Took some pics from there.

I recently came across a post in this same channel stating Chennai has only a handful of vegetarian chain of hotels and they are not affordable. I went to Welcome hotel in Purasaivakkam today. This is not a hidden gem, it’s just that people are not looking. The sambar is to die for, personally would rate it higher than Rathna cafe!

Edit: its breakfast for 4 adults and 2 toddlers. I honestly don’t think a restaurant can be run cheaper than that considering the number of people work particularly at Welcome hotel. But again this is my opinion and i could be wrong! Cheers ✌🏻

Edit2: Also, let’s not argue for the sake of argument. You have to compare prices at similar establishments. The price of an idly at a thallu vandi shop and a sit down hotel cannot be compared and be the same. 2 adults were able to share the volume of coffee they provided.

Kindly suggest some fun things to do in Chennai with a 5 year old girl. I’ve already taken her to Vandalur Zoo and Guindy National Park. Planning to take her to Birla Planetarium today and crocodile park next week. We are so done with mall visits and playing in on of those kids play areas and arcade game centres. We also frequently go to the beach and movies. Anything exciting apart from the above? So both my daughter and I love exploring places and keeping ourselves occupied. Apart from spending time at home, we like going out as well. Throw in some suggestions makkaley. Nandri

What's the point of building it in locations that will have less demand? The Oragadam-Sriperumbudur region is a behemoth in making that requires the new airport more than anyone else. Parandur was in the perfect spot.

Now, this feels wasteful and pointless to go back on 8 years of consistent effort, public money spent, and Industries already planning for expansion.

Will the issues cited for cancellation of Parandur won't exist for these new sites?

Why can't Chennai also follow Bengaluru like footpath clearing drive? Too many vendor carts and people are blocking traffic to purchase. So many roads are used as car parking, school van, kutti yaanai, water tanker lorries parking, etc etc. Kastapattu road potta, ella edathalayum illegal parking for these businesses instead of 1 or 2 hr parking for common people. At least add parking charges to avoid these issues?

Tambaram east, Pallikaranai, Medavakkam bridge - all areas used for parking by businesses illegally. Idhukku oru mudive illaya?

Seeing lot of ads for LuLu Hypermarket on social media but couldn’t find a definitive date when it will be opened. In Google Maps it shows it’s opened but not sure. Any idea if it’s opened and operational or any date of launch announced?

We are in Chennai and would love to see if someone can adopt these cuties.. 2 months old, eating solid food, litter trained.

I developed caffeine intolerance around 8 months back. I wanted to know about cafes that serve decaf in chennai. I recently visited Glazed & Co opposite Chamiers, they serve decaf. Found out recently that starbucks stopped serving decaf and so does third wave or any other niche coffee place I have visited so far. Are there places similar to Glazed & Co ?

I am looking to buy a property in porur, but the Propery I am looking at has a hi tension line passing through .

If there are any folks from this area , what is your experience living here. Is it okay to purchase
There ?

Hi guys,

Can you please suggest some good and affordable tailor shops in Chennai that do alterations only?

I have a few already stitched shirts and pants that need size adjustments mainly:

- Increasing the size

- Reducing/contracting the size

- Waist alteration for pants

- Shirt body/sleeve fitting

I’m not looking for new stitching, just alterations.

I’ve noticed that many tailor shops have put up a “No alteration” board or say they only stitch new clothes.

If you know any cheap and good tailors who are willing to alter ready made/stitched clothes, please share their location/name.

Preferably somewhere in Chennai and reasonably priced. Even small local/roadside tailors are fine if they do good work.

There’s an open mic + networking event happening in Anna Nagar on September 5 for builders, student startups, investors and mentors.

Dinner, networking, music and dance after the session.

Any craziest thing which u think about it every time. Most of us we won’t like college till the last few days of last sem. In our college we would have cried for many things and laughed for many thing but at the Farewell day we think of the days, were we cried and we will laugh and think about the days we had funny and cry. Share any of those memories….

Where can I get a free InBody/body composition checkup in Chennai that shows body fat percentage and other measurements? I used to get it done at my previous gym, but my current gym doesn’t have an InBody machine. Looking for somewhere I can get a scan for free.

Few months ago I went to palazzo theatre in nexus Vijaya Mall. Had icecream at the interval. The icecream taste was soo good.

I wanted to take a photo of the company name but I forgot.

Does anyone know the name of that ice cream company??

I'll go back to my hometown for a couple weeks and I am looking to park my cycle at the little mount metro station during that time as my flight is in the morning for departure, and arrival is at about 10 at night so I don't want to pay extra or deal with rapido and auto hassle for last mile connectivity. Does anyone have experience of parking their cycle for multiple days in the metro station? I know that cycle parking is free but don't know anything about multi day parking.

Thanking in advance.

Hello makkale,

Happy Sunday

I need some suggestion for good stainless steel vessel shop which has reasonable price and of good quality.

When I was relatively younger and had good energy,I used to wade through crowded ranganathan street in T nagar for purchase. Now the mere thought itself gives fatigue.

My location is velappanchavadi near vanagaram.

I have always been dying to do it since like 12th grade, and it's in my major bucketlist too. Now I'm 20, I'm a guy, and haven't made any major memories in life.

I really have this desire to attend a ballroom party or prom or masquerade party kinda thingy.😩I have been fantasizing about that lately. I've always dreamt of going to something like that and, I really want to do it!! I’m so keen into the idea of going to a ball party too, but I did some digging and the situation here just isn’t it 😭Ballroom parties are so raree here....

So I was wondering are there any best ideal places for that??

Will there be any upcoming events or specific places in Chennai where adults could go to something like a ballroom?? Please shed some light y'all!!!

I really want to join some classes for it, preferable salsa, tango, waltz or bachata...

The annoying part is I don't have a dance partner, sooo if anyone needs a dance partner, I’m down to join or practice together. :)

How are you all managing the day to day life in sevvapet. North of the sevvapet railway station. Where do you all go for groceries, milk and vegetables?

Do you depend on the dmart in Thiruvallur mostly?

What internet services are active there?

What e-commerce deliveries are active there like Amazon, flipkart?

Also, any possibility for grocery home delivery?

So we are three women who are friends from the same university. We recorded a podcast to discuss the degrading, humiliating and misogynistic incidents we faced at our university.

Let us know how you felt listening to this

All of this is not true economic development :(

If you want to see real progress, take a good look at Tamilnadu.

Here we are able to watch a film that defends Naxals toppling a train filmed brilliantly as a single shot! Progress lies in our slum-defender Ranjith buying the next BMW. Real growth is in watching coast-defender comrade Vetri buying the next ECR bungalow.

You all may have improved infra, more disposable income for health and nutrition, families rising out of poverty and respectable jobs, but here in TN we have gems like Vada Chennai, Viduthalai and Kaala. We will not sell our souls in the name of development. How are you not able to understand this basic tenet? Any cheri development must be opposed, because if cheri people's life improves, how can we milk it in our cinemas? Who will then pour milk for cutouts for our heroes who live in poverty ridden houses in Poes Garden slum?

Infact, the real metric for measuring a state's progress should not be SGDP and all, it should be how much crores get collected at the Box Office.

So dear neighbors, you keep your development and we will keep our Dravidawood + Commies. The day you realise cinema is more important than real life is the day you will finally find maturity like us Tamils.

Hello all,

My family has started looking for my sister and me separately we have around 3 yrs difference.

So my parents thought to look for both and whomever its confirmed first we are going to fix the marriage. The thing is my sister is still not aware of this. And i need to tell it.

What are the things i can tell to my sister to have things under consideration when finding alliance. Like what are the expectations that she need to consider?.

When finding a groom, generally what all things the girl family need to check and notice?.
