Mumbai Vs Chennai

God blessed me to spend my vacation at Lonavala and Mumbai.
My observation about Mumbai and my city Chennai.

1. Mumbai has better roads and fly over. If Mumbaities do not spit all along the place, Mumbai can be beautiful city in the world.

Chennai will have better roads by 2020 only, but there should not be rain during this period. In Chennai, people never spit on the road. but they answer nature's call only.

2. Taxi rate can be displayed at the entrance of Airport, so new visitor will not be cheated by few greedy taxi drivers. [Normally drivers charge as per the rate card].
In Chennai, What the hell the government is doing? No driver follows the meter.

3. Almost all the vehicles follow traffic rules. Chennai people are very bad in this. In Chennai, people will cross as they like without bothering about you. If you hit them, you are finished. You cannot blame them even if you are right. They have every right to cross the road neglecting signals. You should not.

4. In Mumbai, Thuppatta is costly. So most of the girls do not wear them. Small colorless t-shirts are cheaper. So most of the girls wear these dresses only.
Chennai girls are far better. They have decent dress sensing.
( I mean south Indian girls only)

5. If you order for Chapapthi, you will get plain dry chapathi only. For Chapathi worth of 2.50 , you have to order Rs.20 / 35 worth of channa or dal.
In Chennai for Rs.10/12/15, you will get tasty chappthy with two or three side dishes.

6. In common in both the places people help visitors.

7. In Chennai, language is not a problem at all. In Mumbai, they speak only in Hindi.
Even the bus numbers/ bus tickets are in Hindi only.

8. If you order for steam rice, to surprise, you will get basmati rice in Mumbai. Normally it costs Rs 23 or 25 only.
In chennai, you will not get basmati rice even in sangeetha / Saravana bavan / or any other bhavans.



What else....?
I'll write later.....
