chhenai to ennore

Its been a long time since i'd gone for a cycle trip somewhere away from the city so decided to get out. actually two friends were supposed to come but one (yash) kept his phone in silent mode so didnt get up :-p. and even more unfortunate for madan whose cycle tyre refused to pressurize in the morning damn. so after two people couldnt make it to our meeting place it was just me standing in madhya kailas at 0555 thinking where to go. decided to go to marina beach and come back home. i started riding towards marina and reached too soon at 0610
so decided i'll keep driving some more distance. soon i decided to keep driving to north of chennai as far as i could for two hours and then turn back.

Had never explored the north part of chennai. immediately after marina beach comes chennai port, and after that its parrys and few more kms from there its royapuram. after parrys the road in royapuram is alongside the coast and theres a sea wall and there are groynes every km all the way till ennore which is where i ended the northward journey. the coast was just so beautiful. because of the sea wall the waves hit so close to the road that you can hear the sound of the waves hitting the rocks all along the road. one side of the road was occupied completely with atleast a hundred container trucks standing in queue and moving at snails pace. by the time i reached ennore it was 0745 and time to turn back. spent half hour sitting on the rocks and took many photos with my phone and then started driving back. reached home at about 1015 not to late for breakfast at home. was becoming too hot and difficult to drive after 10 anyway. so reached home at right time. had great time cycling as always.

india wins!!!!

1went for men's hockey Asia cup finals in radhakrishnan stadium in egmore, chennai. india defeated korea 7-2. hockey is just so much fun to watch. its so fast and you cant take your eyes off even for a second. watching the game in stadium just dropped the graph for my love for even lower which has already been falling from long time, last major crash was during the fifa world cup and now after watching hockey in real stadium theres very little hope left. i just dont understand how people can watch it for whole day. i mean how can people have so much time? and test matches? omg dont even talk about them. India still lives on cricket. actually even for the finals of asia cup there were hardly any ads on tv! my bro who was watching from gurgaon actually told me tht during half time there weren't any ads and the camera was just constantly pointed at the crowd in the stadium. that never happens in cricket. actually now a days there are so many ads in cricket that they start the ads even before the ball stops moving after the last delivery of every over and the ads end just before the batsman hits the ball. just pathetic. and the ads go on whole day without even 2 second gap. i really dont understand how can people have so much time to come and watch the game for whole day. anyway back to hockey the game was just awesome. chief minister of the state had come to give the trophy and so the security was tight from the very beginning of the match with ample number of policemen to control the huge crowd that had turned up. after the match the indian team kept signing autographs as we were leaving. they were the defending champions and they did very good job defending the cup and winning it again. hope there are more matches in chennai, i'll try to keep an eye on the proceedings of my new addtion to list of my favourite sports.

hockey time baby

Asia cup, India enter finals after defeating Japan with 4-1. finals tomorrow against Korea at 1830 IST.

take me away

AVRIL LAVIGNE LYRICS
"Take Me Away"

I cannot find a way to describe it
It's there inside; all I do is hide
I wish that it would just go away
What would you do, you do, if you knew
What would you do

[Chorus:]
All the pain I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable; come and take me away

I feel like I am all alone
All by myself I need to get around this
My words are cold, I don't want them to hurt you
If I show you, I don't think you'd understand
Cause no one understands

[Chorus]

I'm going nowhere (on and on and)
I'm getting nowhere (on and on and on)
Take me away
I'm going nowhere (on and off and off and on)
(and off and on)

[Chorus]

Take me away
Break me away
Take me away

love the song so thought i'll post it.
