ECR Road, Haunting sun, you and your machine…

May 1st 2009
We started towards our good old Pondy on our lovely Yamaha’s.
It was around 3 when we started and we got the beautiful East coast road in another half an hour.
It’s May and its Chennai hence Mr. Sun was on his festival mood,
Still we rode and we had our flying Yamaha’s and the hot breeze on our backs.
The ECR is always a beauty with blue Bay of Bengal at the sides. It‘s a drive with a spectacular scenic beauty with beaches and fishermen hamlets.
We did not race but we rode, we had enough time to kill and what else can be compared to be on your bike on a beautiful highway.
It is just a normal 150 km drive. But the beauty of these roads is every time you come they make you fresh in the scotching sun. We stopped once for every 50 km and we find a surprise beauty on the same road. This time we found a beautiful passage of water bisecting the road and a village nearby.
It was a treat to watch the people cross the water to get their places. And I saw my grandma’s home for a second.
We reached around 7 in the evening and got an ok beach house, as most of the good ones were full.
It was a hut, an ok stay. But a bottle of beer would make you sleep with no roof needed.

5.30 Early in the morning. Pondy beach.
The beauty of few fisher men in the blue waters,
The sun slowly setting up for his festival mood, its heaven.
It’s no wonder people say train, elephants and sea are the wonders, that you don’t get bored on seeing them daily.

We had a good bath, a few cyber shots and then a sun bath. Doesn’t it say aloud worth living?

We were back to the so called hut and let our thoughts flow by,
We started back to the mechanical world - the metro Chennai by 3 noon and we were there by 7 in first floor of kodambakkam.

A great week end ends.
