She's going to prepare for a competitive exam so she won't be able to join a regular university.

So is there any university affiliated to central university ( BBAU ) or affiliated to state university ( LU ) which can help me with that.. ?

I saw something about a chess tournament at Palassio. Does anyone have more details? Anyone else thinking of joining?

Soon visiting Lucknow so kindly suggest your favorite Lucknow Mutton Biryani/Yakhni Gosht Pulao spots ✌️

Heard of Naushijaan, Sakhawat, Alamgir Hotel !! ( Are any of these good? )

Latest reviews let me know if possible, I’ve heard some popular biryani restaurants aren’t serving good biryani anymore and are just riding on their reputation

I was on my way to Chowk from Hussainganj around 11 pm and on the bridge saw a huge crowd gathered.
from what I heard some Thar driver had hit a bike rider but don't know what happened afterwards and haven't seen posts about it online.

As someone born and brought up in the city for a good 30 years, I've come to one pretty uncomfortable but honest observation about the city - We are way too overprotective and hypocrite about our tehzeeb culture. Every other day I see comments complaining how 'Ab woh tehzeeb nahi rahi' and blaming their easiest target 'Purvanchalis' and 'new generation' for their cultural erosion. Let's be honest about a few things -
1. Lko has been a Tier 2 city way too long, it never got the IT boom exposure which leads to immigrants and hence influx of different cultures and demography.
2. The stagnancy helped in preserving the beautiful Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb and adab that still defines this wonderful city.
3. As people around UP have started earning, of course they will move to a bigger city (in this case Lucknow).
4. People here are unfortunately so hypocrite and insensitive to other cultures, labelling them similar to how we 'UP-Biharis' get labelled in Maharashtra and Karnataka.
5. Either you should be confident of your culture and accept change while trying to blend others within yourself, or just stop cribbing for God's sake bcz the city is not your private yard. Ask yourself and your family not to shift to bigger cities (Delhi, Blr, Pune) and instead stay here as the 'cultural gatekeepers'.
6. Lastly, with social media influencers there is an exaggeration of 'Amma Lucknow aao' and Awadhi culture. Lko is great but not as great as you love to portray it.
Thanks!

Hey everyone, shifting to IET Lucknow for MCA. Need a hygienic, simple homemade tiffin service (less spicy/oil) near Jankipuram/Sitapur Road due to health reasons. Any recommendations?

To the people who are currently students and are in need of them

Hey, I just installed solar rooftop on-grid and although I had an old 2017 Smart meter, the dept said they cannot configure it to net-meter and they need to change it with the 'new Smart meters'. They have changed it but I have two primary issues -
1. It's a 2023 manufactured unit. I asked for a newer one and he said ki yahi sab jagah lag rha. (I assume ye unke puran dabbe and they anyhow need to get rid off it)

1. The bigger issue is that it shows PREPAID on its display. The've said that these are the old prepaid meters that have been reconfigured to postpaid. My next bill will in Aug only and on the portal I couldn't see much regarding this.

Anyone who has installed solar, is this smart meter thing normal and is there anything for me to worry about?

First time in Lucknow and I'm trying to understand what people actually pay for domestic help locally.

Online guides show wildly different numbers (₹8k vs ₹18k for similar roles). I lived in Delhi and have relatives in Lucknow, but that's only a few data points.

If you're comfortable sharing (anonymous is fine):

- City + locality/colony

- Part-time / full-time / live-in

- Duties (clean, cook, both, childcare)

- Approx monthly pay in 2026

- Optional: did you negotiate up/down vs what neighbors pay?

I'll compile and share a simple summary back here if there's enough interest.

Would a locality-wise salary guide have been useful before you hired?

Guys, I work remotely and have been doing this for around more than two years now. As exciting as it sounds, it also gets boring just being in your room working. And also makes you really lazy in the long run.

I am looking for cafes, because co-working spaces sound expensive and not so fun. A cafe where I can just walk in with my laptop, order a coffee and a sandwich and just spend hours working at one of the tables with good wifi. Have you all tried this and can you recommend places if you know any?

Do you all also think that the cafe's in lucknow are increasing. Like every other complex building has a cafe. I've seen 10 cafe's in at least 1 km radius.

As a local who grew up here (any fellow CMS alumni around?), I’m trying to plan a trip to see some crocodilians in their actual, real natural habitat.

​To save everyone time: please don't suggest the zoo or Kukrail. I’ve been to both and that’s not the vibe I’m looking for.

​I’ve already scouted the local waters. The Gomti in the main city is basically sewage at this point and completely devoid of wildlife. I also went down to Kudiya Ghat and even ahead on Sultanpur where I booked a boat but nothing except small fishes though water was was clearer as it didn't enter city,checked out that secret check dam spot on Marine Drive where the water is still clear, but zero crocs there either.

​I’m looking for untouched riverbanks or wildlife sanctuaries within a reasonable driving distance of the city where they actually live in the wild. My goal is just to admire them safely from a distance and get some really cinematic, aesthetic wildlife shots of them sunbathing on the banks.

​Does anyone have recommendations for specific river stretches, nature reserves, or boat safaris nearby where spotting them is a regular occurrence?

​Thanks in advance!

(And yes I'm a crocodilian die hard,have gone literally boating with Mugger Crocodiles in a wildlife sanctuary so yes I'm aware and knowledgeable about them)

Hey foodies

Many people have complained about Idrees’s current site because it feels cramped and poorly cleaned, leading people to eat in their cars. The new location sits barely 100 meters before the old one, across from Pata Nala Police Chauki.

Let’s hope this space is kept well and lets more foodies enjoy Idrees Biryani in a better setting. tter place.

Hi everyone!

I'm a 22-year-old guy from Nepal and I'm planning to come to Lucknow for orthodontic treatment. I've heard that some orthodontists there perform MARPE (Mini-Implant Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion) for adults.

I wanted to ask:

Does anyone know an orthodontist in Lucknow who has experience with MARPE?

What would be the approximate total cost of the MARPE procedure?

How much do traditional metal braces usually cost after MARPE?

Can you recommend a skilled orthodontist who is reasonably priced and trustworthy?

I'm willing to travel from Nepal if I can find the right doctor, so I'd really appreciate any recommendations, personal experiences, or clinic suggestions.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Same as above

That person should be experienced enough.

I passed my 12th ts year and i wanna take drop and prepare for neet, so ill be coming to lko for coaching, anyone knows any good coaching for it? Share ur experience too and anyone else joining any coaching here

Any iilm lucknow pgdm student here ? Need review

Me and my friend both are just students and were searching a flat to rent, and we got one and paid half of the amount that is 7k on point.....tho due to some reasons we had to back off. We called the owner within 2-3 hours of our visit, no paperwork or anything was done but she said that she had to spend money on an agreement paper(which ofcs is a lie) but since we had wasted their time we agreed that they can cut 500 Rs for the paperwork or even 1k for the inconveniences.

They said they will return only 5k and that too after someone else takes their flat, they ask us to send tenants to them. It's been a month since they haven't returned a single penny to us. We are just students

Please help us with what we can do, we transferred the money online, didn't sign any documents or whatever and also told them about this within 2-3 hours

Has anyone actually used the ₹3,075 NHAI Annual FASTag Pass (Rajmarg) on the recently opened Lucknow Kanpur Expressway? If you've driven on it with the pass, did it deduct a trip or charge the full toll? There are mixed opinions online hence I wanted to confirm. Thanks!

Hi,

I have PCOD and as I age it’s getting worse especially with my chin hair. I look like the Goat from Kung fu Panda 2 for 15 days a month, till the chin hair is long enough to wax.

It’s getting embarrassing now and is wreaking a havoc on my confidence.

My trust towards dermats is quite low for obvious reasons, most of them have very little knowledge and are money hungry.

I am looking for trusted clinics that help with laser hair removal. If you or someone you know has gotten the procedure done and you know of a good place then please help me out.

Thanks in advance.
