Have been very busy traveling a lot of places once my darned exams were over.
The first destination was Thanjavur, where my friend Karthick lives. He invited me to visit his place and the vagabond that I am, how could i refuse that one. So went to his place which is a very ancient town comprising of a lot of archaic temples and a very old library. The grandeur of architecture of the temples and the palace was just amazing. The old library has some of the rarest palm-manuscripts and books in its collection, but it was really sad to see the dilapidated condition of these national literary treasures. From Thanjore went to Vellangini, which has the twin claim-to-fame of having the most revered catholic church in India and the place which was worst affected by the Tsunami. We guys spent more time in the beach there then in the church.
Back to Chennai.
The next pit stop was the Maximum city --- Mumbai. The city of dreams, wealth, glitz and glamour and where the word global-village finds its true meaning. This time it was the get together of we 4 school friends after a long interval of 4 years. The trip was spicy, exciting and eventful. We had a blast during that time. The sojourn was over even before we could settle down the excitement of being together after such a long period. Anyway as every good thing comes to an end we were filled with the anticipation of our next rendezvous.
Halt in Chennai for 1 night..
