Hi World…So…as planned we went to the Marina beach the next day…this was the first time I was exercising my photographic skills with our new camera (this photo of the beach with ships sailing is good, no?) (Sony Cybershot DSC W55), which Shruti had bought in Dubai on her way back from Harrogate…Shuba had this big thing for the sundal on the Marina and could not wait to taste this humble Marina beach snack…she monopolised the whole paper cone of sundal and gave us only small morsels…Shruti decided to reduce her mental age and except maybe for their heights, both Teju and Shruti were like 5 year olds…good for them… Shruti is going to contradict this vehemently, that’s why I shot videos of their beach fun… whenever Teju got slightly carried away Mahesh made his presence (very very) felt to make sure that the receding waves didn’t carry away Teju…Shruti didn’t have any such problems…the waves could not have carried her away as she carried herself very well…I was busy with my camera…pretending that I am shooting some grand spectacle…Mani Ratnam’s beach shot scenes (Kannathil Muthamittal; Aayitha Ezhuthu, among others) came to mind repeatedly…I tried to avoid wading into the waves…but was pulled in…and had no choice…I hate this sticky salt water and sand on the skin feeling…after more than an hour of this, we decided to trudge back to terra firma from aqua infirma (!?)…and all those snack bandis were waiting for us…and we ate some south Indian style north Indian chaat…Teju wanted some yo-yo type of thing which lights up when yo-yo-ed…he also wanted a balloon toy, and then decided that he actually wanted an unblown balloon, which the balloon seller was reluctant to sell…and there started this hungama madras ishtyle which made everyone totally hung-up about the whole Teju tantrum…anyway…all of us walked down to Chennai City Centre…Shubha had some Lifestyle redeemable coupons and wanted to find something to buy...and we entered this grand edifice...
Jai
