Marina beach- the chennai's hot spot..

Mahatma Gandhi, Kannagi, Thiruvalluvar, M.G.R, Annadurai...you people know what, i met them together yesterday. But i missed the legendary actor Sivaji Ganesan. Wait wait, iam not bluffing, nor i was travelling in a time-machine. Probably, Chennai-ites would have guessed by now. I was in the Marina-beach(which is popularly misconcepted as world's second longest beach. But who gives a damn, my Chennai is Chennai and Marina is Marina :) )

The place as everybody knows is one with a lot of activities..Be it the kids who play on the beach sand, the guys playing cricket(remember Ch-28 movie), the vendors selling eatables, the lovers and the list goes on..

Here are a few clicks of this hot-spot....

beach is one of the best places for taking photos of your Shadows ...(by the way, this is my gang and find me out..)

Who can resist looking at the colourful,mouth-watering cotton candies??

(certainly i can't....but mom says "Nandhu, NO cotton candies at beach"...)

The police patrol (or life-guards, that's their real name) can be spotted in the evenings.. But you know what, with such a heavy clothing, they can't actually guard lives ...










CORN...one of the best things i like..nothing can come near the hot-ones on a cloudy evening...
(by the way, this lady is grilling one for me..
and as usual " it's yummy..." :) )










pay Rs 10/- get a paper cone filled with
puffed rice(pori), raw-mango, spices, and hot steamed ground-nuts... What more can you ask for ??
This is a typical sundal-stall on a tri-cycle..
(one of the hot-selling business in beach)








Bhel-pooris, pani-pooris, channa, pav-bhajees
so what is this stall, a mini chat-centre...
(for people who consider their health point of view, don't try this unless you certainly want to)











this is the balloon shooting arcade..
take a riffle, aim one balloon, place your finger on the trigger...shoot..."dishuum"...
"sorry mam, the riffle is not loaded"
:D









But to top the list there are a certain group of folks, like me, who love to do some art in the sand....( i made this, and a few started to copy me :) )


"விலகிச் செல்ல நீயும்,
உன்னை நினைத்து வாழ நானும்
இல்லாவிடில்,
காதலை உணராமலே இந்த அலைகள்
கல்லறை எய்தியிருக்கும் !!"்

(if you are lucky enough, you can also spot a few upcoming lyricist like me ... anyways, i made this lyric, sitting there...)


That's it for now and as usual "do comment"...

nandhu :)
