Beautiful Chennai :)

I was going on my late night walk yesterday. Just as I was about to finish it at about 12:30 am, a mild drizzle started. I seldom miss an opportunity to get wet in the rain so I decided to prolong the walk and started walking across the bridge near my house. There was a cool sea breeze and the rain droplets against my skin had a great sensation. As I was going around there was a sudden reckoning that Chennai was indeed beautiful, at least late nights.

Chennai, she is a great city.
She is crazy in the mornings
She is cruel in the afternoons
She slows down at twilight
And late nights, she is beautiful.

If you disagree with me, just go to marina beach and sit there and you’ll know how blessed on is to be in Chennai. White floodlit sand all around, the feel of the sea breeze against your hair, the distant sound of waves lashing, lights of ships marking the horizon, the lights of flights landing and taking off from the airport, and if you are lucky a full moon right in front of you. Go sit there with a good friend and talk of life and you wouldn’t know time passing by. But very soon the police man would come around and ask you to get the hell out of there. Those were lovely days when I used to be in Triplicane. Life moves on… J
