Hi guys,
In Chennai,in the year 2005 there was floods and every where it was filled with water and in all radios they where announcing that no one should go out and all trains are cancelled due to rain.
OUR PLAN:
This is the time where I and my roommate Sathish decided to reach our home town salem which is 350 km away.Both packed our things and got ready for our adventures trip.We called to railway station to know about the train status and they said that some trains which are starting from chennai are going to be started from tiruvallur station which 50km away from Chennai and the stating time is 4.00 clock.So we thought that the best way is to get the train.
WALK TOWARDS ADYAR:
Now my friends in Adyar also planned to start with us.Madavaraj,Gowtham,Narien Morthy now we 5 guys strated(like kaka kaka).It was 11.00 clock I and sathish moved towards Adyar form Kotturpuram by walk.I planned to wear my shoes for extra grip in the water and the time i stepped out my shoes completly wet I was enjoying myself and expecting the risk i am going to face.All our way it was mud and water it made the walk so hard and slippery.So we planned to walk on the railway track(Parakum Train,Flying Train).We Entered the Station and it was winds pushing us due to limited area there was no way the air can circulate inside the station.So we were suffering to fight the wind and we went to hte top and there we relaked and the win was normal Sathish was carring an Umberlla and it went back in the winds.And we walked on the railway tracks to Madhyakailash Temple bus stop safely.My friends waiting there to move towards Trivallur and no one knows which bus takes us there and after many enquries we got longest way to reach the spot.We always haveing the back up plan of going by bus.So we prefered our way through Koyambadu(CMBT).Our journey was in Pondicherry bus towards Koyambadu.
NEAR IIT MADRAS:
Opposite to IIT campus and Gunidy snake park it was filled with rain water the entrance of Guindy snake park was looking like a new river has formed. Our bus was just crawling on the roads.As and ever our chennai peoples never stopped and due to rain many trees had broken and the traffic was jammed and they were just moving inches and it took one hour to come Anna University(I have still not seen the horror of flood). After Crossing the Governors bunglow it was were the floods was to it worst conditions those who travelled by bike stuck in the middle of water their bike silencer was filled with water and no way to get their bike./*This was a lesson that we should never travel by bike while Floods */.We used to get down from our bus and get something to eat and again come and get into the bus.This was the speed of our bus.
NOW IN GUINDY:
The shops built under the building was completly filled with water only shutters where their only proof but it was sure that the water has gone in.The water was near to the neck of a person and Autos were floating near us our bus was just moveing in the shallow end.Driver was very carefull that he is on the shallow end and now it was 3 o clock we travelled 5 km for 3 1/2 hours .Then reached Kathiparai and we lost the hope of getting Train and moving to Koyambedu.One of our team Narein said he will move form Kathipari to Krishnagiri and i was stuburn only from Koyambedu.And we said bye and moved towards koyambedu
