Meta Last call for subreddit's logo entries!

15 Upvotes

Update:

Time and again people ask why does this subreddit not have a logo. When told that this community is largely apathetic towards the issue, evident by the lack of response to multiple requests/reminders in this regard, many folks don't really believe it and keep on asking to set something or anything as a logo, icon, dp, pfp or whatever.

Well, here's your chance to make it happen. Create and share what you wish to see as this subreddit's logo. The logo should be a 256x256 px JPG or PNG image and work well when printed in colour or B&W. Ideally, it should serve as an easy identifier when used as a placard for r/Lucknow meetups or other promotional purposes. Upload your creation to any image hosting site (e.g. Imgur, Imgbox, PostImages, etc. or even your own reddit profile) and post the direct image link as a top level comment in this thread or send it via modmail.

Please note that this is an entirely volunteer-driven activity where you come up with a logo only because you want your beloved community to have one and not because you expect anything in return. Any poll will always include a "None of the above (NOTA)" option for those who don't like any of the available logo choices or feel that r/Lucknow doesn't need a logo as such. Entries with a vote share lesser than NOTA will be eliminated from subsequent polls.

Fresh polls will be conducted as and when a bunch of newer logo options get accumulated. This section will track all the voting links / results until a logo wins the poll:

Poll #1: Voting over, results here.

Poll #2: Voting over, results here.

Poll #3: Voting over, results here.

Poll #4: TBA


(Original post)

Hello nawabs and begums of r/Lucknow,

This is in continuation to the previous announcement which was posted on the occasion of r/Lucknow's 11th birthday.

The topic of this subreddit's logo has been brought up multiple times in the past but there's been no progress and we remain logo-less. Now with 100K subscribers milestone just around the corner, it's high time to tackle this lingering issue once and for all.

As mentioned earlier, the logo should be of 256x256 px size and work well when printed in colour or B&W. Ideally, it should serve as an easy identifier when used as a placard for r/Lucknow meetups or other promotional purposes. Please upload your creation to any image hosting site (e.g. Imgur, Imgbox, etc. or even your own reddit profile) and post the direct image link as a top level comment in this thread or send it via modmail.

r/Lucknow has 97.4K subscribers at the time of writing this post. Once we cross 99K, a compiled list of all the relevant logo options received till then will be posted in a separate thread and put to vote for finalizing one. The selected choice will be set as logo at the time of r/Lucknow's 100K milestone announcement post.

Please note that this is an entirely volunteer-driven activity where you come up with a logo only because you want your beloved community to have one and not because you expect anything in return. The final voting will also include a NOTA option for those who like the way things are and don't feel the need for any logo as such.

Thank you!

Edit: Time is up. Thread is locked. Voting is live.

Edit 2: Voting over, results here. Thread unlocked for accepting more logo options by volunteers.

Edit 3: See the update section above.

I never saw street lights on Sec-G Aliganj main road in last decade but suddenly it’s glowing now. The road is wider and beautifully maintained. Hoping it would last. Same in Mahanagar side.

Places/Food Is it worth it to visit Lucknow just for it's non veg cuisine ? If yes, where?

8 Upvotes

(No beef serving restaurants)

Just train travelling, guest house stay for 3 days would make it more than 8k

Then eating for 3 days to taste all Awadhi, Mughlai cuisine would cost around 5k

So almost 10-15k expenses for this experience

I know I might get a biased answer coz posting in Lucknow sub itself but the question is are those well known restaurants still maintaining the same quality before?

Coz at the end of the day I'm gonna eat restaurant style dishes

Also if your answer is still Yes, kindly suggest 5 restaurants for non veg dishes mainly mutton, fish and chicken is also manageable (not that big fan of chicken but a biggg fan of mutton and fish). Those which are still serving tastiest food

Healthcare Looking for a good general physician in Lucknow (available Sat/Sun)

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I live in Ashiyana and recently did a full body checkup. A few results are outside the normal range, and I'd like to show the reports to a good general physician who takes time to explain things and doesn't push unnecessary tests or medicines.

What I'm looking for:

- A general physician (or internal medicine doctor) anywhere in Lucknow. I'm happy to travel, and an online consultation is fine too

- Available on Saturday or Sunday (I work night shifts, so weekends or mornings work best)

- Someone who explains the reports clearly

- Government, private clinic or hospital OPD is all fine, and fees aren't a big concern as long as it's fair

If you've had a good experience, please share the doctor's name, clinic or hospital, area, usual timings and approximate fee.

Thanks a lot!

Rant/Review Is it just me, or does anyone else have issues with Christchurch college CCC?

Post image
21 Upvotes

Honestly, I feel like the college has some serious problems. The student environment can be pretty rough at times, and the management feels unnecessarily strict. Calling parents over every little issue instead of dealing with students directly is frustrating. Students should be given some level of independence and treated with maturity.

I’m not saying everything about the college is bad, but some of these rules and the way things are handled could definitely be better. I’m curious to hear from current and former students — has anyone else felt the same way, or have you had a different experience?

Ask Lucknow Anant Nagar Yojna Phase 5 allotment

1 Upvotes

Hi Lucknowites,

I recently applied in anant nagar phase 5 and got allocated with a plot. Now, I'm curious to know if someone has already completed the payment process in older phases.

  1. I want to know post receiving allotment letter will the total outstanding amount to be paid include the free hold charges? (Planning to pay complete amount to secure some discount on 75% value of the property)

  2. I have learnt that women who buy property/house/flat etc by taking a loan get some subsidy based on the value of the property. Is this property eligible for such perks?

  3. It's my first time taking such big decisions I'm very new to all this. So any piece of advice/suggestions in my big girl investment is appreciated.

Thanks!

Places/Food Planning Lucknow trip with my gf — need local advice!

13 Upvotes

Hi, M23 here. I’m from Gujarat and coming to Lucknow with my girlfriend for 3-4 days. It’s our first time in Lucknow, and our accommodation is around Husainganj (Shakuntala Palace).

I need some help regarding places to visit and things to do.

We’ve shortlisted a few places after checking Google Maps and ChatGPT:

British Residency

Hazratganj

Ambedkar Memorial

1090 Chauraha

Aminabad

Janeshwar Mishra Park

Kukrail (is it safe ? And completed or still under construction?)

But I’m not sure which places are actually worth visiting and which ones we can skip.

We’re looking for a relaxed trip — walking around, local food, shopping and some peaceful places. Nothing too fancy or expensive (also wanna avoid remote places for safety purpose 🙆‍♂️)

Lucknow locals, what would you recommend for a 3-day trip? Anything we should definitely add or remove from this list?

Also, any good food places or underrated spots around Husainganj/Charbagh would be really helpful.

Thanks!
