The expansive beach at Besant Nagar in Chennai, India.
Alive during the cooler hours of early morning and late evening, everyone comes here to eat fried food, play a carnival game, and enjoy the ocean breeze. Vendors sell chaat, fried hot peppers and - my favorite - roasted corn on the cob sprinkled with lime and chili powder.
A small hand-cranked bellows fuels the charcoal stove where they hold the corn by its pulled down husk and, once darkness falls, you can see the sparks stretch downwind like a migrating flock of angels.
It is here that the tsunami wave swept over the sands in December 2004.
