Chennai throws a challenge for MS Word!

I had been to Chennai the day before. Ok, dont panic , I can understand Tamil a bit and know the city to such extent that auto-wallahs can't con me. As soon as one lands in Chennai, he is welcomed with a gush of VERY VERY hot breeze. I cant put it in more pleasant terms.In a hour's time, I started realising how beautiful & pleasant, Hyderbad is! Atleast in Hyderabd, you don't find 3D-writings on every wall in the city. Yes, 3D wall writings are something special to Sambharland. Its very difficult to describe them verbally, but I will try. Basically, you have three colours in every letter. The top half is normally RED then you have WHITE or YELLOW which is usually followed by BLACK at the bottom. Even Micrsoft hasn't been able to come up with such a font in their MS-WORD application. Poor chaps, they are not a match to the indigenous ways of Indian populace. Half the walls in Tamilnadu are covered with Amma's portraits while the other half are grabbed by Karunanidhi/Stalin. Our Star "Vijaykanth" who disproved many age old physics laws , is also a strong contender in this wall-mart. I believe that Tamilians are among the most politically-active groups in India. Thought the state has developed a lot, the elections are still fought on caste equations. Brahmins are ignored since they are a meager 1-2% of the population. Almost all the parties have taken the state voters for a ride. But still they get elected year after year.
