Visit to Chennai - Day 1

8th February, 2007
The Train Journey  - We (I, Sudha, m-i-l) all got up at 3 am and started getting ready. Diya woke up around 5 am for her first visit to Chennai. We reached station around 5.30 am. It was the luxiriest train journey we all could have travelled. The First Class Ac in Shabtadi hardly had 10 people including us, so the entire space was all ours. Diya was looking around at the bright interiors. We made a friend of one kid Sanjana who spoke fluent English. We took a lot of photos in the train.
At Kalayana Mantap -  We reached Kalyana Mantap around 11.30 am. All relatives who got the first glimpse of Diya were excited and started playing with her. But Diya was in no good mood; she wanted rest.
Evening Reception -  Evening there was a surprise. There was a music orchestra arranged and the singers were from Airtel Super Singer contest. At the end of the program I spoke to Nikhil Mathew  who was the winner of that contest. I got his friendship too. We didnt get proper arrangment to make Diya sleep. She was crying the whole night. Mosquitoes galore and hot weather put all of us in dizzy.
