india.
Mother India, bejewelled phantom, the epitome of "love-hate" relationships, one moment bestowing glories of unknown promise on you, the next confronting you with the abject poverty and public defecation. Oh India! Mother Goddess, the silk in which we wrap our face and hide our eyes. The country of conundrums, but also the subcontinent of extreme stomach satisfaction.

A close shave between panic attacks and lunch sweats, Chennai has something going for it and that is the food scene. From the legendary masala dosa at Mathsya, to the fiery curries at Amaravathi, idly at Murugan and lunch thali's at the enormous Krishna Restaurant, one thing you'll do perfectly well in Chennai, is eat.
