WRONG WITH CHENNAI

Somehow these problems with Chennai never seem to quit.

Autorickshaws are a curse on this city. Everything is wrong with them. Not only do they charge astronomical fares but there are also several vices associated with them. Standing at their stand and passing comments on people and gossiping for one. I hear they remove the sound deadner in their silencers so that they may save marginally on petrol consumption, but making the motor noicy so as to balst off the peoples ear drums. Strange, they have been living and spoiling the environment with impunity.

There is hardly a good restaurant in Chennai which is good in quality and reasonably prices. Some of the common food items such as idlis and dosas are exorbitantly priced and they defy all the economic theory. The ktichens are not neatly maintained but charged. Either there are street end dingy restaurants such as parotta stalls or costly restaurants such as Annalakshmi,Saravana Bhavan and Adyar Ananda Bhavan.

Talking of Saravana Bhavan, in my opinion, they are the root cause for spoiling the eateries scene in Tamil Nadu. In the name of taking care of their employees, they are fleecing the public. The quality they maintain is only superficial. Other restaurants do not even maintain the this quality but strangely charge almost equal to Saravana Bhavan. This can happen only in Chennai.

People here still flock to such restaurants; engage these autorickshaws without restraint; vote for parties who profess populist measures but do not govern well. Really, I am not able to understand these people.

Apollo Hospitals, which is hailed as a pioneer of Corporate hospital concept is actually the culprit who has spoiled the Health scene in this country. The practice started by them put and end to the family doctor concept, made medical treatment very expensive beyond the reach of common people. They made the doctors greedy. The medical system was made very complicated, not made world-class. This kind of Medical System is not at all suitable to our Country.

Educational Institutions are surviving at Chennai only because there is a good demand. But the system is far from honest in providing the vision that is mentioned on the prospectus of every college here. Not only are the fees are highly unreasonable, mostly the teaching community too are not sincere.
