Megathread WEEKEND MEGATHREAD - r/chennaicity

2 Upvotes

Hello Chennai folks,

Welcome to Weekend Megathread!

This is the dedicated space to:

  1. Rant about your boring weekend
  2. Post about events happening in the city that everyone should know
  3. Look for company for a movie, dinner, coffee, or just hangout
  4. Connect with fellow members to make the most of your weekend

A gentle reminder: Please use this thread for weekend rant instead of creating separate posts. This helps keep the sub organized and makes it easy for everyone to find activities in one place.

So, what’s everyone up to this weekend?

– Mod Team

90s nostalgia🍭 not many people cleaning vehicles

14 Upvotes

Earlier almost everyone used to wash and decorate their vehicles as people lived in individual houses and had water and family members and all, but from past years in our flat itself i hardly see 3-4 vehicles decorated for dusshera / vijaya dashmi . Even i stopped deep cleaning at home and just dust it with duster and apply sandanam. For me its like doing regular maintenance and servicing of vehicles more than the one day ritual which maybe could be reminder for people to actually get their vehicles serviced from time to time. if you stopped washing your vehicles what could be reason? same as mine?

Meetups 29F looking for some girlfriends 🥺

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

29F introvert here, looking to make some girlfriends (platonic female friends) to go on coffee dates, hangout, or anything under the sun.

Little bit about me: I have social anxiety and am looking to make a female community for myself. I love coffee and brainrot content. I love to crochet (as you can see from my profile) and want to get more into sporty recreational activities. I enjoy one on one conversations and music.

Amazing listener but can give you delulu advice, i will be the wind beneath your wings (modern family reference) i recently started going out of my comfort zone and am pushing myself to try new things, would love it if you can push me in that direction.

I am hyper independent and love supporting the people i love, and i wish that the women i connect with can resonate the same.

We are all here in the pale blue dot for a short time, lets make the most of it💜

Meetups Chennai people, can someone adopt me into their friend group? 🥲🫂 I could really use some friends right now.

5 Upvotes

Hey guys,iam 22M

Honestly, I'm currently going through one of the loneliest and saddest phases of my life. Somewhere along the way, the people I thought would always be around me have drifted away, and lately, I've been feeling really alone.

I'm trying to move forward with my life, but it's difficult when you don't really have people to talk to, laugh with, or share your day with. 🥲

I'm not looking for anyone to fix my problems or give me a thousand motivational quotes. 😭 I just want some genuine friends who can make me laugh when I'm feeling low, listen when things get difficult, share stupid memes, talk about absolutely nothing, and make ordinary days feel a little less lonely.

Basically, I need people who can listen to my emotional damage and then immediately distract me with the dumbest joke ever.

I'm looking for people around Perungudi or Thiruvanmiyur, Chennai, preferably a friend group that hangs out in real life. We could grab food, go for walks, explore places, or just sit together and talk nonsense.

I'm not the most cheerful person right now, but I promise I'm trying to get through this phase and make some good memories again.

So, if your friend group has one empty seat, please consider this lonely guy's application. 😭🙏

Experience: Overthinking

Current position: Professional loner

Required qualification: Must laugh at terrible jokes 😂

Joining: ASAP 💀

Jokes aside, I'd genuinely appreciate meeting some kind people. If you're nearby and also looking for a friend, my DMs are open. Let's help each other make life a little better. ❤️🫂

AskChennai Anyone up for exploring the newly opened Lulu Hypermarket in Chennai? 👀

• Upvotes

Hey guys!

So, Lulu Hypermarket was finally opened in Chennai, and I’ve been wanting to check it out. The only problem is that all my friends have gone back to their hometowns for the 4-day holiday, and honestly, I’m kinda bored of going everywhere alone. 😂

So I thought, why not ask here? If anyone else is planning to visit Lulu Hypermarket and wouldn’t mind some company, feel free to join me!

We can explore the place, check out the food court, try some snacks, do a little window shopping and have random conversations — just a chill outing with some new people.

You don't have to be a hardcore shopper. Even if you're just bored like me, you're welcome! 😂

If you've any other plans, don't mind to add me up. I don't have any idea to spend the rest 2 days...

A little about me: Just a guy looking to get out of the room, beat the holiday boredom, and meet some new people.

AskChennai Flipkart return pickup mix-up, how to proceed?

3 Upvotes

I ordered a pair of Crocs worth ₹5,000 during a sale on Flipkart, but I received the wrong size. I raised a return request on October 10, and Flipkart initiated the pickup on the same day. However, the pickup kept getting delayed from their end, even though I repeatedly confirmed my availability for pickup through WhatsApp.
Unfortunately, I had to travel yesterday, so I left the package with my neighbour. I also had a Myntra delivery scheduled, which was handled by Ekart. The delivery agent called me to confirm the delivery and mentioned that he had also come for the pickup. My neighbour handed him the Crocs, assuming he was there to collect the return.
Later, when I checked the Flipkart app, the return status still showed “Pickup Pending.” I contacted Flipkart customer support and learned that the assigned pickup partner was supposed to be Shadowfax, not Ekart.
I then contacted Myntra support to see if they could help identify or track the delivery agent, but they said they were unable to help.
Now the product is no longer with me, and Flipkart still shows the return as pending.
Has anyone faced a similar situation? How can I trace the Ekart delivery agent and get Flipkart to acknowledge the return and process my refund? Any advice on how to escalate this would be appreciated.
