I can very safely call it the "Chennai 2012", as I go there only once a year for one or two days, and it is enough for an entire year. I have never bothered to extend my stay even for an hour. I go there to worship my Guru, and He is the only factor that takes me to Chennai.
Chennai is a city that changes itself often. Even if you live there for a decade, you can still be new there. Its extreme climatic condition makes visiting there an unforgettable experience. This trip, including my mom a lot of close friends have fallen terribly ill.
This year, I was busy traveling elsewhere and didn't bother accompanying mom to buy the Chennai tickets. Neither did I bother to know the dates, as I know for sure that no matter where in the world I am, I will definitely make it to the annual worship. So when I get to know the dates, I realize we are leaving Chennai the next day!
The first thing I want to do is to meet my two dear friends there, and we made a plan to meet. If you would like to know what exactly happened throughout the meet, read N's perspective of the meet. (I am sure you will love reading it)
Don't ask me why suddenly I have started loving the beach again, but I just happened to love it the way I used to long back. Hence it was me who insisted on going to the beach. And I just realized that we had a brownie to substitute a cake.
Time just FLEW. Talking nonsense, seeing a not very useful person, and doing so many useless things was compensated by knowing more about photography, photographs, Govind's camera, and posing for Nandhini and Govind's camera. (After reading my previous post, Govind asks me, oh by the way who is the G in that post of yours knowing well that it is him! I don't know why he chooses to act funny at times)
The time was well spent, and I didn't regret my extended stay as meeting Nandhini and Govind was such a pleasure.
My opinion about Chennai- It is a city that has its own charm in several ways, I was talking to Sri Ram the other day about Carnatic music, the way it is in Hyderabad and the way it is in Chennai. Both of us who extremely dislike Chennai could not disagree that Chennai is indeed better than Hyderabad in many ways.
The first time I actually enjoyed Chennai was when I went shopping with my cousin. There was SO much in the city. If it were less polluted, and had a more tolerable weather, I would infact love living there. Now that my work doesn't demand me to live there, I am extremely happy.
But for the above two, you can certainly find a lot of reasons why Chennai can be a good place to live.
I am glad that this visit has ended on a nice note, and I am looking forward to visiting it next year. And before that I am waiting to have Nandhini and Govind at Hyderabad.
PS: Govind has now got eatalian poisoning.

This write-up on Chennai from your perspective is really interesting. Amusing. :) Yes, there's Carnatic Music here and the Couum too - all in one place. That's Chennai. I'm looking forward to meeting you in Hyderabad sometime this year, before you come to Chennai once more. And our trip sheet/ plans are still in progress, remember! :)(this is a different one that I'm talking about)
I enjoyed meeting you and Govind this time. Loved every bit of it, though the time slippage did cost me on my way back home. Who was that not-very-useful person? Mrs. A.K?
Govind has got Eatalican poisoning? Seriously?
After reading my previous post, Govind asks me, oh by the way who is the G in that post of yours knowing well that it is him! I don't know why he chooses to act funny at times.
- hehe! He just chose to act as if he doesn't know. He wants to hear it from you that it's him. Not from just via reading. :)
Another special thing about this trip is that this is the first time I have ever been enthusiastic to pose for pics.
Yup our plans are still on. Just hope that they are put to action :)
Yeah Mrs. AK. I had a weird feeling after taking a pic with her. I should have obeyed Govind in not going to meet her.
He was already having a stomach upset. Car le erina odane ve sonnan. He again reminded me of it after ordering the food, and immediately said that food at Eatalica kinda treats him, and makes him feel better. Things then got worse. Now he is better. He should be totally fine by tonight.
I know why he said that :)
Since I am not bashing anyone, I prefer to use your names fully.
It's not exactly name bashing reasons that I gave you alias names. Anjali was what came to my mind immediately while thinking of a name for your part. :)
lol.. i know why Anjali of all as well ;)
