My night at the museums in Vienna, Austria
StandardIt’s been a month since my last post. I had been busy with work and moved to Vienna (Austria) last week for a new assignment. Just yesterday I had time to venture out on this beautiful city and that warranted a new post.
My colleague mentioned about the ‘Long Night of the Museums‘ event that happens every year in October. This year it happened yesterday, 4th October 2014. On this day, all the participating museums can be visited from 6:00 pm to 1:00 am for just 13 euros that includes the transportation cost too.
Mobile Apps for Chennai Suburban and MRTS Trains
StandardI love traveling by train, but I have never been a frequent traveler on the Chennai Suburban and Mass Rapid Transport System (MRTS) trains. I have used the suburban trains occasionally and the MRTS very rarely. However, I have fond memories of traveling in suburban trains during childhood to my aunt’s house in Thirunenravur. I have traveled on the Chennai Central-Sulurpet route couple of times during my first job. That train crosses a backwater near Minjur. It was so lovely to see fishermen in their boats during sunrise and sunset there. The reflections of the lights at a factory near the backwater were beautiful at night.
A Crawl To Remember
StandardDo you remember the days you crawled when you were a toddler?
Frankly, I don’t and I don’t believe anybody else can.
Yesterday, I got a chance to crawl that I can never forget. It happened at the Kailasanathar temple at my native, Kanchipuram. People who have visited this temple might understand the crawl I am talking about.
