Tips to survive college life with no friends in chennai I decided to change myself by quitting ranting and whining and volunteered myself in a ngo in chennai and realized I can make friends still.Until I volunteered in that ngo, I thought I am a shitty person because nobody in the college included me in their gangs or groups. I feel often avoided in college. A college guy always calls me out anaathai (orphan) everytime and says no one gives a damn whether I'm present or absent in college. Sometimes I, myself feel like that with no calls or... 1 14 replies

Why no major FAANG operations in Chennai? I always wondered why Chennai has no major faang companies. Google, Meta, Microsoft all have extremely large operations in Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Gurgaon. Google has even opened a small office in Pune. But none of these companies even consider Chennai? Why is that so? Is it because of language, weather, lack of talent or lack of any support from govt which they expect? Many of these engineers in these companies earn 1.2-1.3Cr with just 4-5yrs of experience. Having such a economically viable crowd is always great for the micro... 2 0 replies

How can I help a sick stray cat, and where can I find affordable treatment for her? Back in December, during the rain, I let a pregnant stray cat stay under the parking lot with a little cardboard setup. Sadly, all her kittens passed away. She was really young herself and probably didn’t know how to care for them. Since giving birth, her stomach has stayed big and keeps growing. I tried giving her a dewormer mixed in food, but it didn’t help. She is lethargic, doesn’t meow much, barely moves, and her big stomach seems to weigh her down. She doesn’t play or chase around... 3 3 replies
