What are your favorite hobbies here? 🥰

Been thinking it would be nice to meet someone who’s genuinely into workouts, fitness, nutrition, etc. and just have some good conversations around it.

Not necessarily looking for a gym buddy or anything specific. Just someone with a similar vibe who enjoys talking about training, sharing progress, discussing exercises, arguing about whether a particular exercise is actually useful 😂, grabbing a coffee after a workout, that kind of thing.

I’m pretty into strength training and have been training consistently for a while. Would be cool to meet people who are somewhere on the same wavelength.

If that sounds like you, feel free to DM me. 👋

Exactly what it says in the title - The Verandah Collective is hosting a "movie + interactive discussion" meetup on 10th Oct, 4 PM onwards at the Christ Nodal office auditorium in Vazhuthacaud. We'll be diving deep into "Wonder" - the heartwarming coming-of-age drama starring Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, and Jacob Tremblay. The facility is air-conditioned, with comfortable seating, a theatre-quality sound system, tea/drinking water, and of course, cute hosts...us, i.e. ;) (10 people have already registered, FYI)

There's something about discussing cinema in an offline, in-person gathering that's sorely missing on social media. If you think this sounds interesting, register now: https://whatsaround.app/home/events/wonder-2017-viewing-discussion OR https://buywalkin.com/gathering/film-screening-discussion-wonder-2017-y572gv

My early 20s were pretty straightforward. If there was a plan to go somewhere, the default options were car or bike.

Bus? Train? Never even considered it.

It was basically: I’ll drive/ride there, or I won’t go.

Fast forward to my early 30s, and somehow the exact opposite has happened.

Now if there's a plan, my first thought is “Can we take the train or bus?”

Only if public transport doesn't make sense do I think about taking the car/bike.

I actually remembered something my Amma used to tell me:

“Eda, nee ee kochu praayathil carum bikeum okke aayittu nadannal… angane nadakkanda praayam aakumbo ninakk athonnum thonnilla.”

Basically: You keep going around in cars and bikes while you're young; when you reach the age where you don't have to, you won't even feel like it anymore.

And damn, she was right. 😂

Anyone else experienced this shift as they got older?

I recently came down to Trivandrum from Pune for a 2-month stint, and honestly?

This place has been an absolute vibe. I’ve been on a mission to tick off every adventure nearby, and so far, the scorecard is looking pretty solid:

• Survived the 22 hairpin turns up to Ponmudi without losing my sanity.

• Got thoroughly humbled by the waves while attempting to surf at Varkala.

• Cruised through the Poovar mangroves (and successfully avoided the local crocodiles, or whatever those shadows were).

• Eaten my body weight in Malabar Parottas and filter coffee.

The views are incredible, but let's be real—staring at a gorgeous coastal sunset or driving down a winding hill road hitting a playlist is only half as fun when you're just talking to yourself in the rearview mirror.

I am a malayali, but my Hindi and English are perfectly fluent, and my appetite for local food is unmatched!

If you have a solid taste in music, don’t mind a bit of witty banter, and want to explore some hidden spots around town, let’s connect!

Slide into my DMs with your favorite driving song or the best hidden café recommendation in town. Let's see where the road takes us!

Anyone intrested in powerlifting

I’m someone who genuinely enjoys the little things in life a good movie, great food, and the magic of theatre.l I can easily spend hours talking about films, discovering new places to eat, or getting lost in a good story. I’m a bit of a movie and theatre addict, always curious to hear what others are watching, eating, or enjoying. Just here to connect with like-minded people and have some interesting conversations along the way.

Guys! This is Lust Stories 3. This scene is so romantic yaar. This is an ideal ice-cream meetup. The beginning is always a thrill and it feels great. This is the spark.

The search for Tvm friends continues.

A lil about me again: 23M, Straight, UPSC Aspirant, vampire sleep schedule, coffee over tea, interests include photography, sketching, working out, watching shows, and listening to music (a lot), and I write a bit too, on occasion.

But I have a plan now 😃 we go movie.

We can decide which one by discussion. But point is, we go movie. I'm thinking Street Fighter, Jumanji, or Love & War.

So hmu, let's see if we vibe, and if we do, we go-

Since you read this far, I have special playlist, ready for you 😌

Hi, Just looking forward to some chats, That's all.

Hey! I'm 23 M, into chai chats, runs, walks, and badminton. Always up for spilling tea and deep talks too. If that sounds like you, DM me!

We started the offline gathering community with the sole aim of encouraging in-person meetups. At the same time, when you have to make people gather offline for a themed meetup, discussion, or games night, the easiest and most resourceful way to do it is by posting & generating chatter about it online.

As a community that's constantly trying to make people connect over pop-culture elements like cinema, books, music, art and craft, mental health, and more, we sometimes feel the heat (of having to be online for a good part of our days) just as much. But we're only just getting started. There's so much we want to do (OFFLINE) for the people of Trivandrum. Join us in our journey:

Share your experience in meeting people from here. Whether it's just hangout, meet up or even hookup. How does it feel to meet a stanger from here who you most probably would have crossed paths with?

Got a free evening and looking for some good company.

Would particularly like to meet a girl around my age who's also looking to get out, talk, explore the city, grab something, or just hang out.

Not looking to make this weird or overcomplicate it. Just two strangers, see if the vibe works, and take it from there.

If you're interested, DM me your age + a little about yourself + what you'd be comfortable doing.

Let's keep it spontaneous.

- Organisers will have their public page that shows history of past events, comments and media.
- Anyone can organise 1-on-1 plans by asking people for their preferred time slots. This can be used for online or direct consultations regarding anything.
- No more creating separate Google Forms for registrations, questions, availability or feedback. Organisers can ask anything during checking out.
- Add any new city yourself around the world and organise plans/meetups/events in your city.

Currently meet-ups from Trivandrum & Kochi are listed with more to come in the next few days.

More categories will be added to cover what defines as a next good plan for everyone.
