All the best folks Board exams are starting next week and I would like to wish everyone in this subreddit a very best for their exams. With that being said I would like to also state a few things: 1. These marks does not define who you are. It's okay to feel sad and regret if you've scored low but do not think that your life is defined and cut out just because of the numbers on the sheet. People who are bad at studies, try your best to pass atleast. Because whatever... 2 1 replies
Chinnaiye se? Why does that make me a joke in the corporate world? I’m a Chennai guy, born and brought up there. My family has always been simple—mom’s a homemaker, dad’s employed, paid his taxes, and we’ve always been law-abiding citizens. I studied hard, landed a decent job, and moved out of Chennai for work—first to Bombay, now to Bangalore. But here’s the thing: the way people perceive Chennai folks, especially in the corporate world, is baffling. When I say I’m from Chennai, I often get these mocking comments like, *“Acha, Chinnaie se ho kya aap?”* with this weird tone, as if being from... 2 17 replies
Ranveer row - Leave him alone We all have heard about Ranveer's controversial "joke". I was never a fan of him. I like some of his podcasts and I don't like the rest. At times it feels as if he tries too hard or whatever. This was exactly what happened during that godforesaken show that should've been cancelled long back. He was trying too hard to be funny and crack a dirty "joke" that didn't come out well. He spoke without thinking like all of us do at a some points in our lives. And... 4 11 replies

Disappointed with Deva’s Musical Concert at Nandanam YMCA (Feb 15, 2025) ⁷ Yesterday, my mom and I attended Deva's musical concert with high expectations. The minimum ticket price was ₹1000 + tax, and we were excited to see the program and artists. However, by the end of the show, we were completely disappointed. Deva, Mano, and Anuradha Sriram were the only well-known faces, while the rest were mostly Vijay TV artists. The overall performance was subpar, and honestly, Lakshman Sruthi Orchestra is far better than this. Everything at the event was overpriced, and it felt like the organisers were the only... 1 0 replies
