Being a weekend... almost a month end too... had bill payments in the morning.. and thought of visiting broken bridge which is in my minds quite a long time since I saw a photo of Chandrachoodan which i assumed how the broken bridge will be.
Planned once a month ago.. which failed and decided to make it today... When i reached that place, all my imaginations went wrong and felt someone dropped a fishtank obruptly.. Highly unsafe after dark due to its proximity to fishing hamlets and lack of road access.
A kilometre and half away from Besant Nagar beach, Broken bridge is a famous film shooting spot during day-time. It seems that the bridge was built to facilitate the movement of fishermen from Santhome beach to Elliot's beach over the mouth of the Adyar river. The bridge spans across the Adyar estuary bordering the backend of the Theosophical Society. The bridge partly collapsed after due to strong currents of the river during a particular monsoon, and has never been repaired.and now totally deserted, absolutely no lights, just a bridge that extends into the middle of the backwaters and ends abruptly.
Its almost sunset and hightime to move out of that place, started walking towards the beasant nagar bus station.. Found 23C bus and boarded it. Realised the stupidity after boarding it... which took me all the way Beasant Nagar - Adyar - Madya Kailash - Saidapet - Thousand lights - Teynampet - Spencers - LIC - Egmore - Purasawalkam - and atlast aynavaram... in 2 hours. Never expected such a long journey... and thus my week end ended...
