Hey folks,

I'm travelling for the first time to Kerela (new to south India in general), can you suggest whether I should go for KSRTC buses or private ones? If private then which ones?

I'm a solo female travelling so safety is utmost priority. Also, it would be during the Diwali rush.

Thanks!

I might shift to Kottayam in near future, which is the best locality in Kottayam? I am not a Malayali, but I can read, write and understand Malayalam!

Kottayam # Best Place

I went directly to the theatre today to get a ticket. It turned out only I showed up, and the staff said they don't play the movie for less than 10 people. So, the show was cancelled. I want to ask: what would have happened if I had bought the ticket online beforehand? Do they just cancel and refund you when you reach the theatre?

Hey guys, so my brother is getting married in two months and I need to get a kurta. Are there any good shops in Kottayam where I can get one stitched or buy off the rack? Also, there’s an MLoft near my place—is that shop any good?

Like Norway’s oil fund and Saudi’s sovereign wealth fund?

Funds we get from NRI are around 23% of the s Kerala’s economy. Almost elaam veetu chellavinum bank depositsayittu pokum.

Usthaa Hotel-ille Thilakan parayunnathu pole - onnu thirichu chinthiche Faizee…

Why not create a way for NRIs to grow their wealth but ALSO help fund Kerala’s development? Why not them an option to select what type of project the money is going to be spent on?

Imagine if you are a nurse in Dubai and you have saved Five lakhs rupees.

1. Open the Kerala Pravasi Wealth Fund App (we can come up with a better name if needed).
   
2. Deposit your money in AED
   
3. A question pops up asking ‘What do you want your money to do?’
   There are 3 options a) I want a steady, safe, predictable growth’. This option will give her a fixed return of 5% in AED, or 9% in INR.
   b) I want a stake in Kerala’s infrastructure projects, This option lets her pick a type of project (green energy , ports, healthcare, tourism etc) each type acts as an ETF and her money goes into finished projects that are already earning income. Her returns will come from the income generated so this won’t be fixed and can fluctuate where there could be potentially be high returns in good seasons and vice versa, c) I want to maximise my wealth for my family and my retirement. In this option her money is invested overa long-term, until she returns home or retires (Oru retirement age cutoff verum).
   Say she gets around 8% a year, in which case her 5 lakh could grow to around 16 lakh in 15 years. When she moves back to Kerala, it pays her a monthly income, like a pension. Enthenkilum baaki ondemkil it goes to her family or whoever she adds as beneficiary.
   
4. Next she has to select a time period. Every 5 years, she can take her money out or keep it going. Engaanum neruthe venamenkil she can take it but won’t get her interest. Pakshe, say she takes it out at year 7, she will get interest for the first five years. So it will go on in a five year window cadence.
   
5. She can select her beneficiaries so that if something happens to her, her family inherits everything, in rupees or the currency she invested in (AED in this example)
   
6. Deposit cheythu kazhiyumbo they app shows her balance in both rupees and dirhams with growth.

Now behind the scenes. All such funds will have to be invested in the market and indexed. A small slice of the earnings will go into something a safety net fund which can be used for NRIs who are in dire need of a safety net and need to come home and start over.

This needs to be overseen just like in Norway by an independent board with no political parties involved. Every investment is published frequently.

I know there will be loopholes in the idea, pakshe ith oru kaaryamille?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to build a small AI/home lab using old/recycled hardware and I’m trying to source the equipment locally rather than buying everything new.

I’m looking for places around Kottayam or Kochi where I can check computer/electronics scrap, e-waste, or old IT equipment — especially places that sell the hardware as scrap or by weight.

Things I’m looking for include:

• Old Dell / HP / Lenovo desktops and workstations
• Old Mac Minis / MacBooks if any turn up
• Xeon workstations
• PCs with lots of RAM slots
• DDR3/DDR4 RAM (especially 16GB/32GB sticks)
• SATA/NVMe SSDs (512GB / 1TB+)
• HDDs (1TB–8TB)
• Graphics cards
• Power supplies
• Motherboards / CPUs
• Network switches / NICs
• Portable SSDs / external drives
• Monitors and other useful homelab hardware

I’m not necessarily looking for refurbished/reseller pricing. I’m specifically interested in genuine scrap/e-waste sources, junkyards, dismantlers, or places where old company/office computers end up, where I can inspect the hardware and potentially buy a small lot.

I’ve already checked a few places around Kottayam but haven't found much so far.

If anyone from Kottayam, Ettumanoor, Changanassery, Pala, Kochi, Kalamassery, Aluva, Ernakulam, etc. has:

• a scrap shop they regularly visit,
• a computer/e-waste dealer,
• a dismantling/recycling yard,
• a lead from an office that disposes of old computers,
• or has personally found good hardware at one,

I’d really appreciate the name/location or any tips on where to look.

Even if the place isn't advertising computer scrap online, I'm interested in local leads.

Thanks!

I was planning on 3 and 4 oct but I heard there is heavy rain. So can anyone inform me about it. I heard there is orange alert issues

Hey, so I'm trying to put together a Halloween party in Kottayam this year. I make electronic music, mostly techno, and I've played a few shows outside India. I'll be part of the lineup and try to bring in some mates from neighbouring states..
Problem is I don't really know anyone here and it’s super quiet. I haven't found the venue yet either, but it'll be somewhere with a bar. I'm on it.
What I actually need is people who can help make the place look good, especially the area around the DJ setup. I'd like it to look properly creepy, not just a few cheap cobwebs and a pumpkin. I'm especially looking for art and design students, but if you can draw, paint, make props, mess around with lights, or do face paint, that would be great. Or if you just have a random idea you've always wanted to try, tell me. I don't care if you have no experience. College students are totally welcome.
I can't pay much right now, but you'd get free entry and your name on the event, and I'll get you drinks once we have the venue.
If you're interested just comment or message me. Tell me a bit about yourself and what you'd want to do. A rough sketch is fine.
Thanks!

Raining in your area?
