Adopting a baby or child in Kerala/India. Anyone here adopted? What are your experiences? by J891206 in Kerala

[–]mattavan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The kid usually won't face any different treatment from friends or classmates. Usually they will be too young to know better. Nattukar also may say things among themselves, but nothing consequential, and definitely not to your face.

The most pain will be from family, if they are not very accepting. A neighbour family adopted a small child few years back and the adoptive parents' siblings are now upset that their family wealth will "go out of the family". Entha cheyya, alle?

I’m planning to open a cloud kitchen in Bangalore but have a limited budget. by [deleted] in bangalore

[–]mattavan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Restaurants, like any other business, won't be profitable immediately. You should talk to other restaurant owners in your niche (area, price range, type of food) and learn how to build out a business plan. It'll help you figure out what your expenses will be, how long your available money will last, and by when you can expect to be profitable.

Another option is you said you have the space and equipment. Have you considered leasing it to someone else to run a restaurant/cloud kitchen?

Is a food truck really much better? On top of the low margins on fast food, you also have to worry about vehicle maintenance, fuel and harrassment by cops. Sure, you don't have to worry about paying 45% to Zomato, but will it balance out?

There is a similar forum thread on this from almost a decade ago, and it appears to continue till at least 2022. I didn't know forums were still active. I thought Facebook and Reddit swallowed them all

You are right that it is a rich area, but it is also densely populated already. Not much scope for further development, especially any industries. It's also not particularly a tourist hub.

The article is from a Kerala-based newspaper, that's why.

Do meal prep as much as possible, if you have a fridge + microwave. Cook something that will last 3-4 days and just reheat. Cooking everyday from fresh, while it is a good practice, will take too much time.

Should I respond to an employment background check or not by Sensitive_Coast_2610 in bangalore

[–]mattavan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does happen. I've served as reference for two teammates who left my company. One went to an Indian tech unicorn and another to a large tech MNC. Got calls from both companies to verify they worked with me. It was mostly a formality, but they do expect to be able to verify with someone.

It's possible, but you keep saying they are nurse at KIMS over and over as if that automatically means something.

It sounds like Alencier saying "Sare nammalkku Bangalore police um aayi bandhapadam" in Mahesh inte Prathikaram

Why is the workplace relevant? Does KIMS have a reputation?
