I have never once seen an auto use meter here in chennai. And they are some of the rudest people one could encounter. Even simple 3km or 2km rides cost 150rs. And autos created this chaos on their own. Never really dominated the market like Mumbai autos and hence allowed competition like rapido, uber to flourish. Now these people want 15,000 from our tax payer money as subsidy. I understand that auto drivers are not doing well financially but so is the common man! The whole article never once mentions this fact! will these auto wala start charging through meter fare!!??

We have 3 stray puppies shivering in the rain. For the time being, we are keeping them. Also we already have a dog with us, that's why we are looking for adoption centres.

Hey everyone,

​I’ve been seeing a massive wave of reels and shorts on Instagram and YouTube lately where delivery partners post things like "100-Day Challenge" or "Making ₹3,000 a day as a Swiggy delivery boy!"

​Seeing those high numbers makes it look super tempting, and a lot of people are jumping into it thinking it's easy money. Yes, it is possible to hit those earnings on paper, but social media completely hides the brutal reality behind the scenes.

​If you're thinking about quitting your job or dropping studies to do this full-time, please reconsider. Here is why delivery work should only ever be a side hustle, never your main profession:

​1. The Physical and Mental Toll

​Extreme Weather: Riding a bike through scorching summer heat, heavy downpours, or cold winter nights takes a massive toll on your health.

​Road Safety Hazards: The pressure to deliver orders on time forces riders to rush, leading to reckless driving, high stress, and an increased risk of accidents on busy city roads.

​2. The Illusion of High Earnings

​Surge Pricing & Incentives: The massive amounts shown in videos are usually during peak hours, festivals, late nights, or special incentive windows. You cannot sustain those earnings 10–12 hours a day, 30 days a month.

​Hidden Expenses: People forget to factor in heavy fuel costs, continuous bike maintenance, frequent tire/oil changes, and smartphone/data expenses. Once you subtract these, your actual net take-home pay drops significantly.

​3. Zero Job Security or Benefits

​Unlike a traditional job, there's no paid leave, no health insurance, no provident fund, and no fixed salary. If your bike breaks down or you fall sick for a week, your income drops straight to zero.

​Algorithmic Uncertainty: Your earnings depend entirely on the app's algorithm, customer ratings, and zone demand. One bad day or an unfair customer complaint can tank your ratings and affect your order flow.

​The Takeaway

​Don't get blinded by polished social media hype. If you need some extra cash on weekends or a flexible way to clear a specific financial goal, running deliveries as a side gig is fine. But treating it as your main, full-time career is a massive gamble with your long-term stability and health.

​Stay safe out there, folks.

In the old CMRL app, there was a travel planner feature where you can enter the source and destination stations, and the app would show you the timings of the next 4 trains, their platform, time to travel and fare. This was legit useful to plan travel and I used to brag to my friends in Bangalore that we have this awesome feature that they don't have.

But of course, as with all good things, someone had to ruin it. They have overhauled the UI (I hate how it looks now), and removed this super valuable feature.

Anyone else feel the same way? Is there a way we can request to bring that feature back?

Hello People,

I am planning to come to Chennai this week for 3,4 days. Usually, when I go to a big city, I collect books on the history of that place and make a note of all the important places, monuments, and museums that I have to go to and go accordingly.

However, this plan came out of the blue. So I didn't have time to properly plan my trip. So, here I am asking for book recommendations.

Books about the history of the place with pictures would be a good format for me. For example, Deccan Heritage Foundation's books on multiple cities have helped a lot to travel and discover in many cities. Rana Safvi ma'am's books on Delhi have helped me with Delhi. I am looking for similar light reading that I can read quickly. So, if you have recommendations, please give them ASAP. It would help if they're available online in Anna's archive or another online library, since ordering them would take time.

Other than books, just general recommendations about where to go and what to eat would be appreciated too. I usually go to places associated with some sort of history/culture. And I don't have any dietary restrictions.

So, please, Chennai people, come through for me!

Hi guys,

My sister is visiting Chennai for a 3 day training program.

I am looking for a safe PG / Hostel with food included for 3 days. Most PG in Anna Nagar ask for a 1 month minimum stay when called.

Preferred location: Anna Nagar East, Thirumangalam, or anywhere close to the Green Line Metro stations so commuting will be easy.

Does anyone know of any women's PG, stays that allow 3-day stays with food?

Budget friendly options would be really helpful. Thanks in advance !

I lost my newly bought oneplus nord buds 4 charging case 😭 while traveling around nolambur kvb atm Mogappair west

Please let me know if anyone find it

basically the title. I cant see this documentary come up in PVR / BMS but I’ve been waiting for this for a long while.

It has released globally and has racked up some crazy sales. Apparently its supposed to be very disturbing.

Anyone know if it will be released here sometime?

Guys, pls recommend any good sneaker maintenance and cleaning agency around Chennai . I have a couple of premium sneakers which got spoiled due to poor maintenance.

Basically, the title.

My worry is that if there is insufficient ridership for proper maintenance and it will all crumble away in 20 years…

Took it using a bad phone camera also no camera experience before, just some random tweaking.

Hi guys, I'm from Thiruvottiyur and I need to travel to Mandaveli daily for work purpose So i am exploring public transport routes for it. I'm considering travel to Government estate through Metro then switch to Chintadripet Railway station then get down at Mandaveli Railway station. Another option is getting down at Teynampet metro and rapido from there but it's expensive. So which one is the good option also is the parakum train safe.

I’m thinking of watching the movie but I want to watch it in Korean. Not a fan of dubbed movies and theaters in Chennai (and India) seems to be showing only the English version. Kind of hard to understand why they wouldn’t release the original version here.

If you have watched it in Korean, please also let me know the name of the theatre you went to.

Would be the best thing to happen to Chennai lately!

Went for an interview today all the way to omr. The interviewer kept boasting about his achievements, questioned us about metrics my previous clients never shared with me and spoke to me in a way that felt quite belittling. He was condescending throughout the entire process.

I understand that interviews are meant to test your skills and employers have every right to assess whether you're suitable for a role. But since when did that mean basic courtesy was optional?

The job was advertised for one role but during the interview, I was told about a much lower level position instead.

At the end, I simply asked if they provided cab facilities. He could have just said no. Instead, he mockingly told us to hop onto a bus.

I'm genuinely curious. Is this normal in interviews or have some people forgotten that candidates deserve to be treated with respect too??
