Rs.9/- for dollar!!

What the hell are you talking? Are you dreaming? Which dollar? - I know these are the questions you want to ask me after reading the title. Yes, I know what I am talking and definitely not dreaming. Ask me where you will get it so cheaply? Its here in Chennai! This is no scam. However, to get that you need to travel a bit. After all, you won't get Dollar easily, do you? Well, this is what you have to do.

- Go to Tiruvanmiyur depot.

Now, for all those who don't know what tiruvanmiyur is; its a city bus depot in Chennai city. Tiruvanmiyur is the central location if you wish to travel towards south of the chennai. Untill few years back it was considered as the southern border of chennai. But now, Thanks to IT manaic, chennai has expanded so much towards south that tiruvanmiyur once a border is now a main center.

Enough with 'Gyan', lets get back to tiruvanmiyur bus depot.


- Wait there till you see a bus with route number T51. The moment you see it, get into it.

When I say 'get into T51', its not every T51. You should avoid taking an A/C T51. Otherwise your dollar will cost more. My suggestion is to take either a non a/c bus with closing doors or the 'Extra long' bus.

- Take a seat, if available.

- Watch out for a weired looking, serious personality with a leather bag and holding an electronic machine in his hand.

- Don't mess up with him. Don't talk too much to him. Just ask 'One dollar'.

- He will ask you 9/-

- Give what he asks for and he will hand you over a white colored slip with some ciphered text printed on it.

This is to make sure that others don't understand what is printed. Nevertheless, keep it in your safe custody. You will need it to accomplish you mission.

- Sit in the bus till it passes an area called Karapakkam and get down at the stop next to it.

There you are! at DOLLAR bus stop. And know what? you paid only 9/- for it. Cheap. Ain't it? :) :) :)

Some more gyan:
Dollar is the name of a bus stop on OMR road in chennai. The area has no specific name to indentify. So people started referring it by the name of a buscuit making company that was once operating near that stop. Now the company is gone, but the name remains. So much for a legacy,eh?
