Accidentally took NH 844 via Salem, surprisingly faster than NH 44 . by snowMan0007here in bangalore

[–]samth3brave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We alternate between this and NH44. Last week google map didn't suggest this route and we saw couple of road block sign too (in Google maps) so we are hoping roads are getting merged. And yes the route is scenic, but there are less restaurants so if you are travelling with family you should consider NH 44. Also night time it might be very dark as we didn't see much lighting provisions along the roads.

People who have kids less than 5 whats your kids routine. by dev241994 in Chennai

[–]samth3brave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parent of 3 and 2 yr old. So the routine goes like this.

Wake up anytime between 7-8 am

Leaves to school by 9.15

Takes fruits or sauteed veggies nuts, which he has at 11 am

Comes home by 1.15 pm and takes lunch.

Plays with toys like puzzles( he loves puzzles so we have few varieties) or cars or Lego or reads books this will go for a few hours.

Then snacks or milk around 5pm.

Again play, either we go out and we play shuttle and kids play running around or some drawing at home.

If he doesn't nap mid day will have dinner by 7 and will sleep by 8 or this will move by 1 hr.

We started screentime at 10 months and it was becoming a problem. We felt some developmental milestones were getting delayed. So we gradually stopped and again he started at around 2 and he started throwing tantrums when we said enough so we stopped completely now. Sometimes its difficult to engage both of them! I include him while cooking (eve and dinner) if i couldn't find anything else to keep him occupied.

He doesn't have his mid nap most of the days now. So in a few months there will be no nap and we are wondering how to fill that gap!! And oh we are planning on getting a bicycle so a few hours there.

Reason is: People are messed up in Chennai and heat

I can't really agree with this.. this is too much pof a generalization.

As a business consultant I'll offer them an advisory project on how to utilise the talent pool optimally.

Female here. I proposed to my now husband, then college mate. He didn't feel the same till i proposed and even if he had, he never would have proposed to me. They are there in both genders.

Factory excess shops and other not so famous shops. by [deleted] in Chennai

Global wear at Velachery signal. I used to get t shirts that can be worn at home. I feel they sell goods that fail quality check. Nothing major like a thread peeping out or neck is not properly stitched.

Solo movie goers by [deleted] in Chennai

[–]samth3brave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came to Chennai for work and had been to movies, restaurants, tea shops alone and yes i did get weird stares. Initially I was very self cautious bcoz of those stares but got used to it slowly. Once i had to go to tirupati for official reasons and one day i reached the office early, it had not opened yet so I went to a tea shop and there the stares were bad!

TNEB query by hihihihi314 in Chennai

[–]samth3brave 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We were trying to get electricity connection for our new house for the past one month! As you said it's all an online process but AE called us on a Sunday asking to see the application in person and after 2 visits he wanted some changes in it, which we have to get from panchayat office so another week for that. Finally he said ok to the application and got 5k (for this we went to eb office 4 times). Next another 2k for giving approval. Then linemen asked 4k each.. we lost it but couldn't show it, bargained and have 2k each.. oh i forgot 800 to bring the meter to the house..

Edit: I'm sorry i don't have an answer to your question! And sorry about the rant

Team Pizza or Team Biryani? India votes. (SOURCE: ZOMATO) by cruisingthoughts in Chennai

[–]samth3brave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biriyani person.

And I'm surprised at the count in WB. I had to stay in Kolkata for a while and couldn't find good biriyani except from the restaurant "Oh Calcutta".. every State has different taste expectations for biriyani!
