You would have glimpsed the heart of Chennai: the old, orthodox and piously religious peacefully coexisting and often reveling with modernized, westernized set.
Lying squarely between these rigid roots of a Dravidian cultural orthodoxy and the burgeoning modernization is this Gateway to South India - Chennai. With a population of about six million, today, Chennai is the fourth largest city in India. The modern face of Chennai has attracted the automobile industry's behemoths and the city has acquired the title of the 'Detroit of the South'. The high tech thrust and the knowledge culture is also turning Chennai into a 'Silicon City' - next only to Bangalore.
