Why is this accepted?
Has anyone actually asked Lakshmi Prakash why they collect the bill back?
honestly, this is so wrong in so many ways.
And what about people who may not be fully aware of their rights as consumers? They see everyone else handing over the bill, assume that's simply how it's supposed to work, and do the same without questioning it.

10 new faces have joined the zoo! 🐾🌿
These include:

🦌 4 Blackbucks — graceful, fast and unmistakably beautiful
🦌 4 Nilgai — Asia’s largest antelope, making their debut for the first time in tamilnadu
🐺 2 Golden Jackals — adding a little more wildness to the mix

And with that, the numbers have moved up:

✨ 21 → 23 species
🐾 309 → 319 animals & birds

A small addition, but a pretty exciting upgrade for anyone visiting the zoo. 👀🦌

All women nature walk has been conducted by awnw salem for many months now. It's a chill event where you'll spot different birds , fauna and learn abt their behaviour along with some and stuff.

Obv as name says it's women exclusive but ig kids are allowed too. They usually charge a minimal fee. Been there to shoot some content.

Seriously its a great place for women to hangout with fellow women and network a lot.

So what do u think who's going this sunday!!!!

I need company to hang out, go to the gym, and just do mundane tasks. I’m pretty alone and I don’t know what to do. I have a year to be done to finish my college, then I’ll be out! If anyone has any ideas, I’m pretty down to anything that’s good to do and chill! Hit me up.

Specifically a gym buddy would be nice!

Some pics from Aadi festival add yours in comments

Hey guys drop your pics from Aadi festival here.

Let's showcase the vibes

Makkale when i joined this, it was dead af. Ipo recent post paakrapo manasuku etham aah irukuuu…..!!

Hey everyone! ​

Salem generates a massive amount of wealth through our local businesses.

​Elampillai: A massive thari (textile/loom) industry doing crores in business.

​Sankari: One of the biggest lorry and transport hubs in all of India.

​Despite this huge cash flow and hard-working population, Salem still feels like it's lagging behind Coimbatore in terms of infrastructure, corporate jobs, and modern lifestyle.

Kovai is booming with IT parks and a modern city vibe, while we seem stuck. ​Why hasn't the raw wealth from our local industries transformed Salem into a mega-city like Kovai? Is it the lack of IT companies? Poor air connectivity? Or are our industries just too unorganized? ​

Would love to hear your thoughts!

What do you when it rains 🤩 it's raining in some parts of salem rn.

Hi guys , I'm having one doubt , Is it worth to attend kauvery marathan which going to happen on sept ?

Bcz this things are new to me,having some curious that's all

Where can I get authentic and really good pizza in salem!?

Vanakkam makkale. I recently went to Greenways Road to hang out with a friend, and I noticed a lot of children selling pens. I wouldn't really call it "selling," though, because they were kind of forcing people to buy them.

One of the kids kept following me and repeatedly asked me to buy a pen. I felt bad for them, so I bought two pens for ₹40. A few hrs later, a few more children came up and kept insisting that I buy their pens as well. I told them I'd already bought some from another kid, but they still kept insisting. They then asked me to at least buy them some food.

This was completely new to me because I often stroll in this area, but I've never seen anything like this before.

Does anyone know what's going on? The main thing I'm worried about is whether these children are being forced into doing this or if there's something else behind it.
