Cringing, craving, bingeing, braving... you always have an opinion on what's hot and what's not in your city and we just love to hear it. Besides, there's no better place to satiate that itch to bitch!
I just happened to go to Grand Sweets on 2nd Main Road, Adyar to buy some sweets. While waiting for my order I decided to have a pineapple juice from the juice counter.
