I lived in trichy for 2 years but I spent most of my time in hospital only being a doctor . So seen very little places in trichy. Also second year of my stay was covid and lockdown. But really missing trichy. No one told me of chellamal samayal 😅. Will definitely try to visit if I visit trichy again.

I've experienced that South Indian people are more grounded, humble, genuine and educated than rest parts of India. Being a person from East India I've been staying in Bengaluru since 2010 and never faced any inconveniences till date.

He didnt face the arrogance of tamil v/s any other language. But food is definitely next level. Arrogance is dividing the nation. They must improve and work for a unified bharatvarsh. They are the leaders of hindu dharm and now they are the ones failing to protect hinduism.

Not learning Hindi is not arrogant

[@ganeshkoduru899]

​@@MaBharatvarshUnity in diversity is the core principle. We also say we are Indians but most of us respect our culture n our age old ancient southern languages. That's why these languages r still in existence. Hindi is official language for sure but freedom of speech must be respected in terms of language also. Not to impose hindi compulsory.

[@neerajsaxena]

Harish Sir, you never hesitate to try new food items, that's the sign of a true traveler. I am amazed at how many varieties of food items are served in the states of India. The food of Tamil Nadu also is amazing. Medu Wada, Idli, Dosa, and Rasam are my all-time favorite items. Everyone likes to interact with vloggers, and people are always amazed to watch them talking to the camera. India is proud of the Chola kings for their immense gifts to the country in the form of rock-cut temples and other monuments. The restaurant serves traditional Tamil food on earthen pots, that's awesome.

Harish, is maintaining proper hygiene in restaurants truly challenging for owners, or has there become a widespread disregard for hygiene standards? Ensuring the cleanliness of the kitchen and serving clean food doesn't seem like it should be a difficult task. We are regular viewers of your content, and just as you've addressed individuals littering in public spaces, perhaps these concerns could also be highlighted in your work.
