Taken directly without any shame from my own diary without any editing written during the Tour Dec 2003.

We are in the train. Some guys are sleeping while same are playing cards. This train is very good and so its pantry car. I am reading a book by Jai Shankar Prasad (bought with Shobhit at Allahabad station). I am very emotional at this moment.We have a visit next day in Chennai.

This day is very great day.In the morning we reached Chennai. The Police is very strict and efficient. There is very tight security probably because of coming 6th Dec. We have a very boring visit at Ashok Nagar Allied Electronics. The instructor explained us about Antennas and Robots.
The company was very small and the company owner was very witty specially to Vineet. After this we visited Marina Beach. I was very surprised and i had no words to appreciate the beauty of Bay of Bengal touching Chennai.
Chennai is a very neat city. Buses are easily available, roads are very good. Police is very helpful. After the beach we had dinner and we (Shobhit and me) had to east Veg Biryani and Idli Shambhar. We are in very midst of South India. We started for Kodaikanal in Chennai-Madurai 2637 express. In the train i am very upset. I had a very heated discussion with Deepak Goel on the issue of our tour. I always win but i was very shocked at the behaviour of Deepak Goel. Bye Bye Chennai. By Bye Marina Beach. Its a very nice night in the train. Divya Alok is helping us in solving the Kodaikanal road problem.
6th December 2003
Today we are suffering in Chennai-Egmore Express. Nitin Goel wakes me at 04:40 AM and i awake all the other guys. We are about to reach Kodai Kanal road at about 5:35 A. We got the bus to KodaiKanal Hill station at 6:00 AM. The bus is very cheap 24/. Another conflict with Deepak Goel on the issue of bus fare. I slanged him. Then we have a very excited journey to Kodaikanal. We have a bus puncture at Battalkundu. We read in "Hindu" about the achievement of Indian cricket team in Australia (India tour of Australia 2003-04) in the first Test. Zaheer picked 5 wkts in first inning. We reached the Kodaikanal hill station at 10 AM. We got a bus by bargaining a lot. A great contribution from Vineet, Shobhit and Deepak Goel. Finally we got the bus 3200/.
Kodaikanal is a very great hill station some how a bit overy hyped. I missed my girl friend (although completely imaginary) but i enjoyed greatly with my friends. We have a very heated discussion with Travel agency guy. I was very angry and so were Vineet, Deepak, Pankaj and Shobhit. Finally we got the result. We got the bus for Madurai. The bus journey was full of excitement. We enjoyed every vulgar song. We reached Madurai at 8:00 PM and we quickly fired us to see the famous Meenakshi temple. It was very great sight. The temple was singing the glory of great Indian civilisation, Indian culture and world heritage. I again took a pledge for protection of my country. The same pledge was taken by me at Marina beach, Chennai.
Currently i am waiting in waiting room and all the other guts are doing BC.
signing off. The next part will see us all in Kanyakumari.
