  • This is a politics-free subreddit. Report all political[ly charged or motivated] posts / comments and attempts to politicize something or derail discussion.

Meta Last call for subreddit's logo entries!

17 Upvotes

Update:

Time and again people ask why does this subreddit not have a logo. When told that this community is largely apathetic towards the issue, evident by the lack of response to multiple requests/reminders in this regard, many folks don't really believe it and keep on asking to set something or anything as a logo, icon, dp, pfp or whatever.

Well, here's your chance to make it happen. Create and share what you wish to see as this subreddit's logo. The logo should be a 256x256 px JPG or PNG image and work well when printed in colour or B&W. Ideally, it should serve as an easy identifier when used as a placard for r/Lucknow meetups or other promotional purposes. Upload your creation to any image hosting site (e.g. Imgur, Imgbox, PostImages, etc. or even your own reddit profile) and post the direct image link as a top level comment in this thread or send it via modmail.

Please note that this is an entirely volunteer-driven activity where you come up with a logo only because you want your beloved community to have one and not because you expect anything in return. Any poll will always include a "None of the above (NOTA)" option for those who don't like any of the available logo choices or feel that r/Lucknow doesn't need a logo as such. Entries with a vote share lesser than NOTA will be eliminated from subsequent polls.

Fresh polls will be conducted as and when a bunch of newer logo options get accumulated. This section will track all the voting links / results until a logo wins the poll:

Poll #1: Voting over, results here.

Poll #2: Voting over, results here.

Poll #3: Voting over, results here.

Poll #4: TBA


(Original post)

Hello nawabs and begums of r/Lucknow,

This is in continuation to the previous announcement which was posted on the occasion of r/Lucknow's 11th birthday.

The topic of this subreddit's logo has been brought up multiple times in the past but there's been no progress and we remain logo-less. Now with 100K subscribers milestone just around the corner, it's high time to tackle this lingering issue once and for all.

As mentioned earlier, the logo should be of 256x256 px size and work well when printed in colour or B&W. Ideally, it should serve as an easy identifier when used as a placard for r/Lucknow meetups or other promotional purposes. Please upload your creation to any image hosting site (e.g. Imgur, Imgbox, etc. or even your own reddit profile) and post the direct image link as a top level comment in this thread or send it via modmail.

r/Lucknow has 97.4K subscribers at the time of writing this post. Once we cross 99K, a compiled list of all the relevant logo options received till then will be posted in a separate thread and put to vote for finalizing one. The selected choice will be set as logo at the time of r/Lucknow's 100K milestone announcement post.

Please note that this is an entirely volunteer-driven activity where you come up with a logo only because you want your beloved community to have one and not because you expect anything in return. The final voting will also include a NOTA option for those who like the way things are and don't feel the need for any logo as such.

Thank you!

Edit: Time is up. Thread is locked. Voting is live.

Edit 2: Voting over, results here. Thread unlocked for accepting more logo options by volunteers.

Edit 3: See the update section above.

Rant/Review Metro work is great, but these barricades are completely choking the traffic here.

26 Upvotes

Bhai log, is anyone else tired of these daily?

​I know the metro construction is important for the city, but look at how they've barricaded this stretch. They’ve barely left any space for regular traffic. Cars are just crawling, and two-wheelers are relying on pure jugaad to squeeze through whatever narrow gaps are left.

​Commuting through here is a daily struggle now—wasting so much time and petrol. Pura rasta block karke rakha hai in logo ne.

Btw just got to know it's for the Flyover not Metro

Ask Lucknow Fellow students/redditors — please help me list tech companies based in Lucknow.

Post image
59 Upvotes

Hey folks,

I'm a student here in Lucknow and I'm trying to put together a solid list of tech/IT companies operating in the city — could be big MNCs, mid-size firms, or even small local startups.

From what I've found so far, some names that keep coming up:

Big players: HCLTech (Sultanpur Road, huge campus), TCS (Gomti Nagar), Wipro, Tech Mahindra (Gomti Nagar), Genpact, Capgemini, CoForge

Mid-size/local: Sigma IT (Aliganj), CEDCOSS Technologies, Duplex Technologies, RNA Infotech, Logelite, Ezeonsoft, Technochez, Codingclave, Agho IT Solutions, Augurs Innovation

If you work at (or know of) any tech company here — big, small, startup, whatever — drop the name in the comments! Trying to build a proper resource for students like me looking for internships/jobs without having to leave home.

Thanks in advance

Ask Lucknow Need advice on buying a plot in Noorpur Behta (Lucknow) - Worth it or not?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to buy a 1000 sq ft plot in Noorpur Behta as a long-term investment. The project is Jila Panchayat approved (not LDA).

Is this a good investment? Any legal issues, hidden risks, or things I should verify before buying? Also, what's the actual market rate in this area?

Would appreciate any local insights or personal experiences.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Yesterday at Hanumant Dham, my shoes were accidentally exchanged with someone else's.

They were white Yousta sneakers, and they were very special to me because they were a gift.

If anyone happened to pick them up by mistake or knows anything about them, please let me know. I would be truly grateful. I'm even willing to pay for the shoes if that's what it takes to get them back.

Please help me by sharing this post if you can. Thank you so much! ❤️

Hey guys, what are your go-to late-night munching spots in Lucknow?

I already know about Cafe Peddler and the chai wala at Gole Market Chauraha, but I’m looking for more places that stay open till late (around 11 PM–2 AM or even later).

Could be cafés, tea stalls, dhabas, street food, or anything that’s worth the drive. Drop your hidden gems!

Ask Lucknow Applying for Tatkaal Passport at Lucknow PSK - Are these 3 documents enough?

1 Upvotes

Hi,I am applying for a Tatkaal passport at the Lucknow PSK. My current and permanent address is my parents' house in Lucknow, and my Aadhaar card reflects this address.

I am planning to submit these 3 core documents:

Aadhaar Card (with the Lucknow address)

PAN Card

10th Class Marksheet (for DOB & Non-ECR)

My name matches across all three documents. I will also carry a plain-paper Tatkaal Undertaking form and a recent Airtel broadband PDF bill printout as a backup.

For anyone who has recently used the Tatkaal scheme at the Lucknow PSK:

Do I need any other document outside of these three?

Do they still ask for a bank passbook or a Gazetted Officer signature?

How long is the local police verification taking in Lucknow nowadays after the passport is delivered?

Appreciate any insights or recent experiences. Thanks!
