    Quite a lot actually, if you want to put in a little effort.

    Find a friendly fisherman who will offer you a boat (catamaran/light PVC) ride along the coast Walk down Pondi Bazaar in T Nagar Spend a morning in the Fort Museum inside Fort St. George, and the afternoon at the Bronze Gallery of the Chennai Museum in Egmore. Go to the IIT Madras campus, count deers, walk about the large campus, take photos. Go next doors to the Guindy National Park Hire a car and travel from one end of Mount Road to the other, and from one end of the Beach Road to the other. If one is scheduled around the time you visit, join the Chennai Photowalk

    Start early by going to Besant Nagar beach, follow it up with piping hot breakfast at Sarava Bhavan. Spend the morning at malls like (City center, Spencer's...) . Lunch at Anjappar followed my movie at Sathyam Cinemas. Shop at T Nagar in the evening and finish with Dinner at any of the umpteen restaurants in town.
