Wow! What a day. woke up at 4. Jan, Shan n i were the last to leave the hotel, everyone was already in the van waiting for us!!! then we get to the airport, TWO n a Half hour earlier then our check in time. Guna anne and master feel safe this way! =( Finally we reach Chennai. Guna ne, jan n i take an ambassador cab n we meet wid an ACCIDENT!!! our driver bangs into a motorcyclist and he drops on another car. all in slow-mo. everyone was FINE!! how bad can it be when u cant actually speed on the very-congested roads. so anyway, all these 'sibuks' start gathering(like in tamil movies) and start fussing!! Funny thing is, the motorcyclist says he's fine but they dun let go of our man! so he calls his cabby friend, who took us to the hotel. Had bath, lunch and headed to Mylapore, got stuff for sutra n came back. others went to lifestyle. Karthik came. Looked bad! i suppose the 'rest' didnt help. Went for rehearsal to Jayanthi akka's place. as usual, the first rehearsal with the musicians are not the funnest!! Master stresses a little too much which gets the rest of us worked up to, but guna anne's there to balance it up.. but after the rehearsal, master's in good mood again. =D

I woke up the last this morning. slept so well last night. went to Valli's house for breakfast. good stuff. Hung out at her place for awhile then decided to check if spencer's had the chudidar. no luck there as well. next stop, T-nagar to get make up stuff for the kids. came back n got ready for dinner at Savera. Saw Vivek, so GAMI WAS LITERALLY JUMPING!! haha.. went for the 'prestigious' party organised by Ramji. with no place to sit!! all the stupid foreign ballet dancers who were dressed in shorts and their stinky t-shirts were seated while ppl like PRIYADARSHINI GOVIND, Chetna & Ramli Ibrahim were standing leaning against the wall !! shows how much respect is paid for one's own culture and people. n how they lick the foreign arses! we left without making any fuss and master was in such a good mood!! went to amaravathi n guna ne, actually whacked!! the 6 girls shared 2 briyani's!!! came back n sort of packed. next morning went for Uncle Ilango's exhibition. =)


Venkata Suba Rao Auditorium

Beautiful beautiful hall! its new and really looks good! huge stage and big capacity. Benu was our organiser for this venue and made sure everything went smooth. guest of honour was Adyar Laxman sir and we danced to an almost packed auditorium. great stuff! felt really good! dat good feeling, dat fulfillment is to die for! Sandhya and Arjun came, they look really good together and absolutely suitable for each other! getting married early April. However the night didnt end as nice as would have liked it. not even worth mentioning, full of lies and crap! but talks like an innocent mouse.

Now in Hydrebad. not performing here because there's been a bomb threat so no public shows. so basically its sight seeing and shopping now n then. and the briyani stock-ups! hydrebad is kind of crazy. so manyyyyyy people and vehicles and little space! we lived in an almost 'getto' of Hyderabad i think where you just see men! hardly any woman walking on the streets! and the restaurant near the hotel separates men and women to different sections. very Muslim dominated area.
