@UpdatesChennai When we have the highest ATF tariffs(29%) in the country and redirect that money to welfare schemes like “thaai maaman moothiram” scheme, airlines will only shift to other hubs.

Another reason for Chennai becoming a feeder airport to BLR and HYD.

[Giri @giridh]

@UpdatesChennai Vidunga boss - people only want socialism - don’t want us to compete with global cities like Singapore.

Let’s admit MAA as a feeder airport to BLR. Let’s enjoy 080 lounge every time we transit through BLR.

@georgeviews @CTR_Nirmalkumar So how can you land and take off A380s?

Can we acquire land in Pallavaram / Pammal / Kolapakkam / Manapakkam, raze all buildings and expand?

We are caught up in useless socialistic path. God alone can save TN.

@chennaicorp When are we going fine people who litter like this?

[Giri @giridh]

@SaiManik @svembu True! But in my state - TN - the QOL is good in villages with decent facilities. We have good roads, hospitals and schools, and people earn thru other sources apart from agricultural income. Of course need to increase PCI.

QOL is bad in Chennai compared to my village.

@UpdatesChennai Just got introduced in April and too soon they are pulling it off.

We had Air Astral before Covid.

Now no direct flights - can’t visit for a vacation any time soon then.

@datta_arvind @Vivek_Investor We need it everywhere in our cities.

[Giri @giridh]

@UpdatesChennai Welcome move.

But need punishment for violations. Public fined for littering + officers fined for not acting etc are required.

[Giri @giridh]

@UpdatesChennai @CMOTamilnadu @TVKVijayHQ Perhaps good waste management can give good number of jobs.

We need more sanitary workers, workers who lay good footpaths, workers who manage parks better, than more white collar Govt officers.

@Frankisalegend1 Last weekend went to a Murugan temple outside of Chennai. There was filth all around including the queue complex.

Was wondering if people can’t even respect a temple zone, how on earth we are going to get better.

That way I see Mosques and Churches at least are much cleaner.

@Poan__Sapdi I paid 25k for 3 Swiss traffic violations in 2023. I don’t recollect the process to challenge the fine. I recollect they providing the locations of violations. Couple of them were at the same place and I didn’t remember making any mistake.

I ended up paying the fine online.

@cvkrishnan @learning_pt IT engineer’s sunset days are Doctor’s sunrise days!

I feel better for IT engineers - for living a better life in their go-go years.

@saranstm Yes! Stark contrast from South Asian Muslims.

In fact was surprised to see a room dedicated to Lord Shiva in Sultan Palace in Jogja with the Sultan being considered as Lord Shiva.

Btw, you can observe Nandi not facing Shiva!

[Giri @giridh]

@saranstm Just back to India after visiting Jogja, Mt Bromo and Bali.

Wish you had posted these details couple of weeks so could have observed more closely. 😊

[Giri @giridh]

@saranstm Thoroughly enjoyed visiting the temples and the country!

And Indonesians are very proud of their legacy.

[Giri @giridh]

@Vivek_Investor Better - why not retain the policy of dynamic fuel pricing done by UPA?

It was no mean achievement, by then Govt, given the sensitivity around prices.

One of the few blunders by NDA to revoke that.

[Giri @giridh]

@shyamsek @contliving As they say India disappoints both optimists and pessimists. Pendulum has swung towards pessimism.

Just a matter of time it starts to swing towards other side.

[Giri @giridh]

@okaythenfuture 💯 I say this to anyone who wants to move to US. Life in being top 1% of Chennai >> being in top 10% of NYC.

Exceptions- top end research or hi tech jobs or moving to higher echelon of the society.
