I’ll be around T. Nagar for less than a day and want to explore some good fountain pens. Looking for recommendations for authentic/niche makers, local or famous local and Indian shops, interesting stationery, inks, etc.

My budget is around ₹1,500. What specific pen/variant or stationery item would you recommend picking up?

Are there any old-school shops, hidden gems, or specialised stationery/fountain pen stores near T. Nagar that are worth visiting? Please mention the shop + specific item if possible. Looking for something genuinely interesting rather than generic recommendations!

I’ll be around T. Nagar, Chennai for less than a day and want to pick up some good coffee. Looking for recommendations for South Indian filter coffee, speciality coffee/beans, and good pre-ground coffee.

Also, is there any particular local shop, blend, or preparation (filter/decoction/drip) I absolutely shouldn’t miss?
I’d also be interested in picking up a good coffee maker/brewer or basic coffee equipment if there’s something particularly good in terms of quality and price around Chennai.

Please mention the shop/location + specific variety/equipment if possible. Looking for something genuinely good rather than generic café recommendations!
