In just exactly 25 days from now I am going to be leaving the amazing city of Madras, lock stock and barrel. The city is of course, extremely close to my heart; from the most awesome moments to the most embarrassing ones and even a whole bunch of scary, boring, memorable, creative, lonely, futile, fun, exciting, meaningless, weird and hilarious flashes, the city has treated me grandly and now I have to say goodbye and leave! :(
As I clear my stuff and put them together to be taken off, I actually feel strange about not having anything left behind here. Something about the city makes me feel so comfortable, that I think I am going to leave something behind for the people who move in; maybe my pillow or my most favorite book, so I have a reason to come back sooon!!
But yeah, just 25 days left... makes me want to do 25 different amazing, typical things in this awesome city. Here is my list...
- Buy little temple jewelery knick knacks from Sukra
- Filter coffee in Ratna Cafe
- Meals in Karpagambal Mess
- Catamarine ride in Kovalam
- Shopping in Mahabs
- Tibbs Frankie from Bessy
- Cast my last vote in Tamil Nadu
- Cheesecake from Jelly Belly and Winners' chocolate tart
- My last IPL match in Madras
- One awesome, soul stirring kutchery
- Balloon shooting in Bessy
- Just sit and watch the full moon at Thiruvanmiyur Beach
- Climb the darn lighthouse in Marina
- Alone time at Broken Bridge (at least this time)
- Wait in an endless queue for Kuzhi Paniyaram in Grand Sweets
- Go on the MRTS (parakkum rayil, lol)
- Night show in Satyam
- Look for all the books on my long list in Moore Market
- Get the Jhakkamma lady to predict my future with the wand in her hand (or kili josiyam, maybe both!)
- A day in Auroville (maybe)
- Mulberry-banana smoothie in Fruit shop
- Take one long ride on my bike
- See the Adyar Banyan tree (I have no clue where that is)
- Bead shopping at Bessy
- Watch a thiruttu DVD movie
Just some 25 things I can think off my hat, however I realized, the truth is I can never say bye to Madras!
