Stories of India- The Rooftop

Right. After a long while, my slow brain finally realised the paradox of blogging. Whatever is too private should not be put online, yet whatever can be shown to the public might as well be put on Facebook anyway where there is wider readership. There is nothing much to be put here except for some half baked shit.

Unless of course, I show you my collection of photographs.

Rooftop of Asha Education Building, Christian Medical College, Vellore, India. We'd go to this place often to have lunch in the form of chicken or mutton briyani. Naturally we'd sit in the shade, but after some walking around the area I discovered this place where I could get a bird's eye view of Vellore.

It's a very refreshing view. On the right (not in photo) there's a hill and in front and on the left you get the endless array of rooftops, all in a different colour. Occasionally you may see someone coming up to do the laundry, or just simply hang around.

There is the sound of traffic in the distance. Up close, it would be really irritating to hear hundreds of cars honking at a time, but from where I'm sitting, it sounds almost like music. Despite the heat, you can sit there forever.

On and off I'd go to this place alone to eat a pie, watch the scenery and enjoy the peace. And try to imprint the image in memory forever.
