Marina, originally uploaded by harishkrishnan.

Marina beach, claimed to be the second longest beach in the world (claimed because of an article in wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina_Beach) taken from the Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) train.

Since the same suburban train runs in MRTS too, one can enjoy a good sea breeze as the train crosses this section. As the train passes the beach for few minutes, the salt air deposits a different feeling in our face. If the train was a closed one with big glass windows for viewing, it would not have been great (Though I agree that the trains used now can be kept more cleanly).
