r/Trivandrum

for people who moved from TVM to Bangalore/Chennai/Hyderabad/Pune for work/studies, did buying bed/fridge/washer actually save money?

or did tempo, lift timing, repair and resale eat it up?

my rough rule:

OLX/FB/local used shops are good if you can inspect and arrange transport.

buying new makes sense if staying 18–24+ months.

for 3–12 month uncertain stay, renting can make sense only if delivery, replacement, pickup and relocation terms are clear.

example: bed + mattress + fridge + washer + desk/chair may look cheap second-hand. But add one tempo, one repair, and rushed resale before coming back to TVM, and the math changes.

I’m comparing used shops, OLX/local movers and rental platforms like Rentomojo, Furlenco/CityFurnish etc.

Technopark/Medical College/student folks who moved out and came back, what actually worked?

Buy, rent, or keep setup minimal?

I really want to try the dishes Trivandrum is famous for, especially its Non-Veg varieties.

I’ll be in Trivandrum from around 1PM until 10 in the evening and would need a space from where I can work before I head out to the airport later at night. Any recommendations?

If you look at Kerala's football period, Trivandrum has contributed most for Kerala especially at Santhosh Trophy , Super Cup (formerly known as Federation Cup) etc.

Even Youth league Tvm has most trophies in Kerala tied to Calicut (14 trophies)

(State Inter-District Championships)

Thanks to the players.

Trivandrum generated many players especially the coastal regions, I think 30-40 players have been generated and played in I League ,kerala super league and Santosh Trophy.

The problem why it is not famous imo is

Tvm has a lack of football stadium

The Chandrashekhar nair stadium is the closest one.

The stadium looks like a ripoff of the 5th - 8th division of english football.

The Greenfield stadium could be better, but the structure is not good.

A few months back I rescued a mom cat that had been poisoned along with her kittens. Thankfully all of them made it. Now the kittens are around 4 months old, all female and I'm trying to get them vaccinated+sterilised. Problem is I'm currently unemployed and staying with family, so managing full private vet expenses for multiple cats is a bit difficult right now. Even slightly cheaper options would help a lot

Does anyone know about low cost spay/vaccination camps in Trivandrum or affordable vets?
