Some Chennai Pics

Chennai-vaasis You must have seen the Royapuram Fishing Harbour in all your years at Chennai!! Well, I hadn't and here are some wonderful images that lodged in my mind!





A VIEW OF THE CHURCH




Did you love the song Vaazha meen? Well, then! Here is the Kombu Thurukkai - looks big like a whale -( Remember the words - Indha Thirumanat-tha Nada-t-thi vai-k-ka Thurukkai Vaalu Annan-go!). Just one of these fishes weighs 1.5 tonnes! Earlier they never used to be able to catch these fishes - now with advanced technology it becomes possible...

These cannot be sold as such, they are auctioned and then salted and sold dry (Karuvaadu! For the Cognoscenti)


Ladies and Gentlemen! KOMBU-T-THURUKKAI!!!





Vari-c-coorai - Loads of it from the icy interiors of the boat!



THE CARTS (MEENBAADI) to transfer the cargo to the auction





" YOU THINK THIS IS NEW TO ME?"




MEENBADI vandi hastening away! Tomorrow's my day off!



DIVING PRACTICE...

MY STYLE IS FREE STYLE...
COLD STORAGE - THE BOAT SAILS TOMORROW



CUTTING ICE TO SIZE
