Its been a long time since I wanted to add this thing to my blog so this is quiet a stale topic right now but still I would like to put it up over here as I have nothing else to blabber about.
So, as I have kept telling some of my outings and adventures in Chennai, this is one more of the EUREKA! moments that I recently had.
To start with, Arindam Nath, who is my batchmate, ex-room mate, current project partner and a good friend recently has turned completely into a Chennai-waasi as his family has shifted over here. He stays in some place which is some where Nungambakkam and me and Saurabh are always being invited by him and his parents to his place. But, as we are lazy as well as the place is pretty far (so what if we have a direct bus service from our place, it still seems far to me! 
), we have rarely been there. So finally, as I had some work at his place, I had finally gone there somewhere around 2nd-last week of last month. most probably I guess it was 22nd Nov. 
Saurabh was with me that day so it was like an ex-room mate reunion 
So we were finally at Arindam’s place and he told us that some new mall has opened nearby and it has a McDonald’s in it. Considering the fact that this is only the 3rd McDonald’s outlet in whole Chennai yet (as per my knowledge), we should be going there. Moreover, after getting used to the McDonald’s crowded city like Mumbai, its a very much home-like feeling for me when I go there.
Thus, we were out to go to that new place. We reached in some time as it was not too far away. There I saw that it was a new mall that has opened and its called “AMPA Skywalk”. We entered the mall and I was like… ” WOW! Finally I am in a mall in Chennai which actually looks like a mall!” (yeah..because till now its just Citi Centre and Spencer Plaza that are well known ‘malls’ over here and they are not so mall-like! )
Getting inside, we first checked out the whole place and were pretty impressed by its size and appeal as it was surely a rare seen in this city for us. 
Later we also came to know that it has a pretty cool food court and a big gaming area is coming up. Looking at the under-construction part above us, I guess some multiplex is also coming up there. Watching all this, me and Saurabh were like… ” We should be more often visitors at Arindam’s place from now on! “
After checking out the mall, we finally went to the the place for which we actually came there for. Yeah, we went to the McDonald’s restaurant there and it felt so homely to me ( ghar ki yaad aa gayi! ) Had a nice time there with the burger as well as watching Saurabh trying to fit the Chicken Maharaja Mac in his mouth without making a mess! Arindam didn’t have a problem with it as I guess it was the Maharaja Mac that was feeling shy this time!!

** the above pics were taken by my mobile’s VGA camera as I forgot to take my cam along and could wait to show-off to others that I went to such a place
So, a nice place was discovered and after all this we were back to Arindam’s place where we had more fun that night with our cricket match and ghost stories and next day me and Saurabh were back to our respective rooms
