Mahabs Trip


It all started when i had this dream of me going to Mahabs which was just a flash back of the trip i was in when i had come to Chennai for a visit from Bahrain where i was then doing my schooling. Got up from sleep realizing it was a dream and i felt really sad about it. Called up my friend who was fast asleep and asked him "U coming to Mahabalipuram??" and to my surprise he was far from being ready to go!! Left off to Mahabs and then went about exploring all the temples which were built almost 13 century's back!! The Shore temple was a retreat to watch which was built by the Pallavas in AD 642. I happened to also see the light house which was built by the Britishers in AD 1900, the structure was very well built that anyone would be surprised to know that this was built almost 110 years back! The temple on top of the mountain even though had proper routes we dint bother to take them, instead took a risky route which we also wanted to get a hold of the trekking part of the game. The trip last for only 5 hours but the exciting part was the thirst at which i wanted to make this trip possible only because of the dream i had seen that morning!! Hope to have similar trips soon!!
