  My favorite was 27E (went thru Arts College, Ethiraj, WCC, Goodshi). Ore dhoolthan!
  
  Humor aside, in the last 11 years that I have been out of Madras (yes, I prefer Madras to Chennai, since that was the name of the city when I grew up), it has changed for worse. It is a lot more congested, the roads have gone from bad to worse, the new green flyovers are an eyesore, not to mention being bottlenecks and a danger to pedestrians on side streets.
  
  Yes, the good and bad aspects of globalization are showing in Madras. We have Pizza Hut in every corner and a Pizza Corner near every hut. I like to hang out at Coffee Day and also Lifestyle on TTK road. I didnt like Globus that much.
  
  But these very changes have stolen the essence of what was once Madras. These days, it is not as much hanging out at Safire and Blue Diamond (they aren't there anymore) or watching Shobana ravi or Sandhya Rajagopalan (used to adore both of them).a Or watching "Vanna Kolangal" or "Nalladhor veenai". Or eagerly waiting for Friday's Oliyum Oliyum. TV is saturated that one doesn't feel like watching it anymore.
  
  Plus Tamil movies have lost their Tamil identity in my opinion. The dance sequences could befit a Punjabi movie. Even Kamalahaasan's comedy has become too slapstick in my opinion. The finesse of hits like Raajapaarvai and Salangai Oli are lost on him. Too bad, too sad.
