I saw this on flickr just now, and try as I might, I can’t think of a place that has such a bus stop in Madras. It looks like OMR, especially the bougainvillea and the light poles in the middle (blurred out), but the ugly mound of earth right behind the stop doesn’t cue OMR.
So I am guessing this is just off OMR, on the roads leading to either Thiruvanmiyur or Velachery.

Is this opposite Fort St.George? I haven’t seen the actual stop (assuming there’s a new one), but the RHS of the pic reminds me of the Fort’s entrance.

I am guessing it is the beach road (somewhere close to that Marina thingum) I don’t know area name and all… but the road reminds me of the path the bus takes to go to Paris.

Navneeth’s guess, I think, is the right one. Fort St. George.

Yep, Navneeth was right. Its the Fort bus stop on Rajaji Salai. A lot of sprucing up happening in the area, with a nice garden coming up.
And i’m quite happy with the number of wrong guesses, hehehe
