Chennai visit....

(Actually feeling like writing an essay coming back to school after summer vacation :P :) but will write some things that I observed, some funny, some special... etc etc to this weekend's Chennai visit)
After having decided to visit Chennai and attend friend's engagement we board ourselves into train at around 11:30. We reached there(Chennai central) Saturday early morning by 5:30. Even at that time it was so hot that I could imagine how much temperature will be at 12 noon!(It was like burning a skin literally!)
As the engagement was on Sunday we had one complete day to roam around in the City! We asked the bus details to her parent's and uncle(at whose place we were staying) and at 11am we found ourselves onto road with a Sun ready to kill us(I mean it!)
First we went to Egmore museum and saw 'National art gallery' section and went to a place famous for shopping called T. nagar! For lunch we decided a place called 'Sarvana Bhavana'. I ordered 'Sarvana Bhavana special meal' (South Indian meal)with 29 items!!! gosh!! Lovely food!(Just reminded 'Durvankur thali' in Pune).
Then we went to shopping place and at around 4:30 we left for Marina beach world's second longest beach! No need to tell that we had lotta fun there in sea water!
We returned back to her uncle's place at 8:30pm.
Then night we spent in putting Hena for the girl! obviously the next day how can we get up early? But the family we were staying at was quite orthodox.. and follw customs(they were small small like can't eat anything before taking bath etc.) So we were bit concious about our behavior every time(We have to be!! )
Then we had a lunch at 10:30(yes! that was lunch only coz we ll be eating our dinner at 5 or 6 after ceremony :P)
The ceremony was as expected very traditional and had lots of flowers for putting in hair.. The meal was also good(again in Banana leaves!). Feelling of 'Anna he purnabhrahma!' again touched to heart.. And we returned back to Banglore this morning!
Aah one thing.. As we had herd that those people won't talk in Hindi(or hardly). While coming back I just turned on some radio station in Chennai. Surprisingly it had a show call 'Let's learn Hindi'. The lady was translating small small words and sentences in hindi from English. 'I am learning Hindi.. Hum hindi sikate(yeah n not sikhate :P) hai.. I am teaching Hindi.. Main hindi sikati hun.. lol..'
