I go by the office cab to work, its a pretty long drive from home to work. Its a 90 minute drive everyday and its a pretty interesting drive, if you keep your ears and eyes wide open.Tambaram is a suburb in Chennai and I cross this place everyday when I go to work. This picture was taken on 9th January 2009 and you could see the state of the subway, which is located near the Tambaram Railway Station, connecting Selaiyur and GST Road. Chennai saw rains, nearly two months back, not anytime in the near past, but the picture may make you feel that it just poured yesterday. This subway is alternate to the Tambaram Level crossing and so many people depend on this subway to reach the all important GST Road. Also, this subway is so small that only small vehicles can go through,and with so much water logging, 2 wheelers and 4 wheelers find it very difficult to cross this subway, making it literally unusable.
Interestingly you can see lot of posters of almost all the political parties on either side of the walls of this subway, but none seem to understand that this has got a larger use than just being a billboard.

Venky, Hi This photo is impressive. I was in Tambaram 99-01. Has this been built since? It's a shame planning is done without forethought... Obviously subways all over Chennai have similar issues...
