Some random things about Chennai that I have experienced till now:

1. The first question people ask at Irevna: "Are you a CA or an MBA?" My answer: "Neither"

2. The first thing one must learn in Chennai: To decipher whether the ambiguous shaking of the head means a "YES" or a "NO"

3. What one must be prepared for: A Rs. 50 roller-coaster ride everyday on the Chennai auto!

4. House hunting flowchart:
i "Are you a bachelor or a family?" If answer = "Bachelor" Then "Sorry, look for another house"
ii. "Are you a vegetarian or non-vegetarian?" If answer = "Non-vegetarian" Then "Sorry, look for another house"
iii. "Are you a Tamil brahmin?" If answer = "No" Then "Sorry, look for another house"

5. The reason auto drivers give to fleece you: Recent hike in petrol prices (whether or not prices have been raised!)

6. Places to visit in Chennai: None

7. 35%: The percentage of Irevna staff that hails from Calcutta

8. 10,000: The number of people at the 8-floor Sarvana Stores on Saturday at any point in time
