Back home to UK after a super hectic 10 day trip to Chennai, India.
* ‘Dining Street’ restaurant in LHR Terminal 4 is real bad. They took us 40 minutes to get our order of baked beans on toast. Saved few more potential customers from the misery by telling them of the above.
* Jet Airways is good. Wouldn’t mind flying with them again.
* I am continued to be impressed by Mumbai Airport. I know how it was in early 2000s and how it is now. This is one of the places where one can witness the magic of privatisation.
* Lemon Tea that is being sold in Domestic Terminal @ Mumbai is obnoxiously expensive as well as pathetic.
* When we landed in Chennai airport, some people were pointing their mobile phone cameras and clicking photographs. It was then I noticed that actress Tamanna was walking right behind us. She looks pretty much like how she appears in movies.
* In this short trip, I managed to donate a unit of blood for a 12 year old girl fighting for her life. When my sister was getting married in 48 hours, spending 4 hours for anything else was out of question, but this one gave me immense satisfaction.
* I travelled in OMR for the first time and I am not at all impressed.
* Chennai weather was very, very pleasant in the one week I stayed there.
…. More later. Need to catch up on sleep.
Dear Chakra,
I did my schooling in TBM area.As far as my memory goes, Tambaram Sanatorium – unmanned level crossing remains as it is for over the years. I got married to Vijay who is from chitlapakkam area. My FIL was a motorman in Southern Railway. He used to tell me that, during night times, many people have been killed by speeding trains there itseems.
Ellam Avan Seyyal
Cheers
Priya

Yes, PK. I made a one week trip to Chennai. I wanted to call you like I did once before – as a surprise. But I didn’t make note of your number and didn’t find time to access the net. It would have been a great opportunity to meet up.
