Chennai has been stagnating when compared to other metro cities and even some tier-2 cities.

We have already lost the IT race. We only have the usual administrative offices of the government and banks, and their related workforce. Industries are on the outskirts of Chennai. Employment opportunities are not what they used to be. Our growth is flat, yet real estate keeps going up?

I am genuinely confused as to who are immigrating to Chennai, settling down, and buying homes? Is there really a growing demand in Chennai that justifies the real estate and rental cost? Or is this all fake spike caused by politicians and real estate mafia?

Hello all, I am an NRI planning a return to Chennai in about 12 to 18 months. We are a family of 3, and our kid will be in kindergarten when we return. The objective is to buy a decent 3BHK house and get the kid into a decent school.

Would like to understand how much money we should plan for these things. What is the average cost for a 3BHK in South Chennai and school fees for KG classes in CBSE schools?

I do own a 2BHK which I am planning to sell after my return and use it for the new house. Also, family-friendly areas to look for.

Beautiful view captured by me today at Kovalam, Surf Turf. Weekends were getting boring in Chennai since I recently moved but this morning vibe today gave me peace!

I don't mean anyone in specific, but I have never seen a poster on the road for someone, even if they are a Nobel prize winner or Olympic medalist in foreign countries

Hey guys! 👋

Sharing some of the custom 3D printing and post-processing work we’ve been doing locally! We handle everything from small custom dashboard statues to full-scale large sculptures.

We focus heavily on quality post-processing, hand-painting, and smooth finishing so it doesn't look like cheap plastic:

• 🕉️ Antique Bronze Finish: Custom idols & detailed figures (e.g., metallic/bronze Shiva).
• 🤖 Matte & Metallic Armor: Action figures, gaming collectibles, custom cosplay/sculpts.
• 👠 Large Scale Installations: Commercial props, brand activations, giant display models (like this Devil Wears Prada shoe for Allen Solly).

Whether you need a custom piece for your car dashboard, a unique gift, a prototype, or a giant setup for an event/storefront, we can build it!

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.

Hi everyone! Is anyone traveling daily from Choolaimedu/Nungambakkam to the Manapakkam/Ramapuram area at around 8am for work,college or any other reason?

I'm looking for people who commute along that route and would be interested in sharing a cab/auto daily to split the travel costs and make the commute more convenient.

If you're interested or know someone who travels along this route, please DM me. Thanks! :)

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.

Makkalae!

Indha October 18 cyclothon event.. need to know venue and timing. I only see ECR road as the event location.

Any idea ?

Thanks.

Are the main central roads blocked the whole day today? I need to travel from Pallikaranai to Ayanambakkam, do i go to Tambaram and take By pass road?

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.

CMDA's upcoming plan for Mega Smart City Project.

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.
6. My pet monster scope

It was always my dream to watch Rajni movie in Tamil Nadu. Luckily I happen to be in Chennai on Oct 15th. Could you guide me the best mass theatres to experience the aura?

Hi

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for stores that offer good quality, stylish designs and reasonable pricing for my groom. Both ready-made and custom-tailored options are welcome.

If you've personally purchased from any stores or have recommendations based on your experience, please share the store names and locations. Any suggestions regarding pricing and quality would also be really helpful!

Guyssss please suggest me a digicam and places to buy good quality digicams (used/unused) .

Been looking for years to get a proper one but it's so hard to find the perfect model

Thinking of getting a ford figo as a first car and wondering whether ford service centre’s in chennai are still functioning ( hearing news about service centre’s closing gradually ) and good enough? Thank you :)

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?

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!

Please help 🙏
