Back to the classroom!

Last week was full of exercises, assignments, "home work" (yes, you read it right!) and all the stuff associated with a classroom. Reason? simple, I was away in Coimbatore attending a training.

I expected Coimbatore to be a big place but my expectations vanished the moment I got down from the Cheran Express. And the auto ride from the station to the hotel confirmed it. I felt that Coimbatore was a town rather than a city. But I was happy because I was going to be away from the hustle and bustle of a metropolitan(Chennai? Metropolitan? No ways...) at least for a week.

The training schedule was indeed hectic, from 8.30 in the morning till 6.30 in the evening and the rest of the time was spent in doing the assignments and solving the specimen exam paper. But given that I am a pukka movie buff and there was a television right in front of me, all the assignments were carried out with a movie playing all the time. Due to this i used to forget about the world around me for only about 4 hours daily.

Interestingly, the other thing which was part of daily routine was Subhash Ghai's movies(Strange...I know). I saw Karz, Ram Lakhan, Saudagar and Taal in the same week!!!

But the week was full of fun and was a welcome break from the boredom here in Chennai. And the best part was that the trip was Butter Smooth, no hiccups or no "now what?" situations at all.

A great start for a new innings...
