Chennai Trip Details..

Here comes the post with chennai details..

Boarded Lalbagh express at 6:45 a.m. I hate travelling at night as I could not get the little sleep whatever I get. So started in the morning. Reached Chennai Central railway station by 12:45 P.M.

Went to mamblam in a local train and the first thing i did after reaching my friends' room was to take bath. Chennai is infamous for hotness and sweat and I started to feel that when I was 50 KM away from Chennai. After bath took a great lunch at one of the near by Andhra Mess' and man its too good. Bangalore is lacking in Andhra Mess' comparatively. Took rest for some time and when I was wondering how to go to the Reception venue (Green Park, Vadapalani), one of my college friends who is in chennai came to the room. He also is attending the marriage with his wife (they both are NITWians and their's was a love marriage..). So Went to the reception with his help..

So the next day was friday and all of my friends had to go to office..So what did I do..Of course did not sit idle..Went to Mahabalipuram alone with a camera.

Above is the shore temple in Mahabalipuram. As the name suggests it is on the shore where Tsunami hit the life hard. Thanx to the care taken it still survived..

Me on horse at Mahabalipuram. You can mount a horse with Rs.30. I was thrilled to mount it and did. Man..its not easy to ride a horse and its not that enjoyable as it seems.. I was afraid and asked him to stop :-(. He told NO. You have to do the full thing..So enjoyed this too.

The above is the light house in Mahabalipuram..I think the kings used it to see long distances and find out about their enemies..A good technique in those days.

There are alot of other snaps too..

The next day was saturday and we all woke up by 10 AM. Took good biryani as dinner and went out. We went to Marina beach and the new Chennai Citi Centre.
