Adventure!

Many of us wish to make some adventure trips....like climbing The Everest , Trekking,  Isn’t?
Likewise I too have a dream to travel and experience the climate,know about the place well ..etc etc many more come in the list.

This is my unexpected adventure happened in 2009  September. I was in Chennai living in T Nagar I say near Erst&Young. I use to have a long evening walks through anna salai, chamiers road, cenotaph road, bharatidasan road. I was there for almost 6 months in T Nagar. As I am being very new to chennai google maps was my guru at that time to identify places and of course my kind brother would accompany me always. I remember times when i bihearted the names, turnings etc to return back safely.


One fine day , oops no one fine weekend I got totally bored of the same old roads to have a walk and requested my so called kind bro for a very long distance walk to a different place. I remember many of my friends saying saravana stores a place to visit and shop in chennai mainly for girls as there will be a looong big racks of handbags and chappals to shop. I said the big saravana stores and googled the way and littrelly forced my bro as he is hardly interested as it is a week end and that place will be like a some jatara etc etc. but i had a strong reason I need hand bag as my older one  was worn out due to heavy rains. It also drenched in rains along with me.

so my adventure started, we ended up entering main road and some turns and finally landed up in south Usman road and realised that we took the longest way but still felt happy as the weather is awesome that day. Now the true part of adventure started. The point I entered on to usman road .
I experienced a new form of transport-- I am automatically heading towards saravana stores by the crowd. I hardly walked in my way. I use to think beseant road was the only place with crowds as I experience often in my hometown. But that day I felt happy about my corporation that they took significant steps.

The crucial part of the adventure was inside the sarvana stores. I didnt have a place to stand and breathe even. I am constantly moving along with the crowd. After 20 mins of my hectic adventurous journey inside the stores I became a super women and pulled my bro along with me outside and ran home. some how I manged well while heading back home.

so my adventure started at 4 in the evening and ended at 7 with headache , legs pain and some decisions like 
never go for shopping on weekends . 
never plan a long walk to unknown place.

I called it an adventure because  
I felt like I may not return home that night.
Drizzling in between made people more mad and they started of shouting freaking and those enthusiastic entrepreneurs on road side with lot of girly and children stuff suddenly started moving and shouting.
Even in that environment I felt I am hungry and had a cup of sweet corn and a fruit juice while walking experiencing new way of transport itself.


I am most admired at is sweetcorn walla, having a moving cart with corn , cooking stuff, heat coming out, people buying corn cups and he is able to manage all the stuff n returning the change to customers and standing and moving standing and moving in the middle of the road inspite of blowing vehicle horns.
