Had a query about parking. Need to be at the US Embassy and their VAC at Cenotaph Road for US visa interview/OFC this week. Are there safe (as in, car won't be towed away) parking options around these 2 locations ? - For Cenotaph Road, is there an option to park under the flyover ? - What about the US Embassy at Cathedral Road ? |

Thanks, callvvijay !!! Today took a bus from Thoraipakkam to MadhyaKailash and then an auto from there to Cenotaph road - quick, hassle-free & economical too. Same for return. Left office at 1:30PM and was back in office at 4PM. The Embassy visit is early in the morning - will have to depend on a cab. These are the times I wish I was staying in the city, instead of the outskirts. Sholinganallur to Gemini makes me feel like a cross-country ride. |

Noticed this van with a camcorder on top. This was on the Inner Ring road connecting GST to Velachery. Any idea what is it for or anyone seen this earlier ? |

Most likely for some TV channel to capture roadside scenes for the news. |

It was moving at a slow pace while capturing. There was no other crew or anybody else along with the van, just the driver. Also he was not stopping or anything just moving on while the camcorder was on (not sure if it was recording), since I could see the LCD. |

I did not know that it had a parking. Most times I have seen the park closed. So wish the Woodlands drive-in still existed there. And not just for the parking, but for a place to hang-out with friends - we have had some tbhp meets there too. |

Might be the security guard was not there when you had visited. The one time my friend did this (a few months back), he was almost shooed away by the security guard in the park. The guard had told him that he can distinguish between those going to the park and those going to the Embassy - neatly tucked-in formal attire. He had to convince the guard with some $$. |

Thats vidteq. More details here - http://vidteq.com/ They have a good concept of showing the route maps via videos. So if you want to travel from Jayanagar to ITPL (Bangalore) Or from Adyar to Airport (in Chennai). See the video route, get directions. So you know how exactly the roads, cuts etc you can expect. ..... . |
if they had worked along with Google maps. |
