Ciao Chennai
40 degree sweltering heat. Curse inducing humidity. Urine stenched pavements. Unscrupulous auto drivers. konjum munnadi ponga!
Electric trains. Dazzling gold jewellery. Multi coloured saris. bright yellow sambar.
Running for stories. Editing till midnight. Hyperlinking till squint.
Peach ice tea at Kodambakkam. Spontaneous drives to Mahabalipuaram. Chatting till midnight. Stealing from Mocha. Weekends at 6B. Some of the best friends I ever had.
Dreading the end. Accepting the end. Missing the best ten months of my life.
Jeez… This is one of those posts that you want to comment about in a wise, sage, beard-strokey manner (think Sadanand Menon), and don’t find anything to say. Man, how I miss ACJ… Come back to Chennai man… and bring everyone else from ACJ along… We’ll overthrow this year’s batch, and take over Kasturi Centre. And rule the world from there or something.
