Hello sir,
Today the two wheeler market has not only increased but also developed. What I mean to say is that manufacturers have understood the different needs of the public. Yes, 150cc used to be for youth who want speed and style. But now the scenario has changed. By the criteria you have mentioned it is a commuter that you need.
CBZ is a good bike with honda's trusted mill. But there are a some issues. The bike is a little tall, mileage is on the lower side(45 max) and style(personal opinion).
Hunk also shares the same engine and can be used as a commuter. I'm not sure about pillion comfort since it is a sporty bike. Looks really good. Mileage-50(maybe a little more).
P135 is again sporty and good bike but I guess it is specifically desingned to be a street bike for the youth and also the bike is cramped in terms of pillion comfort. Mileage-55+
GS150R is also a good bike and is not much sporty like the others and also proves to be a good commuter. And that extra 6th gear helps the bike to be frugal. Butter smooth engine. Service has been an issue but in chennai I guess it shouldn't be a problem.(Do ask other suzuki customers)
Other options I would suggest are Yamaha SZ-R and Bajaj Boxer 150. SZ-R is a commuter but still mileage is not upto the mark(45 max). Boxer is utterly ugly but will definitely be frugal(60 I guess).
125cc- You can consider Honda Shine(which should not have waiting period), good bike with a smooth engine and enough power to pull two comfortably. Mileage is good I've heard but have no idea about the figures. Only drawback I guess is 4-speed gear box!!!
Discover 125 is good but I would go for 100 rather than the 125. 100 has a better price tag and VFM. Excellent mileage(70+).
Stay away from Suzuki Zeus. Flop product.HH(or Hero
) Super Splendor and Glamour are good too but do not hit the senses in many ways. Say looks!!!
I would suggest you to go for a 150cc as they feel more comfortable and less strained.
PS: Pls mention what mileage you are expecting so that people can help you precisely.

I'm a family man a little over your age & I ride CBR 250R!!! Buy something that you love to ride & needs; not for the sake of family!!!
Its got more refined engine, mileage is 58 to 60, low maintenance cost, 6th gear advantage ! and lot more...Take a test drive and decide. All the best
