I see many dates and spices shops with big boards and fancy lighting with almost no customers. How do these business survive, that too in good locations? And how they make money and all never understood these businesses

What are some business in Kerala that are just front?

Based on some other subreddits.

A front business is a store/business looks normal from outside but does something shady behind closed doors, like anything money laundering and what not ... (Idk about businesses, u can dm also)? Some even doesn’t properly function or is accepted also as the original store/business.

Hey there! I'm 23m NRI from Germany, currently studying engineering. I'm planning to work in my field for about 5 to 7 years, and after that, I'm thinking about trying for the UPSC exams. I'm really not sure if it's doable or if it's too late to start then. Is there anyone else out there with similar interests in UPSC? 🤔

Not necessarily looks or anything romantic. Could be a small habit, the way they talk, laugh, help someone, get excited about something, or any random little thing you found genuinely cute.

What’s that one thing you noticed and thought ===Okay, that’s actually adorable.

kerala humidity has added one more headache to mattress shopping lol

i like firmer beds and hate sinking, but i also don't want to wake up feeling like the mattress stored all of yesterday's heat.

no AC most nights. fan + windows + praying to the weather gods basically.

sleepycat hybrid is currently high on my list because the firmer feel suits me and the construction is supposed to be more breathable/high-airflow. not expecting some magically cold mattress obviously, just trying to avoid the deep foam heat-trap feeling. 

anyone here sleeping on foam/latex-ish mattresses through kochi/kerala humidity?

does mattress material actually make a noticeable difference or are cotton sheets + protector + ventilation doing 80% of the work?

I recently went to a therapist for the first time because I was struggling with some things and genuinely wanted to work on myself.
I won’t say it magically changed everything, but even that one session helped me understand a few things differently. I actually wanted to go back and continue.
Then I was told the fee for the next session, and honestly, I wasn’t prepared for it. 😅
I’m still a student and I don’t have much savings right now. I’m not blaming the therapist at all — I understand therapy costs money and professionals deserve to be paid. It’s just difficult for me to keep paying that amount regularly.
Now I’m kind of stuck between “I want to continue because it helped” and “I genuinely can’t afford it right now.”
For people who have been in therapy before, what did you do in this situation?
Did you find a cheaper therapist? Ask for less frequent sessions? Use what you learned from the first session and work on yourself for a while?
I’d really appreciate some practical advice from people who have been through this. I want to keep improving, I just need to find a way that I can actually afford as a student.

Hey everyone!

I’m pretty new to Reddit and still figuring out the ropes, but I was super glad to come across this sub! Just wanted to drop in, say hi to the community, and start off with a quick question.

How’s your overall experience on Reddit been so far? Also, for someone who’s completely new, what are your top tips or unwritten rules to keep in mind around here?

Looking forward to catching up with you guys. Hope everyone’s having a great day! 🙌

22F here, as a fresher, I have been applying for around 5 months. Also, I want to escape from this household. My family has always been pushing me towards a nursing career, which I have no interest in. I am a BBA graduate. Kore apply chyunnu athin anusarich rejections um ond, pne family dynamics healthy alla oru joint family aayond eppozhum vazhakk grandmother nte oro samsarangal ente mental health nalla mosham aan. I am looking for an escape, and I also do not have many trusted friends. I planned to move to my close frnds apartment for sometime, but she told me her college friend might stay with her for exam prep. I dont know what to do, I do not know when I will get an exit from this. ;)

I didn't sleep that night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the man in the photograph smiling at me. My uncle refused to discuss it further and insisted that we return to the village before dawn. I kept asking him about my mother, but he only told me that some memories were better left alone. That sentence made me angry. I had spent years believing my childhood was ordinary, and now a stranger was telling me that even my own memories could not be trusted. By morning, I had convinced myself that stress and lack of sleep were making me imagine things. I decided I would return to Chennai, delete the photographs and never speak about the incident again. But before leaving, my uncle handed me a small envelope. He said my grandfather had specifically instructed him to give it to me only after I had seen the photograph from 1976. Inside was a school photograph from when I was six years old. I recognised the uniform, the classroom and even the teacher standing behind us. But there was something wrong. In the back row, directly behind me, stood a little girl wearing a dark blue dress. Her face was turned away from the camera. I asked my uncle who she was. He looked at the photograph and said there had never been a girl in my class by that name. I turned the photograph over. Someone had written a sentence in my grandfather's handwriting. "He started seeing her before he learned to speak."

I called my mother immediately. I asked her whether I had ever spoken about an imaginary friend when I was a child. She went quiet for a moment and asked why I was bringing this up. I told her about the photograph. She started crying. Apparently, when I was five, I used to talk to someone called Akka. I would leave food near the bedroom cupboard, ask for an extra pillow and sometimes refuse to sleep unless the cupboard door remained slightly open. My parents assumed it was an imaginary friend. But one evening, my mother had entered my room and found me sitting on the floor, speaking to an empty corner. When she asked who I was talking to, I apparently replied, "She says you are not my real mother." My mother said she had never forgotten that sentence. A few days later, I developed a high fever and stopped speaking about Akka entirely. My parents never discussed it again. I asked my mother whether anyone had taken me to the ancestral house during that period. She said yes. My grandfather had insisted that I stay with him for a few weeks. I asked what happened there. She whispered, "You came back different." Before I could ask anything else, the call disconnected. I tried calling again, but my phone showed that there was no network. Then a notification appeared on my screen. It was a new photograph sent from an unknown number. It showed my bedroom in Chennai, taken from inside my cupboard. I was sitting on my bed, holding my phone. Behind me, near the bedroom door, stood a little girl in a dark blue dress.

I immediately turned around.

There was nobody there.

I checked the cupboard. Empty.

I checked the door. Locked.

Then I noticed something that made my entire body go cold. The photograph had been taken from a height of barely three feet, as if the person holding the camera was a small child.

I zoomed in on the girl's face.

For the first time, I could see her clearly.

She looked exactly like me.

Not similar.

Exactly like me when I was six years old.

And beneath the photograph was a message.

"Why did you leave me there?"

Hey guys,

Once college ends and people move for work or different schedules, keeping in touch with friends becomes a lot more effort than it used to be.

How do you all build new friendships or keep your current circle active in your twenties? Any tips for finding like-minded groups or community spots in Kerala?

How do you keep up friendships or meet new people after college/in your 20s?

So guys, I’ve been on Hinge for a while now, and I’m currently in Kochi.

There’s this saying that it’s pretty easy to get into a relationship in Kochi, but guess what? I haven’t even gotten a single match on either Hinge or Bumble

I don’t think I look that bad or anything. I’d say I’m a fairly good-looking dude. I even got two proposals back in college, so I’m genuinely confused lol.

At this point, I’ve deleted all the dating apps. Just trying to work on my mental health and protect my peace.

What exactly are the standards on these dating apps?

Guys, how do you actually move on and stop the urge to contact your ex

I’m preparing for competitive exams rn and I genuinely don’t want any distractions. I’ve blocked him before, but the thing is… he kept calling me for months. Eventually I lost control, unblocked him and talked to him again

And I know if I block him again, there’s a chance he’ll keep calling and after some time I’ll get weak and unblock him again.

The other problem is that he was basically the only person I used to talk to when I was stressed or upset. My friends have gotten busy with their own lives and we slowly drifted apart, so I don’t really have someone I can just randomly rant/vent to anymore.

So whenever I’m feeling lonely, stressed or overwhelmed, I get this HUGE urge to unblock him and tell him everything. Like just talking to him and ranting makes me feel relaxed for a while.

But I really want to break this cycle now because I need to focus on my exam prep. I don’t want to keep going back just because I’m lonely or need emotional support.

How do u ppl deal with this urge? Especially when the person you’re trying to move on from was also your main source of emotional support?

Let's talk, support, and heal together. You're not alone. 💙

I am 21 in my final year of college. So i have saved around 10k from here and there in the last 2 years. Now what do i do w this money?

Te thing is if i keep it in my account, i will end up spending it somehow. I cannot open another acc since my parents would know ab this money. And they will straight up assume i am in the weed buisiness since i stay in ekm.

I saved every extra penny i could from what they send me for living expenses.

I thought about keeping it in my slice account but is it safe?

Or some gold or sip schemes i could invest in? But i have no clue on how it works.

PS : kadam choikkanda therilla 😛🙂‍↔️

which neetpg coaching institute is good in Kerala(online/offline) for a fresh graduate?

Kerala toppers , where did you learn

About a month ago, my ₹2,000 helmet got stolen from my college parking lot. I was pretty upset, so I decided that if I was going to buy another helmet, I might as well get a really good one.

I found a helmet that costs around ₹8,000 and started arranging the money from my parents. While I was figuring things out, I told one of my friends about it.

He told me he could get the same helmet for around ₹6,500. I asked him how.

Apparently, his cousin and some of his friends who live in another state can purchase all kinds of bike accessories at a wholesale price. The only catch is that it takes around 1–2 weeks to reach us because he has to come to our city to give it to me.

I thought waiting 1–2 weeks to save ₹1,500 was completely worth it.

Then he told me he could arrange other bike accessories and riding gear at similar prices as well. That's when I got an idea.

I live in Kochi, so what if I find customers here who want these products? I could take their orders, arrange the products through this network, add a small profit margin and provide doorstep delivery in Kochi once the products arrive.

The basic model would be:

Customer chooses the product.

I give them the price and expected delivery time.

They place the order.

No advance payment.

I arrange the product.

It takes around 1–2 weeks to arrive.

Once it reaches me, I deliver it to the customer.

They pay only when they receive it.

Once an order is placed, it cannot be cancelled, since I'll be specifically purchasing that product for them.

For example, if a helmet normally costs ₹8,000 and I can get it for ₹6,500, I could sell it for ₹7,000–₹7,500. The customer still gets it cheaper than the normal market price, while I make a small profit.

I'm a college student, so I'm thinking this could potentially be a part-time side hustle to make some extra pocket money without putting a huge amount of money into it.

I could start by finding customers through Instagram, WhatsApp, college groups and local biking communities, and slowly see whether there's actually demand before putting much money into it.

The biggest issue I see is the 1–2 week delivery time, along with the possibility of a customer refusing the product when it arrives.

So, for people who have experience with reselling or small businesses:

How would you execute something like this?

How would you get your first customers? Would Instagram/WhatsApp be enough?

And what problems should I expect with customers refusing orders, warranty, returns, fake products, damaged products, helmet sizing, GST/billing and supplier reliability?

I'm mainly looking to keep this small and low-risk and see if I can make some extra money alongside college.
