The
corporate scene is the same as in other Indian cities, more efficient
and a bit conservative perhaps. Living in Chennai is comfortable.
Teachers are always in demand in Chennai, with banking and secretarial
vacancies always being advertised for. In recent times sales and
telemarketing also have picked up. Professionals in infotech and
other areas are also in great demand.
Law
and Order: Chennai
is a quiet sort of place. Recently, though, say residents, incidents
of women being molested, and chain snatching have increased. Every
ten years or so a semi lunatic resident of Chennai massacres people,
but otherwise it is quiet. There were also a few incidents connected
to the Sri Lanka problem but usually it is an internal quarrel
and the public is not affected. Some new peculiar variants of
caste quarrels are on the increase in the rural areas but so far
haven't reached Chennai.
For
elderly people Chennai is quite congenial. Overall, in spite of
changes, Chennai is quite traditional compared to other metros.
Apart from hundreds of temples inside the city, close by are several
pilgrimage centers like Kanchipuram and Tirupati across the border
in Andhra Pradesh. Chennai also boasts of famous mosques like
Thousand lights and Triplicane. Churches are numerous, like SanThome,
Velankanni, Cathedral to name a few. Then there are various modern
"ashrams" like the Theosophical Society at Adyar and many others.
