I meant, not many know the full form of that road, nor do they call it by name. I remember I had a tough time locating Lattice Bridge road while all the time being on that road. The damn auto guy and his clan, as also people on the street were clueless where that was. Some enlightened soul said, "you are wrong, you are looking for LB Road". He was right.
 
lol... yeah, but ECR is pretty common. Most chennaites would know it. LB road (in its full form) is ofcourse a little unknown, and only some locals may know it.A similar incident happened years ago, when I was asking sort of - Where is "Lattice Road" (Not the actual name, of course), but no one had a clue, but a few finally pointed it to "Lattice Bridge" Road. I came to know the officials had removed the 2nd name because it was the name of a caste. But locals knew it as a 2-worded road as it was originally called & were confused when mentioned only the official single word.
 
I meant, you can't ask people for East Coast Road, everyone knows ECR, but very few might be able to tell you where the East Coast Road is.
 
Yeah.. agree to an extent. There are few roads which have been renamed as well, but people still know/use old names.
 
play got delayed (they always do). i would be interested in other locations easily accessible through flight. and can be visited for 2-3 days of relaxing time. i just thought about pondicherry expecting it to be sort of peaceful and not full of tourists. something like mcleodganj for example.

and thanks for all the details. at least now i have an idea of what pondicherry is all about :D i actually had no idea that it actually consists of multiple locations spread across the country :D Pondicherry consists of four small unconnected districts: Pondicherry, Karaikal and Yanam on the Bay of Bengal and Mahé on the Arabian Sea.
 
awkward. i mean they make it sound like it has the same administration. and yet they are spread across south india. does not make sense.
 
If you just want to relax, there are many exotic locations in India, but I can't think of any which has a direct flight connectivity. While on this, let me try to upsell my Club Mahindra vacations for a 50% discount on published rates :D

A lot of things don't make sense in this country, we just get along with it :D Pondicherry also happens to be the only UT with its own government
 
right. looks like they are similar to kashmir with their own thing as per the original agreement when they joined india. and yeah. few years ago i was considering a similar vacation in kerala around their famous beaches. turns out reaching them is a pain in the ass too. :| would still like to get some ideas. places that can be visited for a 2-3 day vacation. :D
 
Well are you going with your friends on a pleasure trip or for trekking into some hard to reach places? If you are planning for trekking , i can suggest you shit load of places all over the country.They are usually not found by road and they are totally out of this world :D
