Deadline woes
Tourists say that Chennai's "a yawn". It's too hot by day, and too dead at night. So they pack up and move on. With their dollars, pounds and yen.
Multinationals find the city "boring" and thus unattractive because it "lacks entertainment."
Raves come back into fashion. Chennai-style raves, more about drugs than music. Totally uncontrolled and held on quiet beaches.
People feel dressing up, heading to a club and then paying entry is "just not worth the effort" anymore. They stay home instead. Club revenue drops drastically — for the clubs and for the Government, which earns from the taxes.
The "rich kids" party anyway, at private beach houses. And cases of irresponsible drunken driving down the East Coast Road mount.
Bootleggers have a field day. They raise prices after midnight, and charge even more for "home delivery."
Clubs, desperate for revenue, get less choosy about guests, allowing in "undesirable elements", who end up causing trouble.
Youngsters end up driving to Bangalore or Hyderabad to party because both cities seem to "totally, like, rock" in comparison to now-staid Chennai.
