उत्तर
Yes, I do go for morning walks with my classmate Ragu. I live in Chennai. We go to the beach for a walk. We come across policemen, doctors, aged people, and some small children too briskly engaged in long walks. They enjoy the morning sun at the backdrop of the golden sea. Also, I find a host of vendors selling vegetable soups, bitter gourd soup, and nourishing drinks on the seashore. There are points where pure water is sold in glasses. The spring dug out a few hundred meters near the sea is really sweet. I find one ‘Green volunteer group’ collecting all plastic garbage and cleaning the beach.
