We arrived early in the morning at about 5:30 and got out the the station to find an auto, we easily got one to take us to a Motel near-by.
Then I suddenly remembered, weren't the Transport Unions on Strike today, on questioning the driver, I found out that they were going on Strike form 6:00am, so we guys were just lucky.

We found a nice little place just enough for the 3 of us. After breakfast it was off to the Microsoft Office @ Prestige Talk, we had Kevin's car come and pick us up from the Railway Station.

Once at office we spoke to kevin for a few minutes, discussing about an event that we guys are planning on the 10th of October.

Anyways after that since Kevin had to leave for a meeting,we thought that we will go and check out M.G Road and Brigade Road, now these are the 2 central places in the City were most of the Buzz happenes.
We came out of the office and were wondering how to get there, coz there wasn't a single vehicle in sight.We tried hailing a few vehicles, but no response.
It was really crazy, a different City without the Local Transport System running, we guys did not have any idea on what we could do.We then approached a Police officer and asked him for some directions, he pointed out that these places are really close by and that we could actually walk over.

We guys had a nice time there, enjoyed ourselves, had Lunch @ KFC, its been a pretty long time, coz there is not KFC in Chennai so we don't have that Luxury. Then went to Coffee Day and had some thing to Drink and we also managed to do a video shoot of out trip to Bangalore and it came out really cool.

After that it was Back to the Office, where we had Kevin's Car take us to our motel where we freshned up and then left for the Hotel Grand Ashok.
We had actually arrived a little early and none of the other Champs from Bangalore had actually come there. So we decided that we guys go ahead and check out the Faculty event that is actually going on. It was pretty good, with Pratiba(ADE, from Hyderabad) speaking about how Faculty and Microsoft can acually work together.

After that the Student event started,
It simply outstanding. I mena, these guys are really enthusiactic about what they do as Student Champs. The passion that these guys have is no way near the interest that Student Champs in Chennai have.
Those guys had a lot of fun activites lined up for the Day and they went about it really well.

And then some thing great happened, I was fomally made a Microsoft Student Ambassador.

After that it was dinner where I got to network with a lot of people and we guys made a few plans for the future, hoping that we guys can work together and build a stronger community.

After dinner it was time to head back to the Train Station and we again used our Savior for the Day, Kevin's Car, with out which we guys would have been stranded on the fateful day

We guys were soo tired that the moment we got into the Train,we guys fell asleep only to wake up @ Chennai.


The entire trip was a great experiance for all of us. It really boosted the interest of Hebron and Sumudu to do more.For me personally it was a good opportunity to meet Student Partner form bangalore, coz we guys had been in touch over the Internet and it was great to meet in person.

Also it gave me an idea of how to go about with the Student Champ Community here in Chennai and how we could get more people to participate in our activities
