Yesterday, I mentioned how young women from other states working in a footwear shop in Chennai earn around ₹35,000 to₹40,000 a month, including incentives.
I visit a popular salon chain. My regular hairstylist is from West Bengal and has been living in Chennai for nearly a decade. His wife, also from Bengal, works as a hairstylist in a different chain. The couple has one daughter, who studies in their hometown and stays with her grandparents.
Together, they earn more than ₹1 lakh a month from salaries, incentives, and customer tips. He says he never imagined he could earn this much. Over the years, they have saved around ₹25 lakh, excluding their provident fund.
The salon chains they work for regularly provide training on new products and trends. This continuous upskilling keeps them professionally updated and employable.
He mentioned that although no one in Chennai speaks Hindi, no one has ever treated him badly for being from another state. He is grateful that Chennai has positively transformed his family’s financial trajectory.
There is a huge perception gap between the reality of how welcoming and opportunity rich Chennai is and the false narratives being spread about it.
Former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa was initially against the Metro project. Once she came to power in 2011, her government put the project on hold.
Experts and officials eventually convinced her of its benefits for Chennai. She subsequently went ahead with the project and actively supported its implementation.
In fact, the very last public function she attended was the inauguration of a metro corridor extension.
There is nothing wrong with changing one’s mind.
Flexibility is a strength; rigidity is a weakness
Exposed the 16 hr power cuts under JJ.
Now the new narrative:
“DMK delayed projects started by JJ.”
Fact: The zero dates of those 2007–09 (TNEB data, 2016).
Now let’s make this more interesting,
Let us check the status of the power projects announced by JJ between 2011–16.

I don't trust Election Commission and its SIR; SC's advisory opinion is a setback: Tamil Nadu's Minister for Information Technology, @ptrmadurai

Decoding Bihar Miracle - 1/12
ECI has to tell the nation how it counted 1,77,673 more than the polled votes?
Why did it change the total number of electors twice after announcing the final SIR figure?
Why did the ECI not announce the gross number of votes polled in the state?
After DMK president @mkstalin took oath in 2021, he started referring to the central government as the “Union” government. At that time, BJP Sanghis used to trend Kongu Naadu.
Now the same Coimbatore has been betrayed by the BJP-led Union government. There is complete silence from that Sanghi group.
The Union government rejected Coimbatore metro, stating that the population is below 2 million.
But BJP union government has approved metro rail projects for Agra (1.6 million), Patna (1.7 million) and Bhopal (1.88 million), all with populations less than 2 million. Yet it rejected Coimbatore, which has a higher population, and Madurai, which has a comparable population.
Union BJP government has ignored our Tier II non-state capital cities while approving them for other states, including Agra and Kanpur in UP, Nagpur and Pune in Maharashtra, Indore in MP, and Surat in Gujarat.
The Supreme Court of India’s order on the Karur tragedy case was strange, incomprehensible, and fatally flawed. The two-judge bench’s order, which grants final relief through an ‘interim’ order, fails the test of factuality, of law, and of common sense. Read this editorial, titled “Flawed Order,” in The Hindu of October 15, 2025:

Defend Democracy. Stop Electoral Fraud.
Dr Parakala Prabakar ripped apart the BJP govt and election commission.
Called the BJP govt illegitimate.
Illuminating speech.
He has lit a fire 🔥
Great speech
This is how China trapped America and the rest of the world. Offer the Chinese market in exchange for your market. They know they hold all the cards once that happens.
India did not develop its manufacturing sector and hence can never compete now. It's a loss making deal.
BJP is forcefully shutting down the entire state of Bihar because our snowflake Prime Influencer's feelings were hurt.
If Bihar people still vote for these jokers then I honestly think there is no hope for that state.
I just hope people there are as pissed off as I am.
Switch off your political leanings and watch this. @RahulGandhi
expose of the @ECISVEEP should worry every Indian. If you feel this needs no explanation from the ECI, you are not a believer in democracy. If there can be so many irregularities in just one Assembly segment, imagine the situation across the country. Scary........

BJP' Racism against Tamils in Odisha
Scene 1: VK Pandian officially renaming the Odia dish 'Shakuli Pitha' as Dosa. Because he is a Tamilian.
Scene 2: VK Pandian barging into a Odisha home, chasing the family who were watching Odia channel from the sofa and he then starts watching Tamil news
ஒவ்வொரு தமிழரும் காண வேண்டிய, பகிர வேண்டிய காணொளி.
பாஜக என்பது வெறும் அரசியல் கட்சி மட்டுமல்ல!
தமிழ்நாட்டின் தொன்மைக்கு, பண்பாட்டுக்கு, சுயமரியாதைக்கு எதிரான இயக்கம். பல நூறு ஆண்டுகளாக படையெடுப்புகள் சாதிக்க முடியாத தமிழர் பண்பாட்டு அழிப்பை இப்போது செய்துவிட துடிக்கின்றனர்.
