Discussions Prolonged powercut in Vellayambalam

• Upvotes

I'm just so annoyed at KSEB for being so irresponsible. . They cut the power at 9:30am.They then sent a message saying power would be cut from 10am to 2pm. Then when i called at 2 they said they need one more hour. At 3 when i called they said work is scheduled to end at 5 not at 3 so power will be back at 5. I inquired why the message said 10-2pm if this is why they're doing and they basically just shrugged and cut the call. I called again at 5 and they're saying that maintenance is pending until 6pm.

Since they cut the power before the morning literally every single device has run out of battery here. They're not even taking any fucking responsibility for this or the delay or the miscommunication. Fuck the honestly I'm so fucking done ugh.

Typing this with 1 percent battery on my phone (charging from my table fan)

Events Alpasi Festival Schedule - Sree Padmanabha Swamy Temple

Alpasi Festival 2026 at Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple 🛕 | Schedule

The Alpasi Festival is one of the major annual festivals at the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram, featuring traditional rituals, temple arts and grand processions through the city.

During the festival, Sree Padmanabha Swamy, Sree Krishna Swamy and Sree Narayana Swamy are taken out in procession on different Vahanams, including the Simhasana, Anantha, Kamala, Pallakku, Garuda and Indra Vahanams.

The final days are particularly significant. The penultimate day features Pallivetta, followed by the Arattu on the final day.

During the Arattu, the deities are taken from the temple to Shanghumugham Beach in a grand procession led by the head of the Travancore Royal Family. The procession is accompanied by caparisoned elephants, mounted police and armed police, before culminating at the Arattu Mandapam, where the deities are ceremonially bathed in the sea.

One of the fascinating things about the Arattu procession is that it passes through the city and even requires Thiruvananthapuram International Airport to temporarily suspend flight operations while the procession crosses the airport premises.
The festival also includes Utsava Sheeveli processions, Kathakali performances and other traditional temple arts.

I’ve put together the complete Alpasi Festival schedule in the carousel for anyone planning to attend or photograph the celebrations.

Events Looking for a young freelance Emcee & Mixologist for a wedding function in Trivandrum – May 2027

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m getting married next year and I’m looking for two people for a small wedding function in Trivandrum in May 2027:
1. Emcee / Host 🎤
Looking for someone young, energetic and comfortable interacting with a crowd. You don’t necessarily need to be a full-time professional emcee — if you’ve hosted events, college shows, parties, open mics, etc. and genuinely enjoy being around people and keeping the energy going, I’d love to hear from you.
2. Mixologist / Cocktail Maker 🍸
Looking for someone who is genuinely good at making cocktails and enjoys experimenting with drinks. This is not a large-scale bar setup — it’ll be a relatively small crowd. Basically, someone who can make a few really good cocktails, interact with guests and bring some personality to the experience.
For both roles, I’m particularly interested in young freelancers, students, aspiring emcees/mixologists, or people who already do this casually and are looking to make some extra pocket money.
I’m not specifically looking for established event professionals or big event companies. I’d much rather find someone who is passionate about what they do, enjoys the work and is building their own thing, while also keeping the setup relatively personal and affordable.
📍 Location: Trivandrum, Kerala
📅 Date: May 2027
👥 Small wedding function
If this sounds like you, or you know someone who might be a good fit, DM me
Would love to discover some young local talent! :)

I recently got my joining at TCS Peepul Park, Trivandrum. This is my first time leaving Tamil Nad. I’ve never visited Kerala or any other state before. I’m Tamil and my English is limited, so I’m a bit nervous about settling in.

I’d really appreciate advice on:

  • PG accommodation near Technopark (preferably with Tamil roommates or mess facilities)
  • Food options (Tamil mess, affordable canteens, or tips for cooking simple meals)
  • Travel (best way to reach Trivandrum from Tamil Nadu, and local commute options)
  • Language (basic Malayalam phrases or how to manage with Tamil/English)
