My Office Diaries: A Business Trip to Chennai

Business Hotels in Chennai

As I was walking towards my flight, pulling my trolley, I realized that this was the first time I was heading for a solo one-day business trip. The thought of facing an important business scenario all by myself was somewhat scary but on the other hand, I was thrilled to roam around the city alone.

As I walked outside the airport with the intention of taking a cab to my business hotel in Chennai, I was welcomed by Chennai’s famous scorching heat. Preparing for the meeting all throughout the ride, I hoped for the best to happen. While I was stressing out I noticed the artistic side of the city, the graffiti walls near the Stella Maris College, which literally calmed me down with a sense of joy.

Even though I was overpowered by stress, I tried not to show that during the presentation. All thanks to the friendly client, I was able to put out my strategies clearly in turn cracking the deal successfully. After the meeting I walked out of the venue with a sigh of relief and with the excitement of exploring the city. As a resident of Delhi, beach was something new for me. So without much ado I left for Marina Beach. The waves, breeze and the panoramic beach view urged me to spend quality time there.

From there, I left for another major attraction of Chennai, Kapaleeshwarar Temple. Built in the year 1566, the architecture elements of the temple mesmerized me. After a quick visit to Lord Shiva in Kapaleeshwar Temple, I rushed back to my business hotel in Chennai.

Taking my luggage, I checked out of my corporate hotel in Chennai. On my way to the airport, I was lucky enough to get a full-fledged view of the Marina Beach again. So with the joy of making a new record of covering two of the most popular attractions of the city after a big business break in a day, I went back to Delhi.
