Some PoliTea

So, here is some tea that I have heard from my political circle and some of you might already be aware but still.

1.It is heavily rumoured that Minister Rajeev who is the Environment Minister has earned over 40-50 crs in these 3 months alone. His Periappa is a well known road contractor and both of them are involving themselves in rampant corruption.

2.Mr Tamilan Parthiban, the Transport Minister has started to charge 2 lakh per vehicle permit. So if a Travels company is launching a new Bus,they have to pay 2 lakh as commision. He has reduced it from 3 (Charged by previous DMK government) to 2 lakhs though.

3.Minister Vijay Balaji has also earned lots of amount by collaborating with Veerapandi MLA Mr.Panivel.

4.Last Wednesday MK Stalin,the DMK Chief blasted the MLAs as he feels all of them are going soft in the assembly. He was especially harsh on Mr.Vasantham Karthikeyan asking him why the heck would he say he got the seat because of Aadhav Arjuna. He was also harsh on senior Ex ministers.

5.There are strong rumours Mr. Senthil Balaji will join ADMK or BJP. Some sources also tell that this is a false rumour spread by TVK to create further instability to him. But it is true that he is not being his usual self and has gone silent.

  1. Senior Ministers from ADMK like Kadambur Raju who joined TVK are totally unhappy it seems and they are advising their ADMK friends not to jump ship now. They feel they are not being given due importance by TVK either locally or by the high command.

7.Dhanush and Annamalai had a meeting last week it seems in his Poes garden house. What was discussed though is not known.

8.Finally the last one but the best Tea. TVK are apparently threatening business owners to reveal the amount they paid for DMK as bribe during the previous regime publically. That is why we are seeing some businessmen giving open statements to the press declaring that DMK Charged them money.

In a recent meeting,one Minister asked the companies who all paid money to DMK government and he said they will blacklist them all who paid. If they want their blacklist to be removed, they need to reveal publically it seems. This has irked companies a lot who feel that TVK is using them for its political gain. Some industry insiders have already started to mutter paying bribe is far better.

This 812 crores for marriage will bite TVK in the back

​

Any beneficiary scheme especially cash/monetary transfer has to be done across demographics (I am talking electorally not morally or ethically). KCR learnt it the hard way through Dalit Bandhu Scheme (10 lakhs per SC family but only for 100 families per constituency). Even DMK suffered in this Magalir Urimai scheme where despite providing to 1.3 cr beneficiaries the 30-40 lakhs who were left out were pretty angry and probably was one of the reason for DMK's defeat.

Now let's do the Math.

Tamilnadu electorate is 5.7 cr. According to data 18-30 age is 22% which is approx 1.2cr. Now assume 50% are women it is 60 lakhs. Now eliminate 18-21 aged women and do approx (I know women get married between 18-21 in our state still which is shameful but let's assume they are lesser in number). Now we are left with 40 lakhs approx. Now out of this 22-30 let's assume 4-5 lakhs get married per year.

Now let's come to the funding 800cr. 8 gms of gold + saree let's assume a gm gold is 13000 let's assume they do some tender and get it for cheap, if they get too cheap also people won't like it let's assume 10k per gm, for ease of calculation let's assume saree + gold is 80k per woman, now this will eventually pay 1 lakh women which is 20 -25% of the women who get married per year.

Now this remaining 3-4 lakh per year who don't receive let's assume 50% don't care at all or belongs to affluent families. Now that leaves with 1.5 lakh women being disappointed accumulated over 5 years that gives 7.5 lakhs.

Now women are a vote bank I feel is best untouched for TVK, they voted for TVK vehemently especially this age group and this I feel has potential for backlash.

And TVK will learn about important lesson, you can never satisfy everyone which DMK learnt it the hard way.

PS : I know women get married after 30 as well and as already pointed out inbetween 18-21 as well. Again with median avg age for marriage being 22 in TN between 22-24 will be higher. Considering all this no of women getting married will only be larger than my estimate which means more women getting disappointed.

Even if u assume they keep income cap, again atleast 1 lakh women will be displeased every year

Caste of the elected MLAs

Yesterday I saw a post where the OP had asked for the communities of the elected MLAs. Here is the list of caste of MLAs for whom I know. Since TVK came in new and their candidates were unknown I was sure of only this list. Someone more aware about the TVK candidates can contribute. And in several reserved constituencies as well I was unsure of the exact caste, I could have assumed it based on region but wanted my list to be accurate as possible so didn't do.People pls add on this list so all of us can be aware.

Transport Department has started, slowly others will follow

So, one of my friends works at a famous Bus aggregator (Like Intrcity) and he is the Regional Manager there. So during DMK government, whenever a new Bus has to be registered, for the permit the bus owner has to pay 3 Lakh to the minister and some 30k to the officials as bribe.

When TVK came in, they had initially scrapped the 3 lakhs and only 30k was paid to the officials. But recently since the past 2-3 weeks, The operators have to pay the current Transport Minister (Tamizhan Parthiban) 2 lakhs as permit per bus.

Ofc 2 is less than 3 and some might argue corruption has reduced, but remember they came in with a promise of eradicating corruption and I am pretty sure Mr. Tamizhan Parthiban will raise this to 3 lakhs pretty soon.

PS: Last weekend, I went to buy beers and they charged extra 20 rs per beer in Kelambakkam Elite. Even during DMK rule, I don't remember paying extra for a beer. We bought 6 and paid 120 rs extra in total.

My gf is planning to setup an Airbnb in Khopoli. Can you guys please let me know about the place and how do Maharashtrians view Khopoli?

​

So I am from Chennai and my gf is from Mumbai. We are relatively new in our relationship (5 months). We both are planning to marry next year and things are going well.

Recently both myself and my gf decided to partner with her friend who is running an Airbnb in Karjat and is planning to setup one in Khopoli. Initial investment including advance is 80k around and monthly expense is 15k and since we are partnering cost will be half only. Financially it makes sense, but I need more information on Khopoli to feel confident. The place has lot of waterfalls and also has companies hence we can get both set of customers. But can someone tell me more about Khopoli, whether it will work for us and do people visit frequently

Had a shocking experience here, pls never visit this bar and if u can please complain to the authorities

Long post, please bear with me.

So was chilling with friends yesterday when we decided we will go to a bar. We are not from Koyambedu and we did not have first hand knowledge of the bar quality. First we went to Zing rooftop in JP Hotel. The vibe was good,everything was good, but since the rate was slightly above we had 1 cocktail each, some 2-3 starters and decided to hop on to this bar which was just 250m away and had 25% discount in Dineout.

We were group of 4 people (3 men and a woman), another reason was we had come to zing only at 9:40 and the manager said they will close at 11. We wanted to party further and this Teddy beer was supposed to close at 12, this was another reason.

So we we went here at 11PM, there was a big ass sticker saying no new entries after 11 and door was closed. I asked the watchman there he said something like Athellam pona aatchila open nightla ippolaam closed or something like that which again I didn't understand. But somehow one older looking woman called someone from inside and went in. We also went. The bouncer did not allow first but with us insisting he was like go in but no discount. We went.

Once we went there,there were no seats and we stood near the counter. Everything was super overpriced. 1 British empire for 600 like that we literally paid double of their original rate that too without discount. When we started drinking, our lady friend who had come with us started scolding us, after which I realized

That it was a super shady bar which had hired women to dance with men who are the customers. They all danced in an indecent way and what was worse there was a cubicle with transparent doors we can literally see a guy getting lap dance, moving his hands all over the woman's body,etc. Since it is in Koyambedu, these women speak some rate with customers and take them to rooms nearby and I guess pay some commision back to the hotel. This was literally prostitution and I was shocked.

Then we went to the smoking room and there were people fully making out and there was a man asking a lady what is her rate openly like that. For me personally atleast I was overwhelmed as I have never visited such places.

This shitty bar is in Zomato and Swiggy who should first remove such kind of places. Second, if you guys remember there was an incident in a bar in Koyambedu nearby where one Srilankan origin girl was killed in road rage just 1 month back. This bar is just 500-600m away from that bar. Alcohol itself will heighten the emotions what when alcohol and lust gets mixed. See, I am not saying that the women should be punished. They are there for their daily bread. But this owner should be punished and this bar needs to be sealed. All of this happening at such a busy place literally scares me.

Biggest Problem that needs to be spoken more

Everyone is talking about the CM talking unprofessionally, TVK raising flagosts, etc. But think about this. TVK had 107 MLAs and they need 11 more for majority. They have so many choices among DMK and ADMK MLAs who are good whom they can poach. Look at today's event. Who is this MR Vijayabaskar? He is slightly lesser corrupt version of Senthil Balaji.If Senthilbalaji spent 250 crores for Karur this time, Vijayabaskar spent 120 crores. Who is C Vijayabaskar? He was the epitome of corruption when EPS allowed his ministers to run havoc.

You can judge a political party by the actions it takes when it is under pressure. This is where TVK has failed so far, they have been opportunistic and will fail eventually due to this. Have DMK and ADMK never been opportunistic so far? They have been.

But crores of people believe you are the maatram and you act as if you are the anti dote to corruption. How will your party be anticorrupt of you recruit people like this?

This tells me clearly Vijay and TVK are opportunistic and will do anything to retain their power. So how will they bring change?

If you are not the change,then why should people vote for an incompetent inexperienced government over a government which delivered results?

This might look like me giving verdict on TVK pretty early. But this early into ur reign of they are okay with recruiting people like this, eventually they will get power get into their heads and start corruption. Let's wait and watch.

Ps: All this shout about being a non corrupt party, people of Karur go and check how much commision Mr.Mathiyalagan (TVK's district secretary) is getting from people involved in illegal sand mining.

Couple should either live alone or with the woman's parents. Do you agree?

We see posts here and in all marriage related subs everyday how living with inlaws creates problems in marriage and it is usually women who bear the brunt. From a man's perspective i feel in today's day and age living with wife's parents is a great way to go.

1.You get support in chores and also in raising kids. Any conflict in that will be mostly between the mother and the daughter so no need for dilemma which happens when one has to face his own mother.

2.Being a son in law since this is a patriarchal society, no one is going to expect the man to take bulk of the chores. One has to help out here and there but definitely not more than in one's house.

3.Wife will have a strong moral support and will not feel isolated and cornered. Importantly, you are not shifting her from her home which will lead to less issues.

4.The key thing here is Son in law won't be expected to adjust as much as the daughter in law, which is a big thing.

5.This setup will be a problem mostly if the son in law is a free loader or belongs to much lower status than his inlaws. Otherwise I feel it is perfect.

I feel a man should not care what others tell him and just go for this setup. I am not even telling this from some big ideological standpoint. It works practically and mainly avoids conflict. The wife will also not have that nagging feeling that she had to adjust. It's a win win.

Parents can be managed from distance and tbh it is not like men feed and take care of their elderly parents excellently. Maximum men buy medicines, take them to hospitals,etc which can be done from a decent distance.

I agree that many Indian men lack personality, but are Indian women better?

This is not a rage bait post so please answer.So there is this saying right, that without AM Indian Men won't get married cause they lack looks, personality, EQ, etc. I agree that majority of the men including me (Myself in looks) lack atleast one of these factors.

So, I have talked to around 6-7 women during AM process and honestly it doesn't seem like women are any better. Many lack knowledge about variety of things, some are too cocky, majority lack depth in their conversations, etc. All of these women are financially independent as well.

Women might look and groom better but that's about it. They are forced to take up the caring job (It is not like they are better about it. Being forced is wrong I agree) but it is not like majority of the women have emotional intelligence.

In today's day and age with doom scrolling, validation seeking attitude etc I feel both men and women are the same. So I just don't get the quote. Men marry just for the looks which Is why it seems women are better but women are more picky (Rightly so) that's why it seems like that

Mumbai and owning home

So I was talking to my prospect whom I met through Shaadi.com the other day and she was like every other Mumbaikar even from the current generation will focus on buying home atleast as an investment. In Chennai atleast buying house has gone out of fashion atleast for people who have grown in their own homes and we never see buying an apartment as an investment. Buying land yes, but apartment no.

Then I worked out the math, I currently staying with my parents and in Chennai I can rent a 3 BHK (Above 1200 sqft) in a decent area for 35k. But to buy a new house of the same size, I have to shell out above 1.5 cr which is extremely difficult for someone who is below or in early 30s. Even if I make 50l downpayment (Half of my savings), I would still need to pay 1-1.2l EMI. So it is 1lakh vs 35k.

Now my prospect grew up in a 400sq ft row house as she calls it. She brought a 450sqft home in Dombivali recently for 55 lakhs. She made some downpayment and her Emi is 30-35k. Now if she wants to rent a 450 sq ft house in a better area i guess it will cost her 40-45kni guess. So difference is only 10k unlike my case. And somehow having lived in Chennai I cannot fathom spending lakhs and living in a 400-450 sqft home. I have lived in a 900sqft house all my life and I want to move to a bigger space only after marriage.

Another interesting thing is she said Dombivali is far and she won't stay there most probably. I asked her, why did you buy then? She said what to do with the money simply lying around. I then asked you could have brought some land, to which she laughed and was like there is no land in Mumbai. She says her plan is to rent a decent property in Mulund and rent her home out.

How is Airoli?

So, I am speaking to a girl through Shaadi.com and we both like each other. I even visited Mumbai last week and enjoyed my time there. For context, i am from Chennai, she is born and brought up in Airoli but is a Tamilian. She speaks highly of Airoli and says how her multicultural upbringing has benefitted her. She is thick friends with her neighbours and lowkey wants me to settle here as well.

I am not open to it, but I really like her and looks like we will have a long distance marriage atleast for 2-3 years, so I have to visit Airoli often. So how is the area and is it really multicultural? So last weekend I did pass through the area but to me it looked like any other areas, but she seems too attached. Can I know the reason?

Women and Mumbai. Am i right?

So, i (30M) have started speaking to someone in Mumbai via Shaadi. Com and to meet her i had come to. Mumbai this weekend. We visited Juhu beach, Marine drive, Vashi etc and one thing which has surprised me the most is whichever restaurant or place i go, i am able to see an equivalent amount of women in large numbers.

Like lots of girl gangs, elder women gangs etc. I have visited all other metros and have been to all major cities in India, but even compared to Kolkata i am seeing more women. And it is not only in posh places. She took me to some Chowpatty area where there were small shops and there as well, i can see women in large numbers even at late night. It is refreshing to see and since there are women around always, i felt more comfortable going out with her late night than i do in my own city. This is an appreciation post, yes, but i also want Mumbaikars opinion on this.

Please help me out by sharing your opinions.

So Me (31 M) has been talking to 30F via Shaadi.com since the past 3 months. We come from economically similar backgrounds, both earn well, etc. The major issue is the location. So I am a Tamil from Chennai, whereas she is a Tamil born and brought up in Mumbai.

When we initially talked she said she is looking for grooms from Mumbai only, so I left. Later she came back, started chatting and things are going well till now. Due to work, I couldn't go and visit her till now and I am planning to visit her in May. Our plan is to take things slow (Probably 6-7 more months) before planning for marriage.

Now, the major problem is I cannot leave Chennai (Due to nature of my work), her office HQ is in Bangalore but she is adamant about not leaving Mumbai so much that she is paying amount from her own salary for a co-working space where she goes and works everyday instead of shifting to Bangalore.

I can stay in Bangalore and adjust but Mumbai will be too far . So as of now we have decided i will come and stay with her for a week in Mumbai per month she will do the same with me in Chennai for a week the next month,etc. This is some big plan we have. For me the plan is okay, because the fact that I am unmarried till now is fear of commitment, and this feels like a good solution. She is a divorcee and she is also comfortable with this because she feels she adjusted way too much in the last marriage and she doesn't want to do same mistake here. Her reason for not leaving Mumbai is her entire support system is there. For me I cannot leave South India is cause of my business.

My major fear is I am used to such travel,living in multiplaxes so this won't feel like a sacrifice to me. But she is used to living her entire life in Navi Mumbai. School,college,work,etc. She recently even had a huge fight with her HR who asked her to move to a co working space which is 20 km from her home. So my fear is what if she sees this as a sacrifice? Since I won't view it as a sacrifice,will this create resentment? I asked her but she said you are overthinking. So has anyone worked out such an arrangement before? Did it workout? Please share your opinions. Nu

She is a divorcee and she is also comfortable with this because she feels she adjusted way too much in the last marriage and she doesn't want to do same mistake here. Her reason for not leaving Mumbai is her entire support system is there. For me I cannot leave South India is cause of my business.

My major fear is I am used to such travel,living in multiple places so this won't feel like a sacrifice to me. But she is used to living her entire life in Navi Mumbai. School,college,work,etc. She recently even had a huge fight with her HR who asked her to move to a co working space which is 20 km from her home. So my fear is what if she sees this as a sacrifice? Since I won't view it as a sacrifice,will this create resentment? I asked her but she said you are overthinking. So has anyone worked out such an arrangement before? Did it workout? Please share your opinions.

Ps: Planning to go DINK so that is not an issue

So Me (31 M) has been talking to 30F via Shaadi.com since the past 3 months. We come from economically similar backgrounds, both earn well, etc. The major issue is the location. So I am a Tamil from Chennai, whereas she is a Tamil born and brought up in Mumbai.

When we initially talked she said she is looking for grooms from Mumbai only, so I left. Later she came back, started chatting and things are going well till now. Due to work, I couldn't go and visit her till now and I am planning to visit her in May. Our plan is to take things slow (Probably 6-7 more months) before planning for marriage.

Now, the major problem is I cannot leave Chennai (Due to nature of my work), her office HQ is in Bangalore but she is adamant about not leaving Mumbai so much that she is paying amount from her own salary for a co-working space where she goes and works everyday instead of shifting to Bangalore.

I can stay in Bangalore and adjust but Mumbai will be too far . So as of now we have decided i will come and stay with her for a week in Mumbai per month she will do the same with me in Chennai for a week the next month,etc. This is some big plan we have. For me the plan is okay, because the fact that I am unmarried till now is fear of commitment, and this feels like a good solution.

My major fear is I am used to such travel,living in multiplaxes so this won't feel like a sacrifice to me. But she is used to living her entire life in Navi Mumbai.
