Bridge Watching
A very unusual habit with Chennaities , i call it ‘Bridge Watching’ ! Chennai recently saw the opening of new two fly overs , one at Kathipaara near Guindy and another besides the Airport in Trisulam.
Had a chance to travel through both of them.First experience was with the air port flyover. Was travelling at night , when I saw many cars and autos and two wheelers parked by the side of the fly over. I initially thought there was an accident . But fortunately it was nothing like that and to my suprise i find people getting down from their vehicles to watch the near by airport and run way .Truely , the run away and airport view from the fly over was stunning and we could easily see planes taking off and landing off clearly . Many people including me spent some time watching the airport and the colourful run way in awe.

The following week , the same happened at the Kathipaara fly over .The Kathipaara is really good , the fly over is huge and a welcome relief for the traffic congestion for all the chennaities travelling down south.There were flood lights and decoration lights adoring the fly over to mark its inagural.The butterfly shaped fly over view was splendid in short.

Some time back , I was discussing with my cousin abt this , he too quoted similar instance that there are a lot of people who come to see the Liberty bridge near T Nagar for fun at nights .
Quite unusual and amusing too
