MARINA BEACH AT IT'S BEST
If you want to meet really enterprising and cheerful people, go to the Marina beach in the evenings. I saw kids and youngsters selling stuff for living but were so cheerful and optimistic.
Chukku Kapi! That should take care of the cold and running noses
The balloon man.
My kids were his customers
They were not worried about tomorrow, but were living today
Sone pappadi boy! as sweet as his sone pappadi :)
Sand sculpure of a croc by my kids.
We named him SCOOBY the CROC as he looked funny and harmless
My kids want to do a sculpture every week. Sounds like fun. They are planning
to build an elephant next time
Two kids selling sundal. They have to finish the selling go home and study.
Actually they were squabbling, but became buddies for the camera
Chukku Kapi! That should take care of the cold and running noses
The balloon man.
My kids were his customers
We did not entertain him as we had already had lots of sone pappadi.
Have come to the beach to loose weight, not gain!
The flute man. Got to inform IRIS
Makka cholam (Corn) with flying sparklers?
Soups, fried rice...
and the usual bajji's
Good walk! finished a multi course dinner!
from sone pappadi's to bajji's....
GOOD NIGHT :)

Smiley,
Good one! Feeling nostalgic after reading this! Reminded me so much of the good old Marina Beach & I'm just waiting to be back there & revive the good times! Thanks buddy.
your kids sculpture is very nice. waithing to see the elephant from your kids next week. Marina beach is the best entertaiment for chennai people like us.:) nice Photos. My favorite food in beach is Sundal.
you are making my mouth water....esp...for some reason the chukku kappi stood out for me.....may be some forgotten memory....
As long as our kids enjoy other kids selling stuffs for living we can have such perceptions..I feel we shud be ashamed that our younger ones are selling son pappadi in beach when they actually shud be in schools busy learning. Sorry I dont definetly agree with your rasanai. Disgusting.
injey, we were on he other end of marina beach. got to go by the anna samathi to get fried fish. welcome and drop in often :)
