Kind of an adventurous jrney....to meet a friend of mine whom iam seeing after many years...he had come frm Madura and me from Chennai....planned suddenly..spoke to him at 5 pm and i was there in Guindy at 5.30pm....reached kaveripakkam at 7.30pm (a small town on the chennai-bangalore highway...apprx 100kms from chennai)....got a bus at 8.45 to banavaram, which is again a very very small town, 15kms from Kaveripakkam...reached there at 9.30...my frnd was waiting there for me...the adventure started from there....this tiny village (koothambakkam) is apprx 3 kms from banavaram....and there is no public transport available at that time...hence we had no other way except to walk in the DARK...on the lonely road surrounded by trees and farms...no lights except moon....remembering all those "good old college days"....we reached the village at 10.15pm....
