This blog captures the traversal of 3 Makaans from India to Thailand and finally reaching Macau and then back to their dull and dreary life in India. (Chennai to be exact)
Yes, 3 Makaans who take this arduous path just for a single purpose. GAMBLING. Well, that was why this plan was planned initially. However, as the saying goes " Man plans, God Laughs" due to the over shooting of their initial estimated budget, it's very unlikely that their sole purpose for this expedition, so to speak, will ever see the light of day :D.
I am the fortunate soul who had to opt out of this so called "expedition" due to various reasons. I'll be the enabler for these Makaans to capture their laborious and uncomfortable experiences. The reason I use the word laborious and uncomfortable here is because, apart from the tickets to the specified places and a minuscule amount of currency these guys have nothing planned to the tee. Though I know for a fact that no matter what, these guys will enjoy and probably be ecstatic by the time they return back, I still hope they are do not have a tough time out there arranging for accommodations.
Yes, they have not planned or booked any accommodations. Intelligent, aren't they. Yes they are, if they weren't don't think I'd be proud to call them my Compatriots let alone my friends.
Okay getting back to the serious matter in hand:
Travel date and times:
- They left for the Chennai Airport on 7th January 2008 around 8pm.
- Their flight to Bangkok, Thailand (I think this is where they are headed ) was scheduled to depart at 00:15 on 8th January 2008.
As luck would have it, the flight was delayed by 45 minutes. Quite an ominous start, don't you think :). Anyways they are yet to get back to me on their current whereabouts. When they do or if at all they do, will update this on my own. Most probably I'll pass the baton to them so that they would be able to honor us with their progress in their own words. And I don't expect too many words, however I do expect lots of letters :D, just for the sole reason that there will be a lot of slurred and blurred escapades.
Eitherways, I wish them a Bon Voyage and hope they have a blast to kick start the new year.
Cheers,
S!
