    satchi

    the billboards really makes you think of blogging on them right..so many ideas/creativities.. have you seen those paintings on mount road..they are equally beautiful.

    you took me through the bumpy ride..now i will be asking one from V when he comes down. there are lots of places in the outers, that are still green ..there are places like the reserve forest with birdwatching and small waterfalls that chennaites are not aware.

    you were saved by the feel of returning it to the sea..i mean the shells, they stink a lot as they dry..not at all palatable to a vegetarian..but i love the sunrise and sunset watching from the beaches..

    good travelogue and nice snaps...

    Thanks Shanvy. Next time I come to Chennai, let us plan a trip to one of these smaller places. Would love to see some natural beauty. :)

    Dear Satchi...
    Bengalooru Chennai road is very beautiful like you said it has very funny boards to read up which keeps the traveller entertained ... Oh ECR is lovely and the shore temple n Mahabalipuram mmm making me long for the beach....The sea is one thing I love best but whenever I go to sea beach we always had very short time though DH complains I forget everything at the beach, its mesmerising experience...the pics are so nice and I am happy that you had lovely holiday....

    That is a wonderful idea Sumitha. And we can have an IL version of "Bhaji on the beach".

    That was a nice write up :). Enjoyed reading it and really missing Chennai and its beaches now.
    About the road signs - maybe they were written so to be noticed..lol. Those were really funny.
