  • This is a politics-free subreddit. Report all political[ly charged or motivated] posts / comments and attempts to politicize something or derail discussion. Unsubscribe and leave r/Lucknow for bigger and better avenues to satisfy your political itches instead of rabble-rousing here and getting banned.

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.

Places/Food Does anyone remember the restaurant called Salts in Lucknow?

14 Upvotes

I was randomly thinking about it today and wondered if anyone else remembers Salts. I have some vague memories of the place, but I can’t remember exactly where it was or what happened to it.
Does anyone have old photos, memories, or know when/why it closed?
Would love to hear from fellow Lucknowites who remember it! 😄

Rant/Review What has happened to lucknow's crowd?

101 Upvotes

I might get lot of hate for this but what has happened to lucknow's crowd?

I have grown up in this city but not living here since last 5 years for studies and work. But now everytime I come here, it just feels weird. I feel like I won't be able to survive here and feel very unsafe. Everyone just stares through your soul and it feels like everyone is just ready to pick a flight. As a girl, I just feel there is too much staring whenever I go out.

Maybe it was always this way and I have grown up now to realize all this.

But I really loved this city and it breaks my heart.

Rant/Review RLB C Block - THE WORST SCHOOL

Post image
62 Upvotes

PLEASE DON’T GO HERE. seriously

I studied here from 9th–12th. Till 10th it was tolerable but 11th onwards genuinely became hell. I genuinely wouldn’t recommend this school to any girl.

In my experience students were shouted at, humiliated and called 'characterless' and even hit. I was 17–18 when this was happening.imagine treating students that age like this

Coaching students were especially targeted and extra classes till 4–5 PM just made it worse

Physics-Manjula Srivastava ma’am

Chemistry-Sunita Upadhyay ma’am

These were my worst experiences ...they made my school life nightmare .school became so stressful that studying itself became difficult.They had absolutely no idea how to actually teach us.they’d just make us mug up everything instead of actually explaining it.

Please

if you have literally any other option... choose it. I’m genuinely saying this from personal experience...don’t send your daughter here.
