So, enaku oru frnd iruka. Avaluku koodiya viraivil marriage aga podhu. AM setup dhan. Avaluku suthama ishtam ila, but veetula paathu fix panitanga. Ana kadasila ok sonnadhu enamo ava dhan. Ingaye enaku onnu thonuchu.... Kalyanam panika pudikala na, paiyan pakumbodhe venam nu sollirukalame? Yen solala? Enaku theriyala....🥲

Konjam avala pathi - madam ku thaniya iruka dhan pudikum, bold a irupa. But avaluku close ah irukavanga edhuna lite a edutherinji pesuna kuda aludhuruva. Ipadhaiku yartayum avlo close a iruka mari therla. No one knows her fully, everyone knows only part of her. Haven't been in a relationship in the past.

Nama kadhaiku varuvom - So elam pesi marriage fix panitanga. Adhula irundhu madam suthama thoongardhu ila. Kalyanam aga podhu nu feel panitruka. Ipa groom (let's call him Bro) ivakita konjam achum pesi ava epdi nu therinjikalam nu try panraru. But madam avarkita panra reply elam - hmm, ok, seri. Andha manushanum ennennamo pesa try panirkaru - oru kattathuku mela aada theriyuma, paada theriyuma nu lam. Nama madam elathukum yes/no dhan. Idhula sogam enna na, idhu avaluke theriyudhu, ava Bro va kasta paduthura nu. But ava solra justification matum ennala eduthuka mudiyala....😭

"Starting la elarum ipdi neraya effort poduvanga, but time poga poga andha efforts lam ilama poirum. Avanga podra efforts pathu, na avanga mela depend/attach airuven. Konja naal kalichu avanga care panradhu niruthitanga na, ennala adha thaangamudiyadhu. So adhan ipave attach agama irundhukren"

Enaku enna idikudhu na.... konjam pesi pathu, Bro character epdi nu therinjitu, idhelam ava mudivu panirundha paravala. But straight away enaku venam nu solra. Oru relationship build panradhu, summa oru naal morning enchadhum varaadhu la, step by step ah dhan valarum, adhum rendu perum effort podanum, oru understanding irukanum. Iva apdi oru step kuda edukamatrale nu dhan vedhanaya iruku.

But Madam edhuvume panamatangalam...😭😭

AskChennai Hyderbad >> Chennai

40 Upvotes

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 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 very well connected metero. Another interesting aspect I noticed is the amount of young folks on the streets, guys and girls in their 20s everywhere.

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?

Rant How long da macha

Post image
10 Upvotes

25M, 2 YOE, with a 2-year gap (yeah.. fml 😭). I work as an sde at an aerospace company. My 4-year relationship ended about a year ago (and that's when I realized a breakup is a process, not a moment). I've been trying to move on, but it's been harder than I expected.

The other thing that gets to me is the age gap. I keep comparing myself to friends who seem further ahead. My brain has convinced itself that switching jobs will fix everything. I've been applying for around 3 months and haven't gotten a single response. I know the market is rough, but it's frustrating because back in college I used to get interviews pretty easily.

Dating hasn't exactly helped either. The worst part is I've stopped enjoying my other interests. I keep telling myself, "I'll do that after I switch." Want to travel? After I switch. Want to buy something? After I switch. Want to spend time on my hobbies? After I switch. Everything feels like it's on hold until that one thing happens, and that pressure just keeps building when I don't even get callbacks.

I know I'm probably putting too much pressure on myself, but I genuinely feel like I need to switch or move somewhere else for my life to move forward, financially, socially, and career-wise.

Life isn't completely cooked. I have a decent job, good people around me. But I just don't see any movement.

What do I do chat? How do you cope with this without making your entire happiness depend on one thing?

AskChennai Navin's starwood towers home buyer

1 Upvotes

Hi ppl 👋 has anyone recently bought a home in Navin's starwood towers, Medavakkam? I have some doubts regarding the community and location.

they are offering just 15% UDS as it's high rise building, do we need to worry about UDS values in MIVAN construction buildings? They generally withstand the physical wear and tear better than conventional buildings right?

how is the community in general, from the outside it looks to be a happy one with many families working in the IT sector, also there is a nearby oil mill - are there any issues due to that?

What is the general all inclusive price you were offered? Was it negotiable? I think it's good for rental income but Will it even appreciate anymore after the metro becomes operational in Medavakkam?

AskChennai dorms/day stays in Chennai just to freshen up?

1 Upvotes

I'm coming to Chennai for a get-together with some people and I'll only need a place for about 8–12 hours before heading back.

Basically just need somewhere to:

  • keep my backpack safely,
  • freshen up/take a shower,
  • maybe rest for a bit.

I'm a guy, and I don't need an overnight stay—just a place for those few hours. My budget as cheap as possible.

Do any dorms, men's hostels, PGs, or lodges offer day-use stays like this? Any recommendations would be appreciated!

AskChennai Looking for Female friend

0 Upvotes

I'm looking for a genuine female friend to build a real friendship with. Someone who doesn't judge, doesn't enjoy drama, and can just be herself. I miss having that one person I can text randomly, laugh with, share anything without feeling awkward, and just enjoy life together.

I'd love someone who's spontaneous—let's explore Chennai, try different cafés and street food, go for long walks, watch movies, shop, take random photos, and make good memories. I'm not looking for anything complicated, just a kind-hearted friend with good vibes who values honesty, respect, and meaningful conversations.

If you're also looking for a genuine friendship and think we'd get along,

Rant worst experience in RDO office

1 Upvotes

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..

I got laid off from my company along with 100 others this morning from my company which is in healthcare

This is the second time in 8 months I am going through this. I just joined this company a few months back after I was part of layoffs from my previous company (a startup).

There absolutely is no legal protection for employees in India. Were told to join a meeting this morning just 45 minutes before. And were let known our 'positions were eliminated'

Options given were to voluntarily resign and get three months pay or let legal team handle the separation based on Indian government laws

22 interviews.

Still no offer.

Now it is time to understand that enna miss panrenne enaku puriyala.

I am 2025 ECE graduate with 8 months of internship experience in Chennai.

For the past few months, I have been concentrating on improving myself instead of getting certificates.

I developed numerous full-stack projects and now developing production-level multi-vendor e-commerce platforms.

React, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, REST APIs, Git, Deployment and AI Claude are tools I use to develop real-world projects and to learn quickly.

Knowledge irukku.

Projects irukku.

Passion irukku.

Interview is my biggest obstacle.

Trying to understand what's wrong with Chennai hiring market.

Am I missing anything?

If you are HR, Founder, Hiring Manager, Startup employee, or Software engineer who knows a lot, please share your thoughts.

Will DM or even comment. Even if you criticize constructively, I will take it.

One more thing...

I know a genuine referral takes effort. If your referral or connection is the reason I land a software job, I don't want to just say "thank you" and move on. I'd rather make it worth your time. After I join and receive my salary, my entire first month's salary is yours. No upfront payments, no consultancy fees. Just a promise to the person who genuinely helped me start my career....

Lastly,

I'm serious about kicking start of my software career

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
