What is the need to write everything in tamil? the majority of people on the internet search using english only. And on the Internet english is most prevalent language.

There are some budget motels which are good and at same time people who are traveling towords blr/thirupathi highway can have food before or after their travel.

Hi Sethmurugan Sir,

The topic Eating out in Chennai is very popular and at the moment there 987 people who have viewed your posting Sir.
Going by this popularity its mouthwatering effects have already started showing in me. Continue to give us more stuff to eat Sir.

The sad thing is I may have to wait at least two whole months. Anyway I wish all of them a very good appetite.

Rajpriya
