A subway full of water.This is the subway opposite Pothys(can you see the building?) .Lovely isn’t it.My area is an island.Thankfully my street is better off than most places.Except the 14 hour power cut,there have been no other problems,oh of course i forgot the mosquitoes who tried to sing a lullaby.I didn’t have the heart to kill such talent,so i bore it all night long.

Above are Auto drivers of Chennai,huddled up,discussing the situtation.The subway is after all one of the cities most used.”T-nagar traffic jam aa”,is one of the most popular statements in Chennai.

Swimming anyone?The dirtest water you shall find anywhere on earth,baring the koovam and Adyar,both of ’em by the way have breached their banks i heard.

And so a few people who were too bored by the power cut(and the autodrivers of the near by stands) decided to play some cricket to entertain themselves.You can a mini river falling into the lake.

Yup who told you,cricket needed a big ground to play?So what if the English team has run away after a 5-0?We will send these local players.They are capable of adapting to any condition anywhere.Now that is adaptability!

Take care buddy!
[…] of cyclone Nisha… there is absolutely no mention about this. A fellow blogger Vishesh has this post to depict what is happening here. I do not even expect visuals but the news scrolls below can at […]
Didn’t know that chennai could flood this badly. But I guess its nothing as compared to Mumbai!
I was teasing my friend who left to Chennai today… Swimming in drainage water 😛 Its drizzles n rains here due to cyclone effect
Thank God monsoons are 7 to 8 months away in Delhi. Nice pictures.
ya could call that mosquito mozart– only, this mozart would not just be a ‘kathula rethum vara vakura case’ , it’d be a ‘full bodya retham varu vakura case’!
n wowww,, that subway is filled to the brim..
thankfully, nungambakkam isn’t facing power cuts..
(keeping fingers crossed)
wonderful capture vishesh! thanks for getting us these 🙂
Adyar River is in full flow and somewhere its overflown into residents. The only good thing left for us is we have power supply almost!! its a never seen chennai in the couple of years to rain, hope everything get to normal soon.

I have been hearing this on Twitter. Continuous and heavy rains in Chennai. We need proper drains that will send these water into the ground water table. It is good to see a blogger posting something other than Mumbai terror. That is a lot of water!
Hey, didn’t they pump out the water from the subway? Some subways were useable because the water was pumped out.
