1. When there is a slight downpour and after it stops there is a great commotion all over. People do rampant redlight jumps throwing indiscipline unleashed and safety to the air. I believe four wheelers should ensure unabated by rains etc because they are not personally disturbed by the rains because they have wipers and and other latest gadgets to protect them from getting wet. This attitude to save a little traffic.
2. After the rains and during inclement conditions, the police patrol and traffic sergeants seems to be mysteriously missing. This also compounds to the issue outline in (1).
3. In important junctions like Velachery and particularly between stretches like MRTS to Vijayanagar terminus there are clear lanes earmarked eventhough the road is small. There are traffic lights too to stop and regulate the traffic. I even see a few cops manning the junction. Nevertheless the traffic condition is crazy here. This might be because of the undue patronage extended by the traffic cops to the autos who 'grease their palms illegally' almost on a daily basis. This occurs even when closed circuit cameras have been instituted in this important junction. I have personally reported this in CCTP website but there hasn't been any improvement whatsoever.

   We even doubt the attitude of CCTP staff is shoo-shooing away MTC drivers but showing a 'kind-hearted' gesture to autos because of these 'patronage' from them in that they (CCTP) is trying to cultivate some sort of animosity in the minds of commuters towards public transporation so that a good chunk of them would favor of autos and private transportation and during that occasion they can rise more chargesheets on them for offences of different kinds thus augmenting their revenue through books and also that comes in illegally into the cops' pockets.

1. Boaz School (near Gowrivakkam, Tambaram) [CBSE]
2. Sri Ganesan Matriculation Higher Secondary School (Velachery Vijayanagar)

The latter also seems to be having its own website like http://www.sriganesan.ac.in/ as indicated in their board but I could not visit the website. I just thought I would share these with other readers so that if you are looking out for some good schools in this area, you can get to one here.

• Undue burden on the water table in the area
• Free flow of air is hampered by too much of high-rise buildings in a small stretch.

Would CMDA  plan something out for the long run like for twenty thirty years instead of just for five years when the current government is going to rule in an avaricious attempt to make fast bucks?

1. Too much of pile in pockets and when you take it home the junk increases more.
2. When a checking inspector comes in a particular journey, we would having real tough times in locating the particular ticket to show him and this intimidates him besides making us feel embarassed before other co-passengers because due to our folly, the entire bus journey time is getting wasted or unduly delayed.

I recall in my previous organization, my friend (Srinivas Sunkaraneni) always used to advise us to dispose off the bus tickets instantly since otherwise disposing in a different place creates a totally different littering problem too.

Too much of change of tickets and waste of such papers is also an environmental concern. Metropolitan Transport Corporation has brought out something like 'Day Pass', 'Weekly Pass' and 'Monthly Pass' for such frequent travels. This brings a significant savings on our personal exchequer besides demonstrating a bit of our concern for our Mother Nature too.

1. Alight at Asarkana rather than Guindy.
2. Cross the road through the pedestrian zebra crossing available/subway
3. Board the bus towards Saidapet/Parrys to alight near Guindy Indian Bank (Industrial Estate Branch)
