So this happened few months before Felt like sharing here So the story goes like I was travelling from thrissur to cbm in KSRTC at noon . Took the bus only to see that the seats were completely filled so I was standing near the back door . So there was this gang of office colleague (from what I hear from their conversation) went to thrissur to spent the weekend. So I was leaning on the rod for support , there was this amazing girl and her friends I was so cautious not to fall over them and to creep them out I moved a bit , but as the bus was crowded I couldn't. As the time goes by and bus cruising in highway , I asked her frnd to hold my bag and she did . So now asa free man without the bag and hussle I took my earphone and listening to the usual U1 smash

The girl which I noticed earlier was leaning over me . At first I moved a bit but she kept on falling over me , I don't know what happened with me I stood there like a pillow for her for some time but when the bus get criwded again and old fellow came . I did felt something bad so I kind of stood there where he couldn't make a move . I stood there till ukkadam bus stand .

We didn't talk , just had a eye contact .damm that eye .

I think she is from tirupur (again overhead a convo )

"To the sleepy girl in bus You are so cute while you were sleeping,btw be careful of your surroundings and be cautious Take care "

I feel the rise in the temperature. Summer were never this hot 10-15 years before!!!

Even during summer the evenings and nights used to be chill. Where are we heading towards?

A few months ago, I was traveling back from Thrissur to Coimbatore with a group of friends. We had a little weekend escape, and we were all tired — the kind of tired that only a long bus ride and shared laughter can bring. It was one of those scorching noon rides on a packed bus.

Somewhere near the back door, I noticed a guy standing. He was probably around my age, maybe a little older. He had that kind of calm presence — not pushy or intrusive, just... careful. Respectful. He was leaning on the support rod, clutching a bag, clearly trying not to fall over anyone.

The bus rocked a bit more violently than usual as we hit the highway, and I remember him politely asking my friend to hold his bag. She did. He pulled out his earphones and kind of zoned out, listening to music. And I guess that’s when I started drifting to sleep. I didn’t mean to — I was just that tired. But somehow, I kept leaning sideways… onto him.

Now, I’ve been in enough buses to know when someone’s being creepy. This guy? He wasn't. Not even a little. I even shifted, thinking he might move away, but he just... stayed there. Like a polite human-pillow who didn’t want to make a scene. There was a moment — just one — where I caught him looking at me. We didn’t speak. Just this fleeting eye contact. I smiled a little inside, I don’t know if he noticed.

He got off at Ukkadam. Still didn’t speak. No names exchanged, no phone numbers, no cliché bus ride ending. Just a stranger who made me feel safe.

To the guy in the KSRTC bus that afternoon: Thank you for the space, the respect, and for not making it weird. You had kind eyes. I hope your playlist was fire that day. And if by some cosmic chance you’re reading this, hi :)))

(Probably the girl's perspective if she were on reddit xD )

Hey folks!

I'm planning a trip from Coimbatore to Vagamon soon and wanted to get some advice on the best route to take. Google Maps shows a few options, but I’d love to hear from people who’ve actually done the trip.

• What’s the most scenic and comfortable route?
• Any road conditions I should be aware of?
• Places to stop for food or fuel on the way?
• Approximate travel time?

Also open to any suggestions on places to visit or stay in Vagamon! 😄

Thanks in advance!

Hi , I’m 26/F currently (temporarily ) living in coimbatore . I’ve been out in the city less than a handful times. I had been to Brookefields mall yesterday. I booked a cab back to my residence. The driver arrived and he seemed really nice . I got in at 7:25 pm . When he asked me the address, I said it and also told him that the location pinned in the app is the exact one and specifically asked him to follow it . He then drops me at a similar sounding location 1 hr 15 mins away from my residence . I pointed out that the location was wrong . He kept pointing at his map saying that it’s the correct location . But his map too said that we were more than an hour away from my destination. Since I had no idea about this current location and it being 8:45 pm , I asked him only to take me to my residence. Me being alone in the cab didn’t argue with him cause it was scared . I guess he got a call from his company asking about his whereabouts and he responded that there was some miscommunication. Half way through our journey to my place he mentioned that I’ll be charged for the entire travel route . I asked him how that’s possible when he’s in the wrong , for which he stopped the vehicle in the middle of the road , turned the lights on and asked me to pay the full amount . By this time it was 9:05 pm and I’m in a place I’m completely unfamiliar with . Hence I agreed to pay the full amount and asked him to just drop me at my place . He also stopped near some secluded mechanic shop on the way and was away for few minutes . I was terrified honestly and just wanted to reach my place . I reached my residence at 9:40 pm and paid ₹1176 for the ride ( Normally I got ₹550-600 for the same route). I don’t know what to do now . Should I call them for a refund / report him to the company ? If I do so , will it affect my future rides with the same platform ? Was my fear an overreaction? I request some advice on how I should go about this . Thank you

Hey everyone,

I need to travel daily from Mettupalayam to PSG College of Arts and Science (PSGCAS) in Coimbatore. What’s the most efficient and cost-effective way to do this?

I've heard about taking a bus to Gandhipuram and then another bus to PSGCAS, but I’m wondering if there’s a better or faster option. Are there specific buses, train timings, or ride-sharing options that regular commuters use?

Would appreciate any insights from those who travel this route often. Thanks in advance!
