anybody know wedding location for 250-300 people . Mostly near back waters or outdoor . And what it costs.? Looking in Kochi, alappuzha, thrissur

Does anybody know where I can get notebooks with plenty of pages at cheap price in Kochi, Kerala?

Atleast I couldn't find it in trivandrum swiggy or zomato. Was craving for that beetroot cutlet

So, I have a plot of land, around 40 cents, located right in front of the main road. Since it's in a prime location, it's quite expensive. A Hindustan Petroleum franchise, through a private individual, has approached us to rent the land for 20 years, offering 50k per month. While 50k per month is a significant amount, I’m unsure how legitimate this deal is. Does anyone have any insights on this? I don’t have much knowledge about such agreements. Also, after 20 years, will the land still be useful? I’ve heard that they might make it unusable by then. Another concern is whether they could legally claim ownership of the land after using it for 20 years. I’ve come across this possibility somewhere, but I’m not sure if it’s true. Can anyone clarify? Right now, we haven't done anything with the property—it’s just sitting there. Additionally, is running a petrol bunk profitable? This discussion got us thinking about building our own instead. What are the pros and cons of that? Feel free to share your suggestions and ideas. Thanks!

When I see clips of old Kamal Hassan movies or even Anbe Sivam (2003) with the soda bottle specs and thick moustache, I remember fond memories of my father.

Of a time when my parents only fought in private, and of a time when my dad used to joke, laugh, enact skits, sing Maadapraave, and dance Michael Jackson songs with us. I can't count the times we rewatched Thanmathra (2005) together on our striped blue easy chair.

What I miss most are the bedtime talks. He would tell me stories about Deepthi HSS in Thalore, about two friends he went on walks with, about his burnt football and about a boy in our village who went mad studying.

Sometimes, he'd repeat stories I ask for, like Chaitran and Maitran, or Hamlet (not sure why I picked those 🤔😂).

Other times, he would ask me what I would say at his grave after his funeral when he passes. Every time my answer was the same, "no, you won't die" And then he says, "but if I do, will you have any last words at my grave once everyone else leaves?"

I'd shake my head every time and say I don't want to say it. He said he would wait for me to say, "Appa, this is me. Everyone has left, and I'm standing here by myself. I miss you. Lal Salaam."

I still have this memorized.

I didn't know why he rehearsed that so much with me or why he insisted on those words. Until I rewatched the climax of Lal Salaam (1990) and realized that is a paraphrase of the lonely eulogy Netooraan said at D.K.'s pyre. It is one of my dad's favorite movies and he adores Mohanlal.

Everyone wants to be missed and remembered a certain way. My father who idolizes Mohanlal, wishes to be remembered like this.

As life grew tougher for him, he became lesser of that person. Those days are long gone from our family. I am older now. My father and I have drifted apart.

I forgot a lot of things that he shared with me when I was a child. But now I see more clearly why I like hindi songs from the late 80s and why I believed in communism when I was a teenager; because I love my father and cherish our time together from when I was a child.

I miss being close to my father. Despite everything, I intend to honor his wishes when God forbid he passes, even if we may be on worse terms then.

I just had to get this off my chest. (Yes, I know that was a crazy title).

So this happened 2 years ago. Me and my friends parked our cars on the road side and where just talking and having a cigarette. Cops came by and started questioning why. One of them came to me and asked to unlock my phone. I'm someone who values personal privacy and getting into my phone was a huge breach. On the pressure of the moment I complied, he went through my whole gallery and whatsapp. He went through my phone for 15minsm There was nothing sketchy so they gave back the phone and asked us not to stop there anymore. This event kind of shook me and had a hard time sleeping for few days. How easily our rights are violated. I could have resisted but the moment it happened I could do nothing. There was another instance in 2010 when police had a routine check but it was getting dark. Around 6.30- 7pm. I was at fault of talking to my pillion while riding. A cop jumped in front of me and I had to brake really hard not to crash into him. As I was leaned forward because of this he hit me on my back. I don't know why a normal person has to go through these harassment on his daily life. Anyway I recently moved to a western country and feels much better emotionally. Thanks for reading, I just wanted to let it out
