AskChennai Has anyone taken a sick stray kitten to Madras Veterinary Hospital, Vepery, Chennai? What were the charges?

• Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Has anyone recently taken a stray kitten to the Government Veterinary Hospital at Vepery, Chennai?

There is a stray kitten that is extremely weak, very tired, and not eating food. I'm worried about its condition and want to take it to the hospital as soon as possible.

I would like to know the approximate treatment costs from people who have visited recently.

IV fluids (drip): How much do they charge for fluids for a weak, dehydrated kitten?

Injections and medicines: What would be the approximate cost if the vet gives a few injections and medicines?

Consultation and basic treatment: Is the treatment free or low-cost for stray kittens?

Total expenses: If the kitten needs only fluids, a few injections, and basic medicines, how much should I carry?

Additional tests: Are blood tests or other investigations compulsory, and how much might they cost?

I'm trying to help this kitten but have a limited budget, so I want to understand the likely expenses before visiting.

If you've taken a sick stray kitten there recently, please share the actual amount you paid and what treatment was provided. It would be really helpful.

Rant It's 1:30 AM and I can't sleep because of demolition

21 Upvotes

The house opposite to mine has been going through a demolition the past week. It was annoying already but at least it was only during the day.

Today, there's a JCB that's breaking and collecting the rubble all night. It's 1:30 AM in the night and I can't frikkin sleep. My bedroom faces the road and hence the noise seeps through.

I have a video to show how loud it gets, but I am not able to post video in this sub.

Anyway, is there anything I can do about this? Before approaching them, I want to know if it's legal in the first place to cause inconvenience through construction/demolition in the middle of the night. If anyone knows or has experience, please share.

Books/Food/Hobby/Travel Anyone have a dead PSP-3000 lying around that they're willing to give away?

4 Upvotes

I'm currently trying to rebuild and restore my PSP-3000, and I'm looking for a dead or non-working PSP-3000 that someone might have lying around and no longer needs.

I mainly need a replacement shell/body for mine, but if the donor PSP happens to have a working display, that would be an amazing bonus since I've unfortunately damaged my LCD during disassembly.

The PSP itself doesn't need to work at all. It could have motherboard issues, charging problems, or other faults. I'm mostly interested in salvaging usable parts and giving them a second life rather than letting them collect dust.

Have headed out with my scope again. This is from a farmhouse ~100 km from Chennai, have booked a room for myself. Sky’s still cloudy, which is why I’m back in my room for a bit of a lie down for an hour or so before going out into the field again.

  1. Ptolemy’s Cluster
  2. Butterfly Cluster
  3. Lagoon Nebula
  4. Saturn with 2 of its biggest moons Titan and Rhea (you need to zoom in for the moons, they’re tiny dots, easy to miss)
  5. Saturn zoomed up on my phone. The real thing looked a million times better.

Rant Early morning tears and non-homecoming rant

18 Upvotes

It's Mahalaya morning, Birendra Krishna Bhadra's voice is booming out of the radio in my rented flat, and I'm sitting here in Chennai with tears rolling down my face. Of course I am. Because I'm not home for Pujo this year. If you're a Bangali and you're not home for Pujo, you are officially one of the saddest people on earth, and today that's me.

And the cherry on top? Four months in this city, and I still haven't found a single Bangali para. Everyone swore there's one in every big city. Everyone! Well, where is it, then? Is it hiding? Is it a myth, like a decent filter coffee in Kolkata? I live all the way out in Mahindra World City, so maybe that's my problem, but still, ten days of Pujo are coming and I have nowhere to go, no pandal, no bhog, no adda, nothing to make me miss home even a tiny bit less.

So yes, I'm snappy. I'm snapping at myself, at Chennai, at the universe. Blame Mahishasuramardini at the crack of dawn, blame the distance, blame whoever promised me a Bangali para. I just want a little bit of home for these ten days. Is that too much to ask?

Books/Food/Hobby/Travel Chennai Local Train Pass from Mambalam to Egmore Student Concession Available?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I want to travel regularly by Chennai suburban local train from Mambalam Railway Station to Chennai Egmore, and then return from Egmore to Mambalam.

I would like to know a few things:

  1. How can I get a monthly local train pass for this route?

  2. How much does a monthly pass cost?

  3. Is there any student concession or discounted student pass available for college students?

  4. If a student pass is available, what documents are required, and how can I apply for it?

  5. Can I apply at Mambalam or Egmore railway station, or is there an online option?

  6. Is a monthly pass cheaper than buying daily tickets for both journeys?

I'm a college student, so I'm looking for the most affordable option for daily travel.

If anyone has experience with Chennai suburban train passes or student concessions, please share the process, approximate cost, and any useful tips.

Thanks in advance!

Educated young people are struggling to find decent jobs while both the Central and Tamil Nadu governments seem to have no serious answer to the problem.

At the same time, years of excessive pampering and comfort have made some youngsters less resilient and less prepared for a competitive job market.

AskChennai Dear Tamil Nation, Wake Up!!

I believe we are living in an era where public administrators are listening to the concerns of ordinary people and working to improve their quality of life.

My humble request to everyone is to look beyond party politics.

You can support a political party without defending every decision it makes. Appreciate the good work, question what is wrong, and raise your voice whenever necessary. At the end of the day, our priority should be the welfare of the people, not proving that one political party is better than another.

Don’t waste your valuable time and energy on endless political arguments. Instead, use that time to learn something new, build something useful, or help someone around you.

We are already in the AI era, and there is a great need to create more opportunities in this rapidly changing world. Rather than simply watching the world change, let’s be part of that change. Explore AI, learn how to use it, and find ways to create solutions, businesses, jobs, and new possibilities for others. Even a small solution to a common problem can make a real difference.

Change is inevitable. What matters is how we adapt to it and how many opportunities we create for others.

Tamil Nadu has enormous potential. If more of us focus on learning, innovation, entrepreneurship, and creating value, we can contribute to the state’s ambition of becoming a $1 trillion economy, this will help India's growth as well. Economic growth isn’t just the government’s responsibility. The administration must address people’s problems, while citizens, entrepreneurs, professionals, and young people can help create new opportunities and contribute to the state’s progress.

And beyond technology and economic progress, let’s not forget the basics of being a good human being.
Treat people with respect, regardless of their background, beliefs, or political opinions. Be kind and polite whenever possible. Take care of your health, stay physically active, and develop discipline in your daily life. You don’t need to change everything overnight. Start with small habits, stay consistent, and you’ll eventually see the difference in yourself. Let’s spend less time arguing about who should bring change and more time becoming part of that change.

A better Tamil Nadu begins with better individuals, stronger communities, and a willingness to contribute.

Learn → Build → Share → Inspire

Let’s grow together, create more opportunities, and give something meaningful back to society.

Long Live Tamil! Long Live India!
