I would like to take this opportunity to give you a short insight on the surroundings I grew up in. I was born in a beautiful city called Chennai. For those that may not have heard of it, Chennai is an upcoming city located in the southern part of India. It currently boasts of the highest economical growth in India. Chennai being a coastal city its description would be incomplete without a mention of the white sandy beaches. In Chennai my family owned a house in the heart of the city in a street called alwarpet.
My neighbourhood( cant actually call it that!) was more of a mixture of traditional and suburban. This is because there was no cull-De-sac, similar looking houses or apartments in the city. It was more like houses, apartments, malls etc randomly in the city. On my road there were malls, apartments and residential houses . So to actually compare my neighbourhood to the ones depicted in Suburban nation is not possible.
In Chennai it is very necessary to own a car or else you are screwed because the public transportation is pretty sad and the taxis charge rip-off prices. But if you have the patience and stamina to walk in 100 degrees farenheit, everything is close by. Apart from all this the people are very friendly and helpful. You can find kids playing cricket or soccer everyday in the evening.
It would not be wrong by concluding that the neighbourhood in which I grew up is highly unique both in its geographical structure as well as nature of the people residing within it.
