Hot, sticky and a noisy metro on the move is Chennai for you, in a nutshell. A city that is as scientific as it is religious, as steeped in culture as it is in commerce and as inspired by history as it is by progress, today Chennai is a city of temples, beaches, nightclubs and fast cars. This automobile capital of India and centre for outsourced jobs has a fresh new attitude as jasmine bedecked braids and temple visits are gradually replaced by short skirts and nights at the discotheque. Like its historic Fort George that houses the Secretariat and Legislative Assembly today, the past and the present live side by side in Chennai, straddling conflicting cultures to forge a fresh, new path.
