Me in MadScience

So here I am at MadScience ( I'm sorry, MatScience). Contrary to expectations, I am whirring along pretty well. It's a nice joint, this, with cool facilities.

The people here have been nice and kind to us too. Apart from one little kid who kept looking at me as if I hurt his finer sensibilities, nobody seems affronted by my presence.

There's a pretty good gym here, and some people work out even. I go there everyday, to stand and look admiringly at the equipments.

Chennai is full of surprises. The other day we found a restaurant where they even sell beef. Which is not all that surprising, except to people like us who were getting the impression that fish, chickens, goats or indeed any eatable creatures don't exist in this part of the world. And the hotel Annapurna here is to the good: the bangali food is as good as anywhere in Kolkata.

I shall stop now, Monk is calling me. We're going out to explore the city a bit more now....who knows what we may find today! Free cookies, maybe?
