Landed in Chennai at around 12am this morning due to flight delays. There was heavy rain and lightning storms across the whole of Southern India. Anyway the flight was good, went on board a new domestic carrier called Paramount Airways. It basically offers internal flights across the major cities in South India. However, all the air stewards and hostesses are from North India, most of the gals seemed to be Punjabi. Most were really really good looking.
After landing at Madurai on Tuesday, we took a 1.5hr drive to Pillayarpatti. Dad had paid for the 'abishegam' before the 'Adutha Jaamam' pooja (the last pooja before the temple is closed for the day). After the prayers, we went to the temple agraharam to visit one of the former temple priest's family. That man passed on a few years back so my dad just wanted to go see the maami.Of cos in these place there's alot of "madi and aachaaram" so when they give you water or drinks, you are expected to keep the cup in the air can drink. The point is for your saliva not to come into contact with their cups, its good hygiene i guess.
On Wednesday, my dad had some purchasing to do for the temple. After that it was lunch at another former temple priest's house. The maami had made great food. I think I haven't eaten so much or had such a great lunch in ages. After that we took a drive to Madurai to go to Thiruparankundram where we had a great drashan as well and then flew back to Chennai.
