We went to Chennai in April mostly to shop for our wedding, but above all else to catch up with each other, since FH and me we both live miles apart ( he in Maldives and me in Mauritius). So we did all of our wedding shopping in India and went out to pilgrimage to Tirupati, which was awesome for us as hindus. Normally couples in India visit Tirupati as newly weds.
Many Mauritians visit India for their wedding shopping, most of them prefer north India, mostly Bombay and Delhi to shop. But we preferred the south because firstly it is only 1 hour away from Maldives, and since I initially wanted to spend a few days relaxing in Maldives, it was the best city for us. Unfortunately, for me though I was not able to get off work any longer and had to come back home.
FH bought a "gajra" for me, its Jasmin flowers tied to a string, they smell soooo lovely, i kept them on my bedside table at night, and in the morning the whole room smelled gorgeous. In Chennai all the ladies wear one in their hair everyday. So FH bought one for me and put it in my hair, just like in the old Hindi movies, isn't that romantic?
In our hotel, i was just showing off my new nail polish,lol. I think FH has beautiful fingers, I might be biased though, I think everything about him is beautiful ( probably because I love him) lol.
I took this picture on the balcony of our hotel room, its incredible how hot Chennai can get, even port-louis heat cannot beat that. It was so noisy outside, with all the honking..we went back inside in our cool AC room, I just wonder how people in Chennai live without an AC. I must admit however, that I did enjoy myself, it was a different experience all together, after-all I was happy to be on the land my great grand parents came from. will share more pictures of incredible India soon.

hiiiiii. YOU GUYS ARE SUCH A CUTE COUPLE!
i think gajras are super pretty, but i don't wear them because apparently they are favoured by married women more.
