 It was my happy journey to Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.  This time I had different experience.This journey was undertaken after Virus cyclone Yes after second wave. I was little apprensive about the treatment to be received in airport terminals.Still I have to go and attend one of the important function of my co brother. I reached air port just 3 hours before as per norms.But to my surprise the airport activities were normal as before except some additional temperature procedure., The journey on the flight also normal but wear mask. Food was supplied as it is AIR INDIA. Arrived at Chennai Airport Still normal condition

The flight was full The protocal of wearing  prlastic mask for middle seat passenger was also cancelled .It was very normal period journey .In Chennai 50% people discarded the mask. Over confidence. I had reached my destination.  I have spent 2 days at Chennai.


Journey to Bangalore

From Chennai I travelled to Bangalore by Satapthi express. Here I made some wrong calculation .I had a vision that i may get some refreshment thinking of old days  and I had a not purchased any tiffin items .The train departs from Chennai by 6.30 AM.No food was supplied And With a cup of  coffee I reached Bangalore by 11 AM

Bangalore 

I am in Bangalore after very long time about near about 10 years.  I had a feeling that as I had roamed Bangalore at that time , I know the city and I can manage. The reality is otherwise. I was at sea this time.. The progress was high.  Any way as I had to attend some function at Hosur The next day I departed from Bangalore to Hosur Nextday Morning by our car driven by my  son\.  I have to attend one function  in Hosur 

We had very good breakfast there.It was a very good gathering of relatives which I had a chance to interact them after many many years. I had spent about 6 hours with them. Afterwards Left for Salem.

Salem is my native place My school days were spent in Salem and engineering was done there.From Hosur we travelled to Salem by our car The highway is wonderful.and smooth We reached Salem in 3 hours.  Salem journey was just like home coming. and to have mind to mind conversations with  school mates . Wonderful hours. After 2 days halt we returned to Bangalore.
