6.30 AM at the Marina Beach in Chennai - The usual sunlit morning sky is a dull grey, full of grey clouds and an almost chill breeze blows us away in sharp contrast to the usually sweaty and hot mornings.

The waves of Marina (Bay of Bengal) are mostly gentle and welcoming... alluring you to step into the waters..

Today is a different picture.The waves seem ferocious - as if in a belligerent mood!

Humming the tamil song "aasaiye alai pole... naamellam athen melle...", we leave.
