...and we step out

A city is about the people that live there. And fun is also, not very surprisingly, about the people you have it with. A long-lost school friend found me on Orkut two days back, and as luck would have it, he is working in Chennai right now. A quick meeting was set up. And after that, it was fun all the way.
Between loads of talking, exchanging gossip and catching up with each other, a few places were visited. The first stop was Zara, a much talked about bar and restaurant, which has been featured very often on a certain blog. A drink in hand, spanish tapas on the table, and Korea vs Togo on the TV screen. It almost felt like a friday!

The next stop was Marina beach. The sight of waves and the sound of water always make me very peaceful. Apparently the tides have such an effect on cancerians. Having said that, I also saw a couple of small crabs around, and that was enough for me to jump up and down the beach, with people giving me the weirdest of stares. Oh c'mon all of you... it doesnt take a cancerian to know how tightly a crab can hold on to your toe if it puts your mind to it!

Finally, dinner was punjabi style (yes... in Chennai!) at Dhaba express. Some very tasty chicken tikka and roomali roti were bitten into, while sitting on charpayis. To say it was great fun, would be an understatement.

I had such a good time, that I just had to post about it, even if it is past midnight. I know photos of Chennai were requested for, but I hope this elaborate mental picture, of the buzzing city that this is, will do. For now. Cheers, to Chennai!
