Today marked an exciting day as our diverse group of friends embarked on a visit to Ritchie Street, Mount Road, the bustling hub of mobile technology in Chennai. Accompanied by friends from Ethiopia, Genia, Niger, and our usual Bhutanese trio, we were set for a day filled with technology exploration and unexpected surprises.
Ritchie Street, located on Mount Road in Chennai, is renowned as a technological haven, particularly famous for its mobile hubs. This vibrant marketplace is a melting pot of electronic gadgets, accessories, and, most notably, a plethora of mobile devices. From the latest smartphones to laptops and smartwatches, Ritchie Street caters to the tech-savvy needs of a diverse clientele.
Our journey began with an Uber ride that cost us Rs. 350 for a one-way trip. The rain showered mildly, adding a refreshing touch to the atmosphere as we eagerly anticipated the treasures awaiting us at Ritchie Street. The group comprised three of us from Bhutan, two friends from Ethiopia, one from Genia, and another from Niger, creating a harmonious blend of cultures and perspectives.
