There's a person who dated my friend and said she cannot marry him because they are from different castes. Today, she is married to a man from her own caste and is sharing Arivu and Casteless Collective's Vice video. Mudile.

Chennai is great and all but is also terrible for someone who just wants to sit quietly in a public place without having to talk to someone else. The entire city wears a deserted look post 9 p.m. and it feels ridiculously unsafe. And no one's allowed to sit in beaches past 10 p.m
