I'm not putting any links here as it's a festival organized by a media house and it might be seen as an ad. That said, it's rare to find Sufi (Abida Parveen), Hindustani classical (Channulal Mishraji), and a bunch of other artists of this calibre in November in Chennai. So don't miss it!

17th onwards, six consecutive evenings (7pm). Also, on the 23rd is a German jazz band (heads up for jazz lovers: there's an Australian one performing on the 19th - James Ryan jazz quartet).

Hope to bump into some IMers over there :) ]]> Chennai (Madras) zanzi http://www.indiamike.com/india/chennai-madras-f24/music-concerts-november-fest-t95397/ http://www.indiamike.com/india/chennai-madras-f24/it-product-companies-in-chennai-t95116/ Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:50:20 GMT Any idea about what are the good software product companies in Chennai.

What accomodation would you recommend for this time period? Hostel, Guest House or renting a small appartment? My budget is 10-15.000 RS per month. If anyhow possible I would like to avoid staying in a hostel for that time, since I like having my own kitchen (but no MUST). How big is the chance to rent a small appartment for two months? Very low, I assume? Is there anybody in this forum who has contact to someone in Chennai who rents an appartment? Even better would be, if somebody wants to do a flat share with me. Thanks in advance! Best regards Stefan Hi all,

Please ignore my newness but I am very confused. Hi, We (me and my 2 daughters all adult) will be at Delhi Airport on Dec 29. at 12.00pm (would like to take a domestic flight early morning on 30th). I have few questions. 1. We want to visit Kerala from Dec 30th to Jan 4th(leaving Jan 4th), yet to make reservation from Delhi to Kerala for the flight. - Like to know which place to make a reservation for (i.e. Trivandrum or Cochin, or Chennai). 2. We will have full Dec 31, Jan. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, total 4 days. Can someone please help in making a itinerary for us. We love to see any thing but the museums or lot of temples. We like to spend at least one night in house boat. 3. As we are 3 ladies, should we take organized tours where someone can pick us up from the airport. 4. What are the activities for the new year eve. for my daughters (in mid 20s). Our budget is around 5000rs+- per day/night for 4 of us. Again, appreciate all the help. :) Thank you in Advance.
