Sunday In My City - Beach Life

Image
Ok! So here I go. This is my this week's post for ' Sunday In My City '. First of all, thanks to Unknown Mami  who introduced such a wonderful concept to me. For people like me who are interested in photography this is a celebration. I have chosen my favourite weekend spot in my place - the Shangumugham Beach. I have many pleasant memories of this place. This was a regular weekend hangout for my family when my Dad was alive. I still remember playing in the sands with my sister when we were little kids. Anyways... Let me not go into that story now. To begin with, let me take excuse for my rather long post this is going to be. There are around 34 pics. that I'd posting in this.

My last day of Onam vacation

This is the last day of my Onam vacation. I had my comp-off days from last Tuesday. I had my friend visiting and hence made a plan to visit a wild life sanctuary and a hill station which I always wanted to visit. But owing to her falling sick on the way, the trip was interrupted and had to return home on Friday. I was too tired after the long ride and was in no condition to get my tired bones off the comfort of my home (Hi! I started calling it my home. Before I always used to call it just a house. This was just a four walled enclosure with a roof over my head that sheltered me from the onslaught of the weather. But ever since I brought Tasha  in, this concrete building started becoming a home to me. Feel as though I've someone in here for me.) And the best thing I could do sitting here is to share my experiences and thoughts with you friends. I really thank you all for being a constant support and of course for your comments.
