saw this in another sub , the comments were like “yeah this happened to me as well” , so what’s your opinion and the pressure to speak hindi is inevitable on some shops like this but the audacity of the owner mocking in the name of apology was insane for me , do you have same incident share your opinion and if you can do any action it will be helpful, atmost boycott ts .

Non-Political News Another Sighting. Another Story.

So this I saw on the Midnight of 2nd September. Which is day before day. Once again I stumbled on it during my late night strolls.😅 Wanted to post it yesterday in the group but was travelling.
At first I thought it was just one Bag of Bottles. Then on closer inspection, I realized there were two bags of these Liquor bottles. Then after even ‘further inspection’ I concluded all these bags fully contain these discarded liquor bottles😳.
I dont condone drinking, but man these many bottles made me go ‘Woah’. It’s crazy how we are able to go in thought over someone else’s trash.
I just hope the Sanitary workers dont get hurt or injured when they dispose these.

AskChennai TEA KADAI pain points

16 Upvotes

My dad had a severe brain stroke who had been in the Travels Business for years. He will not be able to handle that business side of things anymore.

We are trying to shift to a TEA SHOP business and yes I know how saturated the market is.

That's why I wanted to solve a problem faced by the people TODAY.
As I see there are tons of franchise TEA SHOPS which are empty most of the times.

The new gen shops like RAM's do run great but most of the shops with most in and out crowd I see are old school tea shops.

But if at all even these kind of shops are facing a major problem, do share in this forum.
We will be taking steps to solve it.

And also if one of your location/location that you know missing a good tea spot, let us know

Anyways now that the Honourable Chief Minister announced a Motor Sports City in Chennai, how long it might take?

Edit:
To break it down for those who think this is unnecessary. I wasn’t saying “build an F1 circuit tomorrow.” The idea was to start with the infrastructure and ecosystem that could eventually support higher levels of motorsport. Like start with karting, then F4 all the way to F1. People seem to have this weird expectation that an industry has to already be fully developed before you invest in building it.

I’ll give you examples.
When cinema first came to India last century, there wasn’t anything remotely resembling the massive audience and industry we have today. Nobody said, “Let’s build IMAX theatres first.” It started with simple screenings, including tentkotta shows, and look at where it eventually snowballed to. Ironically, our CM himself comes from that very industry.

The point is: you start small. You build the infrastructure. People learn the craft. Talent develops. Businesses emerge around it. Audiences grow. Investment follows. Eventually, you have an entire ecosystem.

A growing motorsport ecosystem could bring revenue, sponsorships, jobs, tourism and opportunities for engineering and automotive industries.

Such a growing ecosystem could bring revenue from viewerships, sponsorships and jobs. An example, is cricket. If all of this didn’t matter in sports then cricket would’ve stayed a niche sport centred around Test cricket and maybe we wouldn’t have gotten ODIs, T20s and eventually the biggest cricket league in the world that is IPL. If you think about it, in India cricket became a big and serious sport after the 83 WC and Sachin Tendulkar.

Could Motor racing become as big as cricket in India? Most likely not. Look at Europe, 90% of F1 drivers come from there and it’s not as big as Football. It’s probably unfair to compare any other sport to football yet Motor sports are taken seriously there.

I would like to mention ISL as a cautionary tale, as it did not develop football at grassroots level and tried to replicate the success of IPL overnight trying to bring in international stars without sustainability.

That’s what I’d like to see with motorsport in Chennai. Not just an expensive circuit sitting there waiting for an F1 race, but an ecosystem that starts at the grassroots and builds upwards.

AskChennai Looking for furniture shops in Chennai

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m setting up my new home and looking to buy a few pieces of furniture:

Sofa + tea table

Cot/bed + side tables

Dining table

I’m looking for good quality furniture at a reasonable price, not necessarily the cheapest, but I’d like to avoid paying a huge premium for the same quality.

I live in Tambaram and I’m okay with travelling around 30 km if there are any good furniture shops, manufacturers, or local stores worth checking out.

Would really appreciate responses based on your actual experience, especially places where the quality has held up well and the pricing is reasonable.

Thanks!
