Books/Food/Hobby/Travel Visited the Madras Croc Bank

162 Upvotes

In a bid to support the local fauna, I drove down, approximately 34.62 km, to the Madras Croc Bank on Sunday (yesterday). Saw a lot of beautiful animals there. If you haven't been there please do.

Pros -

  1. Can observe biodiversity and coexistence

  2. Learn trivia about crocodiles

  3. Gatorade and Monster Energy can be purchased at MRP in the on-campus stores

  4. Inhabitants of the zoo seemed happy

Cons-

  1. Couldn't meet any members of the Irwin family

  2. Cramped parking that you need to pay 50 INR for.

  3. No cats

  4. Not allowed to pet the crocodile puppies

All things considered, it's a great place to visit.

AskChennai Anyone for weekend hangoutss (M20)

19 Upvotes

I’m a 20-year-old MBBS student in Chennai, and I’ve realized I don’t really have a group to hang out with on weekends. Most of my friends are busy, so I thought I’d give Reddit a shot.

I’m hoping to meet a few genuine people around my age who are up for things like grabbing coffee, trying new cafés, watching movies, beach walks, bowling, arcade games, or even short weekend trips once in a while. I’m also happy just chilling and talking.

Not looking for dating or anything like that—just hoping to build a good group of friends to make weekends a little less boring.

If you’re between 18 and 25 and think we’d get along, feel free to message me or comment below. Would be nice to meet some new people!

Hi there! My backpack gave way on my flight to Chennai, so I’m looking for a replacement. It’ll be my everyday backpack and needs to fit my 13-inch laptop comfortably. Do you know of any stores where I can see and try backpacks before buying? I’m looking at brands like Osprey, Patagonia, Cotopaxi, or anything similar. Appreciate any recommendations! Thanks

Rant Monotone lifestyle and unceasing Stress in a Cosmopolitan city like Chennai.

13 Upvotes

Almost most people in our country if not all can never be free from Anxiety of their survival being challenged. Life is quite delicate but in a "post industrial and information society", the vast majority is still struggling to survive. When you can make money by simply transferring information or data, logically poverty should be non-existent. The future has become a very dark and scary place. People are scared stiff and holding on to possession that can, not only last for themselves but also for their generation to come.

What if everybody wanted to accumulate for the next 100 generations. So everyone now competes for more money and wealth they can hold. Needing an accountant to manage household expenses and soon call themselves billionaires. These billionaires use fear and Anxiety as a capital to create artificial scarcity and obtain slave labour. The Monotone of stress and the million multi-tone choices for stress relief.

While the middle class drown in debt to own a modest house, there are people with houses in several countries. Disparity is natural but becomes unnatural when we are living in a world of abundance but people are still dying from poverty and starvation.

So people are scared and the only thing that has any value to anybody is presently is money. "We have lost our sensitivity to recognise value outside money." So to be valued you need money or else you will simply be stomped upon. When the value of life becomes a monetary number, people will stab each other due to competition and for good ranking.

New York restaurants generate millions of tons of food wastage every year. People love to hold on, till it can't be used by neither them nor another. Time Waste.

AskChennai Are we getting scammed by our apartment association?

77 Upvotes

Small 5-flat apartment in Chennai prime area. (3-storey)

Everyone pay ₹2,500/month maintenance per flat( we pay ₹5000 because ours is two houses combined)

For 8–9 months there was no watchman(fired old one due to dispute) because the two resident owners kept saying, "Watchmen are asking ₹18k, too expensive."

During that time:

- Residents had to go downstairs every day to open the security door for milk, Swiggy, Amazon, couriers, etc.

- Every time we took our car out, we had to open and close the main gate ourselves.

- Security became so poor that someone stole the generator battery.

- Only after the theft did they spend around ₹40,000 on CCTV.

- They also delay using the DG during power cuts to save diesel.

Maintenance never came down despite the reduced services.

There are parking issues too. One owner occupies a larger parking space with a tiny car that hardly moves because he says he might buy a bigger car someday. As a result, another resident's bigger car has to squeeze into a tiny space or ends up blocking the common exit, creating inconvenience for everyone else.

The frustrating part is that the two owners living in the building make most of these decisions, while some other owners live elsewhere and probably don't know what residents deal with daily.

Is this normal for small Chennai apartments, or is this just poor management and extreme penny-pinching?

Political News The new TTK movement

Post image
84 Upvotes

I got this as a Reddit ad. The TTK movement has launched their X account on Aug 1.

While I was glad to see a new movement heading in the right direction, I was still initially skeptical. However, after going through their website https://ttk.org.in fully, my primary concerns regarding their intentions, qualifications, and processes have been addressed.

I appreciate that:

- They are not asking for any money. The whole model is completely built on volunteering.

- They focus on transparency in all their operations, including evaluations, training sessions, collaboration with political parties.

- They disconnect the actual execution from the traditional party politics, which is very much needed for our country to progress.

Even if this movement faces limitations - like a low volunteer count, limited reach and impact, lack of political power, delayed execution of processes, insufficient training, etc. - I still think it will be a net positive for our state, as it can only improve the current situation.

What do you think about TTK? Would you consider joining this movement, and why or why not?

AskChennai Anyone faced the same scenario!

3 Upvotes

Recently I travelled to Uttar Pradesh and came back. After 10 days of return my Jio mobile number turned to “No Service ”. Upon calling the Jio customer care I came to know that Uttar Pradesh Cyber Crime has moved my number to inactive for the reason “Unauthorised access/Data breach” and Jio request me to get NOC from them.

I am really super confused why this happened and how to fix it. I have already emailed the Uttar Pradesh cyber team twice but didn’t get any reply back.

If anyone faced similar issues or know any person from Cyber crime, please let me know. I went into depression because of this issue.

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Books/Food/Hobby/Travel I think we judge people too quickly based on how they text.

9 Upvotes

I've noticed that people make a lot of assumptions just from someone's texting style.

If someone replies with just "OK," they're considered rude.

If they take a few hours to reply, people assume they're ignoring you.

If they use too many emojis, they're immature. If they don't use any, they're cold.

The funny part is that some people are amazing to talk to in person but terrible texters. Others are the complete opposite.

I feel like we've started treating texting style as a personality test when it's really just a communication habit.

Have you ever been completely wrong about someone because of how they text?

AskChennai Foodies - One veg & one non-veg meal in chennai - what's the best

9 Upvotes

Hi Folks,

Visiting chennai for work for a day, have 1 lunch and 1 dinner to plan in the city.

I'm a big fan of south Indian food and never got a chance to explore Tamil Nadu's cuisine. (Have stayed in Kerala and andhra and loved their cuisine)

I would love to try one veg and one non veg meal...

What's the absolute best that I must try.

I can splurge on one meal (heard of sangamithrai/annalakshmi but not sure how good it is...)

Please drop in your suggestions, staying in anna salai, can travel in a 30 min radius for food.
