[Madras 380]Triplicane walk-Photo blog

I have been living in Madras for 9 years now but not once did I take efforts to visit the heritage buildings or tried to understand the histories behind the city.

Thank god this year,I pushed myself beyond my limits and attended couple of walks that was organized for Madras day.Thanks a trillion to people who took us through the walk and shared us the histories ,which I was not aware of  before.

This blog is going to be completely photo based!

Whirlwind January!!!

It appeared that the new year 2019 happened just yesterday but we are already in the month end.
What better way to end the month than to reminisce things happened in the month..With no further ado here you go!

January to me in synonymous with Chennai's BAPASI's book fair..I make it a point to visit atleast twice every year and this year is also not an exception.The only change this time is,I was very mindful in selecting only a select few as we wanted to read all those that is resting in our shelf!
I will do a separate post on what books I got from the fair soon..a photo blog might be :)

Once I was done with book fair,I was waiting for Mylapore festival for the sole reason of visiting the food street:)As always the food street was crowded but we cared the least...Tried the usual delicacies and shopped couple of hand bags :)

I have started to journal my day to day happenings..It was something new for me and I am sure I will maintain the momentum! It brings lots of satisfaction to jot the happenings.Every page carries my happiness,emotions and what not?

I have started to drink a bit more of water..Yes my water intake is low and I truly wish to improvise.
Going to complete one book (Life's amazing secret by Gaur Gopal Das ji).This is a major win as it was long time,since I completed reading a book.

I have started to use Alicia Souza's planner..This needs a separate post!

That is all for now guys...will do a next post soon :)
