The weekend started off early this time since we got a holiday on Thursday!So an excellent start to a cooler month.now a holiday comes after a long long time and was certainly more than welcome!
Wednesday evening was fun-long drive with Sam n JJ andwe almost lost our way more than couple of times!we chatted quite a bit, though we found gaps wondering how to fill it up and Sam was too busy with his office calls.it was particulary fun to rest on the rocks and enjoy the cool breeze of the evening and more fun was filling Sam's car with all the beach sand! :-)
Thursday was a slow start,watched tennis matches in the afternoon and then we went to Arabian Ice City at the Convention Hall.The place was actually for kids since its part of the DSS and the entrance fee was actually not worth it for adults.the place was made primarily of thermocol to give it the 'ice' look.there was just one room with ice sculptures and that was pretty cold with the temperature to maintain ice.other areas we went to were the IceSlide(nothing great) and the horror maze where 1 guy managed to make me scream! :-( for kids there were a lot of rides,magic shows,some games etc .so we got out of the place in less than an hour,stopped at an adjacent hall where electronic goods were sold at mad prices!most families were buying 1 DVD player,hence the place was really packed!
On the way back home,we stopped at a restaurant called Chutneys,hmmmm i wouldnot recommend the place to any.Though they served a variety of chutneys they were just not good enough to try out again.
Friday morning we were off to the temple and the crowd was quite a bit though we managed to reach at 0630 hrs.After breakfast at the Saravana Bhavan I slept after some reading.Caught up with the US Open in the afternoon and then a Jeff Corwin show done in India mainly at Rajasthan,Maharastra and Chennai areas.I didnt know of the monkey and the rat temples earlier,or the cobra competition in the villages.The most amazing snake however was the vile green snake-its bright color and so slim that you would just think of it as part of the plant and head in the shape of a leaf!
Evening drive was fun !
I am looking forward to a busy month with classes resuming soon which meant long days ahead.Fingers crossed for my assignment grade!man,i am tensed about it.
Wish u a good month!
Happy B'day SB,SJ!
Apologies,Sam. didn't mean to sound nasty!
