DesiPundit

You would think one beach would be pretty much the same as another, wouldn’t you? Over at E Vestigio, Extempore knows better as she experiences the sands on the Eastern Coast of the country, comparing them to the more familiar ones in Mumbai.

The best part of being there was finding out what coming face-to-face with the Indian Ocean was like, especially after a lifetime of a very intimate acquaintance with the Arabian Sea. The ocean, whether in Madras or along the ECR, seems wilder, the waves crashing with more force than I remember seeing in Bombay. It is also certainly cleaner and with more vividly azure waters. The one thing that stands out most clearly about that night on Marina is how threatening the waters seemed. Two months and more down the line, I am not entirely sure if this is because I am aware of the tsunami.
