I am off to chennai today to visit my sister. I shall spend the next 3 days with her. The last 2 visits to chennai were not more than a day long and before that I spent 2.5 months there training for my first job. That is where I stayed away from home for the first time, got my first paycheck, where I was diagnosed for malaria & treated for typhoid, lived with room mates who fell sick with malaria or viral fever one after the other (inlcuding myself) and one place I was extremely delighted to leave when the opportunity arose. Bangalore was a welcome change.

Of course, my sister having spent 3 years in chennai probably thinks different about the city. And oh, she doesnt know I am visiting her. It gives me a certain pleasure saying this on the internet and knowing that it is very unikly she will find out.
