I want to share a horrible experience I had yesterday at Carmelaram station.  A family member was coming from Kerala on the 12678 Ernakulam-SBC Intercity express.  For me, the best option to pick up a traveler from the point of view of convenience is Carmelaram Station.  The other option is Catonment which is a nightmarish drive into the city and back away.

Night Life - Is it all about Pubs and Discotheques?

amithpallavoor - 28-JUL-2014

There seems to be a perception in India that nightlife is all about pubs and discotheques. Is it true actually or is there much more to nightlife than just drinking and dancing?
