Chennai airport Having flown into all the major airports in India, I think Chennai has one of the worst airports. Long queues at baggage security clearance during arrival, leaking roofs, no connectivity between the terminals, taxi stands out of nowhere (enduring taxi and auto mafia on the way to the aerohub) - the ordeal is endless! What do you think? 5 0 replies
How did you convince yourself to move from Bangalore to Chennai? I studied and worked in Chennai before I moved to Bangalore. I have been working in Bangalore for around 4 years now but I want to move to Chennai. Even after being in Bangalore for 4 years it does not feel like home to me.

Branded surplus(Columbia/ GAP) stores in Chennai. Recently I met someone in train who told me about a place in Chennai which is like a wholesale/retail area for branded surplus clothes.

I wasn't that eager to talk to him at that point and I didn't ask for more details then (which I regret) - is anyone aware of some places like that in and around Chennai. I am looking for something from Columbia or GAP. Thanks. 5 5 replies

Chennai carpenter W maxxxx Hello people, don't mind the tag. I wasn't sure what else to use. Anyways, I had a ton of carpentry work today at my home and I availed the services of a carpenter via urban company. He was an absolute delight.

At first, I had booked the slot only for curtain fitting but he was telling me that this month was a bit on the lower end for him, so I was like "Raitu na. Naraya vela iruku. 2 naal ah... 1 7 replies
How Can I Develop the Quick Thinking & Social Skills of an MBA Grad or MBB consultants? I’m 25F, and I admire how MBA grads & MBB consultants seem to have sharp thinking, quick responses, and great social skills.

Right now, I feel like I take too much time to think before answering, and I struggle with social interactions. I know improving these skills will take time, but I want to actively work on them. For those who’ve developed these skills (or are naturally good at them),... 1 5 replies

Auto drivers once again I went to write exams at an XYZ place in Chetpet from Royapettah. The fare showed 99-104 INR on OLA. I informed the driver that I would be 5 minutes late, and he agreed. At the point of dropping, he said, **"Extra kudukalam illa konjam."** I said, **"Mudiyathu, venum na munadiya ketruklam illa? Ippo vanthu yen kekuringa? Price paathu thaana accept paninga?"** He then started questioning my ethics, values, and punctuality, along with my discipline! I was like, *What?* and he started giving me advice, shouting on the road.... 3 9 replies
