confusions of a wandering mind - II

I am not a Chennaite.. I absolutely detest shopping .... The T Nagar mania is beyond my scope of understanding and given a choice it would be the last place on earth I would like to find myself in...its just that I don't get to choose too often.. most of the people I know.. including my mom.. are hardcore Chennaites who swear by the magic of shopping till they drop...
So...on most of my Madras trips I find myself there.. wondering primarily why am I here and when I am not doing that.. some things like....
1)is T Nagar a part of Chennai or vice versa..?
2)how does the staircase leading to Saravana stores look like..?
3)why do i just fall short of kneeling down and kissing the road each time I leave Ranganathan Street..?
4)who s the brain behind the garish tableau-ish thing they put up outside Pothys ..and what s the need for it anyway..?
5)do the shopkeepers offer a major discount to people waving dirhams in front of their eyes..?
6)why is the shop endemic restricted to this particular road alone...?
7)What s the point behind the oh so huge hoardings when the shop they are advertising for is right there where the hoarding ends...?
8)why do most of the jewellery shops look like fish markets irrespective of the gold prices..?
9)where do the branded wear showrooms advertise for job vacancies..?the salesmen there are clearly getting paid for swatting flies...
10)why do I get this feeling of walking into deeper trouble each time I enter Nalli...?
11)why don t all the multistoreyed shops,catering for family needs in every way with different storey for different types of garments and accessories ,and newly added coffee shops and food joints,dedicate a floor for people to stay and continue their shopping the next day..?twould save all that travelling time ..
12)do the T Nagar niwasis shop daily..?
13)why is just one ICICI ATM machine tucked away in a petrol pump the only source of jaldi money here..?
14)what is a nice book shop doing on the outskirts of this madness..?
15)and finally why can't we just have more agoraphobics in Chennai..?
