Sorroundings enroute Chennai-Delhi
Sorroundings enroute Chennai-Delhi
Pretty dry sorroundings......
Woke up around 7:30am and I was told we were in an area called “Warangal”. Small hills and paddy fields everywhere; surrounding looked very dry. After brushing my teeth, yes I had to do “something” which I have not done in an Indian train or for that matter a train anywhere in the world…. now my ass is rated for Indian trains as well…hahahahah (alright will spare the details)…during the process however I did loose my toothbrush which was in my denim front pocket….don’t ask me how, you got to be a gymnast to obtain the Indian train ra [View Full Entry]

Colombo-Chennai

Tirusulam local train station
Tirusulam local train station
This is the local train station that you get as soon as you cross the road in front of the Chennai airport !!!
Colombo - Chennai by Air Date: 10th January 2006 Time: 0800 Airline: Srilankan Airlines Distance: 386 nautical miles Time: 1 hour Cost: LKR20,200 Meal: Scramble eggs with masala potato (Breakfast) The trip to the airport was uneventful apart from random people trying to cross the road and oncoming traffic with headlights completely blinding you which is always the case. I am still amazed at the transformation that had taken place at the Colombo airport with aerobridges. My sister’s friend Ruvina at SriLankan ground handling checked me in. The flight to MAA left at 8:15am a [View Full Entry]

Temples of Angkor

 Asia » Cambodia » North » Angkor
I was in Siam Reap from the 21st - 24th September 2005 The temples were in a very large area. I would recommend people to go cycling on Day 1 do the mini circuit and and take a tuk tuk on Day 2 and do the grand circuit. On the 3rd day the Roule temples and the Tonle Sap lake....the floating market....however I feel the USD10 they charge is a little outrageous.... Tha landmine museum is not so big but I feel its worth a visit for the cause...there are many kids whose legs have got blown off and its nice [View Full Entry]

Kidnapping in Colombo !!!!

 Asia » Sri Lanka » Colombo
The kidnapping in Colombo !!!!! On the 1st of January 2003, I was driving back from Negombo to Colombo with my mum, sisters and Maggie amma (a person who was employed by my parents when my sister Imara was one month old in 1984). I am writing this on the 24th of December 2007 and she still lives with us, she has been promoted to our 2nd mother status long time ago hence all of us refer to her as “Amma”. At about 1am on the 2nd of Jan, I was on Baseline road near the Borella junction. I had just [View Full Entry]
