I was of the opinion that everything is available in a walkable distance in Valasaravakkam, Chennai - well, atleast till last week. I came in for a rude shock when I went in search of a sports shop for buying a swim shorts. Not just in Valasaravakkam, but in a huge radial, which includes some of the posh localities, I could not locate a single sports shop. I was told that barring one street in Paris, Chennai and another one near Mount Road, there are hardly any sports shop in Chennai. Surprised... aren't you ???
Well - it brings forth a few important aspects -
a) The facilities available for a sports person in Chennai (India?).
b) The level of Chennites interest in sports.
c) If this is the state of affairs in a metro city, what about the rural areas?
and above all...
d) I am gonna start swimming... ;)
