Was on my way home from Arupadai Murugan Temple when I noticed this on the auto in front of me: “BE KIND TO ANIMALS.” 🥹❤️

Honestly, it made me weirdly happy to see something like this in the middle of Chennai traffic. We usually notice the colourful stickers, funny quotes, political posters, movie references and all the random things written behind autos — but sometimes there are little messages like this too.

Now I’m curious — have you guys ever spotted any interesting, wholesome, funny, weird or completely unexpected posters/messages behind an auto in Chennai? 😂

If you have pictures, drop them here! Would love to see what other little messages Chennai autos are carrying around.

Is anyone facing shortage of Aavin Butter in your locality? In my locality every shop I visit just keep telling me it hasn't come yet. Any suggestions where else can we buy?

Hi everyone,

I already have some knowledge of Java, Spring Boot, Golang, and DevOps. I’m mainly looking for an IT academy that can help me get placed in a good IT company.

I’m not looking for training from the basics. My main priority is placement assistance, interview opportunities, and connections with companies that are actually hiring.

If you have personally used an academy’s placement program, please share your experience and recommend the best ones, especially in Chennai.

Thanks!

This is Semmozhi Salai, Perumbakkam - the road connecting the Medavakkam/Perumbakkam side towards Sholinganallur and ELCOT.

Just look at the roadside. Garbage dumped everywhere (even the partial 100meters of the road which falls under GCC).

Thousands of people use this stretch every day. ELCOT is right there, with HCL, Wipro, Cognizant, Tech Mahindra and other IT companies nearby. There are huge apartment communities all around Perumbakkam too.

What I don't understand is how an area this urbanised is apparently still under Panchayat administration and sitting just outside Chennai Corporation limits.

This doesn't feel like some remote village road. It's one of the main approaches to Chennai's IT corridor.

And because it's near the boundary, I genuinely don't even know whom residents are supposed to hold accountable. Chennai Corporation? Perumbakkam Panchayat? Chengalpattu district administration? Highways?

Forget beautification. Can we at least have regular garbage collection and stop the roadside from becoming a dumping ground?

I'm planning to raise this with the concerned authorities and tag CMO/Rural Development as well.

If anyone here knows exactly which authority is responsible for garbage clearance on Semmozhi Salai near Perumbakkam, please share.

Also curious to hear from people living around Perumbakkam - is garbage collection this bad inside the residential areas too, or is this mainly happening along the main road?

​

Saw this at the MMDA signal near Arumbakkam Metro Station. Why is this kind of inhumane manual work still being done when machines could be used instead?

Can’t we move towards safer and more humane methods of doing this?

Criticising India and TN for all of the shortcomings is required to improve. But let's not kid ourselves into thinking that everywhere else is utopia.

Edit. It has been pointed out that the lady didn't follow the minimum stay requirements of her Green Card. But is being detained like an illegal the solution? Pre-Trump America didn't behave this way.

Her detention came after a Judge had already dismissed a deportation case against her.

She couldn't follow the terms of her Green Card, as she came to care for ailing parents here, and then got COVID.

Wtf!!!! Does it literally mean kozhipee?? Why does someone adapt this as their adamozhi(no offense to any religion)

Thambiiiiii keeela erangu paa 😭

I'm friends with this cat in my pg, bro comes to eat food and sleep then he'll leave

He loves sitting on my lap too

Thambi ku gf vera avalaiyum kootitu varuvaru

He's sooo cute thoo 😭 😭 😭 😭

Went to Henry’s with a few colleagues recently, and honestly, I never expected to find a place like this in Chennai.
We tried their burgers, Nashville chicken and fries, and everything was really good. The chicken was crispy and juicy, and the fries were great too. They also told us that they use fresh ingredients and don’t use frozen items, which I thought was pretty nice.
Just to clarify, I’m not related to the owner or affiliated with the place in any way. We simply went there as colleagues, enjoyed the food, and I felt like sharing because it was genuinely a pleasant surprise.
If you’re into burgers, Nashville chicken and fries, might be worth giving Henry’s a try. 🍔🔥

Guys sorry for the confusion, it’s located in Perungudi. Link below

Personally I think this money should be invested in RRTS or high speed rail

At this point I’m literally begging! Somebody, ANYBODY, make the clouds go away! I got a new-ish, kinda expensive telescope that can show amazing stuff in the night sky, but since buying it around end-April I’ve had about 2-3 nights of clear sky so far in Chennai. Any metro city is already the worst possible place for stargazing because of the horrendous light pollution, and then these fucking monsoon clouds all the time! Went almost broke buying the scope that’s since been gathering dust for the past 3 months!

Rant over.

P. S. Some of you might have come across a few pictures of the moon I took with my scope a few days ago, but here they are again anyway. Along with my scope. Because the moon’s kinda the only thing I’ve been able to see so far. Except on those 2-3 nights of miraculously clear sky (by Chennai standards). The last picture is of what’s called the Butterfly Cluster (famous cluster of stars in our Milky Way galaxy), taken from my Koyambedu apt. balcony with a handheld iPhone looking through the scope on one of those clear nights. Even with Chennai’s light pollution, you can still make out the shape resembling 2 wings spreading out of the butterfly’s body. That (and much more) is what the scope is capable of, if only the fucking clouds went away.

Rant really over.

Almost every youngster has one but there are some who refuse to use it and blast reels and shorts on full volume cause they can't "hear" it 🤡
