chennai is a mindscape.

i feel pretty good on knowing that the economic crisis has started to wrap up,i feel good because i had reasoned infront of many,many being educated men and women far much older than me,i had argued with a positive sense of perception that i can see april being the breakpoint.obviously,once the world economy ragains full fledged growth,india's recovery will be much faster and steeper than the rest of the world.and by the way,why is it that people always ignore the positive just because some eonomic news is negative.now as a matter of fact,what really makes me write now is a thought which struck my mind while having tea at 5 in the morning..

can development really be justified at the cost of our heritage..as a matter of fact,preserving our heritage is a significant step forward in developing our society,as opposed to developing a particular plot.yet some of india's top municipal authorities seem to think heritage gets in the way of development.to turn chennai into a city with smile,we need to go much beyond the fiscal framework.we,the people,want not just comfortable living and working conditions,but an enriching life in our leisure time,a surfeit of choices,night-life,day-life,options should be open all times.the attraction of a "great" city-new york,sydney,london,paris,san francisco and even new delhi lies in the fact that these choices exist.people dont have to adhere to particular regional languages or ancient customs,these cities are open to all and in everyway.

i would be glad to see chennai turning into he city which defines southern world,i say that,in full knowledge of the fact that this place has the potential-geographically(except climate) as well as economically,to be so.
