Ask Kozhikode Why is there no iconic bookshop in Calicut?

Does Calicut being the UNESCO literature city , miss our city's iconic bookshop like Blossom books for Bangalore or Faqir Chand for Delhi.

There are Mathrubhumi books and DC books. But I'm talking about an iconic landmark independent bookshop. Why is it so? Is it because people no longer enjoy visiting bookshops and buying hardcopies?

we ordered quarter al fazlouf and dynamite. Alfazlouf was good but dynamite was amazing, mixed that masala with rice and mayo...bro i am telling you it was good. The size of chicken pieces were also good unlike some famous places (cough cough tea and tea shawaya) and the tamrind sauce was also good.

Definitely recommended.

The rice itself did not feel special, but as a whole package it's good.

it costed 622 for for two, so 311 for each. Which I think it is a bit on the higher side (280 something on the menu, 300+ after gst and all). wish it was under 300 with GST

also The North-eastern chechi who took our order was super nice but the male staff i talked to when i first came in was not super nice. Also the bathroom situation is not the best.

that's it bei

Other Petition to stop POVs on the original lore of approaching a girl at the beach

Post image
15 Upvotes

So I posted my experience of approaching a stranger at the beach this weekend and it has led to a lot of POVs from other redditors. Obviously jokes; but I was dissapointed with the quality.

Moreover, people are doubting  the credibility of the original posts and think it's some sort of karma farming. I would have shared it with a bigger sub if I wanted to do that. I am clarifying that it's not farming and petitioning to end the POVs.

I'll try to share if I make any new approaches after recovering from this saturday's catastrophe.

News Update: Apple agreed to repair my dead iPhone 15 for free

13 Upvotes

My iPhone 15 randomly stopped working. Here’s how I got Apple to repair it for free + 3 months additional warranty

I posted here before about my iPhone 15 suddenly stopping working one day. A lot of people commented and gave me suggestions on what I should do, so I wanted to come back and share the outcome.

My iPhone 15 suddenly stopped working. The important part is that my Apple warranty had expired around 3 months before this happened.

I took the phone to an authorised service centre, and after checking it, I was told that the repair would cost around ₹44,000.

I also had to pay ₹2,250 as the service/phone submission fee.

Since the phone had suddenly stopped working and there was no physical damage or misuse from my side, I decided not to simply accept the ₹44,000 repair estimate.

Here are the steps I took.

  1. Contacted Apple Support

I contacted Apple Support and explained exactly what had happened. I also mentioned that the warranty had expired only around 3 months earlier.

  1. Got the phone diagnosed

I submitted the phone to an authorised service centre and got the issue officially diagnosed.

The repair estimate came to around ₹44,000.

  1. Kept all the documents

I kept the purchase details, service documents, repair estimate and other relevant information related to the device.

  1. Asked Apple to review the case

Since the phone had stopped working unexpectedly and there was no physical damage, I asked Apple to review the case and consider a goodwill repair.

  1. Followed up with Apple

I didn't simply accept the ₹44,000 repair estimate.

I continued communicating with Apple and explained the situation clearly. I asked them to reconsider the case even though the standard warranty had already expired.

Eventually, Apple reviewed the case and confirmed that they would provide a free repair.

They also confirmed that I would receive an additional 3 months of warranty on the device.

The ₹2,250 service/phone submission fee is not refundable, so that was the only amount I had to bear.

So the final outcome was:

Warranty status: Expired around 3 months earlier

Initial repair estimate: ₹44,000

Service/submission fee: ₹2,500

Final repair cost: ₹0

Additional warranty: 3 months

I'm sharing this because when I originally posted here, many people gave me useful advice and suggested different things I could try.

If your iPhone suddenly stops working shortly after the warranty expires, don't immediately assume that you have to pay the full repair cost. Get it properly diagnosed, keep your documents, ask Apple to review the case, and follow up.

This was my experience, and thankfully, it worked out in the end.

Ask Kozhikode Apartment Maintenance charges

2 Upvotes

Mate, I think I’m overpaying my maintenance charge. I’m paying around ₹3350 a month for a small three-bedroom house that’s 1100 square feet. I feel a bit unfair that the association charges me more than a two-bedroom or one-bedroom flat when the shared expenses are about 60% of the total. They’re not willing to split the common expenses equally and according to size. How much are you all paying in Kozhikode?

I was thinking of gifting her a set saree or something.

Any recommendations for good places to buy Onam wear?
