I recently came across an article in Wikipedia about Dappan Kuthu. It was so good, I couldn’t resist sharing it.
if you were wondering what the term Dappan Kuthu meant, don’t worry, the article will “educate” you 
( For those without any patience it’s a form of dance practiced in Tamil Nadu, India )
Whatever mood you are in, I’m sure you would be having a hearty laugh at the end of reading the article.
Here it comes for your reading pleasure. Article on Dappan Kuthu from Wikipedia
Do read the last line 
No. This is not about flying on the East Coast Road (ECR). Some people do believe driving in ECR should be in top speed, where you don’t feel the grip of the road. ECR is the worst road for doing that anyway.
ECR, especially the stretch near Puducherry, and after Mahabs, has a beautiful view at night. The greenish yellow reflectors on the sides, and in the center reflect your headlight making the road look like how a Runway would look like, when a plane is landing.
Next time you get a chance, observe it. If you move at a speed between 50 to 70 kmph, the effect looks really good.
BTW, On the contrary, had some thoughts on driving at night on ECR
- To the extent possible driving through ECR at night should be avoided. With a narrow two lane road and too many curves, you may not be able to see the road when a vehicle comes on the opposite side, and doesn’t switch to a low beam.
- If you plan to go to (or beyond) Cuddalore via ECR, it might be wise to choose Thindivanam route. ECR has too many dangerous curves, and you can’t control how other people drive, even if you drive safe.
- Tambaram to Thindivanam route’s 4 lane also provides another advantage. It’s quite fuel friendly. As you don’t need to use breaks much and have a high visibility on the road, it improves overall fuel utilisation.
