Fishing...

Fishermen in Chennai.. well I am not talking about the ones that go out in the high tides.. These were the ones that were hunting for fishes in the backwaters some kms into the city.. While driving down an old connecting road between the OMR & ECR, i happened to stop by a backwater and had stepped out of the car to look at the scenic beauty and thought of doing some shutterbugging.. well well, before my camera bateries dried out, i happened to capture this lovely snaps...
Even my wife could not stop taking a snap of this priced possesion by the fisherman who wanted to sell this complete lot of fishes for just Rs. 500/-.... Though we wanted to picked some, but for the deal was, "All or none"...


Too much for a family but too less for the camers ;)

:) This reminds me of my Ooty trip..we tried fishing..the guy gave us all fishing rods with a little wheat dough stuck at the end as a bait and we all dipped the rods in a small pond. I have understood i have NO patience for fishing as everu 30 seconds i flung it out to see if i caught anything. :) A friend of mine actually did catch one and we were euphoric. But nature loving people that we are, we put the fish back into the water. it was a win-win for everybody. :)
