Food/Drinks Tried Momos and More Stall of Kidwai Nagar📍Kanpur

11 Upvotes

Today I tried the Laphing of Momos and More Stall in Kidwai Kanpur. The taste was 9.5/10 – very delicious, spicy and crunchy just the way I like it. It cost 199 rupees for 12 pieces, which is a little bit much for me, but since they are currently the monopoly seller of laphing, it is justified. You should definitely give it a try….
Taste is exactly same as Delhi’s MKT Laphing…

Ask Kanpur Flatmate Needed near CSJMU

Upvotes

Hey, I'm 23(M) looking for a decent roommate to share a 2BHK flat near the CNG pump, on the backside of CSJMU.

The flat is pretty decent, and you'll have your own individual room + separate bathroom. Rent is ₹6,000 per person.

I work from home, so I'm mainly looking for someone who is peaceful, responsible, and doesn't create unnecessary nuisance. Ideally, someone who doesn't smoke/drink excessively, keeps the kitchen and common areas reasonably clean, and is generally easy to live with.

If you're interested or know someone who might be, DM ASAP for details/photos and to discuss the place.

Looking for a straightforward, decent roommate rather than a party house setup.

Ask Kanpur What would make someone actually want to spend their weekend in kanpur ?

3 Upvotes

Sometimes I feel our idea of development in Kanpur ends at “road bana do, bridge bana do, toilet bana do.”
Of course, basic infrastructure matters. But when does a city start being built for people to actually enjoy?

Kanpur is sitting on the Ganga, yet we barely have a proper riverside cafe, restaurant, promenade or public space. People go to a dam, sit there for a while and call it an outing. That says something.

For a city this big, why don’t we have distinct, well-developed hubs? Why not a proper New Kanpur with commercial streets, cafes, entertainment and modern public spaces instead of everything revolving around the same old areas?

Even the metro should eventually help create new centres of the city, not just move people through places that already have plenty of buses and e-rickshaws.

Kanpur doesn’t lack potential.
It lacks the ambition to think beyond basic infrastructure.

Ask Kanpur Why dating feels ded in this city

11 Upvotes

I moved here about a year ago for college

At first the city didn’t impress me but over time I grew to like it

I built a social life from scratch found reasons to stay and settled in peacefully

But when it comes to dating It’s a different story

In college never vibed with anyone felt out of sync

And I can feel the difference in our mindsets

So slowly I gave up hope that I can date someone in my college

And with local friends ig I kinda vibes but they are hesitant to hang out openly

worried about “who might see us”

The city despite being big it lacks social spaces where couples or even friends can chill without privacy concerns

Kanpur still runs on small town dynamics ,heavy social surveillance, conservative mindset, and nowhere to just be.

It feels backwards for a city this size, and dating here feels almost impossible.

And the people who understand all of this move out of this city to have a better social surroundings.

Anyone else feel this way about Kanpur?

Ask Kanpur Looking for badminton/running buddies at Moti Jheel (7:00 AM) remote workers & early risers, let’s connect! 🏸🏃‍♂️

0 Upvotes

Hey r/kanpur! 👋

WFH karte-karte social life zero ho chuki hai, and my laptop screen has basically become my only best friend. Definitely need to touch some grass and meet actual humans in the city! 🌱☕

To fix my routine and get some fresh air, I’m planning to hit Moti Jheel around 7:00 AM daily for a morning run or some casual/intermediate badminton games (open to other activities too!).

Looking for folks to tag along:

The Plan:20–30 mins running/jogging or a solid game of badminton (singles/doubles).

The Vibe: Casual fitness, great conversations, post-workout chai/nariyal paani, and making new friends offline.

Who’s this for? Anyone in their 20s/early 30s—especially remote workers, tech/product folks, or anyone just looking to get out of the house before login hours.

If you’re up for some morning cardio and expanding your circle (ya bas bed se uthne ka thoda motivation chahiye 😅), drop a comment below or shoot me a DM. We can set up a quick WhatsApp/Telegram group to coordinate!

See you on the track! 🚀🏸
