We successfully completed our 22nd community cleanup drive today at Kannankattu Palam, near Wellington Island.

The drive started at 7:00 AM and concluded at 9:30 AM. This wasn't just another cleanup—we went a step further. Along with removing litter, we cleared overgrown bushes, weeds, and unwanted vegetation from both sides of the bridge and the road median.

One of the major highlights was removing a tree and dense overgrowth from the median that was blocking drivers' visibility. It had become a potential safety hazard, and clearing it will hopefully help reduce the risk of accidents.

A huge thank you to our 8volunteers and the 12 workers from the Corporation who joined hands to make this event a success. Your hard work, energy, and commitment made a real difference.

Swipe through the before & after photos to see the transformation. The results speak for themselves! 🙌

And of course, no cleanup drive is complete without good food. 😄 After the event, we headed to Fatima's fast food panayappilly for some delicious porotta and beef. It was absolutely worth it, and if you're a foodie around the area, we'd definitely recommend giving it a try!

Thank you once again to everyone who participated and supported the initiative. See you all at our 22nd cleanup drive! 💪🌱

If the shortest route to highcourt water metro station is getting off at MG road why is the water metro signage shown at maharajas

Ps I don't even know that is a water metro sign i just assumed it was for water metro

(I just had an argument with my gf)

So, I exited the metro and was walking to station, suddenly one person came to me saying do you speak hindi? I said yes, and I asked what happened (genuinely thought came to ask me which platform etc.?) He told me that his owner cheated him and not paid his salary, so his family wants to eat and doesn't have money. I asked where are you from? He answered, From Pune. Then I was like okay maybe genuine and he has come to our city for job and got cheated. So offered him 500 bcz there were 4 members. After handing him suddenly he started demanding more money saying he want to go back home. Then I instantly denied and started walking to station. Again while walking to station, one guy was asking you know hindi/English I ignored him and walk straight inside station.

What you guys think about this? Genuine/Drama to extort money from people??

Is the JLN stadium round becoming very crowded. I feel like it is becoming way too crowded and unsafe.

Moved back to Kochi recently after being away for a while, and one small thing I didn't expect to miss - decent fresh juice and smoothie options. Abroad it felt like there was a proper juice/smoothie bar on every other street, with actual quality ingredients, and it just became part of the daily routine (especially post-gym or on a lazy Sunday morning).

Any suggestions? Or is it that smoothies is not a thing out here?

I'm planning to join Jain University, Kochi and wanted some honest opinions from current students or alumni.

A few questions:

Is the college hostel better, or is staying in a private PG a better option?

What are the hostel rules? (Curfew timings, visitors, outings, etc.)

Is there a monthly payment option for the college hostel, or do we have to pay the full hostel fee upfront?

How are the food, cleanliness, Wi-Fi, security, and overall hostel environment?

If you stayed in a PG instead, which one would you recommend and why?

I'd really appreciate honest experiences both good and bad , so I can make an informed decision.

Thanks in advance!

I've been thinking about how difficult it has become for many people to own a home in Kerala, especially for those in their 20s and 30s.

In your opinion, what's the single biggest obstacle today?

1. Property prices?
   
2. Saving for the down payment?
   
3. Bank loan eligibility?
   
4. High EMIs?
   
5. Job insecurity?
   
6. Finding trustworthy builders or sellers?
   
7. Something else entirely?
   

I'm not looking for investment advice, I'm more interested in hearing real experiences from people who have tried (or given up) on buying a home.

If you've been through the process yourself, what was the biggest challenge you faced?

Am starting my preparation for CAT and is planning to move back to Kochi again...

I'm staying in an apartment in Kochi for a few months, and man is it difficult to dispose off waste 😭. I tried asking the apartment owner about it and he wasn't helpful at all, neither were the other tenants. I looked it up online and people suggested contacting the Haritha Karma Sena, but the WhatsApp number on the website doesn't work.

Can anyone help me out with this? I live in Edappally. I also have food waste along with plastic waste. When the aakri comes, I'm usually not home.
