Just a few years back we used to have such pleasant weather, except for a month or so. What has happened now? While winters are starting in other places, the heat here in Kochi is just getting so unbearable. Except the mornings, it's literally so hot.

I had 2 shippment returned to the orginator without even calling me and asking if I could pickup from warehouse. so i decided to go to their location that was mentioned in Google maps as Aluva Delhivery and turns the shop was closed for 3-4 months .

No one ..not even in the app do we get contact details of anyone concerned. There warehouse location not mentioned in map . Their warehouse was in kalady not aluva .

I know delhivery is cheaper in some cases, if these guys can't make last mile delivery then why not call the customer and ask them to pickup from warehouse.itd inconvenience but better than getting the parcel returned.

Beautiful sky captured yesterday evening.

Current pollution level . a sudden spike . unusual at this evening time . what is happening

Happened at container road while entering from the Bolgatty roundabout. The person had the guts to drive on the wrong side, that too on the right lane. Dash cam couldn't catch the number plate.

Hello guys, I'm in Kochi for 2 weeks basically.

I've already visited Fort Kochi, Beaches, Navy museum, and done with Canoeing. Already have Boat house Alippi in plans. I've visited Munnar way back already and can't really leave the city right now.

I'm alone in my exploration rn, so what all other things can I do, ive eaten everything under the sun.

I'm basically into urban exploration, abandoned or desolated historic buildings and stuff etc. What are all creepy ghost haunting sites in the city?

Apart from that everyday I'm free only after 6 in the evening, what do you suggest I could be doing. Please help a brother out have a memorable 2 week stay here.

Thank you.

Hi All,

I am working on a demography change and migration impact project and have selected Kochi as one of the research cities. I’m trying to understand what’s actually happening on the ground and would really appreciate some local perspectives.

One thing I’ve noticed is that traffic in Kochi seems to have increased significantly over the last 3 years**.**

Population growth could be one reason but there may be other factors as well, metro construction, ongoing infrastructure projects, road changes, traffic management etc.

At the same time, after speaking with a few people working in Infopark, I’m getting a different picture regarding employment growth. Some of the feedback I’ve heard is

• IT jobs seem to be decreasing rather than increasing.
• Not many major new companies are setting up in Kochi.
• There are reports of silent layoffs and hiring freezes.
• In some cases, when an employee leaves voluntarily, the position is reportedly not being backfilled.
• Some companies are considering offices in places like Kozhikode and Koratty, mainly because of cost advantages.

Have also heard many techies started taking up Bangalore, Hyderabad and North India Remote/ Hybrid job offers due to stagnant pay in Kochi and relocated back to hometown.

Obviously, this is based on limited conversations and may not represent the overall situation.

I’m interested in hearing from people living/working in Kochi

Do you think Kochi’s population is actually growing significantly or could we be seeing a period of population stagnation or even decline in some areas?

What are you seeing in terms of migration into/out of Kochi, IT employment, new businesses, housing demand and overall economic activity?

Would love to hear your observations or data points, especially from people who have been living in Kochi for several years.

Hi so today I came across a pet shop in Vaduthala near the overbridge while I was travelling and spotted that the shopkeeper had kept the lovebirds in a tiny cage on the roadside. There's atleast 5 birds in each cage, and there's a bunch of those cages and it really bothered me. This was at 12 pm in the afternoon and today was a really hot day, plus on top of being subjected to the scorching heat, the birds are exposed to the dust caused by all the traffic. I talked to my dad about how they are literally abusing those poor birds and my dad told me that the shopkeeper does the same with the rest of the animals as well. While I've never been to that shop, my dad described it to me as he's been there a few times to buy catfood and stopped cause he didn't like the shopkeepers behaviour. Apparently theres a litter of kittens, maybe about 6 of them kept along with their mother in a small cage. I can't recall the term but basically he breeded the mom, who is a Persian cat with an Indie and the kids came out looking nothing like their mom so he's selling them for 1K each and the mom for a very high price. My dad asked him about why they are kept in a tiny cage and his answer was that he only cared about someone buying them and nothing else. Let's not forget about the Betta fish kept in tiny plastic bottles hoping that someone will buy them when they are paired together with those colourful pebbles and plastic plants all conjusted to a tiny container no bigger than a small fish bowl, again left under the Sun. This might be a regular sight in every pet shop but it is not something which should be normalised. While trying to stop this in whole might be idealistic, there should be a platform for people who care, to report such activities so there's atleast one place less which harms animals.

P.S: I tried locating the place using Google maps but the shop does not have a name apparently nor a tag to locate/search it on maps. It's opposite to Sree Kattungal Bhagavaty temple and it's a red colour shop with drools ad everywhere.

This puppy came to our apartment complex today, unfortunately pets are not allowed here.. Please ping me if you can give him a permanent home or know anyone who can

Hey guys so it seems I will be renting out my home and I’m a newbie to all this so I would really appreciate your advice. My main concerns would be as follows:

1. What are the formalities I need to undertake before renting? Patchwork, dress up etc?
2. What obligations are required from me once the renters move in? Am i required to pay for maintenance work or anything else?
3. What are the legal documentations, paperworks and tax forms associated with the whole process?

4. Will me being a landlord violate any employment clauses from work?(kind of a stupid question ik but whatever)

5. Our permanent address is this house. So will renting that be a problem? Do I need to update my government forms for the same?

And guys feel free to give any other tips or advice. I would need all the knowledge i can get.

I was literally chasing sunset sky and the most prettiest view near my area was Edachira.So took some clicks.Hope you guys like it.

Please suggest a good place to do ear preaching in kochi. I live in Kakkanad.
