The number of shops without Tamil on their name boards is increasing.

According to the Tamil Nadu Shops and Establishments Act and the Tamil Nadu Catering Establishments Act, shop name boards must display Tamil as the primary language, followed by English or any other language. The rules also require a font size ratio of 5:3:2 for Tamil, English, and a third language (if used), with Tamil displayed most prominently in the government-prescribed reform script.

In reality, these rules are rarely followed. Many shops have name boards only in English, while others display Tamil in a tiny font tucked away in a corner. Even this Upavihar name board is entirely in English, and "Thindi" is a Kannada word rather than Tamil.

No one is even talking about this. What are the authorities doing without checking these violations? In Bangalore, there were massive protests just because English was displayed in a slightly larger font than Kannada.

College girl attacked by Transgender in Trichy Bus.

Some transgender individuals are crossing the line by harassing people, attacking them, or even flashing them when they don't get money. Incidents like these are unacceptable. What's equally concerning is that victims often don't receive much help from the public or the police when such situations occur. Similar thing happened to me and I still can't get out from that trauma.

Two days ah intha vishayam en mandaila odite Iruku 😒.....

​

Guy's, 2 days ku munnadi family oda oru function ku poirundhen. Return Cab book pannum bothu oru 8pm irukum Rapido la oru 20-25 mins try pannirpen cab eh kedaikala seri nu simultaneous ah uber la try pannitu irundhen after like 15mins uber la cab kedachiduchi. Cab la eri ukkarumbothu Rapido la irundhu notification vanthuchi like cab on the way nu. I immediately cancelled it. After cancelling Andha driver again and again call pannite iruntharu. Seri nu call attend panni "Sorry bro romba neram try pannen rapido la ride kedaikala uber la kedachiduchi nu sonnen" he didn't even listened what im saying and just started abusing like O***, The***Ma**, Ungo***Ok** and started saying Ella app layum potu book pannuvingala da wait panna matingala da Pu*** Ma***. I was pretty chill as my family was in the car and I just said bro 2 minutes munnadi thana ride accept panninga. Location reach aagitu cancel panna kooda neenga enna thittalam for that he said U-turn potutenda Pu*** Ma***, Thay***. I started recording the call immediately and raised safety issue in the rapido app. They immediately called me and I said everything what happened and they assured they will take strict action and cut the call. In chat they updated that they counselled the driver and closed the case. I again raised this issue and this time a tamil agent connected and I again explained her everything as she knows tamil. She understood how bad the words he used on me and she immediately suspended his ID. Idhula en thappu ethana Iruka. Ellarum multiple apps la try pannuvinga thana ride kedaikala na. Enna than suspend pannitom nu sonnalum he will definitely have uber or ola account and use that. Is there any way I can move it legally?

TL;DR: Tried booking a Rapido cab for nearly 20 minutes but couldn't get one, so I booked an Uber instead. Just as I got into the Uber, a Rapido driver accepted the ride, so I cancelled immediately. The driver then repeatedly called and verbally abused me with extremely vulgar language without even listening to my explanation. I reported it as a safety issue. Rapido initially said they had only counselled the driver and closed the case, but after escalating it again to a Tamil-speaking support agent who understood the severity of the abuse, she suspended the driver's account.

NGO Workers Mistaken for Child Kidnappers, Assaulted by Mob in Odisha.

A young man and woman working for an NGO were allegedly attacked by a mob after being wrongly suspected of being child kidnappers in Rayagada district.

The duo, originally from Surat and Delhi, were travelling to the Thuamul Rampur area in Kalahandi district for NGO-related work.

However, after reportedly taking a wrong route while following Google Maps, they reached the Kalyansingpur area of Rayagada at around 8 PM.

As they were speaking in Hindi, some local residents became suspicious and allegedly spread rumours that they were child kidnappers. Without verifying their identity or informing the police, a group of people reportedly assaulted both of them. The woman's clothes were also torn during the attack.

Update! Regarding the G-Shock purchased in Myntra Sale. Fake vs Real.

So, I have earlier posted about the Gshock I purchased in Myntra Early Access sale which had damaged box and missing manual and Warranty card. I took it to the nearby Casio store and confirmed it's authentic also the product registration is approved from Casio. So it's authentic but it may be returned stock which sold in huge discount. I was one of the lucky ones who atleast got authentic product. One person who ordered the same watch received a fake. I'm attaching the pics comparing the Fake and Real. So, the fake one in the image is a replica with original strap. The person who returned it replaced the fake body with original strap.

Tips to find Authentic Casio.

  1. Casio's sold in india has unique serial number printed on the back case as well as the product box if both matches it's mostly real. I've never seen a fake with a serial number till now.

  2. If it's a bluetooth model it's even more easy to find the fake. As the fake one's never connect to the Casio app.

  3. Product Registration in Casio india website. If the registration is approved by Casio india it's original.

Still they can replace the machine of the real one and return it with a fake one. There are people who are doing this. We can't find that until the watch is opened. So, buy online with caution. Prefer official offline stores.
