congrats! I tried to do the same thing to see if i'd love chennai after living in bangalore and the bay area, but the blog is yet to come through for me. maybe it takes longer to fall in love with chennai? :)
my personal favorite is the himampasand (sp?). and not all neat and cut up into little bits, but just sliced into 2 sides and the middle, where you actually get messy and eat the stuff right off the skin. Mmmmm good stuff!!
fantastic post! I love the play by play- very informative. I can see how it can calm your nerves! I truly enjoyed the match- haven't seen india bat so well in a while. sehwag and yuvraj and sachin were a joy to behold. ahhhh I had really missed those 6s! *sigh* I hope india makes it to the next round...
