Chennai International Airport ... in India ... 2:51 am ... warm 80 degrees ... colorful Indian airport in various phases of construction ... taxi drivers, women in saris, a sense of vastness and the feeling of different approaches to time ... slow going night time pace ... sleepy Indians (and myself) waiting ... developing world ... a little smoke in the air ... on to Kolkata (Calcutta) at 5 am ... saw parts of 'Slumdog Millionaire' on plane ... made 2 Tamil language speaking friends who came to the US for Masters' degrees from India and now work there as industrial engineer in biomedical field in southern California and in finance in Las Vegas ... liking the openness, friendliness and connectedness of Indians here (their speaking English helps) ...
Walk out of the Chennai International Terminal, India, and into the Domestic Terminal, and the whole air system becomes very Indian. Many, most, wear modern clothes, the Tamil language is on loudspeakers, ... and it's the middle of the night ... culturally surreal or transformative ... perhaps.

Flowers with strong scent in the woman's hair on the shuttle bus, with little child sitting next to her - Indian buses are interestingly illuminated and while this one didn't have moving xmas lights, or the jazz of Bollywood music, the light was grey green surreal in the morning hours - to the plane
