Chennai 600063, Enga Area!

You are always Welcome to Live a peaceful life here...

A decade and a half back when we stepped into our new house, there was nothing around. During rains, our house will look like an island surrounded by water. We need to pass on through knee deep water to get on to the main road. On the way there would be no street lights and it would be shit scary while passing through at dark times. That was the period, people started to settle down in Chennai 600063. Its located at the hill side, along the NH 45 route. Mostly people who were living in the area were working in Standard Motors which would be just a few yards away from their home.

Now, not only this particular place, but also the nearby places like Tambaram, Chrompet and Pallavaram are in a flourishing phase. Commercially as well as for living purposes the real estate in these places are on a high. The developments and lifestyle in these places have also geared up for an up gradation. Marketers, both retail and corporate are pitching in hardly in these places. I was amazed to see international brands like Honda, Shell, Samsung, Sony set up direct showrooms. Also the retail brands like Anjappar, Naiduhall, Bharat Petroleum are present.

In focus, a township is under construction in Chennai 600063 with multiplexes, IT park and hotels. A small hill which is open to public is a Walker’s Paradise in this place. Fresh air from the surrounding forests, roaring lion sound on a few occasions from the adjacent lion safari, neat path for walking, aerial view of the place are affairs that make the place a walkers paradise early in the morning. Will you like to hear a lion or crow/cock early in the morning!? I like to hear a lion roar early in the morning when I wake up. But, what I could do now is only hear it electronically, not live!!

A few kms further down south are another two townships under construction and further down a few kms from there is the Mahindra City. Diagonally north to Chennai 600063 is the place where the new airport is planned and diagonally south is the site for satellite town.

Altogether, the whole area is the next place to live for those who are tired with the current crowded places like Adyar, Kottur, Kotturpuram, Mylapore, Alwarpet, Anna Nagar and so on. I believe the next craze of city life will be the stretch in between the present Airport and Chengalpet. That’s going to be the next hub for both marketers and consumers.
