After moving out to Chennai, following things in Chennai makes me feel as if I am still in Trivandrum (My own back yard) and also causes Dejavu sometimes.
1. When I see a lot of KL-01 registration cars n bikes in Chennai Roads.
2. When I visit Kumarakom restaurant at least once in a month
3. When I see someone chatting in Malayalam
4. When it rains heavily in Chennai
5. While riding through Besant Avenue it makes me feel as if I am in Kowdiar Square in Trivandrum
6. When I go for a stroll in Thiruvanmiyur beach makes me feel as if I am in Shankhumugam beach.
7. The Chennai Ribbon building is like our Secretariat
8. AMM School at Kotturpuram resembles the Arya central school where I did my schooling. The uniform is the same. Steel Gray trousers and white shirt.
9. The CLRI housing colony at Adayar makes me feel as if I am in VSSC housing colony in Thumba.
10. The Aavin milk bar underneath the Adyar flyover makes me feel as if I am in Milma milk bar in Trivandrum Museum.
Still I do miss a lot at Trivandrum like
1. The Envestnet Gang (Chandru,Ram,Jegan,Sujith,JP….)
2. Puttu + Mutton from Buhari
3. Pazham pori(banana roast)
4. Fish Delicacies
5. Cool nights
6. My sweet home
7. Rain
8. Movie in Kripa theatre
9. Onam fest @ Kanaka kunnu palace
10. Weekend booze parties with Envestnet gang
11. Last but not least My Dad, my Mom and my Brother – luv them a lot.
I always see this when I am free at Office. Thanks to Google.
After all how can one forget the place where he lived more than 25 years? I am proud and lucky to live the most important part in my life at Trivandrum. I will soon spend the second important spell of my life in Trivandrum.
