Somersault at Marina Beach
At Marina beach and Elliot’s Beach, it is a common sight to see groups of youngsters practising various acrobatic jumps including multiple somersaults.
This one at Marina has a perfectly positioned needle point at the fulcrum.
From the Marina photowalk organised by Photographic Society of Madras with Mr Deb Lahiri from Kolkata as the mentor.
Diwali fireworks
In spite of high prices, governmental restrictions, and pollution shaming, Chennai kept its appointment with fireworks on Diwali night.
This is a view from my terrace.

Some people from the Jain community feed pigeons every day at the beach. Last Sunday was special for them. The senior Sadhu from Rajasthan was visiting Chennai and he took time to participate in the feeding at Elliot’s beach.

Some philanthropists feed the pigeons daily at the Marina and Elliot’s beaches. The quantity of grain fed every day runs into hundreds of kilograms.
It is always a pleasure to watch the flock of birds take off together and land again for no particular reason after a quiet meal. This also gives a great photo opportunity. Even if you have hundreds of such pictures, every frame is different. One such frame from a recent visit to Elliot’s beach. The famous Schmidt Memorial is hidden behind the flock.
