Is dating in Salem actually difficult, or are we just bad at it? 😂

For the Salem crowd — what's your experience with dating here?

Dating apps, college, work, mutual friends, random encounters… where do people actually meet?

Keep it respectful. 👀

People who moved from Salem to Chennai — was it actually worth it?

Better career? Better social life? More expensive? More stressful?

What did you gain—and what do you miss about Salem?

New fav spot unlocked! 🥐💛

Found this little gem in fairlands; Boolajerry cafe. It’s a small french inspired bakery cafe run by a husband and wife duo, and honestly it feels quite different from the usual cafes in Salem✨

They mostly open after 5:30 PM, and they make their stuff fresh, so don’t expect your order to come out in 2 mins 😭 Each dish takes around 10-15 mins, but I actually think that’s part of the charm because you can tell it’s freshly made.

They do mostly gourmet bakes, breads, pastries, savouries, sandwiches and desserts, and every day they have 2–3 specials that they make only for that day. So there’s always something different to look forward to.

I tried their focaccia chicken croissantwich, German pecan chocolate cake, hot chocolate and roasted nuts gelato — the freshness and taste really stood out and I'd give like 8–8.5/10 ✨

The price was pretty reasonable too, esp considering the freshness, quality and taste. The place is pretty small, but minimalistically aesthetic and cozy and the SMELL when they make prepare food is🤌🏾<3

Honestly I'm reallyy happy to see smth like this in Salem. I love finding places like where people are genuinely putting effort into making things fresh rather than just having another generic cafe menu.

Must try guys! 💯❤️

Most affordable city?

Nanbargaley, Salem has been known for its affordability.

https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/ease-of-living-index-bengaluru-best-city-pune-ahmedabad-indore-1775525-2021-03-04

Salem had been ranked in india top 10 and ranked as number 1 in TN for ease of living makes it one of the most desirable places for people who wish to lead a simple life.

I also personally feel Salem is one of the most cost efficient places, be it food, clothing, basic services, transport (especially share auto service with 10-20 rupees mark).

Idha pathi enna nenakuringa? In what ways you have felt Salem as a better alternative to other places when it comes to affordability and ease of living?

What's your best thing about salem?

Nanbargaley, naama kandipa studies kaga vo, illa work or other reasons kaga vo, veliya thangi irundhirupom. Apdi irukapa, What are the things you missed about salem? And what are the things u saw or experienced in other places which made you think, Salem la idhu irundha nalla irukum nu.

Ennoda personal opinion enna na:

I miss Salem the most for its slow paced beautiful life. In Chennai, life will never be at rest, chasing things, getting things done, catching up with movies. Oru amaidhiye irukadhu. Traffic, rush, and crowds all frustrate me.
