The weekend so far has been quite a mix of things… Shopping, Long Drives, A walk in the park and finally a great movie - Rock On! Way to go…
Visited Madhar Sha in Purasawalkam. No matter how the face of Chennai changes, purasawalkam still remains the same. Going back to Kilpauk took me down the memory lane of how I started work again in Chennai as a Customer Relationship Manager. I worked in Kilpauk. The quiet lane which was situated bang in between purasawalkam and poonnamalee high road. Wow! Those were some days. Madhar Sha was quite run down but it attracts a huge crowd. Maybe because of Diwali Shopping Crowds in the area. Bought a beautiful two tone purple silk saree for the wife. I loved the colour. Silk has its own magic. Prices were very reasonable which was why wifey dearest wanted to get to Madhar Sha. Since I was not the one who was driving, I had no problems. Customer Service in Madhar Sha really needs to improve. Apart from that, men’s clothing didn’t appear to have a range of brands.
After a longish chat with my knowledgeable bro-in-law, we started our way back to my house. The long drive in the afternoon along the by-pass road which connects Tambaram and Anna Nagar is an experience to relish. Driving at 110 Kmph along almost perfect roads is still a possibility in Chennai. Too damn bad I didn’t lug along my camera.
There is a newly constructed park in Rajakilpakkam which has become the favourite haunt of evening walkers, energetic kids, badminton players and it even has its own pani puri wallah. I was very impressed with the park. I’m thinking of getting my lazy ass down there more often. It is superbly maintained with markers on the distance that walkers have walked. It also has a cool fountain right in the centre. Taking a few shots of it definitely goes into my list of things to do. I’ll share the pics with you guys when I get to do that.
Finally I went and watched a great movie - Rock On! It was not really a movie. Rather, it was a documentary which takes you down the life of 4 cool guys and their lives. Sentiments, superb music, hate, love, friendship, fights(if you can call it that), rivalry, relationships and much more. You name it. It had it. Very nice movie.
And now, its time to hit the sack. I am fully content with how the first day of my week-end has gone so far. See you soon guys.
