First day
... it was ever a hospital. They take in 60 students per year and CMC is one of the top 2 medical colleges in India. Considering that India has over a billion people these students are v.v.v.smart. I tried to play it cool and quiet, I'm assuming they now ...

3rd Stop - Vellore Golden Temple
From Vallimalai, we headed to Vellore, not to the Central Jail :p , but the Mahalakshmi Golden Temple. Upon arrival at 3.35pm, we found that the crowd was heavy, hence we decided not to go in because my next destination i.e. Tiruvannamalai was more ...

In the curryland
I arrived in India four days ago. Oh my God. It's a whole new world- I am soooo excited! Everything is just so different, so alien to our culture, which I find fascinating. The people, the food, the smells, the clothes, the writing, the body language, ...
