Weekend in Madurai
 |
I spent my weekend with my cousin Allagappan(Yes, he too is Allagappan) in Madurai. Its more than a year I had been to Madurai.
I reached friday night and saturday morning we went to his college-KLN College of Engineering,Madurai. The college was 10km from his residence. We left at around 10:00AM. Primeminister was coming to inaugrate Sethusamudram Project, a new vision for Tamils. But the worst part was the security features arranged in Madurai. |
Though we weren’t checked in between for licences and Papers,
we saw poor constables standing in the roads even at 11:00AM eventhough the traffic restriction is from 2:00PM. We saw them on the way to the college.
We saw the college and all the facilities. College is really good. Neatly maintained. Score-boards say that Anna University syllabuses are really tough(Thank God! I’m not in AU)
When we came back around 1:45PM, these guys were still standing in the 40oC heat waiting for PM! Poor guys. They had to be there in their uniform(Shoes,tucked in shirts!) in that heat.
My favourites in Madurai are Jigardanda and Meenakshi Amman Temple. And I didn’t miss both!
Jigardanda is heavenly delicacy. I have just heard that it is made of sea-weeds,ice-cream+milk.
Our Course starts tommorrow. The Big Day for me!
