The other day I had a brief drive
on ECR (east coast road) across Kovalam along with my cousins for nothing but
just time pass and lunch and I had some photo opportunity on roadside. That day
I didn’t take my camera with me so took few shots with the 3.MP galaxy player.
The Toll Plaza in ECR was the
first of its kind for us to experience a paid road when it was introduced in
2002; and the road extends till few km before to Pondicherry. The toll plaza
remains one of the pretty hold by itself on this fun filled scenic beach road
and is decorated by few artistic stones painted on birds, butterflies and
animals dividing the lanes with green mounds and decorative plants.
The ECR is a drive pleasure road
for anyone taking it around to reach the many entertainment spots alongside and
beyond the sculptural hub Mamallapuram and reaching French colony Pondicherry; it
really needs more post to look into detail. The road is a well laid and
moreover maintained properly with no bumps or jumps and taking the lane thought
night was once interesting watching the roadside barriers and road stud flashed
to reflectors on them.
Touching the ECR with few meters
from home, the road remains as one of the most frequently used and taking away
the prior when a thought of getaway exists and also the way out of city easily.
The road remains free of traffic once out of city limit and it also has its
share of disadvantage being exposed to accident-prone and rash driving to
endanger.
On way to Kovalam beach – the other
day, we come across a bunch of pups on the roadside and only the one above came
alone from the group waking along the road but it was too shy to give us pose
and turning back as we moved further. Kovalam beach is one of a beautiful seafront
shaped in curve and called as Fishermen Cove, the southern edge has a temple and
during Sunday this place is packed with people visiting the temple and shore
from far and near.

For me this is so nostalgic!
The best time of my life was spent on ECR...... one year of magical bliss that will remain everlasting!
ECR road is quite dangerous because it doesn't have the lane separator/divider. Vehicles will speed on this road unmindful of any consequences. I used to go to this road in my bike and I need to be very careful!
