Well here I go with a little more mischief ! Now it is Monday Evening .. February 18th .. and soon I am due to leave my hotel to catch the Tamil Nadu Express Train to head South to Chennai. As I just now tried to do for Tuesday .. February 19th .. I am going to try to do a 'Future' Post for Wednesday the 20th of February 2013 when I am due into Chennai ..
These photos were taken in February of 2012 and little has changed !
The Chennai Central Railway Station is absolutely STUNNING in appearance. A real monument.
Looking down the entire front of the station ..
A closer view of the central part of the station ..
A close-up of the MAGNIFICENT CENTRAL TOWER ..
OK .. now we go inside of the Chennai Central Railway Station ..
Oh yes.. Oh yes .. OH YES ! .. IT IS A BUSY PLACE !
And the band played .. WALTZING MATILDA ..
Back in February of 2012 .. I .. as I seem quite able to do ! .. mixed-in with them and I asked them .. "Who is the drummer" .. one man proudly stood up and came over and stood beside HIS drum .. I don't know why on earth I did not snap his proud photo .. maybe I was afraid the entire band would come up and join in ..
Now this was something .. back in February of 2012 I had ten .. TEN-count-them .. HOURS to spend before my train left for the North .. I had been on the bus all night .. and when I got down from the bus .. it was a mad-dash to get to Chennai Central and to get re-booked for the Sunday night train .. so I was pretty tired .. well I 'have-been-around' and so I 'went-looking' and guess what I found .. for about four dollars .. I got myself an AIR CONDITIONED BED in a nice comfortable 'office-like' cubicle in the Dormitory at Chennai Central .. First I crashed-out-cold for about two (2) hours .. then I did some photo shooting .. and came back and slept some more .. wow .. WOW ! .. was this a nice place to just hang-out .. MY SPACE .. do you see Mister India Bag on the floor .. my Back-pack is inside the locked enclosure under my bunk with my other things ..
And before I knew it .. see the time on the clock .. 9:18PM .. it was time to go catch my 10PM train and head North for Agra Cantt ..
Do I need to point out to you all the people .. still a lot of people .. ALWAYS a lot of people in the India Railway Stations ! .. this was a different area of Chennai Central from the above crowd photos .. actually my track was right out the door from the Dormitory !
Thank you all for joining me in a little ' blast from the past' back in February 2012 as I bring you all up-to-date here on February 20th .. 2013. I hope this posts on-time Wednesday the 20th of February ! Just a little mischief !
Big Smiles .. Cap ..
