Chennai Redux
It has been almost 2 months that I came back to Chennai with some really big plans. I wanted to travel, go back to the old hangouts and do a lot of other stuff. Lets see what exactly have I done the past one month..
• Paid visit to Bikes, 10 D and Zara’s almost religiously every weekend ( some weekdays too when they had ladies night, guilty as charged)
• Went to the book fair next to my office almost on a daily basis and bought another box full of books (but this time I m proud of being the frugal and all that because I bought second hand books and I am proud of every last one of them)
• Tried a lot of new restaurants than to the great foodie P, who is currently on a liquid diet ( fruits, bread and dal are also liquids if you dint know)
• Had an awesome weekend in Blore where all I did was hop from one pub to another and found my favourite place Pico’s (Lynyrd Skynyd and Led Zep in the background when you are having a nice breakfast is just priceless)
• Surveys, ohh how can I forget the surveys, went to almost all the 5, 4, 3 Star hotels in the city, from the wonderful Sheraton to the questionable Vijay Park (where I actually thought that they deal pot among other things)
• Had a reunion in Bikes with PM and S which ended rather weirdly ( S if you even try to make fun of this I am going to kill you)
• Had the best terrace party with some really nice music on the side when PM gave her gyan about life and other disasters
• Found a new SB
• Actually allowed someone else to cook ( this is indeed a big step for me)
I know that this list looks actually pretty lame when I compare with the actual to-do list I made before coming to Chennai but its not that bad and I still am in love with the city however awful the weather is.
This was not the kind of summer I expected but when did things happen the way we want them to happen. Time is almost running out and I am scared to death about going back to Hell. Lots of things have changed and I learnt a lot of things during this sojourn. I learnt that I can never save in my life ever and that I should try not to depend on people.
P.S. I should thank S before closing this one, it’s because of her I am still sane and sometimes make the right choices (not always but mostly).
