Looking for some traveling advice. (Madurai to Rameshwaram)

I am traveling to Madurai for three days and want to do a day trip to Rameshwaram. I was looking at trains, and the only option I found was a passenger train that goes to Rameshwaram in thr morning and starts from there at 6.00PM back to madurai. This is not the best option as I don't want to wait there till the evening.

I wanted to know if there are State run bus services between these two towns and how frequent they are. Looking for some genuine advice.

Looking out for friends in chennai

Hey there, I've posted here several times before. I am 22 years old now and I don't have any friends around the area that I can hang out with. I can't drive to places, so it's really hard for me to do anything.I don't know if these posts are allowed on here, but I just want to make some friends, and have people that I can actually hang out with. Because it's honestly really lonely, and it's getting to the point where i'm depressed because of the lack of social interaction.

Tamil Politician Dressing Culture

Shirt and vella veshti is typically the common dress for Tamil politicians. Sometimes they have cooling glass or hats or shawls but still wear same shirt and veshti. Dravida cadres used to wear black shirts but keep they white veshti.

Kamaraj, Anna, MGR, Karunanidhi, Vijayakanth, Chidambaram, Vaiko, EPS, and Stalin wear this outfit.

I remember someone criticizing Rajini politics stunt for not wearing veshti. He would wear white kurta pyjama making him look like Delhi North Indian leader. They could not take him seriously as Tamil leader if he cannot dress for the part. Looks more like timepass than serious commitment to Tamil politics. Now Vijay, Udayanidhi, and Seeman are wearing trousers instead of veshti.

No more Pechiammas?

I've never seen a 'Pechiammal' of my age, even in my village or neighbouring villages. Is the name dying? What other names do you feel are endangered? I'm pretty sure that Pechiamma is critically endangered.

Sansad TV goes hindi-only for Rajya Sabha

Sansad TV will now exclusively broadcast Rajya Sabha proceedings in Hindi, with interpreted audio for English speeches, following Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar's directives. This change may affect viewers in Northeast and South India.

Sansad TV will only broadcast Rajya Sabha proceedings in Hindi now, with just the interpreter's voice relayed when a member speaks in English. Previously, speeches were televised as spoken. According to sources, the modification was implemented at the instruction of Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar. Due to the many distractions caused by the Adani indictment issue, Dhankhar does practically all of the discussion before adjourning the House. This has resulted in a unique situation in which only the Hindi translation of his words (Dhankhar mostly speaks English) are broadcast. Viewers in the northeast and South India will likewise have issues with all proceedings broadcast in Hindi, whether raw or interpreted

Note: Sansad TV was established in 2021 by combining Rajya Sabha Television and Lok Sabha Television. Rajya Sabha TV was a public cable television network that covered the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha, which is the Upper House of the Indian Parliament.

PAN first name and last name interchange. Should I be concerned?

Not sure if this post is of importance but i see this scenario for most of my friends(particularlyin tamilnadu),so clarifying it.

For context my name is Hari and father name is shankar. So all my government related certificates from aadhar,driving license,marks sheets reads Hari S( initial at last).

On my pan card,it is printed as Hari S as like aadhar card but when i file it returns i notice my name field reads ** Shankar Hari** and i verified the same with verify pan status it also says my name is Shankar Hari in PAN database.

I saw some youtube videos saying this is not correct but persons in net centre say this is how they apply for all customer and they had no issues.

As of now i dont have any issues. But should i be concerned about this scenario . If so what should i do. Auditors or some persons in insurance jobs(others also if you have encountered the scenario )please assist because as i learnt these are the areas where i might get some problems. Hoping for some clarity🙃.

Is there a case filed in TN for the electricity corruption ?

Since Adani has been indicted in the US for allegedly bribing some state governments in India, I believe there is enough evidence to sue the state government for corruption and go through the trial at the very least even if not actually found guilty.

I can understand if congress doesn't want to sue but why the other parties aren't suing especially ADMK ?

How’s your tech job hunt going these days? Let’s talk!

Hey everyone,

I wanted to open up a discussion that’s been on my mind lately—how’s the tech job market treating you? If you’ve been in the game for a while, how does your current job hunt compare to what it was like four or five years ago?

I’m genuinely curious because I’ve been reflecting on my own journey, and things feel… different now. It seems like job descriptions are more specific, the interview processes are longer, and there’s this weird mix of both opportunity and uncertainty in the air.

  • Are you finding it harder or easier to land interviews?
  • Are salaries keeping up with your expectations and skills?
  • How are companies treating candidates these days—any major red flags or positives to share?

Let’s not hold back here. I’d love to hear your raw, unfiltered experiences. Whether you’re thriving, struggling, or just coasting along, share your story.

And hey, if you’ve got tips, lessons, or even just rants about how the market’s changed, let’s hear those too!

Looking forward to reading what you all have to say. Maybe together, we can help each other navigate whatever this job market is turning into.

We should remove the usage of "non-veg" tag from the restaurant boards and in other public places?

https://preview.redd.it/zkzi57m3ls3e1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=02ac59fd8205789ab8e330176d84c182b9669ce5

These are all news snippets in the recent week. Two of the three stories are true, the other I haven't checked yet.

Now coming to the point. There is only vegetarian and rest of us are normal folks who have no restrictions on our food. But still why use this non veg tag everywhere? Can't the govt pass some G.O to stop using this word everywhere. Meat eaters are the majority in our Tamil society yet we see all those non-veg tag everywhere. It is as if the minority vegetarians are tagging as us abnormal.

We all know that vegetarianism in India is linked to ritual(caste) purity most of the time. I know there are other schools of thoughts like Vallalaar etc who emphasized on pulaal unnaamai. But most time its because of the caste that one is a vegetarian. Cos if that's not the case, then we wouldn't be having separate dining areas or separate wash basins for normal people and vegetarian folks, this happens in some of the most premier institutions in our country. I'm not against vegetarianism but I have a problem with propagating that idea to children. Especially when 25% of the children in TN are stunted. This pulaal unnamai made sense to guys like valluvars who did nothing but write poems and hump his wife. Just because its in our literature doesn't mean we should follow it or hold it in high regards.

Not just veg folks, even non veg people, including my own family members look like being a vegetarian as some good trait. This needs to be changed. We aren't progressing until most of population get good nutrition and meat is most readily available source for good nutrition.

How can I turn my anime streaming website project (and its funny failures) into entertaining YouTube content?

I’ve written a script for a video where I share my journey of creating a Tamil dubbed anime streaming website that I ultimately decided not to publish due to ethical concerns around piracy. The video is meant to resonate with Tamil anime fans and highlight the importance of supporting official platforms.

I want the video to have a professional feel, like a mix of storytelling and a documentary-style presentation.

How South Indian State Screwed by CGST

Estimation of GST gained by UP/ Bihar as compared to loss by South India Most people in south India have the vague idea that we are getting screwed by the Central Government in taxes.

This post displays how exactly most rich states are getting destroyed for feeding UP/ Bihar .

What is CGST? These are charged by center on Transactions within the border of the state.

What is SGST? These are taxes on transactions levied by the state govt and go directly to them.

Year 2023-2024

Karnataka (70 million population) CGST : 33000 SGST: 40000

Uttar Pradesh ( 240 million population) CGST : 23000 SGST: 32000

UP is generating less GST than a state which is 3 times less in size .

For a more ridiculous comparison Consider Bihar( 130 million) CGST: 5000 SGST: 8500

Bihar is generating 5 times less GST than Karnataka while having a population 2 times larger Stats for generation of taxes: https://www.indiabudget.gov.in/economicsurvey/doc/stat/tab28.pdf

Now how is the CGST component of taxes distributed mostly according to population

Here's how much CGST these three states got back from Central Pool

Karnataka after contributing 33000 gets back 13500 crores ( 0.40)

UP after contributing 23000 crores gets back 66000 crores ( 3 times increase)

Bihar after contributing 5000 crores gets back 37000 crores .

Stats for distribution of taxes: https://www.indiabudget.gov.in/doc/rec/annex4.pdf

It's also a cause of concern as to why UP + Bihar ( about 360 Million people) are still generating less than Karnataka (70 million people) in GST.

I think if I can get the estimates for income tax generation which is very hard to get cause Central Government hides the data . I can reasonably show a higher discrepancy.
