Arrived in Chennai
Posted by Malik Siraj Akbar on April 15, 2007 · 2 Comments
It was a long flight from Dubai to Chennai, India. Took almost five and half hours. We were taken to Ambassador Pallava Hotel at Highmore. The hotel is superb. Adeel Phatan (The News), Meera Jamal (Dawn) and Amna (Dawn) and I went to Chennai’s best shopping mall, Spencer Plaza and managed to get ourselves new mobile connections.
I loved going back to Bhowari Hotel on Mount Road for dinner along with Adeel. I also managed to speak to my ACJ class fellows Ruchi, Raj, Ranjani, Dilip and Sujata on the phone.
The Summer Academy is kicking off tomorrow morning. Man! I am damn sleepy. Have had sleepless nights. Feel like going to bed now.So catch you tomorrow!
