Wonderfully written piece that stirs up nostalgic memories of the Madras I grew up in and the no-nonsense “cut to the cheese” Madras lingo!

That was seriously funny!! I was born in Madras, lived there until I was 22 and then left the Marina beach for further shores approximately 40 years ago. Maybe I have retained some of Madras bashai cos people do associate me with irreverence but I have not been apologetic or even ashamed of it. This article celebrates that and yes, it is Madras, and will always be to me.

Brilliant! Though I am not from Madras, as a Tamilian who visited Madras every summer vacation, I can totally relate. Extremely useful way to deal with scamming I-bankers, promoters and their ilk!
