Weekend at the Farm

A great weekend at Arul's farm. We reached there around noon on Saturday and started off with a very fulfilling lunch. Arul explained to us about how he handles the farm and gave us some details of his farming techniques. After a siesta, played some frisbee and got to silversands to play in the ocean for a while. Drove down to Mahabs afterwards to eat some sea food (I don't eat sea food but the boys wanted it quite desperately). Arul was kind enough to make me a sandwich and some curd rice that Liz and I wiped off.

Arul, Liz and I started our run at 6:45 am. I planned an hour and a half run which ended up being a 45 minute run because of the heat. However, the company was great and the run was enjoyable. We had some chilled tender coconut juice, chai and paratha breakfast and headed back to Chennai.

I recommend all you guys to head out to the farm for a weekend away from Chennai. Its about 20kms outside Chennai and it is a great getaway when you don't have much time to leave town. The food is particularly amazing and you don't want to leave the place once you are there.

I met some fabulous people and had a great time. Out of town until the 25th of May but I'll keep updating this space as often as possible
