Chennai or Madras is getting a metro of its own so the construction activity is everywhere. We had a nice ride to the hotel in Egmore from the airport, except for the fact that the semi-blind taxi driver nearly rammed the car straight into a police barricade!
Egmore is a pretty charming locality and the beautiful St Andrew’s Church is a landmark that stands out. The lovely church built by the Scots in the 19th century in a compound with well-manicured lawns is in contrast to the area outside the Egmore station, with its usual smell of urine and homeless people.
Madras is an early to rise city, where you get the newspaper delivered at 5:30 am! When I went out to take a few pics, I noticed that people were already on the move and on their way to work. And the rotting smells and stench were overpowered by the pleasant scent of flowers that the women wore on their hair.
