Andamans and Crashed Cars
After having driven 8000 kms cross country over the worst terrain possible, our car gets smashed 800 metres from our house. The irony of it!
Ah well, the dreaded “new-car-meets-with-its-first-accident” jinx has been lifted. Anyway, to cut a long story short, Insurance is covering it and we might just make the weekend drive to Chennai - A place I abhor and try my best to avoid. But a necessary evil. Flights to Port Blair operate from there.
Anand unfortunately couldn't extend his leave, Air tickets shot through the roof and basically it means we have so skip Car Nicobar and Greater Andamans -
Our Andamans Schedule as of now - tentative to weather conditions, Air Deccan Delays, and general red tapism.

dont miss the light and sound program at cellular jail .... also if possible do tell me abt Marina Sports complex ... is the bench overlooking Ross island still there?? Thats been my fav place in the islands for my 3 years of stay
Hope you enjoyed the place. This was my place between 1995 and 1997. I enjoyed it so much I just turned a poet. Some of the poems that I wrote are there in both my blogs. I even plan to publish a collection of short stories, all set in Andamans.
Sorry for bragging. Hope you will post a few pictures of mount Harriet, Chidiya Tapu, Haveluck. I'll look forward to.
Thanks.
Sincerely
Nanda
