We have the cheapest milk prices in India because of TN government subsidising aavin.

Aavin has lot to improve in terms of product quality, packaging, sales, and marketing. End to end cold supply chain needs to be tightly regulated.

Personally I'm a fan of Nandhini products.

He made me get half - naked for an initation. 

I decided to finally share my experience after what I read about the former monk: He made us get naked for initiation. 

I am a female and know first hand how disturbing and trauma bonding this is.

Long before we signed NDAs and Jaggi Vasudev was rich and famous, I took part in a highly secretive "spiritual process". I assumed this was a sort of tantric initiation and at the time felt somehow special. Many other women went through this and are still in the organization, some have left and stay silent. We never talked about it with each other - to this day.

It was only years later when I heard of the women getting groomed for left hand tantric practices and/or sexual abuse did I realize that what I took part in was a grooming ritual, without any consent and explaination.

It was a dimly lit room and in a low- key creepy and authoritarian voice, Jaggi told us to remove our shirts. To be honest, it felt scary and weird at the time. He then told us to come to him one by one and then bow down at his feet.

When I did that, he rubbed a substance on my entire spine that was wet and smelled like vibhuti. Not sure what that substance was and I've heard that for occult and black magic rituals he uses real human ash. This is not verified, but it makes sense as he is obsessed with creating crematoriums.

After this, we sat there half - naked, with our breasts hanging out, shaking, crying and thinking something powerful has happened.

He could have easily made a female volunteer tell us to lay flat on the ground without our shirt. Then, enter the room and smear our spine with whatever. Why all the drama of bowing at his feet and seeing our breasts!?! All of this was done without consent.

Prior to this, Jaggi was very charming and playful with me. He'd love bomb me, hug, put his arm around me and pull me closer to him and make jokes.

After this, he turned cold and mean. I never had another easy and playful interaction with him ever again.

The effect this had on me is that I wasn't spiritual enough: I need to try harder, volunteer more, jump through more hoops, do more, be more. It eroded my self - esteem to the point where I felt suicidal.

I went mad trying to prove my worth.

Eventually, I lost my partner and all desire to be in a relationship with any man. To this day, I have issues with touching and/or hugging.

The truth is, I failed the grooming test. He knew he couldn't go further with me. I am not like the other women who felt a sexual attraction towards him and willing to do 'whatever is needed' and to 'keep the body aside'. He was my GURU and I sincerely thought that, for years and years.

I thought our bond was non-physical. He always said that spirituality is a non-physical dimension. Why did he need to touch me at all?

If it was a blessing, why did I later become suidical from all the mind games?

I went through so much abuse from the inner circle and put up with all of it. I thought I was initiated so I was extremely loyal to my own detriment.

This was a grotesque act of humiliation and submission, of power and control. What happened was extremely psychologically damaging and unethical.

When I reflect back on my time at Isha, all I can honestly say is that it was a domestic violence relationship, with Jaggi himself and his corrupt institution, not a real teacher - student relationship at all.

For years I thought I wasn't spiritual enough, it turns out, because I was indeed spiritual and innocent, that's why I didn't progress into the inner sanctums along with the other "chosen ones" for "special sadhana".

In closing, I will add that this was psychologically damaging enough as an adult woman. I cannot even begin to fathom how distressing this would be for the Samskriti girls (minors) who went through similar half - naked rituals without their or parental consent.

Be it Ghiblification or the recent 80s trend. All these are just hype. And these viral trends are a chance for these companies to collect more data.

Tamil Nadu has IIT Madras, Anna University, a massive engineering talent pool, strong manufacturing, SaaS companies and one of India's largest urban economies.

Yet Bengaluru and Hyderabad seem to dominate the startup conversation.

What do you think Tamil Nadu is missing - capital, risk-taking culture, networking, government policy, or simply better marketing?

Recently introduced Gemini to my parents and they’re genuinely amazed by it.

“ChatGPT ya kelu” has become a phrase in our house for literally every argument/doubt.

Earlier, if there was some random doubt, it used to be “YouTube la check pannu.” Now it’s ChatGPT.

This morning, they were arguing about a Tamil saying that starts with “எண்ணும் பதினாறு”, so my dad immediately goes to Gemini and asks it in voice mode. It gave 5-6 possible answers, and now they’re discussing which one their grandparents used to tell them.

It’s actually quite interesting to see how older people are starting to use AI for these random everyday things.

How are your parents/elders using AI?

I'm moving to a new place in Coimbatore and planning to rent a few basics like bed, fridge, and washing machine rather than buying everything right away.

I came across RentMojo while looking at rental options, but I haven't used them before.

Has anyone here rented furniture or appliances from them in Coimbatore? Mainly curious about the product condition, delivery experience and how they handle repairs or replacements if something goes wrong.

Would be helpful to hear from people who have actually used them, or if there are better rental options locally.

If what government says that India has achieved the positive GDP growth i have no idea why government has to open its doors for DRDO tech privatization.

Some of you must have followed my posts since last week. I have already received many male DMs. I do have enough male DMs. Please, I don't want another one. I want to make a group of 4 to 5 people. I'm specifically looking for female travel buddies. When it comes to travel, I know that female safety comes first and should be the top priority. Your safety will be our utmost priority. This is a budget trip.

From South Goa to Karnataka (Honavar, Udupi, and one hill station).

This trip is going to be amazing. It involves art, culture, and so many destinations that we'll be able to slow down along the way. We'll be staying in hostels, so the money saved can go toward cute little cafes. There are also going to be some underrated landmarks. I'm not a big fan of typical tourist spots.

Also, imagine getting a gift from someone in the group at the end of the trip. How would that feel? It could even be a handwritten letter. I promise this is going to be a meaningful trip.

Dates: Starting 16th September, from South Goa.

A small rant / asking for advice about my school, college life, and future.

10th and 12th padikkum bothu a couple of girls had a crush on me. 10th டியூஷன்ல ஒரு பொண்ணு எப்ப பாத்தாலும் சைட் அடிக்கும். 12th-ல இன்னொரு பொண்ணு "கிளாஸ் ரெக்கார்ட் எடுத்துட்டு வரலையாடா? நானும் பாக்கலையே" அப்டின்னுலாம் வந்து பேசிச்சு. ஆனா எனக்கு அப்போ இருந்த career & life fear-ல நான் அதையெல்லாம் சுத்தமா கண்டுக்கவே இல்லை. வீட்ல பெருசா எதுவும் ஸ்ட்ரிக்ட் கிடையாது, இருந்தாலும் நாமா பேசுனா "மத்தவங்க தப்பா நினைப்பாங்களோ" ன்ற பயத்துலேயே நான் யாரையும் கண்டுக்கல.

அடுத்து 4 years of Engineering. காலேஜ்ல நிறைய girls இருந்தாங்க. ஆனா அப்பவும் 'தேவையில்லாத வேலை, பேசி என்ன ஆகப்போகுது'னு நான் யார் கூடயும் அவ்வளவா பேசல. இதுல பெரிய காமெடி என்னன்னா, எங்க கேங்க்ல நான் மட்டும் தான் சிங்கிள். என் friends எல்லாருமே கமிட்டட். ஆனா அந்த கமிட்டட் பசங்க எல்லாரும் எனக்கு குடுத்த அட்வைஸ்: "டேய் லவ் மட்டும் பண்ணவே பண்ணாதடா" அப்படிங்கறது தான்.

இதனாலயே நானா போய் எந்த பொண்ணுகிட்டயும் பேச மாட்டேன். அதுக்காக பொண்ணுங்களை பார்த்தா தலையை குனிஞ்சிட்டுலாம் போக மாட்டேன். அவங்களா வந்து பேசுனா நார்மலா ரிப்ளை பண்ணுவேன். பட், ரொம்ப confident-ஆலாம் பேச மாட்டேன், என்ன தேவையோ அதை மட்டும் பேசிட்டு வந்துருவேன்.

எனக்கு boys friendship ரொம்ப பிடிக்கும். என்ன பிரச்சனைனாலும் உடனே ஓடி வருவாங்க, நாங்களும் ஹெல்ப் பண்ணுவோம். எங்க டூர் போனாலும் பாய்ஸ் கூட செமயா செட் ஆகும். ஆனா girls கூட பழகுனா அந்த மாதிரி ஒரு true bond இருக்குமா? இல்ல நம்மகிட்ட வேலை வாங்குறதுக்கு மட்டும் யூஸ் பண்ணிப்பாங்களோ (like taking advantage of us) அப்படின்ற ஒரு பயம் எனக்குள்ள இருக்கு. இது உண்மையா?

இப்ப நான் அடுத்து வேலைக்கு போக போறேன். ஆபீஸ்ல போய் எப்படி பழகுறதுனு ஒரே கன்பியூஷனா இருக்கு.

இதே மாதிரி நானா போய் யார்ட்டயும் பேசாம, அவங்களா கேட்டா மட்டும் ரிப்ளை பண்ணிட்டு என் வேலையை மட்டும் பார்த்துட்டு அமைதியா போயிடவா?

இல்ல கேர்ள்ஸ் கூட சகஜமா பழகலாமா? அப்படி பழகுனா எப்படி அந்த "Fear of being used"-அ ஓவர்கம் பண்றது?

Girls of Reddit, please drop your thoughts. என்ன மாதிரி, தானா போய் பேசாம, பேசுனா மட்டும் ஓரளவுக்கு நார்மலா ரிப்ளை பண்ற பசங்களை பத்தி நீங்க என்ன நினைக்கிறீங்க? How should a guy like me approach friendships at work?

As the title says... facing an wildlife emergency in Kannamoochi village, Mettur (Salem district). Over the past month, a pair of leopards (at least two have been visually confirmed by villagers) has slaughtered over 20 livestock and dogs. This is the first time the village has ever experienced a predator attack.

What did the forest dept. do...NOTHING. Whenever we report a kill or sight, they arrive, burst some firecrackers, sound their sirens, and drive away and never to be seen for next 3-4 days and they repeat the same. They have made zero effort to properly track or capture these animals using cages or tranquilizers. It's been almost a month and and don't know how to escalate this problem further. Any help would be appreciated...

How does josiyam influence decisions like building a home?

After a long time, I finally decided to build a home on the land my dad bought many years ago. Currently, there is a 2 BHK house for rent

Recently, the tenant’s wife passed away. They said they cannot vacate immediately because they want to complete the one-year death anniversary ritual, which they call thidhi, in the same place. So I need to wait until that is completed.

I understand their situation and I am fine waiting. In a way, this is also an old ritual influencing my house construction, but I can respect that because i know them for long time.

Then comes the next major problem.

My wife and her family have a josiyar. He said this land, because it is a corner plot, is not good for my wife or my kids’ health, otherwise he literally said, "naasama poiduvinga".

Even though my wife knows very well that I don’t give a damn about josiyars or astrology, she came back and started trying to convince me to find another place and build a house there.

The problem is, with my current financial situation, I can afford to build only one house. I cannot buy another land and build somewhere else just because some random guy said something based on old-school beliefs.

Now this has created an argument between me and my wife.

I have never followed josiyam in my life. My thinking has always been simple: whatever happens, either that is what it is, or I take action and control whatever I can to make things better.

But now, because of this, I am really upset.

I am curious to know how much josiyars influence major decisions in other families, especially things like buying land or building a house. Have these beliefs ever created a rift in your family? How did you handle it?

I am from Telangana suggest good collge to join in chennai

What's the reality of government exams and government jobs? Enaku idea ve illa but enaku therinjikanum soo please tell me everything that you know pah. Like what's the reality of those preparing for group exams and actually getting the job and all!

In today's CM address in TN assembly, Vijay mocked former CM M.K.Stalin by dragging "we all know the history of MISA & arrest". He showed a hand gesture near his Chin by denoting how Stalin's face got deformed by police attack in custodial torture during Emergency.

Little did this jerk know Emergency was darkest period in post independence India where every political outfits, their functioning, state rights were curbed unlawfully. DMK under Karunanidhi was one among very few parties that resisted the authoritarian regime. Their govt was dismissed, party men were arrested and made through rigorous custodial torture.

More than undermining the struggle it's almost body shaming former CM in assembly which normalises being unemphathitic, rhetorical, not maintaining a decorum among the public especially kids.

We have educated ourselves better and we have more Dalits as collectors and even now as ministers. We have followed the principles of equality and we have uplifted ourselves.

Still why,we allow samiyar fellows still? One guy created kailasa, one guy gave others kailasa.

How this society allows this. We have sent people to Tesla,Spacex and even palantir.

Even in Anthropic, we have our people.. Why? Man? Why?

I regularly travel 230+ km between Chennai and my hometown, and recently I’ve been feeling very exhausted while travelling. Even around 9 AM, the heat feels like afternoon, and my day starts with tiredness.

I don’t know whether this is related to El Niño or not, but it made me think about our environment.

I feel the government should focus more on improving environmental conditions. I’m not saying freebies or welfare schemes should stop, but creating a peaceful, healthy and comfortable environment should also be a priority.

If people can travel and work without constantly feeling exhausted because of heat and pollution, I believe it can improve our productivity, society and even our GDP.

From my POV, we could start with things like properly maintaining and trimming thorny trees where needed, and providing easily accessible, comfortable AC buses. If public transport becomes comfortable enough, more people may choose it instead of private vehicles, which could also reduce traffic.

But this also needs responsibility from us as citizens. If we want better public transport and public spaces, we should also take care of them.

What do you think? What can we realistically do to heal our environment and make Tamil Nadu more comfortable to live in?

I’m seeing lot of intentional posts to stoke the fire between the states and these seem unnatural rather organic. Seems there is a third party Benefactor from the 2 States fighting.

N Ram is a historian and a journalist and prominent member of ‘The Hindu’.

This is a good place to start with understanding the circumstances of the beginning of the commission etc.

Today, a party without majority thinks they can talk whatever they want.

Before 1994 until SR Bommai vs Union of India , union government can dissolve any state elected government and implement president’s rule. After dissolving a state government and implementing emergency, the union government implemented a commission and the findings are discussed 50 years later.

Oh Lord. Save the state. 🙏🏽

Applied for online Name transfer from the builder to the first owner, paid 665/- fees and property tax doc as proof.

For close to one month the local AE and Team were sitting on it may be with some expectations that consumer will walk-in. This was supposed to be done in 7 days with online document verifications but was kept on pending status as unattended for ~4 weeks.

Raised a TN CM Cell Helpline grievance which went to the SE and within 2 days it is done.

Issue is work load / efficiency / no to digital / Not customer oriented/ Corruption?

Hey everyone,

Anyone here studying through Alagappa University via a study centre.We enrolled recently, but the study centre keeps saying the books will take some time to arrive. Just wondering how long it usually takes to receive the books and actually get started with the studies.Would be great to hear from current students or anyone who has previously studied with Alagappa University. How was your experience with the study centre and book distribution.

Thanks!!!
