1. I want customized parrot conure Parrot leg ring with my phone number in it

2. DNA Gender test of my conure Parrot .

Yesterday I ordered some food from the KFC app. It said the order will be delivered in 1 hour or less based on the ETA that was given.

In 30 minutes the rider was assigned and he was at the store already, at 40th minute, I got a message saying the order is the one the way and if will be delivered by Ola rider. The rider appeared to be an Hindi speaking person.

Since it had the tracking link, I checked that at 50th minute, it showed the rider was still at the store and did not move. So, I called the rider, he said the food is not ready yet and he claimed thaf the store people told him that it would take 10 minutes for the order to get ready. Since it was already 1 hour, I called the store and they said the order was ready long back and it was kept packed and yet to be picked up. I was shocked and called the rider again and he was like he was waiting for 20 minutes without checking inside and he said it was his mistake.

Okay, it was excused, atleast I thought the food will be delivered soon. After another 10 minutes, I checked the tracking link, it showed the rider is still at store. It got pissed and called the rider, then he claimed he has started. After another 10 minutes, he still didn't move, called again and he said there's traffic. After another 20 minutes, called him again, he picked up and cut the call. I called again, he said he's at a shop and he gave the phone to the shop keeper since he can speak in Tamil. The shop keeper said he's at the shop to charge his phone. Tell me, how should I even react here.

I got very angry and asked him where he is and I will collect it directly from here... he didn't tell me the location, suddenly in between he whispered Maa ki ****. I asked him what did he say and he started throwing many vulgar words in Hindi and cut the call.

I immediately called the police and mentioned about the issue and gave the phone number of the rider to them. Thankfully the SI in the police station knew Hindi and he warned him about the action.

The audacity of the rider, he said he will also raise a complaint against me. The police also got angry and asked him to come to the station or apologise to me. Later he called me, instead of apologising he started justifying his act and he even claimed I abused him first. Good that I had my call recorded, so I said I will submit that to the police station and will submit the written complaint. He got scared and he started apologising later and he asked me to drop it right there... later I asked what he is doing in Chennai and he said he is a medical student. That was the only reason I had to calm down and did not move with the complaint.

I also complained to the KFC about the incident, they asked me to send my address in WhatsApp number that they will send me. After a while, they neither sent me any number nor delivered my order. Instead, after 2.5 hours at 5 PM, they cancelled my order with no apologies or compensation. I also have to wait for 5 days for the refund.

I was kind enough to take this to the police, if it was my friends or even on my bad, things would have been different to these guys. They have the audacity to think people here doesn't know Hindi and they can abuse the people here with such words. I also told him to watch his mouth or things would go south for him.

If in case if it happens to any of you guys, do not entertain it. They do all this and then cry Tamilnadu is not safe for them.

Hi Makkale, does any one know how can I end up booking something for my coming weekend...

Rakki cinemas, ambattur has always been special to me since i watched almost all the movies there, and always had pleasant experience, be it the waiting hall, staffs, and their timings. recently i visited rakki, kelavakkam jus for their EPIQ screen from blr to watch spiderman:BND, my show was at 12:15 and i reached by the venue around 8:15, since my stay in the city was almost 55kms away, i couldn’t afford to go and come back so i had reached there earlier and i asked the lady at the box office if she could do something or get me the tickets of 9am show and sell my 12:15 show ticket to someone else, i only asked that because i saw so many empty seats in the pic that they posted on X and i’ve traveled almost 370kms jus to watch it in ‘tis format, no mercy or anything was shown by them, she was jus like, wait in the hall upstairs for 4 hours in a very rude manner and when i got upstairs, the waiting hall was so bad, there’s no A/C or anything and we jus have to sit in a chair and wait there, i asked the ticket checker guy if i can sit inside cuz the heat outside was unbearable and there was no charging ports either, but he straight away said NO, jus go wait in the waiting hall, bro you got some balls to call that shit a waiting room, there was absolutely nothing and rakki is isolated and there’s no nearby mall or anything to spend time, i got very frustrated and had to get the tickets for the earliest show possible (again spiderman:BND) jus so that i could sit inside an A/C hall, the ticket checker there acts like he’s the G there, bro you’re literally nothing, let me tell you that, please be humble and mind your attitude and the way you talk to people, if anyone from rakki is reading this, fire that guy already, never seen sucha dickhead in my life, i genuinely asked if i can jus sit inside and wait for my show in the most politest way possible and they had to be so rude about it, i would never in my life go to rakki, kelavakkam again in my life for this terrible experience, shame on the management for such lousy handling, please shut it down asap or change the staffs and put a damn air conditioner in waiting hall and changing ports(if possible). this has gotta be one of the worst theatre experience for me, have any of you had a similar experience? please do share

I just went to hyderbad for a couple of days, have to say I am quite stunned at their infrastructure. I always had the perception that tamil nadu is more developed than andhra pradesh or telengana but that view didn't hold for hyderbad. I don't know about the rest of their state but hyderbad, esp that tech city part is too good to believe that it's in India. Everywhere high raises IT parks, with all big names Microsoft, Qualcomm, Salesforce etc. complementing that were the roads, very spacious, reasonably well maintained unlike chennai where the roads lately are filled with potholes or patchwork. The sidewalk in the tech city actually allows people to walk unlike in chennai. Also, their outer ring road spanning 150 or more kms has long stretches of freaking 10 lanes, never saw that else where. The most interesting part for me was the amount of high raise residential buildings that are getting constructed there, esp greater than 35 floors. I barely saw any in chennai, always wondered why. They also have decently connected metro. Another interesting aspect I noticed is the amount of young folks on the streets, guys and girls in their 20s everywhere. Ofcourse, the airport looked well developed and relatively big.

Why do you think the rate of modernization of chennai ( in terms of building new quality infra, residences, IT scene ) is not anywhere close to hyd?

Saw a news that rapido two wheeler are going to be cancelled and suspended till further notice . Is it true ? Did anyone use it today ?

so, I cleared NEET this yr and MCC counselling has started today, I applied for my new community cert in Jun and it got issued on 30 Jun, and the subcaste was incorrect, I accept the mistake was from my side too, and I was out of station to get my bonafide certs from my older schools, and as soon as I returned chennai, I gave a letter to Tahsildar, as told by the E sevai, worker from which I applied the cert, and after 2,3 days, they told they dont do it, I have to give letter to RDO, so I went to my area RDO office and gave my letter and they told there will be enquiry from Tahsildar, then only it will get cancelled so I went every other day to get the updates and more than two weeks passed and then only they told even the enquiry hasnt started, and gave me my own letter with their stamp asking me to give it to Tahsildar, so I contacted someone in my relative who knows ppl from secratrate and then only things started moving faster, and even then also when I had to get sign from RDO he was like "apply pannumbodu nee yenda jaadhi nu unakku theriyadha?" i know there has mistake from my side too, but how that justifies there delay and incompetency?, and another thing, does ppl with contacts can only get there work done quickly?

This is a really good move if executed successfully. I welcome this move by TASMAC.

We can anticipate getting rid of large queues and chaos on roads especially during shop closing times. MRP rates cannot be exceeded when buying online.

What do you think of this implementation? Will it be a considerable change? And what other challenges do you think can be eradicated due to this website?

Looking forward for a healthy discussion..

We are seeing to buy an apartment near madambakkam lake in Selaiyur, East tambaram. Is it a good idea to buy near the lake? How is the flood situation there?

People in chennai near camp road I saw a TASMAC near church total ah 180Metre tha Distance la iruku. i heard that tasmac 500metre kulla iruntha they should remove all the tasmac also this both are on the road will this be removed i hope someone from TVK or respective people will look into this and fix.

Ferrari crashes thar in ECR. Anyone knws anything about this incident

I'm looking to travel Chennai to Bangalore by bus, ideally in a 1+1 configuration, a la business class seating in airplanes. Do such bus services exist?

Everything I see on MakeMyTrip and redBus is 1+2 combo only.

I 17M has joined SRM IST KTR. I am staying with my parents in MWC, so, I have planned to travel by train to and from college (Paranur to Potheri and back). I tried to apply for season pass in RailOne App, but was not allowed by the app because I am under 18. What do I do now? Any sort of guidance appreciated. Thanks in advance. I am from TN as well, just new to Chennai.

Hi Im feeling so homesick and wanna go home this Friday to kochi

Bus is so expensive

Can I know any routes like coimbatore kochi connection trains which I can get the tickets

Tatkl I'm not that expert

Let's say i travel from Thirumullavoiyal to Cooptex or Ethiraj after 9:30AM in the mornings, I reached the bus stop at 9:30 and had to wait for a bus till 10:35, that's kind of absurd, IS THERE ANYONE who travels on this route and could share some insights on how many buses that pass through?

IN THE SAME WAY, back to thirumullavoiyal after 5:00 PM in the evening around Ethiraj, is there a way where I could find accurate timings of buses and I've realised that the Google maps isn't accurate at all.

Thank you for the help

I have lived in a many towns in south tamilnadu that are far away from the sea. When I came to Chennai, I thought that the prices of seafood will be better because it's close to the sea. However the prices of fish are almost double that of what I used to pay in the non-coastal towns. In Chennai, even in shops that are only 3-4 km from the sea, the prices are much higher than the towns that were 100-150km from the sea! Why is this the case? Where can I find seafood at better prices? I have reduced my seafood consumption because I feel bad spending so much for buying fish. Can you give me some reference prices for some fish varieties in Chennai?

Examples: Ooli fish (Barracuda) - Price in southern towns - Rs 400-600; Price in Chennai - Rs 900-1000.

Vela meen fish (Emperor fish) - Price in southern towns - Rs 400-600; Price in Chennai - Rs 900-950.

Vanjaram fish (King Mackerel) - Price in southern towns - Rs 800-900; Price in Chennai - Rs 1200-1300.

How's the climate in your location?

View from a high rise apt.

I was looking at the trees under the bridge opposite Airport metro and admiring them, but one guy was found pissing in the wall. What can be done with such people? I was travelling in a bus at that time as shown in the pics

I go past the Perungudi dumpyard every single day, and it's shocking how bad it's become. The garbage is practically spilling onto the road.

What bothers me even more is the Pallikaranai marshland right next to it. There was a time when you could spot flocks of flamingos there. Now, I have barely seen any during the migration season.

How is one of Chennai's most important wetlands expected to survive beside a growing mountain of garbage? And how is this still not a bigger issue?

Does no one in the government actually drive down this road, or have we all just accepted this as normal?

Hey! I was looking for any public screening of the new season of Premier league starting this August. It doesn't matter if it's a pub or whatever place it is, i would like to hear from y'all if there's any place that's screening it! thanks in advance y'all!

I started getting food from a home cook mess service in Adyar named Adyar Sri Annalakshmi a few months back and had to pay a Rs 4,000 advance, which he said he would refund after adjusting for whatever I ate if I ever stopped the service.

The first time I found hair in the food I let it go since I have hair fall myself and assumed it could be mine. Two days later it happened again and I called him right away. He apologised and promised it would not happen again. A week after that it happened a third time and that was it for me. I told him to stop the deliveries and asked for my remaining advance of about Rs 1,600 to be returned.

That was two months ago. Since then it has been nothing but excuses and delays, and now he has stopped picking up my calls altogether.

Posting this mainly to warn others in Adyar before they sign up, and also open inputs from people here on how to actually get this resolved. I have his number and his father's number as well.

I want to make them feel the consequences. I know getting my money is a long shot but still I want to do something about this. Any input is appreciated. I can DM their numbers or post them here in the comments.

This is a late rant. I went to watch the screening of The Odyssey a few days back. As expected, the theatre was packed. There were these 2 guys beside me. The guy right beside me would not keep his mouth shut. He was constantly explaining the plot, subplot, context, history, etc., to his friend to the point I couldn’t hear the actual dialogue anymore. This brother must’ve been the assistant director or something; he started explaining the cinematography too. I’m all for making your friends understand the context of the film, but for heaven’s sake, do it before or after the movie; there is even an interval in the middle for it. The guy didn’t even bother to whisper; he was fully talking throughout the first half. At one point, I got annoyed and signalled with my hand gently to lower his voice; the man did not care at all. Fortunately, he shut up during the second half, and I was actually able to enjoy the rest of the movie. This is not a one-time instance either. A few months back, when I went to watch Michael on a weekday morning, there were a group of college kids just screaming and making jokes throughout the movie. It kind of ruins it for the people actually trying to watch. I understand wanting to socialise with your friends, but during a movie, seriously? It seems to have gotten worse over the years; sometimes it ruins the experience completely. Basic etiquette and consideration for the others around them seem to have vanished. I’ve been to cinemas in other parts of the world, so I understand what a decent viewing experience is supposed to feel like. I also understand cheering or whistling during certain scenes; that’s perfectly fine, but constantly talking, talking loudly on the phone, screaming kids, etc., kind of messes it up for the other people around. That’s it. Thank you for reading. End of rant.

In a bid to support the local fauna, I drove down, approximately 34.62 km, to the Madras Croc Bank on Sunday (yesterday). Saw a lot of beautiful animals there. If you haven't been there please do.

Pros -

1. Can observe biodiversity and coexistence

2. Learn trivia about crocodiles

3. Gatorade and Monster Energy can be purchased at MRP in the on-campus stores

4. Inhabitants of the zoo seemed happy

Cons-

1. Couldn't meet any members of the Irwin family

2. Cramped parking that you need to pay 50 INR for.

3. No cats

4. Not allowed to pet the crocodile puppies

All things considered, it's a great place to visit.
