My little vacation!

My family decided to take a little trip to Pondy thanks to my cousin and sister in law coming down. So the plan was we would go to Pondy, have some fun and visit our native temple which is a little past cuddalore. Everything was going as per plan. On saturday we went to the beach and the Aashram and had a good time. it was decided that would leave from Pondy at 6 to go to the temple. Again things went as per plan and when we almost reached the place, there occurred this chaotic situation. The worst traffic i have seen.

From inquiring from others close by, we learnt it was a 'muhurtha naal' and hence the mad rush. I swear there must have been more 300 people just walking and many many cars, vans, cycles, autos, buses. It was just crazy. There was no order what so ever. the police finally arrived so i thought there would be some relief. Man was i wrong. The situation only got worst. I really had the urge to go tell the cop that hes doing a horrible job. (But i dint)

So we decided to walk to the temple since werent too far from it. So with great difficulty, we walked in some little spaces left for people to walk. when we were like a kilometer away from the temple, we saw around thousand people standing. we were astonished. we visit this place every year and have never ever seen this kind of crowd actually not even 1/3rd of the crowd. All this because of a few marriages?
Its just unbelievable. I think it was a few hundred marriages.

So we finally gave up and had the most difficult walk back to the car and managed to get back to Pondy without visiting the temple, sadly :( What a waste of time and getting up so early on a Sunday morning!
