Chennai Bound 007

June 25, 2013 Tuesday 330 AM, Chennai International Airport - British Airways landed. 630 AM is the train departure from Chennai Central to Tirupati. 3 hours on hand - tons of people to cross to clear immigration - With just one small hand bag, our Bound 007 navigated the crowd and reached Immigration line at 3:42 AM. This 3 hour window was planned for several days and calculated each step to accurately implement minute by minute. My name is Bond, James Bond is the famous dialog ringing in Bound's ears over and over. But that is film. This is reality. How in the possible world one can reach Chennai airport at 330, clear immigration and Customs, take a taxi and reach Vadapalani, leave the bags, take bath and get ready, leave to Chennai Central before 625 AM?

Confused but confident Bound was standing in line - Murphy's law always is true. The line where our "Bound" was standing was going the slowest. Finally got Immigration cleared. Since there were no check-in bags, customs was easy. He came out of Airport and his India Cell was ringing. Just outside the Airport, a taxi was waiting. he hopped in the car at 4:10 AM and reached home at 4:40 AM. Took a shower. Another bag was kept ready by his Dad. Our Bound picked it up and left for Thirupathi by 6:30 AM train from central.

I was that Bound and was glad to execute this small 007 action to see Ezhu  Malayan. More about the Dharshan in the next blog.
