The Palar river had flowing water during this monsoon season. The last time river Palar had flowing water was in 2002. So it it was a rare experience for citizens of Vellore!
Sanjeet Peter and I happened to be at Vellore during that week when the river was full with water flowing almost from edge to edge!
With hundreds of people on the overbridge watching this rare sight, it looked festive. Almost all vehicles slowed down over the bridge to get a sight of the river that police had to regulate the traffic!
What fascinated me even more was watching this group of men catching fish with the help of a mosquito net! Not that they caught much fish, but it was certainly a pleasant and leisurely activity for them!
I admired these men for their adventure spirit!
One way to break the monotony or stereotypy that sets into our lives is to respond to the instinct of adventure when we feel awakened by its call!
