BirthDay Plan A & Plan B

BirthDay Plan A & Plan B

Hello buds. This birthday is quite interesting for me becoz I celebrate with strangers. I knew that on 6^th June nothing gonna happened rather than go to work so I wanted this birthday would be little interesting. So I was thinking to go to chennai for little shopping and to watch movie etc, (yes becoz in Tamilnadu no hindi or english movie shown on theater all are tamil or either dub in tamil) so I told my old friend Francoise about plan ( one Belgian friend who lives in chennai) but she told me to come at tourist spot Mahamallipuram which is 40km from chennai which is really good one. I cached the bus and on Pondecherry Bus Stop I met Nichole from Germany. We travel together up to Mahammalipuram we had nice chitchat, and during chitchat she was convinced by me to take Vipassana course, I told her might be I will come to chennai in the evening so we could meet somewhere in mall, and she was happy too.

Finally I reached Mahamallipuram and I figured it out its good place though I got fool by hiring rickshaw for Rs.300 to watch 2km area only because I had to wait for Francoise. Finally I met her in restaurant which is on beach. we had lunch there, then we went to Ideal beach which is very nice place its Resort where u can enjoy facilities like, access private beach, swimming pool etc. for only Rs.400. I enjoyed there very much. Francoise teach me or gave me some tips of swimming. Its wonderful day with her. She gave me a beautiful Gift a T-Shirt with words “Undiscovered Genius”, which I like most As Francoise had different planed in the evening. She went to home

So for further plan I call Nicki to ask about the room in hotel where she stayed, its surprising that in that hotel Indians are not allowed may be for security of foreigner and also rooms are cheap from Rs.175-400 only. Nicki manage to convinced the manager for me. I reached hotel near abt 8pm then we went to Marina beach. Again nice chitchat on beach and then dinner. In the morning during breakfast she told me abt her bad experience in India. Mostly happened in south India. Like touching n grabbing her here and there in crowd and in bus, a stranger on road ask her about f***. As Indian I feel very shamed that this things now also happens. She ask me why westerners considered as prostitute here? and I didn't had answer!. Hopefully she feel positive after meet me.

After breakfast we went for shopping when we walked on the road some local guys who looks educated, pass some vulgar comment on her, it was really bullshit we just neglect them and went away. We went to some malls and did shopping. As my choice is not so good, so she selected cloths for me and I just bought those. Although we both feel very tired we just move on to do the things. In the afternoon I catches the bus from chennai and came home with smiley face,

Thanks to god who planned for me. When I looked about whole things, accidentally I met Nicki and she gave me her mobile no. I was thinking to go chennai with Francoise and do some shopping n stay at her place but as it canceled. Plan B works which made by GOD. And my Sunday and Monday went well :). after writing this I feel like it was dream :) thanks god.............

LIFE IN TAMILNADU PART -1

After spent 2days in home I came to Tamil Nadu to start my work. When I was in train from Nagpur to Chennai, one guy named Sridhar from Tamil Nadu knows Hindi, he help to get the bus stop Koyembedu which is central bus stop in Chennai from where you can get bus to anywhere long distance and short distance.  That bus stop is quite big I never saw bus stop like this.  After Sridhar left it was difficult to communicate with people. In the bus I was quite mum whole 7hours and listened music. I tried to speak with guy seated next to me but he did not understand English and Hindi. When I reached Chidambaram bus stop my company people came to receive me. I thought might be they are mechanic or some other staff but they were sr. manager, sr. engineer. And some other head.  In the end I reached my accommodation which is nice. Next day I went to market to buy some stuff but it was difficult to communicate with them. For example I asked for chana (chickpeas ) in shop, he came with chalk box then I explain them about 15 min the shape, color somehow in the end he understood J. Another eg. We(my roommate) ask to buy 2 hangers for cloth to our maid she bought and told the price in tamil and when we did not understand she said its 400rs each instead 40 we both got shock  J

In 1^st dec I went to my working site. I felt very bored, no work just observe the things which were going on.  After couple of days I got work to observe the things and instruct the worker. When I tried to instruct the local worker they did not understand anything. So most of the time I used sign languageJ. Sometimes I said something and workers did something different. I felt I am on different planet or another country nobody understand Hindi which is national language of India. I feel Maharashtra is really very good state where all peoples from different state and country can live. At least all Marathi people understand and speak Hindi. Sometimes it irritates me when I heard Tamil everywhere and I did not understand anything. But I have no option. I want to learn tamil but as I am here only for 3months I don’t feel it’s necessary to learn.

Now I start to take interest in my job. And result of that I have to do night duty alone to handle all operations on site which were going on. My seniors are good and friendly.  Not much work load just learning things J will come with 2^nd part soon  

here are the some pics
