To borrow a line from a character from Kannathil Muthamittal - the thing I love and value the most would have to be the earth I live on - my beautiful Chennai!
Fresh from Bombay I Thank Chennai for these:
1) Pondy Bazaar! the flower stalls, radio mirchi playing, guys stringing roses and jasmines into garlands! (the sweat, smells, and sounds of the plebeians)
2) December Kutcheri Season - the whole carnatic music world congregates and all you hear is music, the theory behind a raga, the origin of a song! bliss! (and all you see is 'Parking Full' along TTK Road for a fortnight!)
3) The bestest dosas in the world! (who's arguing?)
4) Funeral processions that have music, dancing and colour... almost makes you wanna be alive to see it. Although that defeats the purpose and all that!
5) My Girls and Boys. You know who you are! (Not counting a certain ex-best friend.)
6) Sathyam Cinemas. Do I even need to say more?
7) Zaras!
8) The smell of camphor (can't get the temple outta this brahmin, i tell ya!)
9) Our old temples. Only for the architecture, mind you. (And the cheap grass.)
10) Our film stars turned politicians - free entertainment in the form of news and politics
11) Our pretty beaches! (and the drone of "Kai anche, vai patthu". Translation: "Hand, five; mouth, ten.")
12) Tree-lined streets!

Some of mine, to add to the list.
5 AM filter coffee (sugary, but good) at Udipi Welcome
6 AM Sambar iddli at same Welcome
Filter Coffee and Real Vanilla icecream at Peter's road Saravana Bhavan. (Ice-cream first, then Filter COffee.)
Walking from Nilgiris on Edward Elliots Road to Ranjith hotel in Nungambakkam High ROad at 7 in the evening.
Doing the same walk the next day, but with two friends for company
Walking along Thanikachalam Road, Dr. Nair road, TP Road, Valluvar Kottam and Village road because you were bored of riding your bike.
Bored, so you take your bike out and go everywhere, without getting anywhere, and enjoy traffic for what it is - a huge affirmation that the city is still alive, is worth living in.
Powercuts between 6 and 9 in the evenings, so you walk out and gossip with cousins and uncles and neighbours, catching up on old family scandals while the air cools down, mosquitoes warm up. Those 2-3 hours spent doing nothing, but sitting on the steps out your home...major fun.
Mint Street, Parry's Corner, Fort St. George, Mandavelli-Mylapore markets, P.T Rajan salai, Natesan Salai and 9th Sector, KK Nagar, Sardar Patel Road, Mt. Road, Chamiers Road and TTK Road, GN Chetty Road, Jeeva Park, Bazullah Road, Rangarajapuram/Samiyar Madam, Besant Avenue, Besant Lane, Besant Road, Peter's Road, Gen. Patter's Road, Pattulo's Road, White's Road, Greame's Road
