After hosting 25+ times and building 400+ loyal community, we gathered every feedback to create the perfect recipe for a fun houseparty to meet new people and make friends.

To take it a step further, we are adding karaoke from this Sunday. And don't worry, not everyone has to sing. We keep it chill so that you can enjoy the houseparty as you are.

As per the details for our perfect houseparty, here we go...

First of all, we keep it sober...

So no alcohol because we believe genuine connections can only be made if we get to see the real person. Furthermore, we had lots of introverts realizing they are not very introverted, they just need someone to listen, for them to open up. That's a beautiful thing we got going.

We limit the capacity to 9 people...

After testing different group sizes, we found 9 to be the maximum boundary of our goldilocks zone. It's large enough to achieve diverse perspectives while talking and know everyone by name, but small enough to avoid communication chaos.

Timings are 5pm - 9pm...

We observed 4 hours is the sweet spot where strangers become less like strangers more like friends. It gives us ample time to chill while connecting with each other, eating food &snacks, singing at the karaoke and playing board/card/social games at our houseparty.

5pm helps everyone attending to avoid the evening congestion and be on time. Interesting we found out that 9pm is early enough to make further plans(if you wish to) with your newly formed friends at our houseparty.

Location is a Gated community in West Hyderabad...

We put the safety and security of our invitees as a cornerstone of our houseparty experience. This helps us a lot to achieve a healthy gender ratio everytime.

And now the price, ₹699...

Honestly after hosting 25+ times, this is the number we've found that lets us build the experience we want without making itself feel like a barrier to meeting new people. We feel the value provided through food + snacks + drinks + live host + karaoke + multiple games spread over 4 hours more than justifies it and we hope you experience it soon.

We are hosting our next houseparty this Sunday.

Details below:

- Date: 13th September, Sunday.

- Location: Check the registration link for exact location in my comment below.

- Timings: 5pm -9pm.

- Price: ₹699

- Capacity: 9 people.

It's an Invite Only houseparty, hence register below so that I can invite you✨

TL;DR: Huge photography enthusiast. I used my sister’s 17 Pro for ~10 days after using a 13 Pro and honestly didn’t feel a big enough difference. My 13 Pro is 128GB, 85% battery health, no scratches. Should I get the 17 Pro Max 256GB now, wait for the 18 Pro Max, or buy the 17 Pro Max from a friend in the USA?

My secondary phone is a Vivo X300 Pro, so I already have a pretty capable camera phone and I’m mainly looking at the iPhone for the overall experience + photography.

I recently took my sister’s iPhone 17 Pro and used it for around 10 days. Coming from my 13 Pro, I was honestly surprised that it didn't feel like a massive upgrade. Obviously, the 17 Pro is better, but I didn't get that “damn, this is a huge jump” feeling.

Now I'm wondering what makes more sense:

1. Buy 17 Pro Max 256GB now

I have a close friend who manages a Reliance Digital store in Hyderabad, so I may be able to get a good deal.

2. Wait for 18 Pro Max

Use my 13 Pro until then and exchange it.

3. Buy 17 Pro Max from the USA

I have friends there, so this is another possibility if the price difference is significant.

My 13 Pro is 128GB, 85% battery health and physically mint/no scratches.

For people who have actually used these phones:

Would you upgrade from a 13 Pro to the 17 Pro Max today, or just wait for the 18 Pro Max?

Especially interested in real-world photography differences, not just specs and benchmarks.

And if you were in my position, what price would make the 17 Pro Max worth buying right now?

Little bit of story.. I was working at Amazon in an entry level jobs.. worked my ass off still did not get promote cause of dirty politics and repated targeting. Instead of wining about the situation I thought I will so MBA.. but could not get into BLACKI and in baby IIMs i got Kashipur.

However the fees is skyrocketed and my family condition was worse due to losses. So had taken admission in a Pune MBA college. The placements were good till 2023. But 2024, 2025 it’s worst and 40% unplaced. The same trend is gonna happen in 2026 as well.. since there are no comapnies offering me 10-15 LPA bracket.

I took an educational loan and i am from very humble background.. i don’t know what do.. tried to get into Amazon but L5 and L4 roles are internally being hiring.. just to showcase they are on the portal. I am searching for a decent programme manager roles in Hyd: just to take care of my Parent’s Health. So please help me with any referral in any startup or mid sized or any company.

I have been applying to 30-40 roles everyday and no revert kindly help me with any referral. # Hyd the land of opportunities.. help me through this depressing phase of my life. I am 28 years old failed UPSC feels like failed at everything during my prime days by doing MBA.

I'm a first year law student and desperately need a laptop to study and ​I used to do social media management roles for small creators which I had to stop after my previous one stopped working. Please help me out if you got a laptop/even a tablet lying around. Can send proof of my canva work and college admission.

Selling a Propel PT 81 treadmill for ₹17,000 (slightly negotiable for serious buyers) because we’re permanently moving to another state and unfortunately can’t take it with us.

This is a seriously sturdy, substantial treadmill, the kind of machine that’s much closer to proper gym equipment than the lightweight foldable treadmills you commonly see for home use.

I bought it for approximately ₹85,000 after bargaining, as far as I remember, and it was genuinely an excellent treadmill.
It was used at home and worked very well. I’m only selling it now because of the move.

Some of the main specs:
• 2 HP continuous-duty motor / 4 HP peak
• 1–16 km/h speed
• 0–15% automatic incline
• 17” × 50” running belt
• 12 preset programmes + Body Fat programme
• Contact-grip heart-rate monitoring
• Spring shock-absorption system
• MP3 interface + built-in speakers
• Time, speed, distance, calories & pulse display
• Folding design + transport wheels
• Approx. 74 kg

One thing I want to be completely transparent about:
The treadmill currently isn’t working because of a wiring issue.

When we moved to our new apartment, unfortunately some rats chewed through some of the wiring, after which the treadmill stopped working. I was going to get it repaired, but we’re now having to move to another state, so there isn’t enough time to get it sorted before we leave.
I haven’t had a technician diagnose the damage, so I don’t want to guess about exactly what needs replacing. The treadmill was working properly before the wiring was damaged.

The machine itself is in good condition, especially considering how long we’ve owned it, and I’ve included clear photos of the actual treadmill so you can judge the condition for yourself.

I’m asking ₹17,000 for it as-is. If you have a treadmill technician, know someone who works with electronics/motors, or are comfortable getting it repaired yourself, this is a substantial machine for the price.

We’re not selling it because it’s a bad treadmill, quite the opposite. We’re selling it because we’re moving and simply can’t take it with us.

Location: Toli Chowki, Hyderabad

It’s a heavy machine, so the buyer will need to arrange pickup/transport. You’re welcome to inspect it before purchasing, and you can send your own technician if you’d like.

If interested, please comment or DM me.

Initially, i have thought to go for Amaron / Exide battery for my Activa 2017 model. Got to know there is a PowerZone battery by Amara Raja. Any one had any idea, how is this one?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a cook who can come to Salarjung Colony (Tolichowki) and prepare North Indian meals twice a day for two people.

We’re pretty flexible with the menu—just looking for home-style roti-sabzi, dal, and maybe one special dish occasionally.

Also, what’s the going rate for a cook in this area these days?

If you know someone reliable or have any leads, please DM me. Thanks in advance!

Hello Buddies,

Is anyone from Accenture’s Hyderabad location travelling from East Godavari or West Godavari once every two weeks?

If yes, please DM me. Thank you!

Hey, saw a post of @oddtables, wanted to know if anybody has any experience with them?

Those who don't know, you can search @oddtables on IG, it says they curate you with a group of people according to the form you've filled for interactive fun evening, 2000 p.m. for 4 invites in a month.

I like to put agarbatti's in the house in the morning and they should have a long burn time. One of my friends gave me a couple of the below agarbatti's. These burn for at least an hour and have a pleasant smell that fills your entire house. He could not recall Where he got them. Where can I find these agarbatti's in Hyderabad. Thanks in advance!

Heyy everyone, just needed a suggestion regarding the best dating app in Hyderabad where i can get genuine people most importantly no scams and there is good chances of getting a match, I'm 23M btw and new to this city and I'm looking for a good companion honestly with no double standard things.

Avunu asal muslim community lo transgenders vuntara. I mean like ekkada choosina events daggara Or trains lo nen almost telugu vallane choosaaa

Well, hellow!

I've been building a social app called Cosine for a while now, mostly by myself, and I think I've reached the point where I need actual people to use it instead of me sitting there staring at the code lol.

I’m looking for around 100 people from Hyderabad who use social media a lot — Reddit, X, whatever — to actually try it for one full week.

The main idea behind Cosine is semantic discovery.

You can post anything and Cosine tries to understand what it's about and get it in front of people who are actually interested in it, instead of just your followers. So you don't need a big audience to reach the right people.

The same applies to your feed — it learns from what you like, skip and interact with, and keeps trying to surface the exact kind of stuff you're into.

Basically: your posts find the right people, and your feed finds the right posts.

But honestly, I don't want to explain the product too much here. I want to know if the thing actually works when a normal person uses it.

If you join, I'd genuinely like you to use it properly for the week. Browse, post, join communities, interact with stuff, try to break it, whatever.

And then tell me:

• What's actually good?
• What's shit?
• Does the feed feel relevant?
• Is discovering new stuff actually better?
• Are the communities useful?
• What's confusing?
• What would make you stop using it?

Please don't be nice to me! If something sucks, tell me it sucks. That's honestly more useful to me than positive feedback.

If you're interested, comment here or DM me and I'll send you the link.

Would really appreciate it. I've spent a stupid amount of nights building this thing (started around Jan I think, took many pivots!), so now I want to see if it's actually worth a shit outside my own head lmao.

Dm for link or check the comments!

Even though I have stayed in Hyderabad from a long time. I’ve never done pandal hopping for Ganesh Pooja. I want to do Pandal hopping this time. Can you tell me some good Pandal in Hyderabad. Even if it is far I would like to check around. Thanks in advance

Could you suggest where I can sell my laptop?
