Atlast came the long awaited day, oct18, for visiting my hometown on the eve of Diwali. I started lonely form Gandhinagar to Ahmedabad Airport, as my trip-companion got some work on oct18th. Its Airdeccan and asusually delayed for 30minutes. I could see lot of Tamils, who were waiting as like me for the Airdeccan. Its my first time flight experience and hence I was listening to all the instructions. I phoned to my home and few friends in Chennai. I was also thinking about, how to go to my home town form Chennai as i dint booked Omni-bus. Finally the flight arrived and all the passengers boarded the flight. It was similar to TownBus in Tamilnadu. Since the seat no.s are not reserved in Airdeccan, all the passengers rushed to get a good seat. I am the last to board the flight. Atlast i got a good chatting guy near me. He spoke about his work and the places he lived in. In an hour and few minutes the flight reached Hyderabad. Again after some half-an-hour the flight took-off and in next one hour i was in chennai. Its 1:30pm and i thought of purchasing some sarees for my mom. So i got unit-train in Thirisulam station (opp to chennai airport). In the train i could see some high-school students getting-down at every station and boarding on the running-train everytime. They spoke local-chennai-tamil. Its nice to see those fellows. Atlast i reached Pothy's mall and searched for sarees. Since its my first experience in selecting a saree, i took lot of time. Finally I took two sarees. Then i took "Onion-Masal-dosa" in "SaravanaBhavan", as i could spend my Sodexho food coupons.
Then i phoned Arimanicam anna (my elder-brother's close friend & friend of me too). He said i will come to Koyambedu by 4:30pm. I rushed to koyambedu bus terminal. The town bus is heavily crowded and it took almost 45min to reach koyambedu. I met Arimanicam anna. He was with me searching for Theni-tickets. Atlast we got a ticket with high-price and got it. I should really thank Arimanicam anna for being with me at that evening.
The omni-bus started and the next day morning (oct19th) i was in my home. I went to Bodi, to see my aachi(grandma),uncle & aunt and their small cute kids. On oct20th i met my school friends. Had nice time with my school friends. I purchased some crackers to get the feel of diwali.
oct 21st, Diwali, I got up asuausal and the day was quite slow. But by 11am most of my friends came to my home. So really enjoyed Diwali with our great chat. Its all about our first job experience and some old college-stories.
oct22st. I and my friends went to movie (Vallavan). On the next day i have to leave back to Chennai, to catch Navajeevan Express at Chennai-central. On oct23, i packed all things and started. I reached Chennai on 24th early morning. Its raining outside and i got wet. From Koyambedu, i boarded a town-bus to Central-Station. I reached Central-station early. So i took food and waited for train. My train was on platform-10. Its almost 9:30am and i was in the train. All passengers boarded. One fellow near me talked to me in Hindi, thinking me as a North-Indian. Then i responded him in Tamil. He was little surprised and asked "Tamilaaa..!" Then we started chatting. Our group grown into 6member team. With all 6-Tamils the two day train journey was not that hard. I learnt lot from their live-stories. On Oct-25th night i was back in Ahmedabad........
