So what's even cooler than that... well, its to see the sunrise in the beach, the Majestic hot Sun rising out of the Cold Blue sea, makes me want to compare it to a hot girl rising out of the sea ( like in most movies!), it was like a celestial wonder, even though it occurs everyday that's the only time i got to see this beauty. I got to see this sight and then came along, some added sound and light effects provided by the lightening and thunder with dark black clouds filling up the sky like someone had tipped over a bottle of ink, it was like an end credits to a movie. the lightening bolts were like flashes of a camera which the gods used to take pictures of the earth, the Flash of bright red light against the dark black clouds was a breathtaking richness in color. Thunders are a separate class of sounds, they bring out the fear in you. the loud sound makes your body shiver for a moment, even if you do not fear the thunders, admiring the sunrise and lightening did i realize, there was a storm coming to Chennai... 'laila' was her beautiful name.
I never knew that a storm was approaching, when i had set out early morning to the beach for sunrise sight but it was also a blessing, because i got to get drenched in the mad rain that followed the thunders, it was heavenly with the smell of sand with the first drops of rain gets you into a bliss with nature that you want more of it, so drenching in the rains gets you the most of it. Before the rains, there was a period of heavy gust of winds storming through the beach, carrying as much sand as it could into the air. It was not as much as a sand storm in a desert, but a good prelude to the heavy rain. I got a complete sand bath before i had the rain shower that cleansed me thoroughly, that's when i felt, no matter if you drink it or get drenched in it, water is the elixir of life.

I felt every bit of nature in that single moment, a beautiful sunrise, Cool blue sea, gentle breeze followed by gusts of wind, lightening, thunder and the romantic rains. It's one big moment with mother nature that i would relish my whole life.

Even though I enjoyed every bit of the sight and sounds, there were 3 things i missed during that time - A bike, my camera( i did have a cell camera, but a good one is needed) and a cup of coffee. Maybe next time, I'll have all the 3 things plus my love to make the moment complete.
Unless of course a Tsunami strikes with it !
