Then and now. Royal and common.
Spot the Ball
As India and New Zealand face off in Mumbai, these boys are practicing on a concrete strip near Uroor Olcott Kuppam.
Forlorn Marina
Pools of stagnant water, caked sand, fewer people give this pride of Chennai a forlorn look. Hope it will regain its glory soon.

More Silambam
Silambam seems to be increasing in popularity and it bodes well for the children in the city. After the group in Indiranagar MRTS station, I noticed another group on the Besant Nagar Beach. The group must have been there for some time. I noticed it only today. I could not speak to the head coach but the T-Shirts of the children procalimed ‘Devaraj Aasan Silamba Koodam (D.A.S.K)’.
Hoping to see more children take to physical activities.
Pizza Passage
Entrance to a Pizzeria in Besant Nagar greets you with colourful brollies. I have recently seen such colourful displays in the World Trade Park in Jaipur and at the Esplanade in Port Louis, Mauritius. So, it was a pleasant surprise to see such a welcome display in our backyard where it was least expected.
