Rural Ambiance
Though Chennai is a quintessential metro, you need not go far to get feeling of a village. Nemam, just a few kilometres away a typical rural agricultural community.
The Old Woman and the Sea
This old woman with her meagre belongings was loitering on the beach. Maybe she was looking for some remnants of fish or for some alms.
Water Body
Madras city and surroundings had many natural water bodies once upon a time. Over time, most of them have been encroached upon, leveled, built upon “developed” or abused in many ways.
So, I was happy to see a lake (eri – ஏரி) in Nemam village being protected by a proper bund and the water being used for irrigating rice fields in this area. I have also heard about several initiatives by the Government, NGOs, and citizen groups, to protect and retrieve several water bodies in the city. Let us wish them luck and offer whatever support they need.

Nemam is a small village of about 30 kms from Chennai. It is known for its paddy fields and a sprawling tank, besides a few temples. Our Photowalk #140 took us to this village and its surroundings.
Symbol of Hope or Despair?
The hand operated water pump can be a symbol of hope or despair depending on whether it is still a source of water or abandoned.
