i chanced onto your site while searching the web for the progress of the metro in madras. appreciate the liveliness and the sense of attachment you have for the great city. i always wondered how this place on earth (probably the worst city in terms of weather) ever grew to be one of the liveliest metropoli around. it’s probably because madras always had people like you.. keep it up and i will be a regular visitor henceforth. on a separate note i’m one of the active members of madras bulls – one of madras’ best rider clubs. do a story on us and im sure you will have another of your to-do’s crossed out

Its ECR, Buckingham canal and OMR (Rajiv Gandhi Road) from left to right. OMR can be identified by the two bends seen in the bottom of the photo and the taramani road going perpendicular to it. Also, the RMZ millenia road is seen joining the OMR at the far end (top) of the photo.

OK, this cannot be OMR, ECR and Buckingham canal for the simple fact that this area is not densely populated, and besides, you don’t see any of the new construction here.

But, there’s a lot of greenery here, and a lot of open space, which points to either South Madras or West(Ashok Nagar/KK/Anna Nagar). This, the presence of greenery, rules out Egmore and Central, for North Madras, especially around the Central are not this green. And besides we’d have seen Nehru stadium in the frame.

My best guess, taking in all the above points is, somewhere around Lattice Bridge Road or Indra Nagar, Adyar. It could even be Besant Nagar, but I go with Adyar area. Not going to be specific here.

Guessing it’s GN Chetty Road, Thyagaraya Road and VenkatNarayana road, leading out of Panagal Park.
