A Visit to Parry’s Corner

One day me(Pradeep - sri's SH) and my wife decided to go out for a long run shopping to Parry’s corner at Chennai. We actually planned to go for buying fancy (covering) bangles available at sowcarpet, NSC  Bose Road.

We reached and we spent our 3 hours of time to roam in the NSC Bose road, its really fantastic to go for it. We nearly travelled 50 kms in our bike (Beach road) to reach parry’s corner.

Sowcarpet is just a small (non south India) north India particularly the Mint street. There are so many shops to purchase sarees, chudi, salwar, etc. Like in north India, we need to bargain to buy sarees. During the noon, pani puri, samosa, kachodi, etc is available in the streets.

Event for the Month of September and the Theme is Chicken

I thank all my blogger friends first of all, who wished for my son Amiitesh's birthday and he enjoyed a lot on that day with all my relatives and particularly during the function time. Amiitesh got up by 5.15am itself on that day and went to bed only by 11pm and he don't want to miss to play with his grand parents and uncles. He was very eager to cut the cake from the time we received it from the bakery. He looked so smart on that day and we had a blast of happiness. He was more eager to see the gift packs he received for his birthday and started playing with them immediately as soon as we unpack the gifts.
