How much does it cost to Tar an 18m road
Road length : 18m
Road width : 4.2m
Rn its just soil (looks similar to the pic above , no levelling or filling required ) so from bottom up I just wanna know an estimate
Location : Kakkanad
Any input is highly appreciated, thank you
Worst road in Kochi right now?
I swear it’s Palarivattom pipeline to JLN stadium route. Super congested road and half of the width is occupied by the metro constructions. And we got dust, and extreme heat and the ‘pacha bus’ as bonus obstacles!
Misleading price information at Laura Salon, Forum Mall
Went to Laura Salon for a kids haircut and had a pretty disappointing experience.
The service itself was okay, nothing to complain about there. But the pricing felt very misleading. They had a board outside clearly mentioning “Kids Haircut – ₹399”. After the haircut, they charged us ₹630. When we questioned it, they said the ₹399 price was only for boys—which was NOT mentioned anywhere.
This honestly feels like a tactic to bring customers in with lower prices and then charge more later. If there are different rates, it should be clearly stated upfront.
Never expected this kind of thing from a reputed brand. It really breaks trust.
Has anyone else faced something similar with salons?
Also—should I formally complain somewhere (consumer forum or something), or just leave it as a bad review and move on?
Where can i get this type of cakes (pothi cakes) in Kochi?
Used to have this in my childhood, and it’s still available in almost every bakery in my native place, Kannur. We call it pothi cake. I’ve searched many nearby (kakkanad) bakeries, but no luck.

Lulu mall, luxo Kochi, CCD, Starbucks . A bunch of entrepreneurs who wear coat, show case iphone, mac book, i mean there are lot of people who play this game i feel
Decision regarding Sale of land in kizhakkambalam and Infopark Phase 3
I have around 5 cents which I bought in 2020 for 17 lakhs , I bought it back then coz I thought I wld just build a small resort type home where I wld stay once in a month or smth as it overlooked a paddy.
But then I just changed my mind and decided not to build that , I asked my neighbouring house if they want the property and they offered me 21.5 lakhs which I think is too low coz it's like 4% cagr whereas a bank fd wld have got me more than that
So my question is has the property price only appreciated this much or is he lowballing me . Also I heard Abt the infopark Phase 3 expansion to kizhakkambalam but then haven't heard much news Abt it , Does anyone have any idea whats going on with it and where exactly it's gonna come
My propery is 200m down the road marked in red opposite to St Mary public school , the plot is 1.3km from kizhakkambalam town
so Im just in a dilemma rn whether I shld sell or wait for phase 3 if it's happening or sell for a better price
Niche spots in kochi ??
doesnt matter what its for, it could be a library some gaming parlor or shop or smthing.
i wanna go somewhere other than forum and lulu mall bruh
DLF Kakkanad Flat scam
I saw a 1BHK listing in DLF Kakkanad for 15,500 on 99 acres. When I enquired he said its available and he is out of station. So for me to visit, I have to meet the society manager with a visitors card and to issue the visitors card, I have to sent him my ID, photo and 2000rs. And the 2000rs is refundable.
Can dlf people confirm if this is actually scam?
Litter disposal + Pet food + Vets suggestion for a 5-6 weeks old Indie kitten being raise at an apartment..
Adopted an indie kitten, a rescue..
Need help with litter disposal as we only have food and plastic disposal at our place. How do you all pet owners manage this at Vennala area. Is tofu flushable litter a good option?
And what food do you get here that’s good?
And yeah, good vets too. She’s healthy now, but would be great to keep note of some vets, I guess.
Also, what did you all do when you started raising a rescue kitten?
Please help..
Re(a)nt in Kochi - Detailed
Before stating what I am looking for, here are some basic things -
Yes. I am a bachelor looking for a space in Kochi. I am a professional. I seek the space to come relax at the end of the day and have some privacy of my own. So no. I will not have my friends over for partying or bring girls over nor do I plan to smoke weed. I am not a guy who drinks and does shenanigans. I keep my residential place always clean. Obviously I don't destroy furniture or draw on walls but since I am a bachelor and such stupid doubts are in people's minds, here is the answer. In short, I just want a place to live. I will look after the place as my own, clean it, maintain it and all the appliances will be taken care of because I need to use them for myself as well! I do pay the rent on time no matter what and I won't call you (owner) for issues such as bulb not working and stuff.
Now what I seek for:
A 1bhk/studio/RK apartment. With parking space for a bike. I don't have my car often, mostly never. I also don't mind sharing 2/3BHK so as long as I have one bathroom attached bedroom for myself. I don't mind even sharing such spaces with couples as well. I am a man of privacy and I give as much as I need it. Not sure if such practice is common in Kochi yet.
Area - Anywhere between Kaloor and MG Road leading up all the way till High Court. I prefer a furnished/semi furnished space. But if you can offer me discounts on rent, I shall even take up unfurnished.
I would not put my rent expectations here as then that would be quoted as the base price to me. We can discuss.
Probably I will not get anything but here's the thing. I am not planning to get married right now just so that I can get a stay in Kochi. Also, I will take care of your space better than those married peeps you (owner) craves for.
Any leads would be appreciated. Namaste!

Cost of living in Kochi
What is the cost of living for a couple in Kochi? No rent or car payment. Imagine you own home and car outright. Upper middle class lifestyle (eating out, entertainment, shopping). Want to know say for a 3 bedroom home what is the utility bill like. Groceries. Travel. No need to include once in a while discretionary expenses like vacation. Just a ballpark figure would do.

Which idiyappam podi do you guys use?
We used to have a nearby mill where we would go for ari podipikkal and it was great. But it shut down a while ago, and since then we have been trying different store bought items.
So far, most of the powders turn out sticky. Some brands are okay once, but not consistent… sometimes good, sometimes back to sticky again. We usually pick them up from Lulu.
Any recommendations for a reliable idiyappam podi that gives soft, non-sticky idiyappam consistently?
