Chennai Trip - Day 3

On day 3, my didi had great plans for me. We were going on the pleasure trip “Chennai Darshan”. We have already booked online tickets for Chennai trip on hand. The whole trip was called “HOP-ON HOP-OFF TOUR” which was organized by Tamilnadu Tourism. We caught the tourist bus from Tamilnadu Tourist Complex near triplicane. The whole schedule for the trip was like that, we were to visit Marundeeswarar Temple, VGP ( an amusement park), MGM (an amusement park), Dakshinchitra, Crocodile Bank, Sea Lion Show, Muttukadu Boat House and finally Beach Resort Complex mamallapuram.

We first visited Marundeeswarar Temple. The temple was very beautiful. South India is known for good sculptural temples. South Indian temples have different look, different design which touches the eternal soul of our mind. Then we have decided to go for mamallapuram. The beach at mamallapuram is breath taking. It was pure blue. I thought that I have come to Bahamas where the shooting of movie BLUE was done. We wanted to be there only for some time but the burning hot weather forced us to vacate the place as soon as possible.

Next we visited dolphin city to watch the sea lion show. The show was of 15 minutes. We have seen an American seal there whose performance amused us a lot. From there we moved our self to muttukadu boat house. Hmm but we did not have the patience to go for boating there because we feared to loose our body’s electrolytic balance. The obvious reason was burning hot weather. To recharge our body we rested there for a moment and moved our self to Lake Side restaurant. We collected our ordered Chicken Biryani and Coke bottles. We enjoyed our meals there.

After that we visited VGP “Universal Kingdom Amusement park” which was our next destination. VGP is a popular retreat that offers exciting ranges of amusement rides for everyone in the family. It is a heaven like place for the young ones like us. We have gone for many rides there like London bull. One of my great experiences at VGP was a ride called “TWISTER”. I tell you that ride was awesome. Actually it was a 4D Theater which has all length, breath and depth as well as effect dimensions in it. In that ride we have shown a small movie related to spaceship. Finally we returned to home at 8:30 PM that day. Time for packing my bags because the very next day I had to catch my return train from Chennai to Gaya.

Next morning I caught my train for Gaya from Chennai Egmore which was at 7:30 AM. After boarding the train I felt somewhat relaxed because I heard some people talking in Hindi. On my whole trip to Chennai I was dying to hear Hindi and finally on my return journey I heard that. My return journey was fine but it took almost 41 hours for me to reach Gaya. The train was late by 3.5 hours that was really disgusting.

Okay friends that was the whole story of my Chennai trip.

Catch you later.

Chennai Trip - Day 2

Hii friends,

On Day 2 we had decided to visit the largest mall of Chennai that is “EXPRESS AVENUE”. Evening is the only time in which you can roam in chennai, because of its hot climate . At 4’O clock in the evening we reached the mall EXPRESS AVENUE. When I entered the mall I could think of only few words that was HUGE, ENORMOUS, MAGNIFICENT etc. It was Sunday and there was a lot of traffic on roads of Chennai. I was very much surprised to see that mall was crowded. I thought for some time that the whole Chennai people have accumulated to that place to celebrate some grand event. I thought as if every corner and every inch of the mall building was pleading me “trahiii maam , trahiii maam” ( in English:” please forgive me!!! Please forgive me”). We were surprised to see the pathetic plight of the mall building. The crowd can be compared with the crowd at “KUMBH MELA” of Allahabad.

Anyways, the mall was huge. You could have got every thing of your need over there. Just name it- pantaloons, Peter England, Black cherry, Levi’s, Allen solly, Allen cooper, Spykar, Lee solly, Louis London, Habib everything. We had a gr8 time over there. It would take almost a whole day to see every corner of the mall. Though Chennai is a metropolitan city but it comes to halt after 10’ O clock. After that we caught the returning bus at 9:30 PM. That’s the second day at Chennai.

Chennai Trip - Day 1

Mastii Time @ Marina Beach

Hii again

My first day at chennai has started quite late because I woke up at 9' O clock in the morning. My didi had plans to visit many places of chennai but our whole plans got shattered. The very obvious reason for this was the very very hot climate of chennai. It was so hot out there at chennai that we have canceled our morning plans. After that we have decided to visit marina beach and a beautiful mall "CITY CENTER" of chennai. At 3:40 PM we caught the bus No: 27L from mogapair to Marina Beach. The transport system of chennai is mind blowing especially the bus service. You can get all kinds of buses including semi deluxe, deluxe and A/C buses suiting your pocket, connecting many places of chennai. It took almost 1.5 hours to reach at marina beach. The beauty of the beach was gr8. I love sea beaches. They are really gr8 place for meditation for me. I have visited many beaches like Puri beach, Konark beach, RK beach and Rishikonda Beach of Vizag but the view of marina beach was very different. At marina beach , I found that beach was enormously crowded and it was some what dirty. We have enjoyed a lot at beach. We have taken a lot of snaps over there. The beach experience was really gr8 for us.

After completing the beach show, we visited "CITY CENTER" mall which is just at a walking distance from there. The exterior design of the mall was marvelous. We have done shopping over there. The main point of interest for me there was the “FOOD COURT”. It contain the outlets for all the major food brands like PIZZA HUT, KFC, Café Coffee Day, Mc Dy, Arabian Treats etc. We have enjoyed our ordered French Fries and Double Cheese Pizza. It was gr8. At 9:30 pm we caught the bus back to our home. That’s the end of my first day at Chennai.
