Poonamalle !!!!!!!

Yesterday, i went chennai with my dad to meet a doctor(yeah, u guessed that rt...he's a dermatologist). The clinic was in poonamalle road. So we got down at guindy junction and we took a bus to poonamalle. It was some 20+ Kms away from guindy junction. When we reached the busstand, i got this sick feel because the place was nothing less than a slum !!!!!

I immediately dropped the idea of taking medication from that doctor, but my dad insisted and we went and asked for the address.

Me: This is poonamalle road.
Autodriver: Yes
Me: well, u know where's Breeze hotel ?
Autodriver: Yes, it's in poonamalle road.
Me: (bit confused) yeah, so where exactly in this road... (showing the direction) this way or that way.
Autodriver: (he pointed the direction where we came from and told) That way...u have to go another 25 kms !!!!!!!
Me: (shocked !!!!) what ???? this is poonamalle road rt ? then how come !!!! (i was literally blabbering)
Autodriver: yes, but u see, this poonamalle road starts from central station and ends here...nearly 35 kms..........

My dad was in splits as i was the one who acted like i-know-all-roads-in-chennai.....Then we took a bus and travelled another 45 mins to reach the location !!!!!!!

I still donno why the hell they kept that whole road as poonamalle road..........!!!!!!!!!

After that , we got sometime to roam , so i went and asked an autodriver:

Me: can u take us to spencers?
Autodriver: ok, 70 bucks....
Me: what ????? too high....it's in anna saalai rt..it's a short distance....
Autodriver: sir, u know where anna saalai starts from...............?

The next moment, i dropped the roaming plan and went back to hotel.....
