East Indians in Chennai

|
Hello everyone,
I have recently been transferred to Chennai (after 33 years in amchi mobai).
Just checking, any EI's in Chennai / Associations etc that we could catch up on?
I go to St. Thomas church here in Chennai (Santhome)
Anyways, everyone asks me where I am from. I have to actually explain that I am a Native Mumbaiite...givem me an opportunity to learn more about my ancestry.
I have been browsing through Uncle Teddy's book (from Vile Parle). whole lotta stuff.
Am enjoying learning more about us all. gives one strange homseick pangs - i can only feel how my canada based relatives miss Mumbai - now I am one of the missers so to speak.
All you EI's in Chennai mail me at my ID - and yes I will let you all know about the bottle masala.
Regards,
Neil

Do you get fresh Bombil in Chennai???? if yes...you are still closer to Mobai! LOL
Make the best of your transfer and Good Luck.
As far as we understand, there is a sari shope (big building selling sarees), and EI lugra can be sourced in whole sale. Yes this is in Chennai. if you can let us know of this...it would help immensely.
any indication of where this shop might be? there are loads of saree shops here - i will check in saravana stores or Nallis... will let you know...
When in Mumbai next, i will try and get the exact contacts...cheers...
