Pooja Holidays...

I cam back this mornign after a 5 days of Holidays and spending time withfamily. As any other guy I felt really bored to work in office today after enjoying the holidays.
I left to chennai by Chennai mail with my colleague on Tuesday.
Reached chennai on Wedanesday early in the morning @ 4.40 AM. Took a sub urban train from Chennai Park to St. Thomas Mount where my house is.
Met my school Pal and we had a nice time talking and enjoying the sub urban train journey. Reached home at , I think, 5 30 in the morning. One thing that I envy B'lore is that the State Govt is able to control teh Auto rickshaw rates and force the Auto drivers to stick to the proce shown in teh meter. 'Amma' has to do thi sone in Chennai. I paid Rs.35/- for a trip that is not even 2 kms for which it would jus cost Rs.10 in Bangalore.
Reached home and mom was really very happy for the hand bag that I got her.
There was a display of teh bags and other articles made by the physically challenged for sale in our office. I bought a hand bag made of a shiny cloth with zari).
I also got a Mysore raw silk saree for my mom and an Add on Manhattan Credit card.
She was really very happy. It was her birthday on teh 24th of Sep and I got these gifts after baout 15 days of her birthday.
I went to Uthandi with my uncle, bro and my cousin. My uncle is contructing a house jus near the Sea. I really liked teh place very much but was upset due to my inablity to purchase one.
Then from there we went to Srinar colony near Raj Bhavan to see a site. it was damn costly. A site of about 3000 Sq.ft is costing about 55-60 lacs. The area was good and my bro really liked that area.
Then we drove to our house in Zen ( my uncle's car). I had tasty coconut rice,lemon rice and curd rice wth pappad.
The next day we started at about 3 PM . We had planned to visit Vaitheeswaran koil, Koothanoor Sarawathy temple and thirunallar.
We took out Ford Ikon and I drove from Chennai uptil Thindivanam.
We had a good dharshan in all the temples.
The way back home on Stuarday was really good. We drove in teh ECR road.
I'ld publish a spearte blog on the temples we visited.
Yesterday after happily spending the holidays I had to come back to Bangalore.
I am eagerly waiting the next long holidays for 9 days the week after the next.
