All Chennai road users are being caught in the midst of traffic jams while travelling. With the construction of the major traffic intersections carried out, what will it look like after these bridges are completed.
Just have a look of the photos of the bridges which will be coming up in the near future..
A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer.
All of a sudden he said out loud, “Lord, grant me one wish.” Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice the Lord said, “Because you have had the faith to ask, I will grant you one wish.”
The man said, “Build a bridge to Hawaii, so I can drive over anytime I want to.” The Lord said, “Your request is very materialistic. Think of the logistics of that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things.
Take a little more time and think of another wish, a wish you think would honor and glorify me.”
The man thought about it for a long time.
Finally he said, “Lord, I have been married and divorced four times. All of my wives said that I am uncaring and insensitive. I wish that I could understand women. I want to know how they feel inside, what they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean when they say “nothing” and how I can make a woman truly happy?
Now God thought about it for a long time.
After a few minutes God said, “You want two lanes or four on that bridge?”
Life’s missed opportunities, at the end, may seem more poignant to us than those we embraced–because in our imagination they have a perfection that reality can never rival.
Having read many of the blogs on the frisbee event in Chennai, why not myself get into the play.
At first I thought its a simple game similar to a volleyball or basketball, but when arriving at the spot (Besant Nagar beach at 6.45 a.m. on 18Aug’07), I was quite surprised that the frisbee court is almost four times larger than that of a volley ball court.
So should I risk into trying to play this game?
So, stand to the side and just watch the players. Oh the camera phone is a nice utility to make the time a useful one.
In the midst I got the chance to have a guy learn me how to play a frisbee.
Here is a 4 minute video clip shot on my k750i mobile camera
and some of the photos taken at the event..
Mahen listening to the instructions being given by one of the team mates.
The guy giving instruction on some of the changes to be followed for fine tuning the play.
Vatsan – where is ur long hairs man??
Players getting in line for the start of the play.
Just the frisbee had made a fly past…
Teams in action.
There are 14 players in total
Ok, when shall we meet for the next event.
Ok lets make a move…
Then Mahen & me moved on to the shore to have a morning treat of the cool breeze.
A snap of the dilapidated building which has come up in many of the Tamil cinemas.
Mahen shooting me in his camera, I am awaiting to have a look of these photos to blog.
It seems an important sms arrived for Mahen.
What shall we do next. We are hungry, so shall we go to Murugan Idly shop.
Mahen why you have not asked for idly ?? Its Idly shop and you have ordered for a Dosa.
After a nice breakfast I got dropped at the Astalakshmi temple. This is probably the third time I am visiting this temple in my life time.
If my memory is correct I am sure that I have gone to this temple in the summer holidays of the year 1980 or 1982. I was there in Madras for my annual holidays. Then after a quarter century I have made the visit to this place in this year 2007. Years are flying. There is a vast difference in the landscape of the Besant Nagar.
A nice cool climate is a treat to the people living in this sea shore area.
I was there at the Madras Boat Club on 19 Aug’07 for attending the first annual meeting of ‘The Knowledge Foundation’. The meeting was very nice with many debates coming up. The schedule of forth coming programmes to be conducted by TKF has been fixed at the event.
Here are the photos taken at the MBC.
The front view of the Madras Boat Club.
Mahen & Vicky.
The view of the Adyar river with nice reflection is awesome. But the stench of the smell is horrible.
