Hoteloooo Hotels...

HOTELS IN CHROMEPET

Vanakkam Nanbargalay... I am sure many of chromepetians might have heard (even visited..!!) and began to exult about the recent developments in chromepet. In particular the upcoming of restaurants in chromepet. I am very much delighted to hear the news about the latest arrival of hotels in chromepet.

I have already written in my earlier posts, that a good hotel is really a curse for chromepet in particular Radha Nagar. Almost nearly for the past 15 years I have not seen any good vegetarian hotel in and around Chromepet. Now the time has come and chromepet is blessed to have good standard hotels.

During my recent visit to chromepet, I happened to have my breakfast in Balaji Bhavan. This hotel is located just few meters away from Vaishnava College Railway gate. I found the food very tasty and I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast in detail. Also the response (Crowd) was too good, by which I had a feeling of having food somewhere in a hotel in T.Nagar I am sure many of you might have tasted and already given your ratings for Balaji Bavan. I really cannot even guess that how many of you will join hands with me in complimenting the food taste of Balaji Bavan.


The talk of the town in chromepet during end of year 2009 was all about the great Namma Veetu Vasanta Bavan restaurant. Until the opening of Vasanta Bavan in Chromepet we all used to go to Tambaram to have a quality food at Vasanta Bavan. But now chromepet is lucky enough to have this hotel in the prime location of the GST Road. I still not have tasted the chromepet vasanta Bavan food, but assuming they keep up their standard similar to their outlet in Tambaram. But I heard that we need to wait a long time to get a seat in Vasanta Bavan, that crowded..!! is this true?


Wow, more good news are on the way in chromepet with respect to the opening of hotels. Now Adyar Ananda Bavan also have opened an outlet in GST road, if I am not wrong, some where near the great Vettri Theater.. Amazing.. I have tasted once in Adyar Ananda Bavan in Tambaram and I found the food tasty.

So now our GST road is become a hot spot for choosing a variety of taste and restaurant. No doubt chromepet is all the manner competing with T.Nagar by having all kinds of outlets. I hope in the near future let Saravana Bavan too have an outlet in our Great Chromepet.


The most important and joyful news is that Radha Nagar now fortunate enough to have a good vegetarian hotel, that too in the most famous street.. 'Bharathi Street'. Thanks to the VSP and their contribution to Chromepet and Radha Nagar. The VSP super market is a big hit among the chromepetians.. Yes all the items are available and the display, customer assistance is perfect. I am sure the VSP will reciprocate the response of its customers by expanding and providing more customer friendly environment with their super market.

The new VSP hotel is located in Bharathi Street just above the VSP Super Market. So far I have not received any information about the quality and taste. I am just waiting for it.

So what more proof is required to show the world, that chromepet is booming and becoming like a Texas of Chennai.. In the future, Chromepet will be much more a better place than T. Nagar to have all the branded outlets.

but still I have a soft corner and sympathy to our long serving Bhajji Kadai Nair and Bonda Rao in Radha Nagar, station Road. They are popular in their own style.

Tail piece : During my recent visit, I also witness the MTC Bus Route number 52E services resumed. Yes, again the Bus Service between Nemilicherry and Broadway by route number 52E has resumed. Thats another good news. Thanks to the people who really put their effort to resume this bus service. I hope more frequency and more new services will be introduced in the near future.

In short, I AM PROUD TO SAY I AM FROM CHROMEPET.. TEXAS of Chennai..

The only draw back in chromepet, in particular Radha Nagar is the Railway Gate. Even a great astrologer cannot predict the subway or flyover possibilities in Radha Nagar.

TEAM INDIA

Hi all.. Wishing you all a Very Happy New Year 2010. So far the year 2010 looks good other than few natural disaster like Haiti.

Now let us now dance down the track... A Straight Drive.. Yes, without any more clues I wish to say something about Cricket, in particular TEAM INDIA and their performance in the recently completed first Test Match agains South Africa. I was controlling myself so much in posting something about cricket, but this time I cannot hold any more my frustrations and anger over our TEAM INDIA and their poor performance in the 1st Test Match between South Africa.

So many questions got triggered in my mind, once we lost to South Africa in the 1st Test Match last week. More than any thing I was so upset that Badrinath wasted a golden opportunity to prove his skills. Finally I came to a conlusion ( this is the only way I consoled myself..) we badly missed 'THE WALL'.. Mr.Perfect, Dravid.. No doubt he is a legend. TEAM INDIA badly missed Dravid, for sure he might have played a major role and would have changed the entire fate of the 1st Test match.

I would like to list out few of my suggestions to TEAM INDA for this second Test Match. I will be happy to receive all your comments for the below listed suggestions... Finally I decided not to make this post so serious (not worth...) talking about TEAM INDIA performance, so trying my best to blend it to bring out in a lighter manner.

1) Better, TEAM INDIA to hire some talented players from Australian Team to play in the 2nd Test Match against South Africa.. Hope for this Mr. Lalit Modi will be of great help to TEAM INDIA.
But before we hire players from Australian Team, we must make those players believe that TEAM INDIA is full of australian players and the opponent SA team is full of Indian players.. The main reason behind this is, as Aussies are already thrashing our Indian in the streets of Australia, as well they will do it in cricket field..!!!

2)TEAM INDIA always keeps up the motto.. Yes as we stand in the No. 1 Spot in the Test Match Rankings (SINGLE DIGIT), so we got defeated in the 1st Test Match against SA by Single Digit only, just 6 runs..

3)TEAM INDIA to bid and hire Amla, Kallis, Steyn from SA Team for the 2nd Test match.
As Amla is of Indian origin, and hence there should not be any problem in this decision..!!

4)TEAM INDIA was far better than South Africa in the recent 1st Test Match. Because South African Team was dare enough and also capable of batting only once against Indian Bowlers, whereas TEAM INDIA played twice, - continuously.. epppuddddiiiiiiiiiii..

5)First and foremost our TEAM INDIA bowlers cannot bowl swings.. how can we expect reverse swing.. Probably we should train the Indian fast bowlers to run in reverse (backward) and then try to swing the ball.. Should try this in 2nd test match..

6)If any of the South African bowlers takes 2 wickets against TEAM INDIA in the second Test match, the umpires should ban those SA bowlers from bowling for the entire remaining match.

7)Last but not least.. When ever our Master Blaster scores a century (100 runs) our TEAM INDIA losses. No problem, one more record for Sachin and one more feather in his hat..!! I guess because of Sachin's continuous records and so many feathers in his hat, our TEAM INDIA has now become a 'FEATHERLESS CHICKEN'.

Sachin got out the very next ball he scored his century in the 1st test match.. Very dedicated guy.. On Personal Front..!!!

As usual, let us keep our fingers (if possible hands too..!!) crossed and watch the 2nd Test Match between TEAM INDIA and South Africa at Eden Gardens, Kolkata from 14th Feb 2010.

It is sad to note that this global recession has badly affected our National Game, Hockey too.. yes TEAM INDIA (hockey) is still pending of their dues..
