Tiruvannamalai pilgrimage donation - genuine or scam? This happened just now - a group of 4 swamiji s (tambrams basically), knocked on our door, all dressed up in panchakacham and rudraksha mala and said they were taking up pilgrimage to Tiruvannamalai for Karthika deepam. Immediately i understood, they were seeking donation. Now despite being religious, i do not encourage this door to door canvassing, like annadanams, temple building, most importantly the Saai baba thallu vandi donation gang. But they looked genuine so i gave a hundred bucks. They chanted some mantras for me and my family... 3 0 replies
Autowalas are the largest group of unionised toxic people I have no sympathy for autowalas esp in Chennai and Bangalore. All I have are bad experiences with them. 1.2km ku 350 ketkaranga. On top of that some of the most repeat harrasment charges against girls are on these guys only. Its not safe to allow your daughter or sister to walk along any auto stand. I would rather feel more safe in letting my daughter get a rapido or red taxi because all ID and phone number can be directly sent to me and will be easy to... 3 0 replies

Are WagonR Uber Drivers the Most Chill? Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed this? My dad’s been spotting a pattern with Uber rides in WagonRs. Every single time, the driver just sticks to the displayed fare—no extra demands, no drama! My parents even took a 40 km ride for just ₹500, and the driver didn’t ask for tips or anything. It’s honestly surprising. Meanwhile, Ola drivers won’t even bother with polite requests for fare hikes—they just cancel the ride outright like it’s no big deal. For context, we live in the suburbs of... 2 0 replies
Auto anna paavangal Guys recently I have been seeing a lot of things about the auto drivers being a d*ck. So why are they being like that and what drives them towards that extent.

Really bad experience with EatSure Felt super hungry, desperately wanted to eat pizzas in this chill climate. Headed to EatSure, ordered a pizza combo. Their audacity - showed 50 minutes delivery time. Waited patiently for 50 minutes - semma pasi. 51 minutes went by, no sign of order. And the Eatsure app showed : "Arriving early at 6:05" while it was 6:30 in the evening. I desperately called the delivery partner, who said he hasn't picked up the order at all even after one hour, and he calmly says he will pick it up... 4 0 replies
