A solo Travelling in Chennai... Short stories of my life - 8

A girl from a town, who is not used with Chennai lifestyle. Though she travelled to Chennai many times with her family,  and suddenly have to travel alone, how does it feel?

This is how my parents felt, where I have to travel alone in Chennai, when I was a first year college student. It was so awkward for me to ask my friends or my roommates to travel with me as an help. 

At first, it was so difficult where I have to beg people,  to accompany me for travel. I used to travel with my friends or my roomie to accompany me, but then asking the person again and again is like irritating them or make them frustrated on this. Though they never told the uneasiness of how they felt, I thought maybe I should travel alone.

It was the even semester time, I started travelling alone. There are many things which I am not aware of in Chennai. But the strangers of unknown people here, irrespective of their age they helped me, guided me in Chennai which shows the humanity here. 

As a girl, travelling travelling alone in Chennai, my parents always called me to help, to guide me, though their inner conscience were afraid, of what something terrible happens to my daughter.

Now, I am a person who loves to travel alone and let me tell you, I never faced any harassment, eve teasing. The most terrifying place in Chennai is North Chennai, this is what people told me about this for a girl to travel alone. But let me tell you, I have even travelled to north chennai alone, without any help of my friends. This is so true about Chennai (வந்தாரை வாழவைக்கும் சென்னை). 

You may think that this is very simple for a person to survive in Chennai, but it is not easy at all, especially for a women. If they get used to regularly, it is a safe place for all.

Why am I writing a blog about this?

For those who read my blog about this especially if you are not from Chennai, don't think that someone will help us all the time. You need to stand up on your feet and survive here.

In Conclusion, Chennai is a place where you'll learn a life lesson and it teach you many things about life. It depends on how you utilise it.

If you have self confidence on yourselves and have guts, please travel alone and be brave enough to face the upcoming obstacles that you might have to face while travelling in Chennai.
