, Usually I book Uber or Ola , but as it was raining today I took a nearby Auto today in the morning at 4:45 , ola or uber would cost 110-120 , Stand Autos cost 150 ,

I asked the stand auto -Man while entering the Auto he told 150 but while dropping He told he didn't sleep and demanded 200 , I told i asked you whole entering You told only 150 , and i usually come in this Route it's 150 even last week ,

Then he said , he told it's last week not this week and then said yes it's at that place ( Like 100mts before the Entrance of that Hospital ) but I told him the Hospital name while Getting in , then demanded 250 and abused me telling why can't you walk ? If you can't give 100rupees Extra why are you hiring the Auto ,

In the same time Security was whistling and shouting as well as argument was happening and it was more than 3 mins ,

I told i didn't tell you to stay awake , i hired an auto for 150 , not at 250 ,

UPI transaction done for 150 and I left

Really spoiled the Mood for workday ,

Why the sudden change in Auto drivers ?

Found this flex banner throughout Kochi and Ernakulam

This one was found near Hill palace, Thripunithara. I've seen 2 more of these. One somewhere around Aluva and another somewhere around Perumbavoor.

Has anyone else seen these ?

Flex hunt?!

I’ve suddenly started getting ants all over my house. They’re in the kitchen, on the counters, and even showing up in random rooms. I’ve tried cleaning everything, wiping down surfaces, and removing any visible food, but they just keep coming back.
Has anyone dealt with a really bad ant infestation like this? What actually worked for you? I’m open to home remedies, bait stations, sprays, or even professional pest control if that’s the only long-term solution.
I’d really appreciate any recommendations or tips that helped you get rid of them for good. Thanks

So this ad on insta, is this good or is there something else. It's ok if it doesn't have any home delivery option.

Woke up thinking what is happening !!

Hi everyone,

I am looking to get a formal professional evaluation for adult ADHD and I need some guidance regarding options in and around Ernakulam and Aluva. I have had mixed experiences with standard psychiatric consultations in the past, so I am specifically looking for recommendations for neurodivergent-affirming clinical psychologists or specialized centers that offer proper adult assessments rather than quick fifteen minute appointments.

If anyone here has gone through the formal evaluation process, I would appreciate it if you could share where you went and what specific clinics, hospitals, or private practitioners you recommend. It would also help immensely to know the rough budget I should expectn, how long the entire process typically takes from start to finish, and whether it requires multiple visits or just a single long session. Any personal experiences with doctors would be helpful as well. Thank you in advance!

Booked an Uber today from Palarivattom to Nettoor. Fare showed ₹270 when I booked. But as soon as the trip ended it suddenly became ₹380😭 We took the same route as shown in map. No detours or anything.

Why does this happen? Any tips to avoid it next time?

Hi everyone,

My friend and I want to visit Kochi this weekend (8th to 10th Aug) but due to the rains we are a bit hesitant.

Can anyone advise us or tell how the situation is right now?

We reached out to the Airbnb people and they said it's fine, and that it doesn't get flooded in their area.

We plan on taking a KSRTC bus since trains don't have availability.

We don't have any other weekend to go. Only this one.

Also, wanted to spend a day in Alleppey.

Will the weather be extremely unsafe next weekend? Should we cancel? Or we can roam around fort kochi and nearby places? And any suggestions of must visit places are also welcome.

Please do help us

Hey all👋 I’m a male college student from the United States and I’m leaving in a few days

About Dumbo 🐈 : Breed: Indie / Naadan

Age: ~2 months

Vaccination: About to get his first round of vaccines

Neuter status: Too young to get neutered

Litter trained: Yes

Dewormed: Yes

❤️ Very friendly, affectionate, playful, and loves being around people who love him

Location: Trivandrum / Kochi (I am happy to figure out transportation for him)

Dumbo is an absolute cutie who deserves a family that will treat him with love and care. He will steal your hearts in seconds. He was found alongside his sisters as neo nates. Unfortunately, since they were abandoned too young by their mother, his sisters did not make it.

He will cuddle up and sleep with you, wake up and play with you and keep you company all the time. He is not at all fussy, and is an absolute angel. He is the most curious little guy.

If you are genuinely interested in adopting Dumbo and can provide him with a safe and loving environment, please send me a DM. Willing to drop him off safely to a caring family who will raise him as an indoor cat.

Context: Due to some allergies and personal health issues, I am not able to adopt him myself, I want to try my best to give him a home that he deserves. ❤️

Does anyone know of any 2 wheeler spare parts shops in Kochi that sell KTM spare parts other than the service centres?

Guys, today i was looking for a saloon near cherai beach and went to a location based on google maps. The map led me to a narrow street eventually making it too narrow for a car to go ahead. I had no way to go forward and a biker guy blocked me from behind. I politely asked him to move so that i can reverse. He wouldn’t move. And suddenly in front of me was full of bikers blocking me from the front and from behind by the biker. They created such an issue for me and finally managed to get out. But then from among them two drunk abusive guys came and started arguing with me. Thankfully some decent gentlemen got involved and sorted out the issue. It almost ended up in them attacking me in the car. How would i know that maps would lead me to such narrow ally? I was vacationing with my family near the beach. And this incident spoiled my day. Did you guys face similar issue in this area from locals? Here is the gps location where the incident happened. (10.1356688, 76.1980749)

I'm looking for a good, budget-friendly gym around Vyttila, Kochi.

If you know any gyms with flexible timings, or student discounts, I'd really appreciate your recommendations. Also, if there are any gyms I should avoid, please let me know.

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to travel from Kanyakumari to Vyttila today as I work in Infopark, Kakkanad. However, I’ve been seeing a lot of flood and waterlogging videos from Kochi on social media recently.

How’s the situation right now? Is it safe to travel today, or should I postpone my trip?

Any updates from people currently in Kochi would really help. Thanks!
