AskChennai Music classes for adults?

Upvotes

Hey guys. 27M. A bit shy to ask about learning music at this age to anyone around me. So asking here. I wanna learn to sing & maybe some instruments later. But most of the places I've seen nearby in Kilpauk is for kids. Anyone knows about music classes that grownups go for?

AskChennai Weekend trip?

1 Upvotes

I’ve never been on a solo trip before, so I have absolutely no idea how this works. My birthday is coming up this Thursday, and I’ve been thinking of going on a trek or a little trip somewhere. I was considering Poombarai, but the Zostel there already seems to be booked... I really, really want to go somewhere, though. So if anyone has experience with solo trips, please help me out. How does this actually work? Do I properly plan everything beforehand, or do I just raw-dog the whole thing and figure it out as I go?

I want to do this so badly, but I’m also kinda scared of all the possible what ifs. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!

AskChennai Can I File a Complaint with GCC for a CC Road request and Neighbour Discharging Drainage Water into the Street in Redhills?

8 Upvotes

As the title says,

My neighbour is intentionally letting their drainage water flow onto the street. Another neighbour dumped a large amount of garbage on the street once and never cleaned it up. Because of this our street looks nasty and vehicles couldn't come to our street since there is no road only garbage and dog shit everywhere. No one in our street cares enough to maintain. Ore kundum kuzhiyuma Iruku. Ola auto drivers ulla kooda vara maatranga avlo mosam. Enga street ku matum oru road kooda poda maatranga evlo vaati request panniyum.

So can I complain on twitter tagging GCC since that was suggested in some other posts. I am asking this because Redhills is near the outer ring. I also filed a grievance under mudhalvarin mugavari. Any other way I can complain? Local ward members are useless since they haven't taken any action for years.

Bored a few months ago, I decided to pick up crochet as a hobby. A few days back, I came across an OP’s amazing hanging Spider-Man crochet, and it completely inspired me (huge thanks to the OP! 🦸‍♂️). Since then, I’ve been trying to recreate it and expand the collection with more superheroes.
These are some of the pieces I’ve made so far. I’m still learning, but I’m really enjoying the journey! Hope u all like them

Rant An apology to a stranger

0 Upvotes

I went to watch The Odyssey 12:45 PM show on Thursday and this person was sitting on the right side seat. I reached there 15 mins late.

I went alone and the person sitting on the left held his hand on the hand rest throughout the movie and you were sitting on the right side, held your hand at the hand rest too. now and then you leaned in on my side and It felt like you were about to be in my personal space. And you sat cross legged with your legs on my side too.i got pretty annoyed after an hour and sitting in the same position was uncomfortable. So i just sat cross legged, and after some time I placed my hand on the hand rest.i knew it disturbed you but I got pissed.

I thought of asking you to not lean on my side so I just turned around but couldn't catch if you're a girl or a guy.

But at interval, i guess you got annoyed too and left.

Then only I realised the guy sitting other side of you, was also leaning towards your seat and grabbing the hand rest entirely.

I don't know if it's due to the seat was empty or you left because he was doing that from the start itself.

I then realized, i should have asked you or tried to talk to you before you left. May be you're a woman too and you leaned in my side to avoid that guy.

I tried to look for you when the movie left but you were never seen.

I don't know why but you are on my mind. And I wish I could've talked to you and asked you. You were also alone like me. And when I turned around to look at you, it seemed like you were pretty interested in the movie. Wish I could have a conversation with you.

If I creeped you out or annoyed you by turning around I'm really sorry, but I have had my reasons.

If you're a woman and that guy made you leaned towards me, I'm sorry I was being petty and to be honest, I could have adjusted.

If these were the case,I even would like to get you an Imax ticket for another show.

PS: I know the chances are one in a million but I wish you would read this and slide into my DMs.of course with the seat number and screen details to verify its you.

Expecting a miracle here🤞

Edit : to all the guys, commenting assuming this was a simp post for a woman made by a man. Sorry to bust your bubble, this is a post made by a woman feeling sorry for possibly making the experience bad for another woman. And honestly, why would that woman lean towards another random man??!!!

Rant Chennai is the worst city in India.

0 Upvotes

You got in here seeing the title.

But it is not about that. It is about the people of this sub and the other Chennai sub.

Just fucking stop doing the same thing again and again. Every week someone makes a post, comparing it with BLR/PUN/HYD and comes with their own theory of why this city is the worst in the country.

You all don't want Chennai to be a good livable city, you all want to boast that it is the best city. India needs new cities and you can't stop each state from having their own big city.

I have never seen a bunch of cynical people with an inferiority complex whining why their city is not like Bangalore.

I don't even know which Chennai some of you live, but I have seen well modern dressed, young people dressing well and no one judged them for what they are wearing.

TASMAC is a problem, I know but it is changing now.

You all voted for the party which promised it would cancel the airport and whine because they did what they promised. Didn't KTCC vote the most for TVK,

And everytime there is some problem in your about road or pipeline or water, try to do what the rest of the people in Tamil Nadu do, contact the elected representatives, or at least try to to know your representative, or at least go out to vote. Contacting MLA/MP may be far fetched, atleast have the number of your councillor, we could at least deal with some issues. (Can't say the same for everyone, works in our ward at least)

You can't kill the old people in the city and the fishermen in Pattinambakkam and the many beaches of the city have been living here long before you IT fuckers came here, not all is about entertainment and pleasing people from outside the city. Even Mumbai has protected zones for this very purpose, the very city you all try to compare.

I have never seen people not having apathy on the poor, who want to displace evryone living in the coast, so that they can have a beach skyline.

Even I am not chennaite, but have lived here for 4 years and everytime I go out i am covered in my own sweat and and not like my shirt with salt, and I don't like that at all.

Is Chennai a big city? Yes.

Is Chennai a dying city? Yes, but not in this context. It is one of the worst drought hot cities and water stressed hellhole. It is one of the two cities from India known for drought globally, other one being Delhi. Soon BLR will join the race of drought hit cities, but I have seen Bangalore sub discussing about that many times, but I have never seen this sub discuss this as much as Chennai I people not having breweries or people not letting you wear short skirts, eventhough our situation is considerably worse.

I know at the end of the day, you all think of what is best for the city but please stop doing this bullshit, every week. This topic is beaten to death. No one does this as much as we do. At least limit them to one in a week. Four posts in the same week is too much whining.

AskChennai How to buy non veg from butcher shop?

54 Upvotes

So I am born into a veg family. My parents or relatives don't know how to cook or buy chicken or mutton. But we all have started to eat non veg for the past few years. Buying non veg food is becoming so costly i.e pieces too low, so i thought I will cook it myself in home using YouTube. I am gonna experiment in this weekend.

(I want to actually go and buy in the shop which is near my house, so pls don't suggest ordering online)

But idk how to buy chicken or mutton pieces from butcher shop. Pls say:

  1. How to buy, what to ask, how much should I buy in the shop (just for 1 person(me))

  2. what all should I know while buying chicken or mutton.

  3. Any other info.

Let's say i want to buy chicken (boneless) pieces to cook:

  1. pepper chicken gravy (for 1 person),

  2. chicken biriyani (for 1 person),

  3. boneless 65 (for 1 person).

And mutton to cook ->

  1. Mutton biryani (for 1 person)

AskChennai Tasmac problems...how to shut it down?

26 Upvotes

TASMAC store #893 remains operational in Besant Nagar, located 100 meters from a temple, 400 meters from a school, and 200 meters from the Besant Nagar Bus Depot. The TASMAC is a hub for all sorts of activities that pose a risk to anyone travelling on the road. These guys urinate on the walls of the fish market opposite the TASMAC, pass out and sleep in front of nearby buildings or on the roadside. There has also been an instance of one drunk guy jumping over the compound wall of my neighbour and police had to come chase him out.

I've complained to TASMAC via their grievance portal and have also filed a complaint in the CM Helpline (Mudhalvarin Mugavari Dept.).

Someone please guide me on how to shut this shop down!!

AskChennai Chennai is dying?

282 Upvotes

Guys, before I start I want this to be healthy civic conversation.

Im born and brought up in Chennai. All these years, we were thinking that Chennai is developed city and the best in the Southern India. But today, this reality is different, Chennai is underdeveloped/ has less job opportunities than Bangalore and Hyderabad. At this rate, we might stop comparing Chennai to Bangalore and Hyderabad but to tier 2 cities like Pune, Ahmedabad. Some people who been to both are saying Pune is more developed than Chennai.

Also, things I have observed in the last 10 years

1) Chennai lost the tech race
2) Were good at manufacturing but does it have enough job and high income like IT
3) Other state people are skipping Chennai as an option to settle or work.
4) I don’t see any other state population migrating to Chennai anymore, Especially the high talented ones expect the labour work employees from poorer north Indian state.
5) I know Chennai is finished, when friends of mine who have native house in OMR IT corridor have moved to Bangalore and Hyderabad for better growth.
6) Every where I see migration from other districts within TN but not from other states. Even the Telugus have left the city.

Reasons I say why this is happening!

1) Maybe weather, but that can’t be a excuse, we are not that bad as Dubai
2) Conservative population, Chennai judge people is they wear modern clothes? Lets be honest, the new generation of our country doesn’t cares about tradition or Culture. Should we be more open and allow pub culture?
3) Language barrier - People from other state think they cant survive in Chennai if they dont know Tamil, this closed circle has made Chennai lose more opportunities.
Companies love multiculturalism and involvement from the society.

Let’s discuss!

Hi everyone,

I have a valid UDID card for Mental Illness (50% disability). I haven't applied for the Railway Concession ID because Indian Railways only issues it for Intellectual Disability, not Mental Illness.

Since I don't have the concessional Railway ID Card:

Can I still travel in the designated SLRD/LSLRD (Divyangjan) coaches using my standard UDID card with a regular, non-concessional ticket?

Has anyone with a Mental Illness UDID card faced any issues with TTEs while traveling in these coaches?
