"முதல் கோணல் முற்றிலும்  கோணல்" nu சொல்வாங்க. Pothuva oru velayaa kelambum bothum, koodave, athu mukkiyamaana matter na, enna ariyaamaley, chinna vishayangalaam correct-a seiyanum nu aasa paduven. Seri athukkaaga10 nimisham munaadiyae kelambuvena nu ketta - illa, timing correctaa irukanum. Engeyum wait panaama appadiye smooth-a ellaam nadakkanum nu nenaipen.

Annaikku, chennai-ku kelamburen: September 30. Munthiya naale, elaamey pack panniten. Chocolates for home, gifts for relatives + lots of excitement. Myself and Mathu were discussing about this get together for a while and it seemed a long time since Jul 3.

7:45 flight ku - veetla irunthu 5:30 ku kelambanum. First train miss panitenna, total timing collapse aagidum. Correct-a 1 mani neram aagum, from my place to the train - terminal, from there I have to take another 10 mins bus-transit to the budget terminal. Adichi pidichi, first train-a pidichen. Still had enough time to casually check-in. Not to be, Annaikku- at the airport, epothum vida koottam jaasthi. flight check-in pannave 7:30 aagiduchu. "The flight TR2632 bound to chennai is about to leave, calling all passengers, Mr. Naveen Mahendran", nu announce panna arambichitaanga. Boarding gates, thaandi flight yaerum bothu: thooral poda arambichuduchu. The rain gathered pace, 40 mins delay, kelambave late agiduchu.

Amidst all of this, my head was inclined - holding my phone to my shoulders. For most part of the trip, I was speaking to Mathu, giving updates about the situation.

Intha thadava oorukku varathu rombave special. Sathaaranamaa oru vacation illaati holiday ndra mood la irukkum but this time its all about my family. Intha murai, nothing on my to-do list except to spend time with my loved ones. Flight oru vazhiya kelambiduchu, bye bye Singapore, hello! Chennai...
