Chennai discussions II

[vs007]

Blame the Chennai auto drivers or point out the lack of drainage in the city and the resulting stink and filth, why the sudden stream of defenders starts attacking the messenger?

In Calcatta, you will have to go in first auto in the queue. No negotiation possible. That is what Union will do. In Chennai Central entrance, you can negotiate with Auto driver. If he does not budge, you can freely go to another driver and negotiate again. You get multiple option here. Now a days you have fastrack counters which gives you metered Taxis. There is no Union here. PLease try to understand how union behaves. In kerala , you can't carry you own baggages. Union will come and demand money for that too. Chennai Auto drivers are more capitalistic that way. For a long time Meru taxi's were not allowed in Bangalore city station. Only one year back they started going to station.

Even now meru taxis are not allowed in Bangalore city station.We have to get down on the road outside the station quickly before the traffic police spots the vehicle to challan

South Africa today proposed to set up its second consul office in Chennai,

Next in line like that of the Chinese counterparts....

Hope in near future these consuls gets materialized and it will also bring direct flight service to Johanesburg and Shanghai or Guangzhou in future because of increasing trade relation!!

Do we have consul office for Indonesia?? For long time Garuda Airlines wants to start service to Medan from Chennai.

b/w I agree consul office and air link are not related, but consul office will be added advantage to bring air link these countries from Chennai.

People drink tea/coffee for several hundred rupees in certain coffee shops. IMO that is outrageous than the branded SB Coffee for Rs 27 which is a class in itself.

It is not only for coffee. Kadalai poda charges, meeting charges, AC charges all inclusive. Most of us spend a few hours to drink one or two cups of coffee. Adhula Heart padam vera pottu koduppainga

SB la Coffe kudichu mudikkaradhukkulle pinnale othar vandhu viduvar. I have seen almost Musical Chair like tamasha in T Nagar SB.

[murlee]

Yes.. We do have honorary consulate of Indonesia in Nungambakkam

[karkal]

True. You get to play free musical chair in T.Nagar SB.

Any plans for SB to start independent Coffee Shops to take on likes of Star Bucks.

I have a feeling the local SB will clean up the international SB.

In that case Central is lesser unionised than Bangalore. In central you got counter for fasttrack taxi service and they pick up at central itself. Same with drop too. Bangalore Auto unions don't allow meru inside railway stations.

I have seen people standing in queue at Bangalore MTR, Lalbagh Fort Main Road near Oorvasi Theatre.

The servers would treat the clients like dirt but still they would stand in queue patiently to drink coffee every day morning & evening.

+1 Agree. Lot of great local players.

This is the land of coffee, its sad that none of our local companies are making a larger local and international play in this lifestyle coffee business.

Peters Road SB is not like others. It is branded as Saravana's Swathi restaurent. It is a high end restaurent. Even bearer's dressing also richer apart from silver cutleries.
In the same building, ground floor they have a Darshini version of SB. There you'll get normal priced food , but you have to stand and eat like Blr Darshinis.

what an idea sir ji! you are 100% right.
In thanjavur, shanthi lassi shop started offering "kalkandu pal"(panangh kalkandu) after 8 pm. so from morning to evening, they will sell lassi and evening "Pal". this has became huge hit. so in all main streets, lot of small "kalkandu" pal shop has come.

Arul: i dont think so...
I lived in Bangalore for 4 years. the quality of coffee near small petty shop in JayaNagar, Airport road and MTR will be same. but rest in all other places it differs.
I have been to MTR for lunch many times. we need to sit patiently. i did not see any poor behavior of those waiters..

Ashok Pillar SB try pannunga sir..only problem is parking..

[krishnaswamy]

None of the Governments or Police officials has guts to regularize auto services, auto unions in all the cities. because either they themselves have 100 autos...police officials have autos in their benamy..
In chennai, instead of auto, its better to take fasttrack..

Space Matrix is also doing architecture, master planning and infrastructure design for the Central University of Tamil Nadu. “It is a 517 acre campus and we won the bid which should fetch us about Rs 4-5 crore per project,” Srivastava said. “India contributes 50-60 per cent of the revenues and in last financial year, we clocked a turnover of Rs 360 crore,” Srivastava said. He said the firm was targeting 25-30 per cent growth in the next four years
