Mount Road is deserted - or at least a close approximation; traffic is thin and in the heat of the afternoon, people are in no particular hurry to go anywhere. Except that solitary cyclist, who doesn't seem to care about signals!
There was Chennapattanam and then there was Madras. About 357 years later, in 1996, she became Chennai. And whatever she may be called 385 years from now, she will always remain the "Queen of the Coromandel"! Come wander around this blog. It will give you a peek into her soul!!

Crossing the junction
It is a lazy Sunday afternoon traffic, when people were either recovering from the shock of Chennai Super Kings' defeat on Saturday, or were getting ready for the IPL finals last evening.
Mount Road is deserted - or at least a close approximation; traffic is thin and in the heat of the afternoon, people are in no particular hurry to go anywhere. Except that solitary cyclist, who doesn't seem to care about signals!

Great slice-of-life...it's hard to imagine a road like that bereft of automobiles, buses and trucks!
GOING BY BUS WAS A PLEASURE ON THAT DAY . BUSES RUNNING FAST, NO CROWDS ON THE STREET.
@ Jacob: They don't let trucks into the city roads during daylight hours... and this was a Sunday... as you'd said, it was too good to be true!
@ lviss: It was a pleasure to walk around, too - if you could get over the heat, that is!
