- You see Kollam drawn in front of all Brahmin households.
- You see sad, tilting, green buses making way to their destinations.
- You see more Enfield Bullets on the road.
- You go to the only multiplex in town to watch a movie.
- You feel hot and humid at the same time like never before.
- You know that there is only a single arterial road in the entire city.
- You see people worship moviestars.
- You don’t have access to Star Movies and HBO.
- You see more wine shops than you have ever seen before in life.
- You see wine shops near temples and temples near wine shops.
- You see wine shops, which have grills protecting the shopkeeper and the liquor from its customers.

you know you are in chennai when:
- you see cleaner beaches compared to the west coast.
- you see the roads clear by 9.30 pm and bustling at 6 am.
- you see large and small temples EVERYWHERE.
- you see posters of amma, MGR and karu on every fence wall smiling at you promising a better life.
- you see hindi mercilessly rubbed off from signboards.
more later....

You see posters of Vasanth & Co. man smiling at you from behind buses.
