Best night-drive routes in Indian cities
I have long been a fan of leisurely city night-drives ever since I learnt how to drive. After the Covid-19 pandemic, these drives have become my go-to relaxation and entertainment activity, especially on Saturday nights. In the absence of parties, movies, dining etc. a leisurely city night-drive with loved ones can be blissful. Especially when there are interesting sights on the route and sparse traffic. The tough-part is finding those perfect routes.
I have had the pleasure of experiencing these drives in a few cities and wanted to share my routes as well get your suggestions. Here are my perfect night-drive routes with what to look out for:

It is 6.30 a.m., and a small group of police personnel has assembled behind Anna Arch, off Poonamallee High Road. It is not the routine roll call that sets the day in motion. These police personnel are going through stress-busting physiotherapy exercises under the watchful eye of a trained professional.
Dr. S Kannagalakshmi, a physiotherapist with a clinic at NSK Nagar in Choolaimedu has been offering these free classes to them since May 10 when lockdown restrictions came into force.

The Chennai city police have come up with a new helpline number which will answer all the queries regarding the lockdown. City roads which were rumbling with vehicles in the morning fell silent after 12 noon. Very few vehicles hit the roads and police attributed it to essential workers and people in need of medical assistance. Most of the flyovers and bridges were closed and police had set up over 200 checkpoints in the city.

‘DMK will change name after May 2’ DMK president M.K. Stalin and MDMK general secretary Vaiko on Tuesday urged the State government to restore the name of Dravidar Kazhagam founder Periyar E.V. Ramasamy to the Poonamallee High Road.
The two leaders also criticised the Highways Department in this regard.
“When the interim-government of Tamil Nadu is left with a few days, where did the order for removal of Periyar’s name come from? Has the AIADMK government surrendered itself fully to the BJP government even to remove a name given by its party founder MGR?” Mr. Stalin asked in a statement.
