Went for a plant visit today in the afternoon. and left the place in the evening at around 4.30. I actually had no clue as to where I was(cos I never took the trouble of making a note of it when I was taken there). I was jus trying to figure out where on earth I was and then to discovered the means to go home. Finally I jumped to a conclusion of going home by train(a railway station was very close by). Went by walk to the station.(I was really very excited cos this was the first time I was traveling in a domestic plying broad gauge). Little did I know that more surprises were waiting for me when I started out.

As soon as I bought the train ticket, the train came from nowhere and I gladly got into the ladies compartment which halted exactly in front of me. The journey was way too good because the weather was fantastically pleasant today. Just made friends with few of the mallu speaking girls who coincidentally studied the same course as I do.
I had a mixed feeling as I got a seat to sit nearby the window. Looked out at the beautiful sky and enjoyed the cool breeze. Peeped outside the window to see the plastics, paper covers and all junk dumped in the side lanes. That was a bit saddening.

When my station arrived, I was a bit puzzled to find the way OUT. among the crowd stood my 10th standard geography teacher. I was too delighted then jumped on my toes to meet her. Spoke to her for a while and happened to meet another junior of mine (in school) who showed me the way OUT.

Hol(i)yday

This weekend we decided to “stay away from home”. Cos it seemed to me like ages since we went out and spend time together as a family.So this idea sounded inviting(thanks to my dad who broached up this topic!!!). we made up our minds that we would go to the outskirts of Chennai. But then, by the time we finalized our plan we ran out of place to go cos all the resorts we contacted had no vacancy. Then finally after a lot of perplexity we decided to fix up in one(which was out of mere luck that we learnt about the vacancy in that place.) We were thrilled at the last minute progress in the plan. That made us sure of a safe shelter to dwell in.

I got permission to take off that day. We started from my place in the afternoon. It took us an hour and a half to reach our temporary nest. We booked a room there and took a long drive along the east coast road. It was a bit warm and humid but was really enjoyable because of the cool breeze.By evening we were back. In the evening me and my dad strolled in the beach.

the next day dad & myself bathed in the sea. It was really nice cos we hit the beach early in the morning at 6.30. the water was so salty that my eyes started burning when a wave splashed on my face. But that was all too good.

We then went to the pool there. we were at peace there too cos there was none other than me and my folks.

I’ve put up some of de pic taken there……
