DESTINATION CHENNAIIntroduction and overview to the city

e history of Chennai is fascinating it owes its origins to a humble

fishing village. Ancient Chennai was ruled by the Pallava, Chola, Pandya and

Vijayanagar Empires. en followed a long history of foreign settlements.

e Portuguese arrived in the 16th century and left their unmistakable mark

through various monuments, the most important one being the port named

Sao Tome. e Dutch followed soon, and the British established themselves

in the 17th century, building the Fort St. George, which became the nucleusaround which the colonial city grew. e British East India Company in 1639

chose the tiny town of Madraspatnam as their permanent settlement. Anoth-

er town Chennapatnam, was duly merged with Madraspatnam and thus was

born Madras, a name favoured by the British. e French took brief control

of the city and the Fort, which was later won back by the British under the

famous treaty of Aix La Chapelle.

Contemporary Chennai still echoes the grandeur of the Pallava dynasty

and its several foreign settlers in its cuisine, architecture, culture, language and

its places of worship. is city is best known for its classical dance and music

heritage, ancient temples and churches, sensuous silk saris, fragrant jasmineflowers and the enduring aroma of itsfilter kapi( percolated coffee).

Global Adjustments wishes you a wonderful stay in this sunny cultural

capital of South India. Vanakkam! Welcome to Chennai!

MADRAS AND CHENNAI

W

hy Chennai? ats a question asked by not only newcomers to

the city but also by those who call it home. Before the British, or

rather the East India Company, there was no Madras.

In 1639, the East India Company was given a grant of land, a spit of

sand three miles long and one wide by Venkatadri Nayak, the Governor of

the Vijayanagar Empires territory. Here on this strip, the Companys Chief

Agent, Andrew Cogan, his subordinate, Francis Day, and their negotiator,

Beri immappa, established Fort St. George, and by 1640 immappa had

brought in weavers and dyers from his Telugu country, which is now Andhra

Pradesh, to settle north of the Fort. It was this Fort that was to grow into

Madras, but nowhere in the city are Cogan, Day or immappa, its founders,

remembered!When Day was granted that land, Venkatadri Nayak requested the Com-

pany to name the new settlement after Chennappa Nayak, his father. e

British, instead, named it Madraspatnam, a name for which there are many

theories.

e storytellers favourite theory is that it was named after the Madeiros

family. e Portuguese were the first European settlers on the Coromandel

Coast, establishing themselves in the 1520s in what they called San ome.

Madeiros, a Portuguese ships captain, became not only the richest merchant

on the Coromandel but the family he begat was, well into British times, the

First Family of the Coromandel in a manner of speaking.

Numerous were the occasions they lent money to the various European

councils on this coast! Most significantly, they funded scores of fishing vil-

lages on the Coromandel and many of these villages are said to have called

themselves Madrakuppam (kuppam means villages), Madra or Madera being

the local contraction of Madeiros. And so it is quite possible that Cogan and

Day named their settlement after two nearby fishing villages that were Madra

kuppams.

When immappa brought in the textile-makers from the Telugu country

in 1640 to produce the cottons for which the East India Company had put

down roots on this coast, they were settled just north of the Fort. e Indian

settlement, which Fort St. George called Black Town, was called by the set-tlers, presumably at Beri immappas request, Chennaipatnam, fulfilling the

request that had been put to him by his friends, the two Nayaks. us from

the very first days of the founding of the new settlement by the Cooum River

mouth, it was called Madraspatnam by the Europeans and those speaking in

English or the local pidgin, and Chennaipatnam by those speaking in the ver-

nacular. In fact, not only was this the practice right through the days of the Raj

and down to this day, but officialese has always called it Madras if recorded

in English and Chennai if in the vernacular. Both names have survived side

by side happily for 360 years now and there was no real need to replace one

by the other.

Locals, nowadays, still refer to the city as Madras but official documents

require that Chennai be used. At international airports the destination is still

Madras.

THE PEOPLE OF CHENNAI

The people of Chennai are rooted in their tradition and culture,

though outwardly westernization can be glimpsed in all facets of

life. While music, dance and the performing arts are cherished and

nurtured in this city, the people here equally enjoy McDonalds and a nightout at the local discotheques.

Families in the middle class place a huge value on good education and

careers and most homes will have at least a couple of members holding either

a medical, law or an accounting degree. English is understood and spoken by

most people in this class. Exposure to western culture is very high as most

families have children and other relatives settled overseas and visit them

occasionally.

People here are warm and welcoming even to strangers and expatriates

have found residents of Chennai to go out of their way to help them getaround and get to know their city. Religion is inexorably intertwined into

everyday life, no matter which faith people practice. Superstitions and myths

guide many activities and even find their way into work life. Learn to work

your way around inauspicious times and bad days as the people of Chennai

will attribute a lot of value to auspicious times and days before they embark

upon anything constructive be it a new job or a new business. Almanacs are

frequently consulted for all important occasions such as setting dates for wed-

dings and naming babies, ground breaking before construction, house warn-

ings, inaugurations of offices and factories and much more.

Traditionally, the attire of Chennai (and the state of Tamil Nadu) is the

unstitched length of cloth called the Sari draped around the body and brought

over one shoulder for women. is is paired up with a long skirt (called a

petticoat) worn inside and a short blouse covering the torso. e men wear a

shorter length of unstitched material called the Veshti tied sarong style at

the waist, teamed with a kurta a loose, collarless shirt or a regular shirt.

At the workplace, formal wear is largely the norm. Women continue to

wear Indian garments either the sari or the salwar-kameez which is harem

style pants paired with a long top and a scarf, while men are invariably in for-

mal trousers, shirts, ties and a jacket or even business suits. Younger women

are increasingly opting for western formal office wear.

You will find most women heavily dressed for evenings out and formal

occasions the women of Chennai love displaying their beautiful silk and

brocade saris, designer salwar kameez sets and their jewellery!

BECOMING A TENANT

R

eal estate practices and tenancy laws in India are quite different

from international norms. We would advise you to use our expertise

to help you find the ideal home in India, negotiate the complexclauses of the lease agreement and help you move in. Property owners tend

to list their homes with multiple brokers, usually with no formal agreements

whatsoever and prospective tenants have very little control over negotiations

unless they are represented by well known realty service providers. Selecting

your home and working out the rental agreements are the most crucial deci-

sions that you will be making in your early days in India, and we are here to

help you ensure that you find the best home and have a hassle f ree move in.

Most cities typically have expatriate housing zones and Chennai is no dif-

ferent. e popular expatriate areas are Wallace Gardens, Poes Gardens, Boat

Club Road, Kotturpuram, Adyar, Besant Nagar, and the East Coast Road. e

East Coast Road is particularly attractive as it is away f rom the congestion of

the city and is famous for its villa style beach front properties. We can help

you look up these districts on the city map and help you work out the com-

mute/travel times to your office, the airport and train stations, the business

district, entertainment, medical and shopping facilities and the schools.

GETTING TO KNOW THINGS

AROUND YOUR HOME IN CHENNAI

Living in India is a unique experience you come across something

new each day! Consider this a wonderful learning experience and bepatient about things which you cannot figure out, and keep your sense

of humor handy for things that you cannot change! ese are fail-safe formulas

for a happy and peaceful stay here. India will teach you acceptance and tolerance,

qualities that our ancient religions have instilled in us for centuries.

Here are some important facts that you will need to know when living in

Chennai:

Water

e city gets most of its water supply from the Chennai Metropolitan

Corporation through pipelines which fill the sumps (underground tanks) in

homes. e water is then pumped into overhead tanks. In apartments, the

maintenance staff takes care of ensuring that the pumps are run everyday to

give you uninterrupted water supply. In villa style homes, the occupants need

to ensure that the pumps (commonly referred to here as motors) are kept

running and are serviced regularly. Your staff the maid, security guard or

gardener can be trained to run the motors every day.

DESTINATION CHENNAIGetting to know things around your home in Chennai Getting to know things around your home in Chennai

If you wish to chlorinate your water, you can use locally available bleach

liquids and pour some in the sump every day.

Many homes will also have a second source of water Bore Wells or

ground water. is is usually used for the garden and for the bathrooms as the

water may not be fit for drinking (due to its dissolved mineral or salt content).

Ground water is also pumped up to overhead tanks by motors.

In summer, Chennai experiences water shortages. Most of the residents in

the city have got around this problem by buying water and having the tankers

pump the water up into their sumps and overhead tanks. In apartments, the

maintenance staff take care of this. If you live in a villa style home, you will

need to enter into an arrangement with a private water supply company to get

the tanker deliveries set up. Your property owner or your staff can guide you

on this.

Drinking Water

Please do not drink water straight from the tap or anywhere else unlessit has been boiled or chemically treated. We encourage you to buy branded

bottled or packaged water which comes in clear plastic dispensers of varying

sizes.

Packaged drinking water is safe and we recommend going for a reputed in-

ternational brand. Drinking water supply is available in all convenience stores

as well as large grocery outlets.

Cooking Gas

e medium of cooking here is usually liquefied petroleum gas. ere is

no piped gas supply in Chennai. Cooking gas comes in cylinders which are

hooked up to your stove top. ere are government and private suppliers of

cooking gas and you will be required to set up an account with them by pay-

ing a deposit. Government suppliers may have longer waiting lines than the

private suppliers, who are likely to provide you with an immediate connection

and supply.

Waste Disposal

Although recycling is not commonly practiced in Chennai, we encourage

you to separate your wet trash from the dry trash and keep aside all newspa-

pers, plastic, glass and tins to be sent away for recycling. ere are many shops

in the neighbourhood that will take your daily papers, cans, bottles and other

recyclables for a price! ey come home to collect it or you can have your

maid/driver take it across to the shop.

Wet trash is to be bagged and disposed of in the bins that are kept in

the yard in apartment complexes. If you live in a villa, please have your maid

dispose of the bags at the nearest bin on your street. Trash collection is the

responsibility of the city, and this is done several times during the day by the

trash vans.

ere are neighbourhood watches that operate under the banner Exnora

to help keep the neighbourhood clean do find out your nearest watch and

get to know the teams.

Garden refuse can be recycled as organic manure for your plants and

shrubs.

Sewage

Apartment complexes and villas in the city have sewage lines that are

maintained by the city. Some homes, especially on the beach front, do not

have this facility and instead make do with septic tanks which need periodic

emptying and cleaning by designated agencies. If the home you rent needs

this service, please check with your property owner on how this needs to be

taken care of.

Electricity

Electricity supply in Chennai is controlled by the state Government body

called the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board or TNEB.

Chennai has a 3-phase power supply. In order to have all your appliances

and electrical connections working properly, all three phases need to be alive

at the prescribed voltage of 220V. In the event of a power outage, you may


9/48


DESTINATION CHENNAI


DESTINATION CHENNAI

find either one or two phases working or all three out of commission. Most

homes have automatic or manual switches installed, to enable you to switch

to the phases which are alive and allow you to have uninterrupted power sup-

ply during a partial outage. In case of a complete outage, you will need to call

your local TNEB office to register a complaint. e telephone number is listed

in your Chennai Telephone book or the Yellow Pages Directory. Restoration

can take anywhere from five minutes to a few hours, depending on where the

problem lies.

You can have uninterrupted power supply by installing inverters or genera-

tors in your home to kick in during a power outage. While negotiating your

lease agreement, we recommend that you ask the property owner to provide

for this.

Telephone/ Internet Connectivity

Telephone and Internet services are provided in Chennai by the state gov-

ernment under the name BSNL-Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited and many

private service providers. It is usually a little faster to get connectivity fromprivate service providers. Often, telephone and broadband internet connectiv-

ity are bundled together to give you a better deal.

Breakdowns around your home

Electrical appliances are liable to be affected as a result of fluctuations in

voltage of the electricity supply. is risk may be minimized by installing a

stabilizer in your residence, either centrally or for each sensitive appliance, de-

pending on your needs. Plumbing, carpentry and masonry maintenance work

may also be required around your home occasionally. You may check out the

local Yellow Pages for service providers in your neighbourhood.

Keeping the bugs away

If you live in a villa style home with a garden, we recommend that you

get the garden sprayed for mosquitoes on a regular basis and ensure that your

household staff do not leave stagnant water anywhere as this is a breeding

ground for them.

Have your windows fitted out with nylon netting which allows you to keep

your windows open while keeping the bugs out. e most popular brand of

netting Netlon, is easy to fix and maintain and comes in two options fixed

and removable. You may look for the nearest service provider for Netlon fit-

tings from your local Yellow pages.

Roaches, flies, ants are common because of the tropical climate in Chen-

nai. Roach bait and ant bait discs are very effective do bring a considerablesupply of this in your cargo. Local sprays are also available which work quite

well. We recommend you enter into an annual contract with a pest control

service so that a service is done prior to moving in and repeated every four

months. Contact us for pest control service providers.

Rodents can be another problem if your kitchen and garden areas are not

kept clean of garbage. Ensure that none of your trash cans are left open or any

garbage strewn in the garden area. Wipe down all kitchen surfaces thoroughly

after cooking and keep all drains clean by pouring bleach or a drain cleaner

frequently; we also recommend that you shut your kitchen windows at night.
