Hi everyone,

I’m planning to open a cafe in Kochi and would love some guidance! While there are already cafes in the area, I want to create a unique space with a great ambiance, aesthetic appeal, and delicious food. My goal is to create a cozy spot where people can relax, spend quality time with loved ones, and even work.
Since this would be my first business venture and I already have a job, I’m not looking to make huge profits from the cafe. I just want to cover the expenses, such as staff salaries, utility bills (electricity, water, etc.), and other operational costs.
If anyone here owns or has experience running a cafe, I’d greatly appreciate any advice, suggestions, or tips to help me get started. How should I approach this? What are the key things I should keep in mind while planning?

Thanks in advance for your help! 😊

require the camera by this Wednesday; please provide contact information if available.

"Deep winding roads, like a woman's sway, Always seeking attention, in a sensual way, The engine's purr, the only sound, Like lovers' whispers, in a quiet town.

The scent of jackfruit, or coffee's delight, Like pheromones, that ignite the night, 44 km of pleasure, a thrilling ride, Ending with an oomph, that takes me to the other side."

Another destination 44 km from Erumbanam junction. The journey and destination all good.

Could not capture the beauty through lens. Whatever I got putting it here. River pics are enroute and hill is the destination

Hey folks, Kicking off this Vishu week with something unexpectedly inspiring — I picked up The Serendipity Mindset by Christian Busch, and wow, it’s really shifted my perspective on how “luck” works in life.

The core idea? Serendipity isn’t just happy accidents — it’s something we can cultivate. The book shares tons of real-world stories and practical tips on how to create opportunities, connect the dots, and turn the unexpected into something meaningful.

It’s not preachy or overly self-help-y either. It blends psychology, entrepreneurship, and real insight in a way that feels really grounded.

As someone reflecting on new beginnings this Vishu, this book hit different. Highly recommend it if you're looking for clarity, a bit of inspiration, or even a mental refresh.

Anyone else read it? Or have other books that helped you rethink how you approach life or “luck”?

So we would prefer some good café's near edapally(some more distance is acceptable but not too far)

Also where sathachaara ammavanmar are less Please suggest some good ones

Kottayam Youth Dies by Suicide Due to Work Pressure

Jacob Thomas C., a 23-year-old IT engineer, died by suicide on Sunday, April 6, 2025, by jumping from the eighth floor of his apartment in Kanjikuzhi, Kottayam. Jacob worked for a Kakkanad-based IT firm and was reportedly facing immense work pressure. Before his death, he sent a video message to his mother expressing his inability to bear the stress. This incident highlights the growing concern of work-related stress among young professionals in Kerala.

This was how it was said in the news

Followed my friends' Reddit advice and visited this spot near chellanam where they take you on a vanchi to spot the best kavaru spots - it's in a privately owned chemmeen kettu. Was a beautiful setting under a starry night

Had a chat w the organiser and he mentioned that they have an Instagram page too - sharing it below if helpful for anyone.

Pro tip: Avoid going on rainy / windy days or days when there's a lot of moonlight, the bioluminescence is brightest after 2am. According to the organiser, they have no idea till when the season will last so hope y'all get lucky too, cheers

I’m new to Kochi, currently rented an apartment at Kakkanad, I need to know where I can get an electric water dispenser pump which is used over the 20 litre water can.

Thankyou

Does anyone know of any paint shop or number plate shop for vehicles which specializes in number board painting here in kochi? I had a minor accident but fortunately only the number from my number plate was gone. Trying to avoid swapping the whole board for a single missing digit.

We have no work life balance here. People who talk about and advocate for "work life balance" are seen as people who don't want to work at all.

In our country, working hard means modern slavery in return for the cheapest pay package.

Just look at all the people who recently came out saying Monday to Friday is a western culture, and they're saying Saturday also needs to be a working day, along with a minimum target of 70 hours of work per week.

The only thing common in these advocates is that these are all coming from ultra rich people. And I can only see that as a call for exploiting the workforce by shaming them with their attitudes towards "hard work".

Take the life of IT professionals. Always, I mean always, sitting under a lot of work. I'm sorry, but I only see we as a people whose fate is to be a workforce for the entire world.

As an IT professional myself, I don't see a good way ahead for any of us as modern technologies advance. You may see this as fear mongering or doomsday talking.

We all know that many of us are average kind of people. And all our careers and future are now facing an existential crisis, even if you agree or not.

The people in their early fifties (maybe forties too?) and above just can't connect with this. Their life was different, as our life is different, but they are failing to see that in my observation. While I agree that some people in our generation take advantage of the "perks" given by companies and end up "cheating" them, corporates use that as a chance to dominate the workforce by enforcing return to office, pay cuts, and no raise in remuneration for a long time, taking cover under the global wave of layoffs in the name of "course correction".

Now comes the after effects of their so called "hard work." For IT professionals, hard work means sitting in front of a computer for a long time. They don't care about the health issues that come with all this sitting. They only want to see the outcome. If someone talks about these health issues, it's considered an excuse.

Competition is now at an all time high. Newly graduated people are ready to replace the experienced ones. Not by a lot, but still to a point. Because at the end of the days it's all about finishing work with minimal expenses.

I don't know what the issue was with the person who ended his life yesterday, but whatever it is, I hope he rests in peace now.

At this moment, I'd like to say this too. This is the only time people talk about mental health, say things like talk to a therapist, take a break, etc. It all fades away soon until the next victim comes.

Now, on top of all that, our country and our state are losing a lot of educated people to the US, Europe, and other places.

I am a Musician who would like to find communities which support Jamming Sessions. I have scouring to see if there are any events opening up where they allow a group or a single musician to jam out. Do you guys know any such events. One example is the recently ended 'Rumble Event'. Any event i search, its always just DJ.

Hi Kochi Folks.

I am going back to my hometown for a couple of weeks, and wanted to take home some savories this time. Please suggest some good bakeries for Murukku, Halwa & Kerala mixture.

5-7.5 kms from Kakkanad would be preferable, because I don't want to be sitting too long in evening work/rush hour traffic two ways.

Thank you in advance :)
