New years @ Chennai

I was called an expletive by Sid bhai to write a travellogue on the trip to Chennai! I had put it in ze pipeline after the final part of the Tadiandamol trip. Anyhoo, Shailaja did me a great favor and wrote one herself.. I am just gonna use the s/w engineer's mantra and just paste it here - powered by Ctrl+C, Driven by Ctrl+V. :-)! Enjoy it!

P.S. My version may have been slightly different [read: boring with details ;-)] so I will just settle for it. On further reading, if I feel that any clarifications are required, I will make some addendums and corrigendums for her :-P!

Well iots been quite sometime that I  wrote anything to ll ur guys abt wats  bee happening in my life..  well for all of u whove been there in my life,just stand back n enjoy.. n for  allthose who haven’t.. feel J… hehehe…

HAPPY NEW YEAR,,,,,… [huh , u r  wondering why im sayin this out of the blue..take the clue guys.. u havet read  DA VINCE CODE or wat…… ;-) ]

Ok dats were it all started.. or  actually a day before.. so starting from 30th… that’s when my folks  left with my ister to some place out of Chennai .. they were accompanying my sis  for hey new year show.. so it was me HOME ALONE till 1st eve ( well  technically my bro was in town too,bt dat necessarily doesn’t mean hes at home  na….. hope my bros not reading this. Never know whom the chain of mails mite  reach).. So I was all excited .. bt was sleepy too.. n this time all credit goes  to SHameer… I was talking to him over skype till 2.. hehe… ( hey shameer….i  know, I was doing most of the talking again so no blamin  u)

Then came the dawn of the next  day.,. woke up at 6 n became a BAI (maid) for the nest 2 hours) .. sid msgd me  saying the guys have come[Anoop,Gautam,HARSH-gautams bro,Pangu Vangu, Arjun]. N  when I called guess wat.. THE BUM (dats Suppu) was dere too….damn  nw my heart  was racing at 200 per minute .. wanted to just get to these ppl as fast as  possible.. but u know,when it comes to Shailaja Babu luck plays pretty foul..  all of u must have gotto know abt it from the compre results na.. anyway, my  poor BENGI( dats my youngest bro) he fell il… n I just couldn’t leave him alone   dat too sick.. so had to take him to the Vet.. ASSHOLES.. the docs can never be  there on time.. I mean the consultationtime was actually 10-1n the JACK ASS  turns up at 12.. SOB.. anyway after a whole lot of swearing n trating my doggie  I reach home at 1.. n start for sids houose dat very minute… MY sweet BHABHI had  left me a Kurta on my table dat I wore to sids place. [hey u guys ,now u  understand why my green kurta was so loose na!!] ok,now it s the biggest  problem.. I wa stalking A car.. lets not call it my car, cos ive driven it only  4 times n dat too for learning.. else hardly used.. I told SID abt it, bt that  stubborn ass just wuidnt listen..plus ive driven no car beyind my area limits..  n sids place is like 8.5 km apart (plus the traffic).. so  conveyed all my near   n dear ones that I LOVE THEM n started the car.. reached pretty decently…  [almost knocked off a cyclist.. bt he escaped]…

On reaching sids place o get the  HEART ATTACK.. we are going to MAYAJAAL .. for which u got to pass by my house n  maybe another 15km.. dat makes it 10+15 km together.. wow.. were to go  shailaja.. U R DEAD MEAT.. no escape.. best part was we had to drop Shivangi at  t.Nagar.. u guys go [interruption….] ok sorry guys, now getting bac to the  story.. for all of u who dnt know t.nagar , heres  a hint.,.. if u can drive  thro that road n get out of it n half an hour, u can drive any part of the  world.. n trust me dat feat still remains unbeaten.. so I drove till dere, with  raji,anoop n Supu being a pain in my ass....for a car a foot away they’d ask me  to break rite here.. talk abt CONFIDENCE.. then from then on  Anoop wanted to  the the driver to take us to Heaven/HELL… as long as it’s the same  destination,whose bothered whose the driver .. anyway.. anoop drove pretty well  to mayajall.. poor thing,must have felt like driving a BULLOCK CART.. I had all  fears in my mind. Wat if the car bursts n these ppl are hurt. (my car runs on  gas ok.. n anoop was sayingmaybe thers no water in the radiator).. apart from me  I got 4 other responsibilities n was just praying hard that we reach mayajaal n  get  back safely.. we did reach mayajaal. Saw the most sort after movie ( u wont  believe it HARSH called form b’lore to ask sid to book tickets for it.) I had a  MAJor crush for this guy playing thr character,cedric diggory… hes to HOT…then  movie over.. all time wasting tatics tried at mayajaal.. then decided to hit my  place,cos my swwet bro forget his keys n was waiting for me to get back … so hit  home..this time, its was Sid,Pangu Vangu n Gautam( it was gautam rite).. once  again anoop at the drivers seat n me next to him.. this time car didn’t  start..god thought my worst fears were realizing slowly.. I didn’t want to spoil  these ppls new year.. GOD SAVE me.. n he did.. it started.. we never stopped..  kept going..but the car kept making weird noises.. I was feeling so scared deep  insede if we wud reach safely.. throughout the trip home I was nothing but  tensed.. Thank god..seriously.. we reached safely.. went to my place.. n thenhit  sids place.. this was too much.. this time again we tried taking the car n it  just wudnt start from  my place.. anoop was pretty stuck that he wud start the  car at any cost.. finally after half an hour he gave up.. then after pushin the  car a little too far from home, we parked the car on the road n walked back  home.. my bro dropped us at sids place.. had dinner.. YUMMIE PIZZAS… Harsh was  warming the Pizzas with his arm pit warmth.. PANGU Burped all over his Pizza.. n  wat n not.. so I had just enuf thanks to pangu n so dere was no rollin on the  ground by me because I ddint over eat.. then we almost tore our  vocal cords  by  wishing HAPPY NEW YEAR.. then we danced n did wat not…I kinda slept off… dat was  the end of day one  1 pm.. after dat comes in day 2..

Regards,

Shailaja  Babu

[P.S : in between all this I was  paired up with al the guys starting from PAngu , then Arjun n Harsh….  By 12 I  had to decide one of them n change my status from SINGLE to DOUBLE hehehe….ultimately  I settled for HARSH.. well cmon just tink.. PANGU doesn’t fit into even one of  my criterias.. by mistake I called Arjun –ARJUN BHAIYYA n suppu was making me  feel F***ing guilty.. so it was HARSH al rite..this way I become gautams BHABHI  n can ritefully search for w gal for him.. so HARSH it was.. sorry HARSH it  is…]


So, there it was! My corrections will be placed here :-)!
