Hi, I recently came across your video and I really enjoyed it. I wanted to tell you a few things - Actually the pink drink you had in T-Nagar was not buttermilk, it was rose milk. (Unfortunately the seller didn't understand English so when you asked what the pink drink was he just answered the drink which was next to it (beige colour) that was badam milk (badam means almond). Also in between you thought people are insulting you, but they aren't insulting you, they just don't know English but they are happy that you are trying to talk to them and since you are going around with your camera they feel they will be viewed by people so they are just excited. But be rest assured no one was insulting you. It's not that they see foreigners talking to them regularly so their excitement is valid. The last dosa you had in Murgan Idli restaurant was masala dosa and not plain dosa. Also tamil people are very generous.
This place is at a walkable distance from my house. I live in Chennai and have visited Delhi many times. In my experience, safety in Delhi is a major concern. But it’s not just that-the pollution and dense crowds are also challenging to cope with. I’ve been scammed many times there, and it feels like Delhi is not just the capital of India, but the scam capital as well. What’s even more shocking is that the local cops seem aware of what’s going on but remain oblivious, allowing scammers to operate without any concern. When comparing Chennai and Delhi, Chennai is much better overall. The only issue in Chennai is the weather, which is hot and humid throughout the year. In Delhi, the climate varies, with very hot summers and colder winters. However, when it comes to scams, safety, and pollution, Chennai is definitely much better than Delhi

those are not temples. they are temporary shrines. you went there during Vinayaka Chathurthi (ie Ganesha festival) season. Every street will have some idol of Ganesha. they will be displayed there for about 2 weeks. After the festival is over, those idols will be submerged in the sea. you are lucky to catch that, those are very beautifully made idols, seen only during that time of the year.
16:58 You just moved away drinking. You should complete drinking the tender coconut juice and he will get it, cut it for you to eat the tender coconut pieces inside. You just wasted it. 😐
Welcome to Chennai. Truly you are engaging with locals in an amazing manner. You dont talk bad about streets, even though yes they are quiet unclean compared to German standards. Vanakkam, Varuga.
15:40 no, he told his name which is "Yelu-malai" which is Lord Vishnu's name, which roughly translates to "The lord of seven-hills". You mistaken it to be Salam Alekum, he is not a muslim.
T-Nagar (Thyagaraya Nagar) used to be the most busiest shopping area for clothes jewellery and every thing that you could imagine of🫶🏻. This place holds a special place as a childhood memory for me. After the pandemic the businesses might have slowed down a bit but the charm hasn't faded. Your video makes me (and my mom) wanna visit again here and spend till the sun sets. 🥺❤️ And also the juice shop that you visited to have sugarcane juice, it's the same place where my late grandmother loved to drink juice during our festive shopping days. I miss it the most 🫶🏻
Your adventure in Chennai seems like such a whirlwind of sights and flavors! I really enjoyed seeing the local culture and hearing about your encounters. What’s the one thing you’d recommend every visitor try?
9:30 bro i think you were at the time of VINAYAGAR SATHURTHI (VINAYAGAR is another name of GANESHA) it means we celebrate that day as lord ganesha's birthday.. thats why you see ganesha every where with big big statues on street. Here in tamilnadu we mostly worship lord MURUGAR who is younger brother of lord GANESHA and second child of lord SHIVAN and PARVATHII. After a week of VINAYAGAR SATHURTHI celebration we disslove all those statues on a beach probably at sunday...nearly 1000s of statues will be there at the beach.
Guten Tag! I am from Chennai, I lived my entire childhood here. I really loved the way you covered the city of Chennai. Though I found few things off😅. 1) yes, we do worship lord ganesha. But those things you saw on the streets are called "pandhal" which is like temporary temple made for the festival of "Ganesh chaturthi". You would enjoyed the essence if you have visited Pune or Mumbai during this time, as that festival hits a different level in the indian state of Maharashtra. 2) I don't think the area you were on (north-eastern part of Chennai) would be 100% representation of food in Chennai. Those areas have north indian settlements and their influence. Even the little boy you were talking to, he asked the shopkeeper "kya hai woh?" which means "what is this?" in hindi or someother northern language. And that's a chat shop (you get chat items, which are predominantly from the north) though we enjoy eating chat, one wouldn't consider them as from Chennai. But that clearly depicts the welcoming and friendly nature of Chennai and I love it. Your auto driver has given you a right suggestion about going to "murugan idli", I enjoyed dining there as a kid. They serve really good food, they are known for their different types of chutney they serve. I don't know if they still have their glory but really a awesome place to eat. It is really nice to see the place where I grew up, I left the city 2 years back, now I am in pune. This video made me see all the places I visited as a kid gets me to a nostalgic state. In tamil we say "Chennai pola oru oore illa" which means "there is no city like Chennai" I think that's true. Loved your video, thanks for this ❤
15:40 The reason India The Great is because you have greeted "Elumalai" a Hindu by different Culture and he simply acknowledged it. Where else can you find this unity and patience?
With coconuts you can always ask the vendor to cut them open and eat the tender coconut inside after drinking the coconut water. It’s really tasty as well. It’s kind of the whole deal for that price.
Bro you entered the city in the time of Ganesh chaturthi ,that's why you see a lot of Ganesh statues .Those are not temples , After a week ,we used to throw the statues in the wells or sea at the end
This is the difference here. People don't harass you, don't bother you, don't force you to buy something, not aggressive . Almost no beggars hogging you. I see all the time you are doing the first approach not them except the Rajasthan migrant fellow.
Bro I can feel ur thoughts, please visit Chennai next time with a local person , if u don't get them I'm ready to guide u 😊. And u I found u move there with lots of disappointment and. Confusions so I feel u not get the real Chennai, many of them are struck in their conversation and they can't thier opinion, its all about the language problem ,once again I recommend u visit Chennai with a local guide it may really helps u❤. Lots of love from Tamil Nadu . நன்றி வனக்கம்.
Its great to my area in youtube(i was near to mint street maybe bit far,but it's kinda near). Btw ,those statues are not temple. There is a festival called Ganesh chathurthi(Ganesh's birthday) for that we used to set a statue and celebrate it for around a week.
18:54 they have put the chutney in a cup for you or for everyone? They never do that they simply pour it on the banana leaf. I think they did this because you might spill it on the table as you are not used to eating like this. Nice restaurant.
Wowww rose milk..all time favorite 😋😋😋.. And the yellow flower name is called SAAMANDHI. Its name of the flower not the place where it comes from...that flower specially used for all poojas or prayers to worship hindu gods..tamilian watching from Amsterdam and tats the irony..welcome to Chennai bro.
This is the difference between humanity and brands... for sure CCD or any other would never give free Chai... I hope good things happen to that tea master
One seller told his name "elumalai", which was converted into assalamu alaikkum and both know that and how to reply for that... That's why this is Tamilnadu 😁
@@indianthamizhan007the phrase assalamu alaikum means “ peace be upon you “ and we can reply to it by saying “ wa alaikum assalam” which means “and upon you be peace” but you are comparing with jai shree ram which means “ victory to the lord ram or hail to the lord ram” literally dumbest comment i’ve seen on internet today its always hindus making so much problems and being so jealous seeing muslims
I wish I was there to guide you bro. Or pls have a guide cuz there are really clean and well maintained areas in chennai. I felt bad helpless when I saw u conversing with the shop keepers cuz u can't understand what they were saying.
