Nilam In Chennai

Yesterday I went to the beach at 3:30pm. Cyclone Nilam was supposed to hit the coast between 4 and 6 pm.

Quite a lot of trees fallen on the ground. The waves were rough at Besant Nagar. But I hadn't heard of the ship which had gone aground, I read about it later. I didn't see it either.

See the waves and how windy it was.

Kick A** Memory

A friend of mine used to say that I had a kick ass memory and she was right. i would remember small details someone mentioned for years I used to remember telephone numbers. Never had to write them down.

Of late I am finding that I cant remember things I read a few weeks back. And I have found myself to have written something where the grammar or spelling was wrong.

I still haven't found myself at a strange place and wondered how I happened to be there. Hmm wonder how that will feel.
