Xp100 petrol

Hello I am having two vehicles

One is maruthi ritz car which is 2010 model

Another one royal enfield classic 2014 which both are not e20 complaint

Will it cause any troubles

I see huge mileage drop in my bike 25-26 km per litre

In car when went in highway I got 14 it's kind of okay for me for city ride I am getting around 8-9 per litre.

Is it worth driving to marmalai nagar to get xp100 petrol as they say it's only 0 ethanol blended petrol since I stay in Tambaram.

What's your opinion on this how is your mileage now for those who have older vechile.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to buy a **PS5** immediately and was wondering where I can get one right now. I’m based in **Chennai**, but online options are fine too if they offer fast delivery.

If you’ve recently bought one, where did you get it?

Thanks in advance!

How much is a fair salary for a maid in the Vandalur–Kilambakkam area?

We have an 800 sq. ft. 2BHK apartment with 2 adults and a newborn baby. Since the baby arrived, we’re planning to hire a maid for the first time.

Area : Vandalur - Kilambakkam area

The work required is:
Sweeping – daily
Mopping – daily
Washing vessels – daily
Sunday off

I’ve never hired domestic help before because I’ve always done all the cleaning myself, so I have no idea what’s considered normal in terms of salary, expectations.

What would be a fair monthly salary for this workload? Also, are there any important questions I should ask before hiring someone (experience, timings, holidays, demands etc.) or things I should discuss upfront to avoid misunderstandings later?

Gym rant

I joined a gym 4-5 months back. I do cardio like 2-3 days a week.

One of the cardio workout i do is i run for 20 mins. I always felt that for running I needed good songs that matches with my running tempo. I have shortlisted a few songs and made a playlist.

I tried with in ear, over the ear headphones, they always tend to fall when I run. Then I remembered that when joining gym the receptionist mentioned they have a very good sound system, youtube premium etc and we can play songs. So I started using the speakers and it was quite comfortable to run without any headset or earphone. I don't keep high volume.

I have seen people enjoy the music most of the times. Sometimes someone else plays their playlist and I enjoy their playlists too. This had been going smoothly.

Yest I was in the gym and two 50+ yrs old guys were there and only 3 of us were in the treadmill area. One guy enquired to the other guy if he was playing the song. That guy said no and they discussed loudly about the music taste and basic etiquette that no one should play music in loudspeaker in gym and only use headphones. I got offended as I was the only other guy who was in that area.

I neither turned off music nor had a word with them. I just completed my run and warm down with music on, which took another 20 mins.

if they didn't want music and if they had asked me to turn It off, I would have. But talking about etiquettes/ music taste was wrong.

What Happened to Marina Beach? Hundreds of Rats Everywhere

I visited Marina Beach yesterday after many years. While I was impressed by how much the infrastructure has improved, I was absolutely shocked by the rat infestation.

I saw hundreds of rats casually sitting outside their burrows along the pavement. The areas that were supposed to have grass had instead become a massive breeding ground for these huge rats. They didn’t even seem afraid of people, they were just out in the open everywhere.

It was honestly disgusting and completely ruined the experience. For such an iconic tourist attraction, this is a serious hygiene and public health concern. Has anyone else noticed how bad it’s gotten, or was this just an unusually bad day?

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.

Just got to know that they are shutting down S2 Theyagaraja

I've been watching movies there for the last 13 years. I had recently watched Karuppu there.

Feels like this came out of nowhere..

I have so many memories of going to S2.. I'm going to miss the place so much.

PS :I'm talking about the one in Thiruvanmiyur. I'm not sure about the status of the S2 in Perambur.

What's it really like living in Chennai?

I'm not from chennai or Tamil Nadu, so i've been a bit curious about the city, as Chennai is the only major city in india that I've not yet visited (though I'd love to sometime).

The pics like the one above make it look fairly modern and developed. But I've also heard that it gets pretty hot during the summers.

So I wanted to ask the people who actually live there, What's life actually like ?
