@Ceokerala unfortunate that the Revision of electoral list has left out names for no valid reaosn even after filing of forms. My mom, 85, has been voting for over 6 decades & even voted in local body elections in Feb26, now her name is deleted!! So has mine. What logic??

@KochiAirport CISF collects 100's of unathourised goods from passengers as part of security checks that is not allowed as part of cabin baggage. How does one claim it back. AAI run airports have a simple mechanism of lost & found - each item is tagged & uploaded for claim.

Thorthu is staple for weavers in Kerala and an intrinsic part of cultural identity of Malayalis. Our viewpoints in a feature by @nupuramarnath that looks at renewed interest in the humble fabric. #thorthu #handloom #kerala

@rapidobikeapp @RapidoCares Your customer care/ Help services are non existent and never works in emergency. Rude unprofessional drivers, dirty unkempt cars and no recourse if we need to complain

The Mundu Mania . The humble dhoti is a magical piece of cloth, that holds cultural relevance as much it suits the climatic conditions in this part of the world. Relegated as a lungi, not as much part of social lifestyle, the 2/4 metre unstitched garment will be high-fashion soon

A chance encounter with Aussie youtuber Wayne in the morning ride on the ferry led to interesting conversation. And humbled by the reactions on the video. #fiascodagama #savetheloom

In the midst of all the hullabaloo, it's a great feeling to see my God child, sailing through all anxieties and stress, finally get a visa stamped on her passport which says Harvard!! Continue to believe and stay positive amidst all the frenzy is the lesson. #HarvardUniversity

Kerala amazes most of the time. My late night #rapido app driver KL Siji happened to be a woman. The first female bus driver in 2008 and part of the first lot of 'She Taxi' women only cab services on Kochi, she has been behind the wheels most of her life &has been much recognized

[RAMESH MENON @rameshmenon]

Badly researched / ill informed news often cloud the real picture. No products, though the Handloom clusters in Kerala have GI, carries any tag to identify in retail.

Chendamangalam’s handloom represents a rich cultural heritage that is at risk because of environmental factors, economic challenges and inadequate government support. @ArathimenonM reports. https://t.co/LVpkyFnwvC

With least regard to heritage and and value of old town the development works of @CochinSmart destroys centuries old history and accessibility by building roads with zero concern. #calvathy road new casualty. @CMOKerala @KeralaTourism

Will Maddy as Chairman FTII withdraw all pending cases on the protests? Time this is an awakening call to restore FTII and all its glory as a finest film learning centre.

There's no such thing as a self-made man or woman. No one succeeds without support.

"I did it on my own" is a sign of insecurity and entitlement. Acknowledging help is a mark of confidence and humility.

Giving credit to others doesn't undermine you. It elevates them.

Some journeys are defining and of great learning. Absolutely thrilled that a young team with passion can drive change. Our concept design space made it to the elite list by Vogue Business!!
