Chennai


Those who are not aware "I'm in Chennai now, till when IDK" . I know what you all will be thinking what the HELL I'm doing here. Trust me minimum 25 people asked me the same Q and I'm done answering, to few I say "long story", few folks I've to explain. As the matter of fact I choose Chennai as my first joining preference, ok!!! I'm working in Accenture as ASE.
First day in Chennai, I got down at CMBT, it’s a bus hub, from there I've to reach sholinganallur, OMR. So as a tourist I asked one security guard for an enquiry counter, as to be generous to me, He asked "kaha jana hai"
I showed him the address which I've had already saved in my cell phone. He pointed out the bus for me, as a dumbass I couldn't able to figure out which bus that is, so he escorted me to that bus. I felt that Chennai, people are not bad as people told me before.
Conductor!!!!!!!!!! I might forget security guard, who was very generous to me, but not this conductor. Firstly he asked me 100 bucks, for me and my luggage when the actual ticket was 19Rs for me, and 19Rs for my luggage. After some negotiation with him  he gave me two tickets for the same i.e. 28Rs. I gave him 100Rs note and he wrote the remaining at the back of the ticket and asked me to collect rest of the money after 30mins. I thought its fine. I asked him to drop me at my address, he smiled as to make me feel home and very politely he said "theek hai".
After half and hour I went to him and asked "tell me when it come", he said "ok"!!! Then I asked for the remaining money, he gave me 50bucks, I asked for more he told something " personal …………………………….." I strictly asked for  more, then he gave me 12Rs more, while leaving I told him to drop me at my address, he told rudely I don't know your address!!!!!!!
What the HELL man?
Was it all about money?
Was that smile was to overcharge me?
Was that polite replies was to make me fool?
One side that security guard who without any personal interest of his own escorted me to my bus and here this conductor, from my boarding till I got down was only thinking how to overcharge me, make me fool.
No state you can say is bad, its more like every state has two kind of people, all you have to do is to avoid bad people and survive with generous people.
Over all I'm liking this place, for those who told me it 'll be tough to survive here, for those, its not tough all you have to do is to adjust and start having positive attitude. :)
