To Chennai and back...

The year started with me driving down solo to Chennai to watch the Chennai Open. The only world class ATP tour of India. Left home around 9ish one cloudy morning and entered Chennai in 4hrs driving at a steady pace of 100kmph. It was a great drive all the way with tolled roads all along , though the toll hits the pocket a bit .It took me another hour just to locate my sister's house thanks to the highly crazy google maps on my phone that I initially tried to use.  One learning never use google maps while driving around in India, just ask the auto drivers or local shopkeepers. Had picked up a season ticket for the entire week and was all set. My six year old niece Anya, who's also been playing tennis for two years now wanted to come along. I was a little apprehensive whether she will last all through the matches but to my surprise she did and really enjoyed the atmosphere. She did come along on two consecutive days.   There were a bunch of players from top 50 and 100 Ber

Another year...

Another year just flew past on this onward journey .. A year with its roller coaster ride ,where I was able to explore new places , some new friends , some old friends who left the city or found their calling . Able to get to the tennis court almost everyday, one constant love all these years tennis and of course a bit of splurge in a new car .. And then having near ones around at home to start another year on this planet !
