  8. My guess, in Kotturpuram, the back-road connecting Adyar’s and Kotturpuram.

    YOu get to this road by turning left after the OMR/Madhya Kailash signal and go through the crowded market area of Kottur.

  10. Yup, that’s the Kotturpuram station. At first I was a little confused, since these days I see families of pigs wallowing in mud underneath the bridge. And then, I saw the date on which the pic was snapped. :)

    C, Don’t you mean turning right (coming from TIDEL towards Madhya Kailash)? A picture like this is only possible from the bridge next to the Kasturbai Nagar station, if I’m not mistaken. (Unless, of course, Arun has something to say about his pair of anti-gravity boots that the US Govt. secretly sent him. ;) )

  11. Its from the small bridge where only people can walk and two wheelers can move. This bridge connects Indira Nagar and Taramani.

  12. i’m actually surprised so many got it wrong. This one was quite simple especially can be easily identified by the tiled red roof – kotturpuram.

    So two possible locations – one is greenways road, but then you would see the adyar river cut across the canal.
    The only other location is kasturba nagar. Its taken from the bridge on SP road outside kasturba nagar station.

  13. and first to get it was m chet, and good job navneeth :D

    I think it had rained when i took the pic and the water was flowing in the canal, so the stink was bearable
