late night rambling !!

So here I am in Chennai FINALLY after a looong gap of five seriously long months...though this five month period had three 31 day months, Feb came to my rescue and made it even..

I always feel so much at home just stepping into the lounge of Kamaraj Airport, which btw is supposedly renovated. However I feel the main lounge has become only more crampy, considering whatever little I am able to recall of my joyous airport visits during childhood, to see off dear & close ones..may be its because as a child, airport visits were a luxury and a rare event and the airport dimensions had a multiplier effect...and then now the pre-paid taxi service has made life so easy that in an ideal scenario, it jus takes max 5 mins to hit the road - adjustments for luggage handling, queue etc have to be done practically...nevertheless well organized !!

Chennai welcomed me with a nice cool breeze (I was coming from Mumbai, so its all relative)..was damn tired and wanted to doze off for sometime in the cab, but the cabbie made sure IT DOESNT HAPPEN !! it was clear that, for him, Chennai road seemed like a Monaco race track..had a lighthearted chat with him and said "yetho signal irukkardhunaala vandi nikkudhu!!", meaning "if not for the signals the cab would continue its juggernaut"..nehow he got offended I said that, and took it as a personal comment on his professional skills..

This time even though my visit to Chennai is really SHORT, so many things happen and yet again I seem to have something interesting to say or pen down !! bless BLOGS!! My cozin jus got married and I am so happy for him...to cut a long story short - CUPID JUST L-O-V-E-S OUR FAMILY !!!!!

And here's the weekend and I should give it to my appa for somehow magically making me watch late night Doordarshan classics ..before watching there's a dog fight to change the channel to some very stale tamil comedy and movies that is bound to be watched the umpteenth time..but at the end of the day you would thank someone like my father to knock in some taste for sensible movies (this time it was Girish Karnad's 1970's Kannada movie, "Tabbaliyu Neenade Magane") ..my college friend who is a self acclaimed film afficianado, rates my movie taste at GRADE 'B' with himself obviously at 'A'...thankfully my ratings should increase now (as though I give a damn neways..LOL)

As much as I am loving to continue writing this blog, the image of vengaya vetha kuzhambu, lemon rasam, appalam, kathrika podi curry, which amma has promised for Sunday grand brunch is so inspiring me to sleep - so that 90% of the next 10 hours should fly past quickly. Less cruel haan, wat say !!

HOME SWEET HOME !!!

Tchus !!
