As the American abortion laws take over our TL, please know that medical termination of pregnancy act in india allows women to get abortions upto 24 weeks of pregnancy.
So umm get that abortion. HMU if you need support in chennai
So last week my therapist confirmed that I am autistic which has shocked me and most people I know. It has changed the way I now look at life, think about it as having nee glasses to view your past life. That much clarity.
So often divorced women are told things like you know divorce is like kintsugi - you break apparently during divorce and then you join yourselves back with gold paint and become whole and beautiful again. (This was told to me IRL)

I really wish I could believe this we are the last generation to have moms who are this way.
Every week I come across a woman my age who has a baby and an unsupportive husband. A situation she can’t get out of because of lack of funds and gaslighting
Correction: we are the last generation who have moms who were suppressed, infantilized, got dominated, forced to end their careers, did manual labor all day, got no respect no freedom no appreciation for their hardwork, were forced to stay in unhealthy marriages by patriarchy
Divorce anniversary is coming up.
Going to host a party of deliciously single women this time and there will be cake and Bollywood.
(Has to be approved by flatmate)
I don’t have too many Ws to post but bought a car last year and drove it from chennai to Kashmir this year
This one’s for my friend who did 50% of the driving and has become default roommate for the near future
Somedays feel like not being married means I will fall through the cracks of some friend circles where it’s onlycouples
30-something’s who are single, how you all deal?
House hunting in chennai, tips for ladies bachelors:

- Adayar times is your friend
Chennai Twitter, very hesitant to ask this.
But like where the queer chennai women at? Bumble is so dry. So so dry. 1 week main one lone woman appears.
I am very new to this, and trying to learn more about myself and the community, also see if I am part of it.
Going to be absolutely disgusting on social media for birthday.
Not at all sorry. It has taken one pandemic (ongoing), one divorce, one abortion, one resignation, and lots of stress to get here.
2022 has been a beautifully weird year and I will be disgusting about it
I was whole before my divorce, I was whole during it, and I am grown person after it.
It didn’t break me, it broke the flimsy construct that is marriage.
My identity and an identity of any person isn’t just married or single or divorced. It is supposed to be just you
All sabyasachi brides: she wears a vintage red lehenga with gotiwork in silver done by pre pubescent children in the light of the full moon, she wears an uncut diamond of 345 carats inlaid with pearl from oysters shucked on new moon night
All sabyasachi grooms: he wears clothes
I moved to chennai in 2019 on a whim, and since then have been floating about trying to find friends I can call my own. This city has circles that can be difficult to break into.
but this year, I spent christmas eve and day with some amazing people feeling right at home.
have come to the city I dread for a friend's significant life event which isn't a marriage or a baby but is, in fact, her performing on stage after many years of learning contemporary & belly dance
got her a gift, plan to dress up also, please tell about more such life events
Been living at my aunt’s for over a year now, cohabiting about 3 months (we both travel A LOT). As I am finally moving into my own place and updated her that I bought veggies and stocked my fridge, she looked up shocked: “YOU BOUGHT VEGGIES? I need more time”
Me too, me too. 😭
People: where did you grow up?
Me: bombay.
People: where in bombay?
Me: Navi Mumbai
People: that’s not bombay.
When 50 cent comes to Navi Mumbai
People: 50Cent to perform in bombay
😑😑😑
Hello from me and my very full stomach courtesy of the lunch at the farm chennai.
Pork ribs
Smoked roast chicken platter
Roast beef
Christmas fruit cake
Which to me is bizarre because all of these women should be shown enough examples of others who went on to lead great lives without having to get married.
Celebrate re-marriages, yes. But we have to stop shovelling them down the throat of people like they are the only option
Of course I am privileged and am able to voice these things without repercussion, but isn’t this the seed of thought we should be allowing every divorced person (women mostly) to hold and nurture?
A lot of divorce talk on social media here always celebrates second marriage
+
People in chennai when outside of chennai: ugh that city is so incestuous we HAD to leave it
Same People in chennai: only dating and making friends with the same people they went to school and college with
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Going to gift this to everyone when they get married so they know that they can and should walk out.
Just like breakups are normal, so is divorce.
The men won't stop with the hate, cos marriage only benefits them.
Shared TN govt guidelines on crackers as being 6-7am and 7-8pm on insta. And all my Amit friends are DMing asking why morning time. DO PEOPLE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE REST OF THIS COUNTRY?
Other life events been stressing me out so forgot to say that I attended first wedding post divorce and the family didn’t mention it, or ask about my husband.
So yay!
The number of people an ad goes through from conception to our in the world is atleast 50 (if not more) - let’s assume in house marketing and a lean production house.
No one, definitely not the writers and the marketers thought the kachra ad was wrong.

4 years since I went to a bar in Chennai in my first week here and then almost blended in with the wallpaper and one nice photographer fellow came and introduced me to his group of friends
thankful to that nice photographer fellow for being kind to a super social anxious person
Hello! I am a digital marketer with a decade of experience looking for work.

Decathlon in Perungudi has all these swimsuits for clearance because this display has been untouched in over a year because no one in Chennai will buy or wear these

Want to apologise to the world of people I am disappointing by being on a long road trip with a male friend and we are not in any way “involved”.
This is an experiment in the “pyaar dosti hai” era
Going to move out of my airy beautiful flat after 2.5 years and I AM SO DUCKING SAD.
This home has been the first place I’ve lived alone, it has held me during the pandemic, a breakup, loss of pets, many breakdowns.
Will forever love this place and this neighbourhood
I have gotten one of my most beautiful tattoos yet.
I look at it and can’t believe it is on me and not someone else.
Based off a drawing a friend made for me, adapted by the artist to be tattooable
Why this absolute gem of a human must be protected at all costs.
Thank you to madras and Twitter for bringing one bootiful human into my life.
Thanks to her parents and law degree for birth and trauma which gives us an excellent human with an excellent sense of humour
we went to the narrow street. Pleaded with a plastic bommai salesman if i can park the vehicle next to his shop
Went inside the olddddd building complex. Second floor. Rickety lift. People speaking in Tamil and Hindi
Nestled between an optometrist showroom and the wall was this
Very upset we don’t have this in india. I would truly prefer doing this to make lots of money and then live life just studying the various thing I want.
Want to study psych, coding, neurodiversity, sociology
It gives me comfort that I can come home and order from theobroma and end my day like it is 2008.
To all those who say it’s overrated and too sweet, just don’t appreciate the joy of having a baked good that tastes the same across the country
Friends in bangalore went for a recent scam that was a picnic, hosted indoors, where the other met was a foot next to yours and they had to pay for very expensive food.
In chennai we go to the beach for for free.
Really leaning into the tattoos this past year.
This is my 5th in 9 months.
Hit up @ / borderline tattoos on insta people. She is epic and makes you so so comfortable
It is helping me understand my periodic burnout from jobs, why I have to know exactly what will happen, and who will be present so I can mentally prep for conversations.
One of the first things I discussed with my therapist during divorce was community living. Was a great idea then, remains one now.
Have a bunch of single friends I would do this with, now only to find money to buy land
I hear there's some charcha about marrying early and pitying singles in their 30s and 40s? Last I checked groups of Indians are now choosing to age by themselves or with friends and having the best time of their lives.
ok

My bestest bumble match has moved from chennai to Thailand.
We met at the beginning of the pandemic (wasn’t a thing in india yet) which stranded him here.
Met only 6 times over the course of 2 years and we both are the best things to happen to each other then
A very well-meaning friend recently told me that I should approach ADHD assessment with caution, because everyone who goes in for an assessment gets it.
You know why? Because we do our research. That reel/post/meme we saw has sent us spiralling down many rabbit holes.
