ICE

“ice?..what has that got to do with my car?”…This was my reply when my friend introduced me to this concept. It actually stands for In Car Entertainment and there are actually a lot of forums and websites that discuss and specialize in it, and one only has to drive to GP road in chennai to [...]

Serial Killers!

After a looong time i finally decided to have a hair cut yesterday…and being a person who is very frugal when it comes to spending for a hair cut, found one saloon not far away from home and decided to go there. It was a pretty decent one, better than the place that i’ve been [...]

Bloody beggars!!

Drove all the way to ambatur from my office, (at thoraippakkam) to catch the night show which got split into an 8pm and 11pm show by the theatre ppl, (to [...]
