Chennai and Bangalore days....

Bangalore is some how attached to me and it has a major role in my life. After completing my college days, i have started my job seeking here. But i got a job in Noida and then transferred to chennai. I was there in Chennai for the past 5 years. In this course of time, i happen to visit bangalore to see my school friends and for some gettogether. I always fond of staying in Bangalore because of the climate.

Here i would like to share few things and also like to compare the life style in Chennai and Bangalore.

In Chennai, We could get cheap commutation. But it is gradually chaning now by the introduction of airbuses and deluxe buses. I feel there is no difference in these buses except the ticket rate. Here in bangalore, they are not having cheap commutation, but the cost of ticket suits for the facilities and stoppings of the buses. Some times we could find the conductors looting money from passengers with out providing ticket. We could not see such things in Chennai.

Auto-Rickshaw charges are comparitively low in Bangalore. In Chennai, i have faced situations like auto drivers are treating customers inhuman. They used to demand double or triple the rate.

In Bangalore, we could see lot of restaurants in all economical ranges. Earlier chennai was also like that only. But now-a-days it is gradually changing and becoming affordable for two groups. The two groups are High class or Low class. Middleclass people are suffering in Chennai and they need to adopt to any of the two groups. But their economical or health condition do not suit for that.

Bangalore city is trying to avoid traffic by improving its infrastructure. We could see lot of flyovers in main areas and junctions. They have build a 8.3km flyover to electronic city in a span of 18 months. But in chennai they are taking 5 years to build Kathipara Junction even chennai traffic is not dense like Bangalore.

Comparing the house rents in both cities, the ranges are same. We could get 1BHK in the range of Rs.5000 to Rs.6000 (It is very costly). In bangalore, we could get the facilities based on the rent we are giving. In Chennai, even we are ready to give, they will not provide any good facilities.

It feels like i am supporting Bangalore in many ways. But I could conclude that in both cities cost of living is getting higher. In Bangalore atleast we could get back things for the money we are spending. But in Chennai, we cant expect the same.

I feel the main reason behind for all this is dumping all the companies, factories and plants in and around chennai. Thats why the diameter of Chennai is growing and also the cost (Even Dindivanam has become part of Chennai now). Government should take measures to avoid this and they need to develop the infrastructure of other cities in Tamil Nadu. TN Government should also concentrate on the development of cities like Trichy, Coimbatore, Trinelveli and Madurai.

TN government is trying to make Chennai as the automobile hub of India in near future. But, I feel proud to say Tamil Nadu as the Automobile Hub of India instead of Chennai.
