I went to pulicat to visit my friend vinodh who is staying at vairavan kuppam , pulicat . I started my journey to pulicat from central by train and reached ponneri . I took a direct bus to pulicat from ponneri , the bus journey was like wild safari because the bus driver drove the bus at top speed . Whenever the bus hit speed breaker it jumped up and down . After crossing the main city I saw marshy lands , agricultural lands , lot of beautiful water birds such as open billed stork , painted stork , paddy bird , egret , pelican which was a chill out for my city eyes which had seen crows and pigeons in every day life . After what i felt as an adventruous journey I reached pulicat bus terminal and moved on to vairavan kuppam by share auto.
It is a sea shore village where you always get welcome kisses from sea breeze and hear the fearsome sounds of waves reaching the shore. As soon as I entered the house my friend's father a fisher man of vairavankuppam asked me to join fishing . I was very excited about sailing into the deep sea and prepared my self for sailing .He took me in his non mechanized boat and a few metres into the sea the land disappeared and slowly I saw only majestic Bay of Bengal. The boat was jumping up and down due to wind action and harsh waves which gave me an un forgettable experience.
After reaching the target place he threw his fishing net and we got some bunch of fish . We returned to village by early afternoon , even after reaching land I felt like floating in water and felt as i triumphed . After a hour of rest , I went to fish market along with my friend vinodh which was a small stinging area . At one side, I heard screams of vendors selling fishes and other side I saw stocks arriving from the godown and also lot of fishes such as sardines , mackerel , cat fish, goat fish , sting rays , cuttle fish , squids , crabs ,shrimps , eels etc .I learnt local names of those fishes from the vendors as I am interested in learning the names . I spent rest of the day with my friend’s family and I started my return journey. I left the place unwillingly by saying good bye to my friend who came to bus terminal to send off me.
