Living

This is the apartment where the bank has put me up. It's in the Nungambakkum area (Stirling First Cross St), which is a quiet and leafy street away from the chaos of the roads.

It's the 3rd floor , our lounge has the unobscured bay windows you can see here. It's damn hot in that apartment, The flat roof above gets baked all day. Without the aircon I imagine it's a bit like the chicken feels in the Tandoori oven. Chennai has a lot of sea wind, luckily, which cools the heavy humid air so it's tolerable. 2 of the 3 aircons failed last week and the repair man was away in Bangalor, I was close to relocating to a hotel, it was too hot to sleep well. Putting the fan on full speed is not calming - I get buffetted about as the ceiling is quite low!

The shots below are looking down the road, and inside the lounge.
