Out in the midnight...in a Metro

The metro I am talking about is,as i always say.... a not so metro,Chennai.And Chennai at midnight!!Is same as any other small city in India.Not much of night life...just quiet and beautiful in it's own way.It so happened that I had to go to office at around 10.00 pm, that too on a holiday...well the reason was quite unavoidable.Well while going got a lift from a friend. But while coming back,it was just past midnight,didnt want to wait for a cab for another hour...And had to come back home walking(its a 20 minutes walk,from office to my home).

So that was it....Out in the Metro,one fine night (midnight) ...in a city so peaceful...a city so quiet.Just a few autos,or a office cab,police petrol vans,and few people at work on the road People who work in the night,when the city is asleep, whole night may be to keep this city clean n tidy.Huh man!this silence was a bliss..for i had walked on the same road a hundred times during day and in the evenings.There will always be a mad rush of vehicles and people.The MTC and ECR buses,autorickshaws,honking two wheelers and four wheelers and moreover the padestrians.and how am i forgetting the roadside vendors,fortune tellers...sometimes u just dont need to walk...u just move along with the crowd...it takes u in its flow..a flow so inevitable...

And it was the same city...so quiet and peaceful.i had to see it to believe it.
