Cyclone Nilam @ Marina - 31st Oct 2012

I know that it is risky to go Marina during Nilam cyclone crossing. But I wanted to give a try and thought my car (scorpio suv) could save me in case of heavy rain and wind. It is with me in all my adventures.. Another brave heart Kiran from my office joined me in my cyclone exploration!

Tidel park to Marina drive was so easy since all the city traffic was in the other side of the road. I was doubtful if police could let me in near Marina by 4:30 pm. To my surprise there were many going into Marina. My excitement went beyond boundary when I saw the enthusiastic crowd there.

I thought I will not take my new camera out in the strong wind and drizzle. But ended up being in the crowd. No one knew what is going to happen at any moment. But every one enjoyed the present moment. All become kids eventually. I know it is risky. Life is exiting in the unplanned activities.

I heard one lady telling her friend that she fought with her manager and took half day permission to come marina to experience the cyclone. I was looking at her proudly :-)
