I stay in Madipakkam. My partner lives in Nanganallur. My house is very close to Velachery railway station. But it is quite far from Chennai airport. Whereas Nanganallur is close to airport. Grand Mall is at a walkable distance from my house. But in case of my partner there are no malls as it is renowned as temple city. It is one of the important heritage centres of Chennai. 

Madipakkam is surrounded by lakes. It is a water logging area. There are no drainage and water connection. Media shows my place during raining season as the boats come to rescue and the food supply is from the air through helicopters.
