More Chennai Photos

Some more photos



Best laundry rack I've ever had



Entrain or detrain... Is that like Introit and detroit from a religious service?


Corruption eh? I wonder if they've seen the train stations around here.



This is VinodKumar. He is the Telugu boy to whom I was showing the wonders of the interwebs. He was writing my name in Telugu.


Part of my daily commute!



A missing boy. This poster is describing his family and his age. I was surpringly able to read about half of it. It's a real shame though, this city is so big and almost everyone without money goes completely unnoticed.



The Corndog tree. If only corndogs really grew on trees. My friend mike says he's be johny corndog seed, going up and down the east coast planting corndog trees if it were!



Here is a huge icon for chennai's small by percentage, but large by numbers christian community. They truly believe St. Thomas (doubting thomas) is buried here.



The preferred method of eating: Just dig right in. No need for utensils. This is why they take that whole, 'use your right hand only' thing so seriously. More on that in another post on Indian methodology.



The political party: DMK is the political party started to prevent hindi from becoming the national language. Tamils are very proud of their language and culture and it is very different from the hindustanis in the north. Check out these links
DMK wiki, DMK india, and DMK in tamil



The huge I.T. center: It's sort of staggering to see how huge this place really is. It also guarantees the slums close by. Interesting combination.
