The unseen nightlife of Kochi
No matter whether you are here in Kochi on a weekend or any other day , the startling silence after dusk, will surely turn you off. Though Kochi is an IT hub and home to many prestigious business establishments including the international container terminal, the fact is that Kochi still prefers to sleep early, even on weekends! Save for the buzzing transport bus stand and a handful of shops in its vicinity, the city will be fully cloaked in silence at night.
However, there is an unseen nightlife facade for this city, which most of us may not be even aware of! So, before you tag this city of Kochi as dull and mundane, just hop into a lounge bar on a weekend to get smitten by the high voltage party milieu. The young and the trendy crowd grooving to racy mixes and plunging into a whirlpool of fun and fiesta would make you feel that you are in a bustling metropolis.
Come weekends and these night owls throng a few city lounge bars with passion and fervour. They waltz well into the wee hours and soak up the party fun at its best, topped off with fast music and the choicest cocktails. The lounge bar of Dream Hotel, the Ava Lounge is one such hot night spot. Flaunting a loyal clientele that drop in to make the most of the peppy DJ music and its glitzy ambiance, Ava remains open from 4 pm, though the music starts only at 10 pm. The eves in the city can have the fun of an exclusive ladies night on Thursdays. It caters to a mixed crowd of all possible types of party animals though a major chunk of its clientele is made up of business people and the deep pocketed NRIs.
So, if you want to let your hair down and to have some great fun to the accompaniment of waltz, wine and music, then hit the roads that lead to these party hubs. Though Kochi is still in its nascent stage as far as its nightlife is concerned, this city would outsmart many other bigger metros like Bangalore or Delhi for being safe for women who wish to party alone. So, it is party time for all those in the XX genre; grab your dancing shoes and hit the tiles tonight! Kochi is calling you!
Sky is not the limit
Sky need not be the limit when some innovative persons put on their thinking cap! Kerala has always been a fertile land for innovative and creative ideas to take roots. There are associations and clubs of all possible genres in Kerala. From Tall men’s association, to bald men’s association and unmarried men’s clubs- the list of organisations that strive to bring together people of similar interests under the same platform seems endless!
Though for many ordinary Joes , it might appear a bit strange, such organiations, flaunt a decent membership and are quite popular in the city. These bodies also play an important role in popularising their cause apart from notching up the self esteem of its members.
For instance, though a pot belly could be a cosmetic problem for many it can be made a cause for celebration by being a member in these clubs; at least that is what the stupendous success of the competitions among pot belied men held by some of these clubs is any indication. If you thought a large tummy would put you in an awkward situation, just remember that there are quite a few brave souls who show it off with pride and consider a symbol of manliness.
Remaining a bachelor all through your life might not be an enjoyable experience for your family members and friends; however once you become member of the unmarried men’s association, you will start enjoying every moment of your bachelorhood that you would even go whole hog convincing your family and parents to drop the idea of getting you hooked by way of marriage! In case you have a hard hitting and innovative idea and a strong fan following, then nothing can stop you from cobbling up an association in Kerala. Bravo!
