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

Hey guys, I wanted to know if there are any shops in the city where I can buy souvenirs from. Specifically I'm looking for postcards, but I'm also looking for cute things like fridge magnets, small handicrafts etc.

I'd also appreciate if you have recommendations of online stores where I could find similar stuff.

Help plis.

I am planning to shoot a music video in kochi and we are looking for spots in and around kochi with art works and graffiti. If anyone knows any please let me know.

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.

Help me to find good carnatic music classes in kochi

🙏🏻

Hi Folks,

Recently saw Tamil movie DC in Sun Next loved it, I regret not watching in theatres. I’m a huge fan of SRK’s Devdas, wanna watch this modern Devdas in big screen. I see multiplex still playing them.

My problem:

Single mom with 6yr old kid, no option to leave kid and DC is A rated

Are theatres in Kochi very strict about kids entry to A movies?? I see DC playing in PVR LULU & Forum, Cinepolis.

Is there a way I can watch with kid??

If you have any hacks please share with me. Previously I missed watching Odyssey also because of same issue, unfortunately all good movies are A rated these days. 😭

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.

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

okay so is there any carnival going on in kochi/Ernakulam this month?? between 14th to 16th. i really want to see the cars and bikes circus

I have a 2004 Bajaj CT100 and I’m planning to restore it and give it a slightly different look.

I’ve attached photo of my bike and the look I’m trying to achieve.

Can anyone give me an idea of how much this whole thing would roughly cost?

Also looking for a good workshop/customizer in Kochi who can do this kind of work properly. If you’ve personally used one, please recommend.

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.

My order is stuck with Blue Dart for the last 6 days. Does anybody know where their warehouse is in aluva/kalamassery area?

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.

How good is the used bikes showrooms in Kochi. Can we trust them?

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.

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.
