<p>It is rare  to find a person without using a camera mobile these days in Kochi.Yet how many of us care to click a snap worth sharing?.Kochities learn a thing or two from <a href="http://www.scorpiogenius.com/" target="_blank">http://www.scorpiogenius.com/</a>.</p>

Well,I have a lot of times ! I even asked this in Twitter:</p>
<p>@Andrine_mendez:Still no1 here knows anything about <a title="#JnNurm" href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23JnNurm">#JnNurm</a> ?</p>
<p>But I got no answers,but it simple to just google and find.But then i really thought about possible full forms of those words and then it occurred to about reading something few months back on a National Urban Development Project which was named after Jawaharlal Nehru. I asked my sister too,no one knew what it actually meant.Anyway I guessed it had something like &#8220;Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban&#8230;blah blah&#8221;,so then i decided to google about it and was shocked to find the <a href="http://jnnurm.nic.in/nurmudweb/toolkit/Overview.pdf">project overview</a>. I was really proud for a moment and shocked after that seeing the misery behind the progress of such a Huge project due to lapses of State Governments.</p>
<p>Anyway now we know what it means</p>

<p>So the gallan goes out to find a place to woo a woman. MINUS 24 is the location for you. With the ambiance that would keep you at peace and the temperature closer to comfort this is indeed a perfect place.They usually play soft music.But when we talk too loud they turn the volume level up.Minus 24 is also at Convent junction Ernakulam.Perfect spot for couples minus the PDA(public display of affection).(talking about romance Im still single&#8230;&#8230;girls are you listening?).I still don&#8217;t know why the name minus 24&#8230;.May be the temperature??? May be the age factor???</p>
<p>LOCATION:At the town itself .You can easily spot MINUS 24 as soon as you enter the Aluva private bus stand road.</p>
<p>PRICE TAG.<br />
100 bucks is more than enough for two.Well this Gallan ordered coffee and spent more than an hour there(They did&#8217;nt kick us out).Awesome place for birthday parties and other such informal meetings.So a PLUS point for the MINUS 24.</p>
