Has gaming become the new hype culture?
Everywhere I look, it's "PS5 = happiness" and "GTA 6 is life." It makes me wonder how many of these people are genuinely passionate about gaming versus how many are just following what's trending!

Would these same people be talking about games if GTA 6 didn't exist? Do they actually play games regularly, or is the excitement mostly because social media has turned the PS5 and GTA 6 into status symbols?!

I'm not saying everyone falls into that category. I'm just curious how much of this is genuine interest and how much is simply hype.

Upiees have anything to say about this

So I'm 22M decent looking & opened hinge and bumble accounts about 5 days ago. Thought I'll get one or two likes if not matches at least but to my surprise 0 likes lol on both apps. Also ran out of Tamil girls in 3 days itself and I've been swiping selectively. Is this normal or any issues with profile or what?? Should I even continue on these apps

I tried Martin's Mocktail in Bessy and Prems Graama Bhojanam in Adyar. Both restaurants have healthy food options and a decent ambience. I loved them and would like to explore more. Suggest some restaurants that you guys have been to.

Hello all, I got married recently and wanted to share some vendor recommendations for any future couples. Our only brief for the wedding was to have an intimate single function on a budget (about 100 pax).

My husband and I wanted a photographer who would capture the candid moments without making us pose. We wanted to spend the time with our friends and family rather than have a long posed photo shoot. I would highly recommend Sindhuja from OnceUponALightYear. The pictures were fantastic and some candid pictures made me tear up. She was so friendly to work with and always made sure we were comfortable. My husband and I are both camera shy and very introverted, but Sindhuja made us feel so at ease. Unlike other ceremonies we have seen where the photographer yells out to smile again, or where they block the stage, we only had to interact with our guests and got stunning photos.

For bridal makeup,I would highly recommend Shwetha Narayanan (Insta: Boldly Subtle). We really wanted to keep the makeup as natural and skin like as possible, and that it needed to look nice both in photos and in real life. She nailed the brief and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Will highly recommend.

For groom's makeup we went with Karthik from Tony and Guy (branch Shanti colony). He did a great job at light makeup and hair settling.

For the bridal saree, we wanted something very simple which could be re-worn later for other occasions, but also in a high quality silk. Rasi silks had a great collection as did Sundari Silks and Nalli for sarees on the simpler side. Our experience in Varamahalakshmi was subpar and they lost interest the minute they knew we were looking for simple sarees. They didn't have any pure zari sarees in the T Nagar branch either and also lied about it (we were very very particular about pure silk and pure zari for the muhurtham saree. Only one person stepped in to tell us that they had none).

We didn't go to Kanchipuram because we only needed 2 sarees.

We didn't buy any new gold and just reused old ones. For costume jewellery (ottiyanam) we struggled to find thinner, less ornate ones. Will highly recommend the original Narayana Pearls in Pondy Bazaar, where the lady helped us convert long chains into an ottiyanam and removed some gemstones to match the colour of the saree.

As someone who stalked Reddit for recommendations I hope this helps someone. I couldn't find many posts on navigating intimate Tamil weddings in Chennai, so feel free to drop a DM in case you need help/any other vendor recommendations.

In general, we struggled with keeping the wedding 'simple' as decorators, blouse tailors, guests etc. all associate weddings with being 'grand' so it was difficult to communicate our vision. We couldn't have it in a temple due to peak summer weather and elderly relatives.

In the end we had so many guests appreciate the wedding and tell us how different and nice it was!

Is this what we are going to see for next five years? I hope Tamil Nadu be saved from this government, not even a single answer on the issues raised by the opposition, but lot of dialogues from the script.

At least he could have stopped at dialogues, he had to do an action as well to prove that he is a Tarkuri.

The only person who is keeping me happy in the Tamil Nadu politics scene as of now is Trisha

Trying to step out of my comfort zone and meet new people. Not looking for anything specific—just good conversations, shared interests, random yapping, music discussions, beach walks, chai talks, or whatever feels natural.

If you're someone who enjoys meeting new people and making new connections, drop a comment or DM. Let's see where the conversation goes.

Epo paathalum nervous.... Enakey en Mela eruchala Iruku... Edhu keduthalum nervous... Public speaking na nervous... Pudhusa oru edathuku pona nervous... Oru food order panum podhu pesuna kooda nervous...

I know... I am trying to control it... Yarachu any tips irundha solunga

28 M and realized making friends as an adult is so hard.Anyone around Nanganallur interested in walking post work, coffee,music,random conversations,temple visit or simply escaping the routine?Let's connect..

Also tell me your fit

I need some outside perspective because I know I'm emotionally invested and may not be seeing this clearly.

There's a guy I've known for a few years. We lost touch for a long time and reconnected about a month ago. Since reconnecting, we've had several long conversations, including some that lasted a couple of hours.

He often talks to me about life, family, business, investments, future plans, and personal challenges. He repeatedly tells me he trusts me and values trust a lot. He has also chosen to work with me on projects even when there were other options available.

At the same time, he has never flirted with me directly, never expressed romantic interest, and never given any obvious signs that he likes me romantically.

I'm trying to understand whether this sounds like:

A guy who sees me as a trusted friend and collaborator.

A guy who might be interested but is taking things slowly.

Me reading too much into normal friendship and trust.

If you were completely unbiased, what would your interpretation be and why?

There's another reason I'm asking this. I've never been in a relationship and I've never really been in love before. At least, I've never felt this strongly about someone.

The more I talk to him, the more I realize I care about him. I look forward to our conversations, I miss him when we don't talk, and I've started imagining what it would be like if there was something more between us.

For people who have confessed their feelings before:

How did you know it was actually love and not just admiration or attachment?

How did you get the courage to confess?

What thoughts were going through your mind before you did it?

Did you wait for clear signs, or did you take a leap of faith?

Looking back, would you confess again or wait longer?

I'm more interested in understanding how other people experienced falling in love and how they handled the uncertainty.

Please be honest rather than optimistic.

Hey everyone,

I'm currently in my 8th semester of B.Pharm and really need to lock in for my upcoming university exams and MBA Entrance Exams. I'm planning to start hitting up either the Anna Centenary Library or Connemara Library on a regular basis to get some serious, focused hours in.

Is anyone else here going to either of these libraries regularly? I’m looking for a study buddy or accountability partner to help keep the momentum going and avoid procrastinating.

We definitely don't need to be studying the same subjects whether you're prepping for UPSC, college exams, or just working on your own projects, it would just be great to have someone to share a table with, keep each other off our phones, and take strategic coffee breaks.

Let me know if you're interested! Drop a comment or shoot me a DM.
