Home to a multicultural population, Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu, is a historical city of contrasts. Scorching hot during summer and unbelievably crowded, it is steeped in tradition yet charmingly modern and cheerful. Chennai never disappoints its visitors. If you only have 48 hours in Chennai — like I did - use your time to savour piping hot filter coffee, explore the streets of gully cricket, experience hot street food, and learn new dimensions of the culture of the city. You have no time to waste, so get yourself a car and a driver who knows how to best guide you around Chennai
