Chennai revisitied

I am back to my old bastion albeit a little misplaced, its a little more crowded, noisier and costlier than Tambaram but thats the premium you pay for staying in T Nagar. Chennai is as hot as before but this time I got A/C power and I actually look forward to coming back to my pad unlike last time when we preferred to eat FC food n come back by the latest cab. My room is nice, its got net, an A/c, fridge, attached bath, TV, what else cud i want? I've attached a pic.

Lets see how the work turns out to be, today was the first day, still 2 months to go, our mentor is a bright guy. We're all pretty geared up and determined to meet up to the expectations, lets see how long this enthu lasts.... hopefully long enuff for the project to get over.

I've forgotten watever little Tamil I had learnt then, have to regain that rustic flair to impress random ppl with my broken Tamil especially autowallahs who then decide not to fleece u.

Yesterday saw RDB for the umpteenth time, quite a coincidence that the movie that I associate Chennai with and which I saw at least 5 times in movie halls in Chennai (specifically in Mayajaal n Melody), I get to see again on the fist day of my visit.

There is lots that I wanna see and do now that I am here first on the list is visit Learner's Court, our melting pot - 13 wandering souls that made Tambaram their home after the luxuries of Mysore, who colored T'ram on holi to the horror of the awestruck locals, stormed the local populace with our glam gals, those sure were fun days. Now the last court inhabitant has also abandoned it, but we left behind a legacy of Infoscions that'll continue for a long time to come.

Had it not been so hot a trip to Pondy was definitely called for, the project timelines will also make us rethink that plan but its definitely on the cards.

I gotta get my hands onto some tasty sea food soon plus i havn't had chicken in since yesterday, gotta do something about it, tomorrow i shall put an end to this travesty.

Lot of the T nagar area has changed, I did a ful survey of Pondy Bazaar, Usman Street, Mambalam, V N Road, some parts are the same, some have seen a make over e.g the flyover at Pothys is a breather but the crowds remain. My roomies thought this place is crowded coz their's some festival is coming up, it took some time convinicing them its like this on all weekends.

Ah! good ol' Chennai... what do u have in store for me next?
