Night Out- Besant Nagar beach

I know its been a while since i blogged. Been busy making the most of my holidays! They were fun but then they are over now Thats life isnt it? Nothing lasts forever. They all have to end sometime just like how every sentence ends with a period. For the whole of holidays i have done absolutely nothing. But i did plan a lot though. Whenever do my plans good. **sighs** But i did do a few interesting things. Like going to watch Diya(man thats was ooooohhh) and going to mcc (aaaaah). But then a great night out in Besant Nagar beach. Nothing ever beats roaming around Chennai at 1 o clock in the night in ur bike. There’s almost a heavenly feel to it. You feel like u and ur frends are the only ppl in the earth. Its an amazing feeling. Man i promise thats not the last time im going out at night. But Chennai is a bit of turn-off for those things.

While we were coming back, there was nothing open. Well Mocha was open but they won’t let us in so late since it was near closing time. Whew what a shame to a city which is becoming modern by the day. Maybe it is just that me n my buddies(Dilip, Nikhil and Sethu aren’t the kinda guys who spend every night out… Just like me!) dint know where to go. Frankly i badly wanted to go to a pub and watch the match between Liverpool vs Marseille but it seems there’s a rule against that too. No pubs or anything open after midnight. What the hell! We are not doing anything illegal are we?? We are just going to places where people go everyday. only we are roaming around at night. Ok i guess there are some law and order issues but surely the police can handle it with certain specific rules instead of closing down everthing. It’s an absolute shame for the city. Maybe it should be something like no alcohol after midnight. That kinda thing which allows people to enjoy themselves and allows the police to monitor things easily. We actually started back at about 1 am and if we had started about an hour later it seems we would have been stopped and questioned at every road and corner! Just the usual “who are you?” questions and “be-a-good-boy-and-don’t-waste-time” advices. We already know that and we were not wasting our time. Its holidays! But i gotta admit there was a pretty high police presence everywhere. Looks like they are taking good care of our city. And i dint see anyone sleeping either.

But for anyone who hasn’t tried it its one of the best things to do. Start at around 9pm. Get a bike or car(surely you are not looking for those MTC buses at midnight!) If u want get some eatables and hit the beach. Why the beach? Because its quiet and you can just walk around and have a peaceful time. Even if its not the beach you can just roam around the city - no traffic no hassles and u got the cool air. Trust me u’l feel like God. Wow! Besant Nagar beach is probably one of the places in the city where shops are open till about 12 or 1 am. There’s Barista, Coffee Day, A burger shop and the local fish fry shop if you are not too concerned about the hygiene thingy. Yoohoo lets get started!

P.S. : There’s one thing about going to the beach at night. But telling your parents that you are going to the night show movie and not going anywhere near the theatre is a totally different proposition altogether!
Have fun fellas!
