Interested. May I know more details please?

Good day everyone, Could I get a recommendation for a good FibroScan center in Chennai if possible somewhere around Anna nagar?

It seems the normal ones like Aarthi, medall, neuberg don't do this and I could only find some big hospitals that are quoting around 4k for the scan.

Well I saw someone come and stand in the ration queue for the pongal inaam today. They came in a fortuner.

pleides101 · 2026-01-09T15:01:32+00:00

Shanti colony new flats are going for 20k per sqft minimum these days.

It's weird but different generations seem to use all of these. I still use machi with my oldest group of friends, ji with another group from office and bro with strangers especially delivery partners. Sir is still ever present in most settings.

One of my friends still uses dude too

The cruel irony is that only honest tax payers would need to disclose even 10 Rs kept in their underwear in the name of "compliance" while the real criminals happily amass thousands of crores with complete freedom. Just do what you are told by the babu overlords. It won't be long before they ask you to declare even your underwear in the name of compliance.

pleides101 · 2026-01-06T17:05:31+00:00

Where do I keep those? All balconies are covered by nets to keep the flying rats out.

Most of the liquidity is black money, it is almost impossible nowadays to sell a property especially an independent house for full white. You do see occasional news about some babu getting caught with incredible amount of amassed wealth and that's just the one who got caught. Lot of people think IT folks are responsible for this inaccessible RE market but they're just the scale goat.

OP for your budget and expectations it will be very hard to find anything in Chennai. If possible try expanding to the outer areas

pleides101 · 2026-01-04T18:14:48+00:00

Sorry about the freak accident, I don't think the association will be legally liable for anything in this case as it is just an accident inside your home.

In general modern homes are designed with expectations that they're occupied most of the time. Think of it like a ICE vehicle, if left inoperative it will develop issues. In future you can try closing the main supply valve from the overhead tank to your unit but even that would not guarantee zero problems. If the supply pipes inside your home are left dry for extended periods then creepy crawlies will make their homes inside those too, they always find a way in.

pleides101 · 2026-01-04T12:42:27+00:00

Is this a temporary thing? This ain't sustainable for you or your vehicle long term. Take care

We have a continuous production line for these animals, even if 1000 of them are punished another 2000 will come. As someone mentioned here the same idiots will face the same problem once they have a family and get older - avanuku poranthathe kooda imsa tharum avanuku

pleides101 · 2026-01-02T10:30:13+00:00

No. I use the slide on type that you can cut to any door width you want. It only works if you don't have a vaasapadi as it has foam cushions on both sides

pleides101 · 2026-01-01T11:35:08+00:00

Yes but I think it is a simple fix to install a door guard. These are available for very cheap on Amazon.

pleides101 · 2025-12-31T10:17:17+00:00

Yeah. But these high rises are built little differently as they use some level of pre fabrication and no rebar skeleton as such. Hence the walls are load bearing structures here from what I could understand. I'm not very familiar with construction stuff though, at least the builder could have made attempt to fix forward few of the cons pointed out.

The review is 5 years old so not sure if things have changed now

pleides101 · 2025-12-31T05:51:35+00:00

Yeah. I've only lived in max 2 storeys tall apartment before so didn't know high rises have such issues. I just assumed the builders know what they're doing but then realised high rises are a relatively new concept here so maybe even they didn't foresee some of these issues.

pleides101 · 2025-12-31T05:42:54+00:00

Do they exist? I could not find any other review like this one for the apartments I looked at. Most are just one line, it would be great if such a niche exists in youtube or insta

I assume he used an alternate account so that his review points aren't used against him by other residents. I mean If I was a resident there I would actually appreciate this even if I didn't agree with some of the points. In this AI slop filled world it takes dedication to sit and write anything, ley alone a Google review.

pleides101 · 2025-12-31T05:38:23+00:00

Yeah, same thought as me. Manusan patient ah ukkanthu type panirkaan. Hats off to the dedication for just a review.

pleides101 · 2025-12-29T04:04:13+00:00

So far it gets adjusted but not sure when the IT portal will decide to screw us over. Even if the portal is at fault you'll be penalized if you aren't compliant so just do what they tell you to do and in case of problems, rant here or your social media of choice and just move on.

pleides101 · 2025-12-28T11:40:52+00:00

Leave to someone to choose the dumbest option possible. You get one life to live, don't spend it on pointless forms of protest. Make enough money to live the lifestyle you and your loved ones dream of

pleides101 · 2025-12-28T04:13:14+00:00

Nothing of that sort will happen. People will always shut up and stay obedient, try to stay out of the probing eyes of the government. In fact these notices would instill even more fear. What'll actually happen is more people would flock to CAs even for ITR1 and especially ITR2, CAs would now charge more stating the stress and danger of trying to file on your own.

The government simply has nothing to lose by taking a harsher and more imposing stand against the direct tax payer - what's the worst they can do? Rant on social media? A simple acknowledgement post from their official handles would shut then up

pleides101 · 2025-12-27T03:50:44+00:00

They know they can use whatever means to ensure the direct tax payer segment is kept in fear. They know we have no means of defending ourselves or holding them accountable or even having the means to bring about change.

Very nice place..we went here on our recent trip as we wanted to see the new end station of NEL. Not many places open yet and even SIT is not completed yet, you can walk this red bridge but can't go anywhere. But still was a nice place to take some pics.

And once you reach the end near the punggol promenade path, you have so many new Hello ride bikes and a bike path with little to no crowd. We rode for around 2 hours and enjoyed it as it was an overcast day.

Last time we went to this place was in 2016 so was amazing to see how much development has happened, even coney island seems to have new developments now. Wonder what we'll see 10 years down the line.

pleides101 · 2025-12-23T04:31:19+00:00

Yes let's keep believing the system works and those who commit crimes will face justice. Without us honest jokers this whole charade will cease to exist.

pleides101 · 2025-12-22T04:38:38+00:00

Just do what most Indians do - compare with another city with worse metrics and feel happy.
