::WeMissedIt::

It was a disappointing morning for many including me this morning. Though I was back in town only at 11.40pm the previous night from madurai, I wanted to go and capture the famous solar eclipse of the century. Thanks to Aarthy, Arul and Jahnavi for waking me up with their wake up calls.

But, the denizens of the city longing to watch the century’s longest total solar eclipse were disappointed as a thick cloud cover blanketed their view this morning. Hundreds of people who had gathered at the famous botanical garden Lal Bagh armed with special glasses to view the eclipse, waited in vain for hours.

Bharatha Jnana Vijanana Samithi, an organisation working towards eliminating superstitions surrounding the eclipse, served south Indian savouries like upma, kesari baath and coffee at the venue.
