A wayside teashop, which also sold tender coconuts, the MGOCSM meeting on the Pondy route, and the kids play area in MGM beach resort (dont miss the lady in blue - that's me!).
On Sunday afternoon we took the ECR route to attend a church meeting on the Mahabs-Pondy route. The way V bustled us out of the house one would assume that he was going to give the inaugural speech! Anyway we reached in time for tea and snacks, stayed for the invocation song by an old junior pal of mine from college (she has a wonderful voice) and came off before the Chief Guest, former Maharashtra Governor PC Alexander, or Rev. Valsan Thampu, now Principal of St. Stephen's College-Delhi, spoke. Valsan Thampu is one of my favorite speakers on theology - he used to give sermons at the fellowship meetings in JNU on Sundays, which I attended when I was living in the campus for my journalism course.
We then proceeded to Mahabs but as Ash said, the sun had gone off to sleep, and we couldnt see the monuments, so we tried our luck about seeing a Malayalam movie at Maayajal - but the movie had changed. In the end we decided to have dinner at MGM resort and head home. The ambience was good with the sea waves washing up close to the restaurant, but the buffet dinner was not so good - we woke up with bloated tummies the next day.
