Make hay …..
… while its shining, yes this September in Chennai doesn’t seem to be raining and its shining / sunny bright. So this man decides to help his cattle with more hay stacks (on his moped though) transported.

Kill that …..
… it was a really funny to watch this sign in a mobile shop. He’s not just selling Mobile phone or Accessories, but also value added services like these ….. Good entrepreneur and most importantly has a good humour i presume.

Summer special
To beat the heat in Chennai there are many ways (is it?), one heads to the Marina Beach in the evenings to catch a good breeze, one drinks tender coconut, or have an ice cream or have some fresh juice or butter milk or the melons.
