Please don't order products from Instagram or Facebook!!!! I work for a logistics company and in the last two months we have been slammed by plenty of fake shipments. Yeah, the ads on instagram offers cheap price for a kurti, you order it and will end up with only dirty jattis from vadakkans. One you paid for it and the delivery agent closed the order, there is no way to get your money back. Threatening the delivery person with legal action or violence is useless. I'm not saying that all the products that are being advertised are... 4 16 replies

Ola vs uber I feel uber drivers are polite (or manageable) when compared to ola. Is it only me? And price is also less in uber compared to ola. I take uber/ola auto from time to time, there are many times I felt ola drivers are hostile. I don't know if it is just my mindset. So last week my family came over, I took them to a mall. From home we booked uber cab he was friendly and he didn't mind our noisy kids (surprisingly.. even if he said something it... 1 5 replies
Your top 3 briyanis I'll give a bias to where I'm from and I wish everyone does too. Let's all give the recognition the best Briyani outlets have got. In here, I'm not talking about ambience, value for money, or any other Briyanis apart from Chicken. 1) SS Hyderabadi - talks about bias and proceeds with SS, but IMO nothing comes close to their briyani. 2) Rawther Briyani - Keelkattalai bus stand opposite - so flavourful briyani, good quantity and doesn't do anything to your tummy later. 3) Midnight Briyani - Kauvery hospital... 2 20 replies

Service Charge in Restaurants My friend and I went to this restaurant in Chetpet - Kailash Parbat. My friend insisted he’ll pay for the bill. I wanted to make sure we are billed for the items we ordered when I noticed that we were charged 10% service tax. My friend enquired (in Hindi) regarding those charges to which without hesitation they said it’s optional and agreed to take it off the bill. Does this happen in all restaurants you visit? Is this even legal? 3 9 replies
