If moving to Chennai, please be relaxed as the people here are extremely friendly and helpful. But It would definitely be an advantage to know the English language as majority of the local people here either understand and speak Tamil (the local spoken language) or English. To move around the city, the local auto rickshaw is good and extremely safe for transportation but please be aware to bargain with the local rickshaw drivers are they are famous to charge double rates for people who are new and unaware of the city’s landscape.

Anyone moving to Chennai should know though there are plenty of opportunities to work and show off their talent. There are also certain disadvantages like pollution, high cost of living etc., Chennai is also a highly competitive place as people from different parts of the world come here to find extended career opportunities.

Chennai is really hot and extremely congested. Its people are really nice and sweet. One of the major cities in India so if you are looking for a business in India one of the best cities. The cost of living is less but the rents are high and you won’t find an apartment without a lot of searching so be prepared. Overall the city provides great opportunities, good people, a great atmosphere for living given one or two disadvantages which every major city has.

Chennai is a good city and it provides many job seeking opportunity. It lies in the Coromandel coast of the Bay of Bengal. The Marina beach is one the good sightseeing places for the people who visit Chennai. There are also many famous temples and malls to hang out and enjoy with family.

Anyone moving to Chennai needs to consider the following, the city is Hot and Humid almost all year-round also there is water scarcity and last but not the least it has high air pollution, but on the brighter side the pros are it has well connected transportation, it is secure city with very less crime rate.

Chennai has a lot of tourist spots including the world-famous Marina beach. It is the less traffic free city considering all the metropolitan cities. Easy access to public transportation is and added advantage to visit places around the city. The world-famous Mahabalipuram heritage site is 2hrs travel distance from the city through the ECR road.

Chennai is a very beautiful city with so many places. It’s a combined wonder of cultural places and modern entertainments which should not be missed in our lifetime. The only drawback is its traffic in the roads. Chennai is also the smart hub of Tamil Nadu. There are so many colleges here which brings so many young minds. This was house to so many bright entrepreneurs who are ruling the worlds, including Sundar Pichai and Narayana Murthy who are CEOs of world class companies.

If someone moving here, they consider and admire our livelihood practice and our tradition like way of dressing and way of our food, how we do love each other. Cons were we need to improve our disparity between village and city life. We consider our city is best for our tradition.
