What are the things I am facing as a new bee in Chennai?!

Erode to Chennai!

There are many things that I face struggles for survival in Chennai.
In the beginning, I have to manage the feeling that I miss my hometown, and at the same time, accept the highly populated city. I am going to share a few problems that I am currently facing.

Home food
Till now, I did not value my home food or my hometown's style of food.
Here I am staying in a PG. They are Telugu people, so their food is also Telugu style. Literally, I can't eat the food they provide. Every day, I am searching for a new hostel or home food makers. Currently, I am convincing my mind that this situation is temporary, "it will change after u get a job and move into a new area."

Transportation
I didn't go anywhere till now in Chennai because of the traffic and lack of public transport. In my area metro is also not available nearby. If I plan to go by bus, I will be there half an hour late. So, I am simply sitting on my Hostel bed and scrolling the YouTube shorts.

Weather
Here, I can't feel the freshness of the bathing. Because after the shower, I immediately start sweating. Every day I am going to my class with my sweaty face, my mentor also asked about that yesterday. Actually, I have done my bachelor's degree in Coimbatore. Now, think about my situation. I enjoyed the breezy climate days in Coimbatore. Why am I saying this? There are only two months (March and May) when the weather is hot in Coimbatore.

So, these are my struggles in Chennai currently. Thank you for reading my blog. I'll let you know my upcoming blogs if I overcome these struggles or not and how I overcome them.
