Poompuhar / Chennai Sangamam are good places in Madras, as Chandrachoodan mentioned. Why don't you take the train over for a quick trip? [its not worth flying ATR prop planes and standing an hour ++ in line waiting for security at either airport] Some of us can take you to a few places. And you can ship back large pieces on trains without being hit with excess baggage charges.
