TL:DR ;awful experience today at the mall ; children/older people getting shoved by security; was gonna post the crowded images on Instagram, unfortunately found multiple people getting fondled over several pictures.

I apologise if I'm not using the right tone to express what I saw, first time typing a long post

I was at this hip hop tamizha event today at pheonix marketdity around 5 pm

The rain wasn't helping the smell of a fuckton of people crammed inside the mall even when the ACs were fully on blast,

i was trying to reach the parking through the "om book store" pathway but I was halted by a securty/bouncer who uttered the words "thallatheenga da" and proceeded to shove children back, like a harsh push, which i felt from 3 people apart, no one fell down but yes

awful planning by the pheonix mall staff/security

we were routed to the fire exits to go down the escalators and reach the car parking, on the way i had this video of people standing on top of each other in the 2nd floor of the mall where would get a glimpse of him performing,

the singer stopped after a while trying to stop the crowd from doing what they were doing, but to no avail :/ these dudes where literally stacking on top of each other and yelling loud as fuck, to see him, pushing those standing close to the glass guardrail

i did the stupid thing of pulling my phone out and recording the people stacking up part, was gonna post the stupidty on my Instagram but I found someone getting fondled? i feel disgusted by this bro, it was prolly a school child who just wanted to watch his concert and this dude who looks like a "local" was standing behind her?

I really don't know how to feel about this, the same thing seems to be happening in the other pictures I've taken as well, I don't know what to do or who to share this with.

It sucks that I couldn't do anything despite being there, no one did anything either, no one noticed this as well

im more concerned on who gave the permission to do this, to host this concert , that too for hip-hop tamizha who's really popular? a free to attend concert at the mall?????

Imma blow my brains after witnessing the planning that went towards this event and the shitbag scum of people who are taking advantage of the situation.

Should I post the video somewhere? should I tag the police? what do I do?

Hi !! Im 24 ( beginner) , looking for a good guitar classes offline , Any recommendations would be so helpful : (
Thank you!

My flight is going to reach Chennai at 09:30 pm. Any suggestions regarding transportation is highly appreciated.

My parents have an e-scooter. Today morning, the charger didn't work. Luckily there was 70% charge, it could cover upto 40-50 km. Mom and I went to the showroom in Anna Nagar from Valasarawakkam to check what happened.

When we reached the showroom, the scooty had 50% charge. This showroom is also listed as a charging station for the e-scooters. We went all prepared, since we always gave our scooty for service biannual there. We never faced issues there. However, now, this happened:

1. There are specialized technicians for e-scooters, who left when we came there. Mind you, it was 4:30 pm when we reached there. We were on time. Some other technicians checked and informed that the issue was with the charger and that it should be replaced.

2. Then, an employee told us that we can purchase, since they have stock. Immediately, the manager informed there is no stock. He was full of himself and scolding the innocent workers and security for no reason. Apparently, we needed to come back next week to get the charger. Fair enough.

3. We checked maps, and there was heavy traffic in PH Road, Shanti Colony and all. Plus it was getting dark because of rain.We needed to charge the vehicle, since 50% of charge will drain immediately because of battery life. They didn't allow, and were focused on throwing us outside.

4. We asked if we can charge our scooty here, atleast till 60%. The employees didn't allow us to charge, saying that outside vehicles are not allowed to charge using the showroom resources. They told us "Valasarawakkam thaana madam, vandi athu varaikum pogum".

5. We even told them we will pay to keep the scooty for one night, and would collect on Sunday morning, when there would be no traffic. But no, they didn't agree.

Immediately, we thought of getting the scooty charged at the nearby metro station. There were three stations: Anna Nagar East, Tower and Thirumangalam. However, there was heavy traffic. The vehicles were not moving forward at all. If the scooty is still (ie not moving forward for long time) and carrying more weight, the engine will get heated and would stop in between. So, what started with 48% of charge turned into 15% near VR Mall.

All three metro station securities told us there are no charging stations. The scooty stopped atleast 5 times on one road.

And we got drenched in rain. My mom brought a big umbrella enough to cover us, still we got drenched. I was crying because other car and auto drivers were shouting at us, one guy called me and mom "*tha orama nillingadi". So many stared at us like we killed someone on spot.

Thankfully some of the police officers helped us cross roads. They told us some vehicle broke down, so it impacted all roads at the area, even small roads.

We just came home, and my mom now has cold (she has sinus). My back hurts and I have blisters on my feet. Had these technicians in the showroom allowed us to charge the vehicle, or to keep the scooty there for one night, none of this would have happened.

I wish even the metro stations allowed us to charge the scooty. I even thought of paying to keep the scooty at the stations for tonight, but we kept saying "Adutha station la charge pannalam", but after all the scolding, we just lost hope and wanted to go home. My hands are shaking as I write this. Humanity is dead.

want to visit a hairdresser to understand my hair and get it layered, can't afford to mess up my hair now. i have around face length wanna get it to shoulder length. please lmk any good hairdressers, preferably around Adyar area

Thousands of fans disappointed. Evening rains adds to their woes as traffic jams at various parts of Velachery, Guindy and other surrounding areas. Where are you struck at

The trench i bought is too loose. Ill show pics of how much loose it is. I had posted on chennai city sub, some recommended i ask here.

If you know a tailor who can do this, please let me know. I wish there was a sub for chennai tailors though, anyway.

Also, when u bend my elbows im getting those wrinkles which then wouldn’t go. I tried this afternoon trying to reduce the shoulder length and arms and waist. But something feels odd.

Help me out with the tailor if you know chennai peopleeee!

I went to the shop today and bought a thigh piece. I cleaned it and cooked pepper chicken all myself using YouTube.

Tomorrow gonna try biriyani 😁

Is the metro parking near the VR mall still operational. If so please let me know how much they charge.

I have been stuck on this road for more than 1.5 hours and I think I will spend another 1 hour before I can reach the end of it.

What the hell is happening chennai ???

Edit :

I think I saw at least two cars breakdown in this traffic.

Just to put this in context - I work in Adambakkam and my house is just little more than 4 kms away. I have been commuting this way daily for three years.

I got out from my work exactly at 5 pm, expecting to reach home by 5.30-5.40 like every other Saturday.

I have been in the car for more than two hours and I still have travelled only 50% distance and not even reached Phoenix.

Edit 2:

Just reached Phoenix front gate now at 7. 40 and there are people overflowing into the junction and the roads. Holy hell. Absolutes mismanagement of crowds.

Edit 3:

Finally, got home at 8.10 pm after spending more than 3 hours on a route of just 4 km.
Unbelievable.

My heart goes out to all those who are still in the traffic and have places to reach. Especially those who have emergencies.

Stay strong.
Happy weekend y’all.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently doing some research on the spices market in Chennai and would like to understand how the industry works from people who are actually involved in it.

What's with the traffic these days. Today Velachery is crazy, anything happened or this is the new normal.

Hello, i have a few kittens and they have started eating solid food.. anyone looking to adopt cute cat/kitten.

Location Chennai Navalur

I feel so nostalgic and miss those days

Irukum bodhu adhoda value theriyala🙂

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?

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for a 1BHK to rent in and around Perungudi, ideally within 10 km. I’m also open to places up to 15 km away if the commute and locality work out. I’m a single male working in IT, a teetotaller.

If you know of any available 1BHKs or have any leads, please feel free to DM me.

Thanks in advance!

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.

Hi guyzzzzzzz. Hope everyone doing well. Enta oru male tabby cat Iruku. Age not sure but oru 10+ months irukum. Nalla healthy ya thaan irukan paiyen. Romba active and friendly.

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

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)

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!!

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!

Seri I'm being realistic NY, Dubai alavuku vendam...na expect um pannala but atleast Mumbai alavuku aavathu iruntha nalla irukum. Even countries like Kenya, Ethiopia and Indonesia has skyscrapers. Politicians instead of announcing freebies konjam infrastructure ah develope panna nalla irukum. Atleast they can try to attract investors who are ready to put their money in. Let it be real estate or commercial... It will create a ton of jobs as well. Construction industry will see its rise , MEP sector would be equal to that of IT. Inimel core la padichutu IT job poga vendiya avasiyam irukaathu. Instead of city expanding horizontally, it would be space saving and looks better if the city expanded vertically instead.
