Had been to Chennai over the weekend. Over all the trip and stay there was very nice. Traveling in Shatabdi express was as comfortable as traveling in a flight. As soon as we board into the train the crew will start serving the welcome drinks, mineral water, snack dineer etc.. one after another. The coach was well maintained and it took less that 5 hours to reach Chennai. The train started some 20 min later than the scheduled departure time and reached 10 min earlier that the scheduled arrival time.

Hiran came to pick me up and it had drizzled there to welcome me. The cloudy whether and cool winds spared the notorious Chennai heat for me. Visited the chennai hangout places like City Centre (aka Lifestyle mall), Satyam theatre and Spenzer Plaza. Somehow I felt the Chennai crowd has more liveliness than the Bangalore crowd. I didn't feel every unknow pesrson as an alien. Also, from Hiran I learned that every theatre should be charging only Rs.10 for first row seats - Thats the govt ruling it seems. Also, the tickets rates are not exoberent like in Bangalore. The full cushion seated theatre in Satyam Charges maximum 110

Then something really misearable happened yesterday. I had lunch at Mary Brown (Chicken Burger) inside the pensor Plaza and since evening I started having loose motion. Today morning I started vomitting also. In the return training, I was almost doing shuttle service between my seat and toilet. But till then I was not sure what caused all this catastrophe.

Back in the home I told about this to Nidhin and his first question was did eat at Mary Brows. Heck. He had the same experience when he went to Chennai for the first time it seems. Hell with Mary Brown. Where can I complain about their food.
