OMR or ECR? The result will shock you! 😱 & The Best Networking Events in Chennai #FindYourTribe

Weekend: November Fourth Week


Aaannndddd we have a winner! 🎉

Lol and this is not even me talking, this was all of you who voted! So much for the uproar I had for face for my favoritism towards OMR! 😂


Showkali: So that's it? You made us wait a week just to say this!?


Haha, no no! Chill, we're getting to the good stuff! Even though the stats are very evident, let's broadly discuss on livelihood.


Is OMR better or ECR better to live in!?


What are the factors you'd consider for livelihood!? Umm, food? Stay? Hangout spots? Let's go with these for starters.


Which has better food, OMR or ECR?


Showkali: Kaushik, I can't wait to see how many people you're going to tick off with this section.


Listen, my opinions are very genuine and everyone knows that it's true okay!


This indeed is a tricky one. Both the Old Mahabalipuram Road and the East Coast Road offer tons of choices when it comes to food. Where do I even start!?


Umm what do you guys have on the ECR? You guys literally have an OMR Food street on the ECR. That is the state of the ECR. Need I really say more? 😂😂

There are indeed some very good options though. I mean it's a battle in which both sides have too much ammo to exhaust. Be it the small snack bars, kai endhi bhavans, Moor Thatha of the ECR, Cycle Tea annas of the OMR we are almost equally matched. Almost!


It's just as the saying goes, close but no cigar!


Showkali: Justu miss ah? But for who!?


For ECR of course dummy! 😂😂


Well, but I'm sure you guys agree with me here. The amount of variety and choice the OMR offers cannot be found on the ECR. There are some very good places on the ECR like Thoondil, Gossip Cafe, Kipling Cafe and KoKoMo but pretty much every single major restaurant chain can be found on the OMR. We even have an Amelies open here now!


Ah yes where were we with the scoreboard? 1-1 right?

OMR - 2 | ECR - 1

Showkali: There's more originality on the ECR. 🙄


Nobody asked you Showkali. Next question?


Which is the place for fitness enthusiasts? OMR or ECR?


You guys should just walk over and scroll to the next question.


Yes, ECR is good for long weekend cycling rides to Mahabs but OMR has many more people jogging and cycling on a regular basis. This is thanks to the broad roads and the service lanes on the OMR. Where do you expect people to jog on the ECR? They'd get run over on those tiny roads! 😂😂

Be it marathons or cycling, OMR is definitely better. Having cycled every day from Thoraipakkum to Royapettah I definitely vouch for OMR on this one.

OMR - 3 | ECR - 1

Lol what happened? The ECR ticker seems to be broken! 😂


My colleague Ismail is like they have to work out only because they all work in IT and have Cholesterol.


First, it was only Showkali and now it's Ismail who's also torturing me. 🤦🏻‍♂️


Which has more places to chill? OMR or ECR?


What does the OMR not have? From rock climbing to malls. We have it all.


What does the ECR have? Now you're going to say beach! Beach! That only na? For how long da?


For how long are you guys going to say beach for everything? It's just like these Ajith fans. For anything and everything

Mangatha da! Beach da!

Athana?


Showkali: 🙄🙄🙄🙄

gokart ecr

Well yea, okay maybe you guys have the Wild Tribe Ranch and the GoKarting venture and the sea breeze and okay, okay enough. These guys will even say all their terraces are hangout spots just because they're able to see the beach.

Showkali: Too many 'or's. 🤔 Makesh's Terrace! 😍


Leela's balcony which you'll see below is better. Period.


Guess we're evenly matched with the number of cinema theaters as well.

Yea yea fine, you guys can have this one.

OMR - 3 | ECR - 2

Highrise apartments on the OMR


One of the most basic requirements when it comes to livelihood would be putting a roof on top of your head. The highrise apartments of the OMR give the beach view apartments a run for their money here.


I've been to both beach houses and highrise apartments and I've got to say, the beach view apartments just can't match the feel of the 25th floor on a TVH.

You can literally see the sea, the village, the highway, and the city. If the thought the New York lights were beautiful, you should see Chennai at night from that high up.

No talk only, it's definitely OMR!!

OMR - 3 | ECR - 2

Lol, do you guys really want to compete!? 😂


The Verdict!


Well from the looks of this, isn't it very obvious!?

So the winner is... and the winner isss.... issssss.......

.....

........

...........


Showkali: Dai.


Under humanitarian considerations the winning side is ECR. 😢


I can keep going on and on and on. There are so many other factors with which we could compare so I figured, I can do dedicated posts with that soon! 😋


Oh yea, ECR because even though OMR clearly has the upper hand with everything, ECR is calmer and more peaceful to live among the two.

Yes, OMR is like a mini-city, you don't have to leave it but here's what one of my friends, Gangadhar said when I was arguing with him.

OMR is made by man. ECR is made by nature. 🌱

There was nothing I could say! I've heard a lot of my friends say this though. OMR is good for working and other things but ECR is for living.


So saving the other good content for future posts, for now, we declare ECR the winners! ⚐

But you networking folks agree right? 😢

Have you ever heard of a networking event on the ECR? LOL.


With that, I'm going to tell you about the kickass events on the OMR this weekend!


Huge shoutouts to Sneha Elizabeth, Smitha Joyce, Raghav Shankar, Christopher Kapoor, John Tharakan George, Abishek and Likhith Krishna for the kickass pictures you guys just saw! 😁
