nick,
Great pics. Any reason why you masked out info regarding the Jewelery store ?

Maybe... he doesn't want to be accused of working for Prince...

Maybe... he does work for Prince...

Maybe... he just doesn't like Prince...

Bit of a waste of time though, as the style is unimstakably, errr... Prince!

Thanks!. Well, to answer your question, it is because i took the pic of the car and not the store, which is a commercial establishment. I'm not advertising for anyone. Any other questions ?.I hope not and i pray my explanation satisfies your curiosity, Sir.

Cars in Chennai. Lots of new kids on the block.

Gilead · 28th August 2009, 00:46

Is this the same Chennai that I live in!? Everything looks a lil too neat. :-) Great pics.

The wide, tree-lined avenues of besant nagar. One of my most favourite places in chennai.

enjoy.

anekho · 30th September 2009, 23:58

@anekho

Nice pics. Expecting more!.

I've been taking pics while driving around too. Through RK Salai, Teynampet, Anna Nagar, GN Chetty Road, MMRT parking lot and staright into the atrium of the soon to be opened 'Ampa Mall' in Aminjikarai.

bottle · 2nd October 2009, 21:45

which mall is that in the above post?

edit never mind google gave me the answer

MutantX · 2nd October 2009, 23:15

The new estilo looks much better than the old one. Nice pics nickatnite. Chennai is a wonderful place if not for the traffic.

Nice idea to picture one's own city as a travelogue. And sure my city Chennai looks better on those pics of yours.

I guess the best picturesque drive in chennai would be at the ECR post Uthandi and GST post Tambaram

I travelled through Chennai Last Sunday as I was travelling from Anakapalle to Trichy.As it was sunday i could traverse the city in one hour.I was impressed by the flyover near the airport it used to take 20-30mins to cross the junction but this time just 2mins to cross the place.

Nice chennai in pictures
but may not be so cool as it is when you roam around in the usual chennai traffic.
Thanks
