Trolling aside, I had spent a good week in and around Chennai. I was deputed 'on site' for Trouble Shooting a 'Sizer' equipment (which is normally used to separate different sizes of sugar), which my company supplied to a big Sugar plant in Villupuram.. So here I was, in Chennai, having no idea how to go to Villupuram (a nice, sleepy town on the way to Pondicherry). I was asked to go to our Chennai based sales office to 'get further instructions and also get some funds for my expenses' (Oh the pleasures of working on site, you have to experience it). The Autowallah scammed me from Railway station to 'locate my Sales office', but I eventually reached there and was happy to meet the Manager (typical Madrasi dude, wearing suite and having chandan on his forehead.. okay, not typical..). He gave me all the instructions, moolah (which I was happy get my hands on) and an assitant to drop me off to the bus station on my way to Villupuram. Travelling in a TN State bus is also a nice experience. In the heat I was only looking forward to the glimpses of sea, which appear when you travel on the TN East coast road towards Pondicherry. I had no idea where to get off (The Sugar plant & the guest house was in the outskirts of Villupuram). But had already spoken with the bus conductor and he dropped me exactly near the guest house. The stay in Villupuram, in the Guest house, working in the Sugar Plant, getting your work done using cortract workers, is another story. There were not many food options in the guest house but it was a comfortable stay. Got my job done before time (didn't knew much about Chidambaram, whose plant it was, else I would've kept the job pending.. :mad:), made a quick trip to Pondycherry. On my way back, spent a day in Chennai, saw a Tamil movie in a Multiplex theatre, bought some nice bargain Kanjiwaram sarees from Nelli (a famous shop), ate as much as possible all sorts of Southern food and came back happily. My Mother, MIL & Wife were delighted to get excellent Kanjiwaram Sarees. All in all it was nice and happy trip. Given a chance I would again go back to Chennai, Villupuram, Pondicherry for a nice trip.
