a SmAll cYcle in Chennai (8th June 2009 to Aug 2009)

I know I write my blogs lyk an essay without any para breaks etc...which is not too interesting..well as I always mention I write in layman's language which a person of my wave length would understand easily n like it too....

After the hardships & the budget life in the mansion in the streets of Triplicane (Tiruvallikeni) in Chennai I moved in with ma sibling (Big B) to a spacious apartment in a residential area right next to Aiyappa temple..Helped him set up his new house as all I had to do was the purchasing as it was all sponsored by him.Helped him buy 2nd hand a/c's for all the rooms (excluding the bathrooms), picked up a washing machine, colorful curtains, a king sized double bed etc etc...and started living a royal life thereon...Just sponsored a month's provision for me to stay there n freak out as a fee;)..Also had an American who was ma sibling's business partner staying with us and not to forget a young bud called Raaghul whose Honda Civic we used to freak out in as ma bro dsnt know how to drive motor cars;)...I walk up a kilometre everyday in the morning to the busstop (Periyar Road) to board a crowded 25G. Love the footboard travel decked up in a formal attire with a real moustache..The bus is as usual way over crowded with office goin staffs decked up , ladies chirping and arguing or fighting with the conductor , observing all of em quietly used to be my only source of entertainment during my 20 mins bus journey up to Royapettah hospital..At times also got lucky to witness the songs of the NEW college guys who used to be hanging in the front footboard singing and having a gala time..Half the time I never could have breakfast due to my luxurious 8 hours of sleep and then the suryanamaskaaram n yoga for 5 mins..(Don;t get shocked I havent become so active n good so early too)...I again used to walk up 1/2 a k.m after a 20 mins joyous ride with people shouting their lungs out for the ticket , then to tender exact change n women shouting for men falling on them;) etc...and there starts a real day at work wherein I have a good set of people around to work with of various kinds n ages...Client meets, client briefs..my creative inputs for the Ads, briefing the same to the creative art team n visualizers etc...The perk here was I got an autorickshaw with a chauffer to go for the client meets..Had real fun loafing the city around in a 3 wheeler with literally hot air blowin in my face..I always used to buy chilled water packets on my way back to office and always ensured offered a packet to the auto driver who had the control of my life during the auto ride;)...There comes the EOD at 7pm and again I start my bus journey back to heaven (Mahalingapuram) which is less ineteresting as the college crowd already would have reached home n headed to their respective tea shops, bike garages, snooker parlours & the rest of the hang outs;) Thats when I had to use my earphones n transformed myself from my regular Eddie Vedder, Bruce Springsteen, Syd Barrett, Floyd songs to the Chennai FM just for a change..thou i hardly liked the songs but the wannabe rj's used to be fun to listen to n take a walk back hme n have a regular glass of tang to chill maself from the sweat....but once I am back in the a/c bedroom in tht nice 10 inch spring bed..i feel lyk heaven until my big b shouts n makes me make chapatis for the sabji which he already would have cooked (So nice he is at times)...Day cums to an end for me @ 12 or may be later cuz I land up squeezing some tym to catch a good movie in ma bro's laptop again as I dnt wna own one so soon...In between all of this I always miss my AttemTeD sUiCide ((my royal enfield) the most..Used to gape at each and every bullet passingby during my footboard travel in the buses. Didi do a lil bidda nite outs with ma bro's buddies , drove down to THE PARK & RESIDENCY , a coupla good places n also met the Tamil Actresses Trisha & Ramya Krishnan in there fortunately or Unfortunately;)..Life is movin on good with hardly any complaints so far....


Shall continue my story soon as its tym to grab a byte now or else my rotis go cold n numb;)....
