During our today's visit to the beach we had carried with us our frisbee to spend some time getting fit the fun way.. I have always found Marina / Bessy beaches to be my favourite place to people watch and today morning happened to be one such occassion, it is one of a kind place where in the same place people are doing different things at the same time.
It is a common site to see a bunch of kids practicing karate, morning walkers taking a brisk walk along the stretch, youngsters playing volley ball, groups of people practicing yoga, fishermen jus' coming out from the sea with their day's catch, couples taking a stroll along the shores, kids collecting shells, building castles and lots more ... ( This is jus' what happens in the earlier part of the day and the place looks entirely different in the evenings with bajji stalls and shops selling different curios, more like a flea market).
It was a refreshing start to the weekend ahead ! :)

Lovely write-up,even I love just taking a lazy stroll in the Marina, of course now it is too crowded during the evenings.
Wow, Shalu lets make this happen when i am in town next time
I never visited Marina early in the morning :( Sleepy Ganesh...Started dreaming for this
Santhome and Marina have been a part of my childhood. Such lovely description, makes me want to go there pronto!
I love it!!! I would like to do a jogging in Marina early in the morning(Can't beat the fresh air !!!) I like all the pics, esp. Amma & Appa playing - Way to go Shaloo!!!
Nice one shalu!! Enjoyed the pics. Have many fond memories of Marina beach: morning walk on sundays with dad, playing cricket to name a few. Go for the next target with mom & dad. u know what it is!!
Hey Shalu, Very nice. Now stop being lazy, drag Shankar & Kala to beach every weekend. Enjoy! :)
Sounds like fun :)

@Ms.Chitchat
Thank you :) Yup, Marina and bessy are both crowded during the evenings, neverthless the charm of the beach makes us wanting to go there over and over again.
@DG
Yup sure, will make to Marina one morning leave Ganesh mama at home .. I haven't managed to catch the sunrise at the beach in all my years of staying in Chennai *sigh*
@Sathiya
Ya Chitappa, nothing to beat the fresh air - the urge to go to beach never goes down.. Marina now has a new stretch for walkers and joggers in addition to the one that was already there.
@Ganesh
Marina certainly holds a special place in the heart of all of them who has lived in Chennai ... yea I know what ur talking about :) :) :)
@Sundu
Yup, planning to do this a lot more often.. Appa was the one who initiated this :)
