A Bird's Eye view of Chennai from Light House!!!


Most of those who have Chennai as their birth place, might not have visited the light house and I was one among them till 6th Dec 2013. I have to be honest, it's been more than 3 years since I visited the Light House but still I am able to recollect the memories as if it happened recently.

 Situated at the beginning of the world famous Marina Beach, it was opened to public after a gap of 2 decades. The view from the top is absolutely stunning, especially the sea side view, provides a different outlook about the sea.

 There are totally 10 floors at the light house and the 9th floor alone is open for public view. You can reach the 9th floor using the elevator service.

 Pictures should speak for themselves and I hope you too will agree as you go through them!!!

Yeah, you won't survive the fall
Calmness of the Sea!!!
The Green Corridor
Chennai's very own MRTS!!!
Two major structures that defines Chennai (Chepauk Stadium & Tamil Nadu Government Multi Super Specialty Hospital)
View of the Staircase!!!


I would suggest you to go and visit this place sometime after lunch, probably after 3PM. Once you get down, you can enjoy the evening walk along the shores, feeling the waves. But now, you will definitely have a different perspective about the sea, calm when you look from above and not so calm when you are up and close.

DRIVE TO KODAI IN THE BE(A)ST BIKE!!!

For a very long time, I have been wanting to go on a drive in my Royal Enfield 350. Everytime, the idea will be dropped at the planning stage due to some constraint. However, few months back, myself and my friend wanted to get this plan worked out and decided to go on the trip on Jan 26th 2017. Basically, the plan was to do a round trip, Chennai - Kodaikaanal - Chennai. Planning Phase: During the initial period, there were many who showed interest in joining us for the trip. However, as the days passed by, the interest level got drained off and it was myself and my friend who decided to go on this trip. Finally, it was 2 bikes (2 Royal Enfield 350cc), 2 people (Myself and Sudhakar), 4 days trip. The plan itinerary was to start our drive on 26th Jan early morning 4:30AM and reach Kodai around 5PM the same day. Next day (27th Jan), local tour of Kodai (Visiting all the primary spots). By 28th Jan morning, around 8AM, start our journey and head towards Salem for our night halt an...

THE BEAST UNLEASHED!!!!

In the month of Jan 2017, I was happy to have accomplished and share with you all, my first ever bike trip to Kodaikaanal  and it was an amazing experience. By the end of the Kodai trip, myself and my friend were contemplating the idea of going on another trip probably few months later. And now, after 7 months, we have completed an awesome bike trip and I am very eager to share the trip along with you all. Ever since we completed the Kodai trip, whenever we met, we always ensured to remind ourselves that we have to go on another trip somewhere, sometime soon. Finally, we decided to use the long weekends in the month of August 2017. As always, there were initial hiccups on deciding the places, between Wayaanad/Ooty and finally out of nowhere the thought of Coorg lit us bright. Planning Phase: After much discussions, the date was fixed and by 25th July 2017, we decided and confirmed that we shall be doing a bike trip to Coorg (Madikeri) and the route plan will be CHENNAI ...
