Latest tourist attraction at Hitech City - the Lake

Did you see it? Did you swim in it? If it rains for another day, we'll have to swim through it to get to our offices in Mindspace. This part of the road gets flooded after every shower, so I wonder why the administration has not done anything about it.

When I saw the traffic jam in the morning just before taking the u-turn opposite Cyber Gateway (to come to Mindspace), I decided against taking this route and instead went back to Whitefields, drove to Gachibowli and used new link road to approach Mindspace. The traffic jam was massive. I took the other gate into Mindspace and even that road (to Durgam Cheruvu) was water logged. I entered into Mindspace, drove to the main gate and parked my car there to see if I could help ease the jam. This is what I saw (Pic sent in by my colleague, Mehul.

There was nothing I could do but watch! If it rains heavily again, see if you can avoid this road. Meanwhile, happy fishing!

Some photos sent in by a citizen - Kukatpally (JNTU)-Cyber Towers Route

These photos were sent in by Sundar Paul. This is the stretch of road from JNTU to Cyber Towers. This road was a one way for about 3-4 months and just recently the second lane was reopened.
Many thanks, Sundar!

Important: Need pictures and videos on Hyderabad Traffic

I am starting work on a short film/documentary on Hyderabad traffic; the intent is to bring in a change in the way EDUCATED people drive on the roads. Most of us don't realize that we break rules - using the cell phone while driving, drinking and driving, breaking one way rules, etc. If you're in the habit of clicking pictures or recording videos of traffic jams or rules being broken, then can you please email me such pictures?

If you do not already have such pics/videos, and if it's not too much trouble, then can you please carry your camera with you and click away whenever you see traffic jams, accidents, etc? Please spread the word around and ask your friends/colleagues to send in pics as well.

Like I said, the intent is to capture educated people breaking rules. Please let me know if you have some ideas for the documentary.

Pics of yesterday's traffic jam

Yesterday morning, the traffic jam was beyond the Birlasoft building as can be seen in the snap here. Hopefully, if our project is successful, then people turning left at CT, will not be bothered by this.






The Change Lanes Here board should be hung on the arch that is seen in this snap.






The left lane was blocked at CT. People wanting to turn left here had to wait until some moron ,who was in the wrong lane, was able to proceed straight on the green signal.





If you have snaps or videos of the traffic in CT, please send me an email at sikhoya [at] gmail [dot] com
