Dark skies. Ice-cold rain. Stormy winds. An extremely rough sea. A desolate thiruvanmiyur beach. 5 people in all. A boy-girl rosy eyed pair. I liked them instantly. Just because they were there at that point. Two other strangers, an umbrella apiece. And me, a helmet on my head, and the rest of me getting wet. Troubles? What are they? Life is all bliss...
But then, the skies clear. The winds cease to blow. The sea calms down. And real life resurfaces...

I was transported back in time. A little girl, smitten by the ocean, dressed in shorts, on a Sunday morning, dying to let go of her dad's hands so she can run into the waters at Marina beach (which used to be super clean at 6 in the morning).
