... Paaaepaaaar’!
9) You know what it feels like to have ridden/driven down ECR in the dead of the night (Thanks Kitty Cat)
