ADIEU CHENNAI

6^th Sep 2006 Time 6:10, Nampally Railway Station, Hyderabad.

I am mobbed with my friends in the train compartment.  They came to say bye to me, while I am heading to Chennai in the search of my destiny. With lot of fears in my mind, boarded the train started slowly. It was the time I have taken the decision to come back to Hyderabad within one year as I heard loads of myths about Chennai and thought can’t live without my friends & Hyderabad.

21^st March 2011 Time 9:50 PM @My Home, Thiruvanmiyur, Chennai.

I am writing this post with a painful heart to say Good-bye to Singara Chennai. Yeah keep a side whatever you would have heard about Chennai. May be Climate, Humid, People whatever the crap you heard.

Today is my last day in Chennai. On my way to home after a trip in Pondycherry with my best mates , I was trying to remember all the good moments in my Chennai life ; like I do whenever I see a bride leaving her parents’ house forever; whenever I watch an emotional scene in a movie – I do so to fight back tears…

Human mind is complex. Isn’t it?

I remember those early morning I try to resemble Tamil conversations of Autowallah’s with equivalent Telugu words and trying to understand. I use to start a conversation with the Auto Drivers whom I am travelling with by asking “Ungal Fav Hero MGR  aa?” (After seeing the MGR photograph in the Auto). You should see those sparkling eyes and enthusiastic voice of him and starts explaining about MGR. J. Some times “Thalaivar movie eppudi iruku?”. You can hear a very good movie review from him.

Those early mornings, when my taste buds hunger of soft idly, sambar , Ravva Dosai and the filter coffee’s bitterness.

I remember Adyar roads, Pondycherry Trips and crowded T-Nagar with full of life. Ranganathan Street, where you need to walk to move and stunning East Coast Road rides.

Guys…you make me to stay till these years, it was really nice to be with you and I am going to miss you all. I mean it. I really mean it. I have led an independent life with you – living on my own, with nobody from my past life. Sometimes it used to be fun. Staying out till midnight @office, sleeping till late in the morning, eating junk foods often….. Sometimes my heart used to yearn for the gentle touch of a caring. Then you have silently consoled me with your actions resembles me soft morning breeze and a tender wind in the evening. You guys are really wonderful and the best people I have met till now. You have your own charisma, mostly invisible – shadowed by too much busy-ness. LOL J. I love you guys. You folks are amazing, brains and witty.

I am going to miss the Friday Photo sessions, Food@Ascendas, Bakshi stuff, pulling each other’s legs, Ho.. Prog…,   Pirates, Bella Ciao evenings, riding behind Mano’s bike(man… you are the one crazy, amazing **** guy J), arguments with Naveen, tongue-in-cheek Sudarsan, similar wavelength of Renjish, Siva’s speeches, Macha’s innocence,  Madhu’s timing analysis, Anoops smiles, Andhra mess, tea time discussions of Ilaya Thalapathi performances, Thalaivar styles, EPL games (LMAO), Rolland Garros reviews, Sachin centuries and what not.

There were loads loads loads of fun.

Chennai-ah no..Singara Chennai- This is the place where I have had best of my life, the friends whom I can never afford to miss, the place which I started liking despite a strong opposition from inner-self. I have most beautiful evenings of my life in Thiruvanmiyur beach. Well my wife likes the beach walks in the moonlight on the sand of Bay of Bengal on full moon days. May be we should not trust anything till we see; Chennai is such kind of a place.

At the end of this writing I am stopping my tears. Yeah yeah I know guys that’s Girl’s stuff LOL J

Going a part is always painful.

I am leaving this time with a great desire to comeback.

I am leaving you guys with all good wishes in world for you.

Ciao guys..

Good Bye Chennai
