Last Saturday I would’ve walked for more than an hour. I walked from home to Velachery station – 15 mins, and then from Indira Nagar station to Kasturba Nagar station – 7 mins. After that I walked in Theosophical Society with a friend for 35-40 mins. Then I saw him off at the Besant Nagar terminus, and walked to Eliot’s beach. From there I walked to the Besi Fruit Shop on Greams Road where I met a friend.
Along the way I had real fun… I got an eyeful of nature in Theosophical Society, and of an array of coloured bead necklaces at a gypsy jewellery stall in Besant Nagar. I enthusiastically captured the beads on camera, and showed the photo to the happy gypsy. I then made my umpteenth gypsy jewellery purchase as a token of thanks.
I also surrendered my senses to the Besi beach breeze. The wind made a mighty effort to make my hair stick out in all directions, and I didn’t fight. Thanks to my ever-present hairpins, the wind didn’t do a perfect job, but of course I had a great experience.
The walking made my feet scratchy and painful. My sandals had grooved insoles – I guess that was the reason. But despite that I had a great time, and got good exercise. Maybe I should make outings like this an essential part of my weekends.

Scene 1: Auto is speeding down road
Scene 2: A puppy runs across the road
Scene 3: Auto driver manages to avoid hitting the puppy by a hair's width
Scene 4: Two adult members of the puppy’s family bark loudly and chase the auto
I watched the last scene with amusement. This is not a scene from any movie (not “Roadside Romeo”) or serial. This is a scene from life. I saw it as I was walking to office from the Mandaveli station. I know the dogs’ behaviour may not be uncommon, but still it is interesting to watch.
As I was moving down the road, I glimpsed an old abandoned car nearby, under which there were four irresistibly cute puppies. As I walked further down, I noticed the auto chasers walking in a line – a perfect ‘march past’ line, along with a third dog that was a bit smaller than them. It somehow symbolized the strong family bond the doggies had. To sum things up, for me the doggy incident was a nice experience that broke the monotony in my weekday mornings.
