Escapade

Give me a break from editing, writing, software classes, reporting….please for god’s sake…i want to go to Mahabalipuram… I love doing journalism ya but Asian College of Journalism just considers us to be machines…I want to go to Bob Marley’s cafe and just relax…..Though Mahabalipuram is a really small place where tourists do not stay more than a day I instantly fell in love with it. I found out that it’s image of being a quaint, little village is true. There is nothing splendid about the scenery or beach there yet it still holds its rustic charm that attract tourist from all over the world. I was especially fascinated with a small restaurant on the beach called “Bob Marleys”.

It’s sitting arrangement on the sand, Bob Marleys music, airy and open accomodation, spaghetti and yummy fish fry and lazy attitude of the owner and the waiters make it all the more attractive. Bob Marleys especially beckon people in the evenings. Moreover, the place has a terrace where the customers go and enjoy moonlit night with food, the sight of the dark ocean waves before them. One more colourful aspect about the place is its small jewellery, clothes and footwear shops where things are sold at remarkably reasonable price. Then of-course the temple-sculptures, island temple are worth visiting. But my hedonistic and lazy self just wanted to stick to Bob Marleys and enjoy quiet, romantic evenings with fruit juice, prawns and fishes. Both the times I went there I stayed for more than two days. I intend to go there again, very soon.
