Flyovers might take 10 years to be completed like the metro. Once the magnificent Kathipara butterfly flyover was completed in 3 record years. The 2 wing flyovers in padi and koyembedu too were built in less than 5 years. Such rapid development has been missing in Chennai since 2010 in fact. It continues in the recent reign too. Teynampet - Saidapet flyover began construction in late 2023. 1.5 years now only 5% of work has been completed. Same with Maduravoyal-Port expressway. 3 years into the project and completion levels stand at 10-20% and the hyped iron bridge in Tnagar too... 1 6 replies

Since my card had Tap & Pay enabled and the conductor was polite, I asked him to give it a try. if it failed, I’d pay in cash. He selected the card option, I tapped, voila! ticket got printed. Even the conductor... 4 5 replies

World of influencers and celebrities I’ve had the chance to work closely with some of the top influencers in Chennai, and let me tell you, there’s often a huge difference between what they show on TV, Instagram, or YouTube and what they’re actually like in real life. People around them treat them like they’re untouchable—like they’re almost gods. But they forget, these influencers are human too. The reality is, 95% of the content you see from them is paid. Every influencer, celebrity, and food blogger has a manager who handles their shoots and payments.... 4 0 replies
