Cow & cattle


The cow isn't just another toy ornamenting living space. It is an animal that is worshipped by The Hindus. But then in Chennai we see them in hordes straying into the high street in front our apartments complex. The owners let the animals loose after milking them in the morning.  The cattle roam the streets through the day and return home to their owners, by sundown. The YouTube shows the cattle making their way back home

Cows on our street

Cows let loose by owners to fend for themselves feed on roadside grass patch and edible garbage and stray out into our street, posing a traffic hazard for passing vehicles on OMR, Chennai. Road. Accident in which speeding buses knock out a passing cow is not uncommon.

Real estate on OMR

Advertising a residential community coming up on OMR, a fast growing stretch in Chennai. At the last count, about 50 apartments complex projects are said to be in varied stages of construction. Real estate development brings with it plans for malls, fast-food chains, and budget hotels. OMR is a pay-for-use road, with traffic clogs, and too many red signals to warrant the Rs.35 freeway toll fee.

S for Swim pool

Life in our apartments complex in OMR, Chennai, allows for family time at the clubhouse pool even on weekday mornings. It is summer break for the children, but father has a full day's work ahead at office. Such enviable work-life balance is hard to get in most places.
