Hi everyone! My friends and I are planning a trip to Kerala around New Year's, and we’d love some insights from the locals or anyone who’s visited recently. We have a few questions and would appreciate any tips you can share:

1. Car Rentals: Is it easy to rent a car on a per-day basis in Kerala? If yes, what are some reliable rental services or apps that you'd recommend?
2. Traffic Police and Rules: I've heard Kerala has strict traffic regulations. Is it true, and are there any specific rules we should keep in mind while driving there?
3. Your Suggestions: If you have any recommendations for places we shouldn’t miss, tips on local experiences, or anything to make our trip more memorable, please let us know!

Thanks in advance for your help, looking forward to exploring Kerala!

So lately I have been seeing a lot these atthar shops perfumes. Basically a small shop or even stalls on the road side with a lot of led lights and color full bottles. Is this Money laundering?

I am looking for a general use purpose wireless mouse under 1000/-. idnk whether its right place for ask a question regarding tech based but since am living kerala and i dont find mouse related subreddit in india.

Generally Kerala temples do not have gopurams and even the rituals seemed rather different from say central Kerala where I am from, was just curious for the historical reasons behind this. Could not find any comprehensive historical sources for this online

So today I went to watch Singam Again all by myself in our local city theatre. From my previous experience usually for a Hindi movie there won't be much crowd in a theatre (*mind you I live abroad came here recently for holidays), so I only expected just a couple of audience but to my surprise the theatre was almost full. And what surprised me the most was that apart from a family the rest of the audience was migrants. I felt like an outsider in that audience, they were hooting , cheering and everything. I know they also have equal rights to watch and enjoy movie of their language and I am not complaining about that but I surprised my the sheer number of migrants!

Again I am not being racist or anything like just wanted to know how and when did this exponential growth in migrant population occur?

I’m thinking about starting a career in medical coding here in Kerala. I’m curious about a few things:

1. Job Market: How’s the demand for medical coders locally? Is remote work common?

2. Salary: What’s a realistic starting salary here, and how does it grow with experience?

3. Training: Any recommended certifications or institutes?

Would love to hear from anyone with experience or insights in this field. Thanks!

Hi all. 27M here from north india. Currently working in Bangalore as Software Engineer. My parents want to visit Thrissur in December. They are very religious, my father in particular and he says some significant, lesser known places are there which he wants to visit.

Looking for some suggestions;

1. What is the best way to roam in Thrissur? Should I rent a car or just take autos between venues?
2. Will language be an issue? Like are people fine with English/Hindi.
3. What location should I stay?
4. Should I club 1 more destination? We don't like to rush, we lean more towards stay and enjoy.

Any other suggestions are also welcome. Thank you. Sorry if any typos, posting from mobile.

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to know more about the December scene at popular cafes like Trip is life/sarwaa/inda cafe and how difficult it is to get a table at cliff edge mid-december. Girlfriend and I are visiting Varkala in December and I just wanted to plan a memorable dinner for our anniversary. But I've been having trouble booking in advance since Trip is life said they're walk-in only during that time of the year and can't make the arrangements. Could anyone please suggest alternatives? I'd really like to book it in advance, as we can never be too sure to get the tables with walk-in only.

Apologies for the negativity in the post. Looking for solutions.

I usually do an yearly write-up here advising new students about how to face college and how to get the most out it and stuff.. Similarly I was starting to write one... ezhuthi vannappo I realized that most of pazhaya kalikal wont work anymore..

Basically you have two classical routes; get a job or higher studies.

Getting a job in the non-CS field is extremely hard because of the extreme scarcity of such (core subject) openings.
Plus most good companies restrict themselves to Teir1 colleges.

And for CS, there are 50,000 jobless guys from the past 3 years applying to linkedin openings for 5,000/month salaries.
"Rapid improvement in AI causing increased developer efficiency leading to less requirement of new hires" inte kaaryam pinne parayueem veenda.. (some people will argue against AI taking jobs.. but it's happening already and how it plays out 4 years into the future is unpredictable).
Further, interview difficulty is increasing (with 4LPA companies asking DP(very hard non intuitive CS qns)) and from simple economics, salary offerings will decline as well..

This situation renders the degree pretty useless..
----------------

Now this would naturally lead to high influx of unemployed youth, who'll fall for study abroad scams(if they'll still exist then (i think countries will heavily tighten up indian student visa requirements due to all the kolahalangal they are causing; this is already happening in EUR, AUS))

Eventually, porath pooyavar joli illathond visa kazhiyumbo thirich verum.. and last 4 yrs pass out aaya pillerum jobless aayi irippundaavum..

Tough times create strong men ennaenllo; so they ought to find a solution for this... ippole aaloich thodangaam..

Do I call animal control or something or bury it ourselves?

Im having an average performance through out my academics and have a year gap before joining for BA which i did as a distant degree. My last semester exams will be over this year and was planning to appear for MAT or KMAT for getting into cusat or any other reputable college in kerala. So can i get into colleges like cusat if i appear well for the exams and interviews or will my profile gets rejected on the basis of my pre MBA?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I’ve only heard of chitty schemes in Kerala and was wondering how does it work? How is it different from a bank RD?

Whenever someone start the discussion of freeing temples from government, the very first argument comes up against is, now temple is audited and there's a transparancy in financial aspects of temples. But the thing is, there's no audit report available from the year 2016-17 in any of the Devaswom Board website. Why so.?
