Globe Trotting!

The first thing that crossed people’s mind when they heard the name,”V.G.P Golden Beach Park” was Sridevi and Jeetendra juxtaposing in front of beautifully carved pillars facing the gigantic “Golden Beach”, heroes and heroines chasing each other and romancing on the shores of the beach with beautiful blue sky overhead,mightly waves kissing the shores and crystal clear blue sea water. V.G.P Golden Beach Park in Chennai was the abode of various directors,producers,cinematographers and film makers long ago.


I too remember visiting V.G.P Golden Beach Parkwhen I was in my 7th grade on account of All India Tour sponsored by my dad’s bank! I reminisce the beautiful scenaries,sculptures,artistic carvings,spots,locations apt for filming a movie and not to forget the beach. The park had erected huge structure and sets where many renowned hindi,telugu,tamil and kannada movies were shot.

Recently,I visited V.G.P Golden Beach Park with my in-laws when I went to chennai for my “Student Visa” interview. I was shell shocked looking at the annihilated state of the park. I still wonder if this was the same beach park which had satiated and gratified me when I was a child.

Things which leave you shocked are:
1>The entry fee per person is Rs 150/- . I dont mind paying Rs 150/- and entering. But what’s disgusting is ALL the rides inside are “pay rides” in spite of you paying an entry fee!! Wonder why they charge Rs 150/- at entrance though!! Only few children rides are free!! Where as in places like “Appu Ghar” [delhi] or “wonderla”[bangalore], you just need to pay at the entrance and can enjoy any number of rides,any number of times.

2>Pathetic Maintainence: You will see few sculptures,statues destroyed. Place is littered very badly. Toilets are filthy. Flush doesn’t operate in toilets!

3>Place is deserted: If you enter the park with mindset of finding large number of people savoring the spot like you,then welcome to reality! The place is deserted. You hardly find a handful of people. Where as even people operating the rides will be missing at perticular rides or will be found snoozing.

Since my childhood,I desired to visit the Magnificent and Grandiose cataract,Niagara Falls and also ride in a Black Limo. This May 6th 2010,being our First Wedding Anniversary,Pradeep made my dreams come TRUE by planning a surprise trip to Niagara Falls as well as surprise Black Limo ride.


Since,there is no direct flight from our place to Niagara Falls,we had to take a flight to Atlanta and then a connecting flight to Buffalo,NY. After 1 hour of flight journey,we landed in Atlanta. Later,it was 3 hours journey from Atlanta to Buffalo,NY.


Tired and famished,we landed in Buffalo airport at around 12 PM on May 8th,Saturday. Least did I know that another surprise awaited me at Buffalo airport! When we sought our luggage and were waiting for our taxi,the driver dressed in black suit held a placard at the airport displaying Pradeep's name on it. While the driver escorted us to the taxi,I saw him taking us to the direction of a parked flamboyant shining Black Limo!! I went bonkers seeing the Black Limo especially waiting to escort us from Buffalo airport to Niagara Falls and vice versa. The Black Limo ride was AWESOME!! We thoroughly enjoyed driving in the magnificent Limo for the first time in our lives!! We shot few pics inside the Limo.We reached our hotel,thanked the driver for such an enthralling drive and requested him to capture few pictures with us standing with Limo and he obliged.

A fortnight ago,Pradeep came home for lunch and informed me that he is scheduled to tour to "Seattle" in order to attend his SAS Conference. He was a bit disappointed about this trip as I could not accompany him.
