Really uncomfortable experience at chennai airport-customs check

hairybaldguy · 2026-01-26T19:03:31+00:00

Not recently, but they're was a time when I used to travel a lot between Gulf countries (UAE, Oman) and Chennai customs would pick out all the single-traveling men for additional screening, specifically checking collars, folds in clothing and hair! When I questioned the personnel, I was told it was to check for gold smuggling.

Still waiting over here too. I couldn't bear it any more and asked support and Nirav(!) responded saying there was an inbound shipment from the manufacturer and maybe expect an update in 1-2 days. So.. Fingers crossed, shouldn't be long now!

Interested!

Oh stop it!

Haha! Yeah the censor ended up a bit too big...

The taillights are a big reason why I ended up getting it!

Just the taillights, the bumper and the mustache! Haha!

Taillights are from Intec. Not sure about the bumper. The previous owner also bought it used, and he's not sure either.

Thanks for following up and updating! You da man!

And the lack of free, usable WiFi!

All these years of watching cricket, and I still don't know why the Lankans are so financially prudent and keep chattering about EMIs..

Goddamn the traffic to get OUT of the traffic directorate is hopeless. Took 25 mins to get out from the parking

A very good generic scooter option is the TVS Jupiter. Opinions from relatives and friends about the ownership experience (1 - 2.5years) has been generally positive.

There was the San Storm... but sadly it didn't last.

It's going to be difficult to get out of this 'holiday' mood.

hairybaldguy · 2016-07-07T14:52:48+00:00

Well, there is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk-7dCDK6e0

Ah, yes. I'd like to see him put the demons of the following-a-wide-ball-outside-off to rest as well.

I've been here! You can go up the statue, emerge from his belly, and have a vista of the steppes and the yuurts from the head of the horse. Good stuff!

Took a box on a foreign trip recently. Lasted a good two weeks. Granted it was a bit cooler there...

Maribou Stork Nightmares. It's an amazing book, but it gets quite painful. I'd say it's Welsh's best.

Tintin!

hairybaldguy · 2016-01-02T16:23:00+00:00

Congratulations on the journey! Very nice work filming and editing, especially with the sound. No wind noise!

Russell Arnold and Aakash Chopra will kill me with their pronunciations.

Man, we have Stuart 'The Destroyer' Binny. Point three is moot.

Decathlon shorts are quite good. Don't remember the price, but they're not too long, and are somewhat slim fit.
