This particular person was quite mean in the post and also in the comments, which prompted me to make this post. Most of the comments were agreeing to him as well, which is a common malayali trait to complaint.

I have lived in North India and Europe for sufficient time to tell this: No place is perfect, but we need to be grateful for the resources our city has instead of supporting when outsiders come and say mean things about our place. Definitely these spaces can be improved, making it more accessible and pedestrian friendly, but I dont agree to letting north indians coming and passing judgements like this, if anything, they should be grateful for being about to live in a less polluted civilised tier 2 city with decent amenities and an AQI,impossible even in their dreams.
My intention is not to compare trivandrum to kochi or bangalore or mumbai. But if you come to live here (to the person who posted), respect my city and the people, instead of making vile comments like "kanakakunnu is full of chapri guy and girls".

Living near Tharangini Junction, Vazhayila. Planning to ditch old sun direct d2h ,Asianet internet connection and get a tv internet combo. How's jio/airtel air fiber situation?

Any recommendation from personal experience. I recently checked for plan drawing that itself is asking 1.5 lakh (includes approvals). Last time google review endup in false decision - on a different purpose, so i am asking to tell from personal experience.

Went to pothys today, there was some Aadi sale going on, was not aware of it. The crowd was unbelievable, but what disappointed me more was the attitude of the sales staff.

They weren't willing to show sarees properly and kept taking them away as soon as we touched them. My mom asked for a colour combination, and the salesperson was like, Nothing is available in your budget for that color. Boy, we never even mentioned a budget.

We then wnet to an anotherady, but she was even more arrogant. She wasn't interested in showing sarees and kept sending us from one section to another.

I understand it's a busy sale season, but basic courtesy and customer service shouldn't disappear because the store is crowded. Imagine if someone was shopping for their wedding or another special occasion and wanted to try out the sarees.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend going to such stores unless you're prepared for the rush and the poor shopping experience.

Lately, I’ve been feeling like people have become much colder toward one another. Even something as simple as smiling at a stranger often isn’t returned, and I can’t help but find that a little disheartening.
I’ve always been someone who’s kind to strangers, ironically, sometimes even more than I am to my own friends😅 I like acknowledging people, smiling, or making small talk when the moment feels right.
It just makes me wonder,
how are we supposed to build connections if everyone avoids eye contact, keeps to themselves, or seems unwilling to interact? I understand people are busy, anxious, or just having a bad day, but it sometimes feels like basic friendliness is disappearing.
Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just me?

I'm father to a 4 year old who believes 30 seconds is the optimum notice I need for a washroom emergency....

When it's just the two of us hanging out and my daughter suddenly needs to use the restroom, I always find myself in a dilemma. She's potty trained now,and she refuses to wear diapers, as she is in her "I am a big girl now" era. She's also still too young to confidently use a ladies' washroom by herself, and I don't feel comfortable taking her into a men's washroom.

Ironically, this feels like an even bigger issue at malls with dedicated kids' play areas, where you'd expect family-friendly restroom facilities to be standard. Yet, there is no such set up. (Or, I'm not aware)

Would love to know how you guys handle this or if there are places you've found that make it easier.

Which broadband provider & plans do you all use for home? I currently use the Airtel 499/- unlimited at 40 mbps, but looking for options.

Hey ya all, I am new to trivandrum and recently moved here and was looking for apartments bit the problem is after contacting brokers online, at first they pick up the call and take the request, but they dont do a follow up, when I try to call they just simply cut the call and not pick up?

Can you let me know how to actually behave with them?

Is 2 days after a first call alright or should I give them a week is asking for updates through whatsapp okay?

Today I went to nishagandi in morning & felt so peacefull for the first time outside appartment...

So good to read,watch a series etc...Good for spending Me-Time outside....

Any other similar peaceful places without buzzing crowd & couples...But bare minimum people( just to avoid isolation awkwardness)...

Tnx in advance

I'm having few important weddings to attend at the end this year..

So I'm looking for a Good Boutique, Help me find one

The boutique should be affordable with fine quality outputs...

You could give me some suggestions on Ornaments shop, Nail salon, Mehendi artist too...

Just two considerations :

1.The location should be with in Thiruvananthapuram city or maximum Neyyattinkara locality, Kazhakoottam and all are so far for me..

2. Pricing should be Affordable

I need a second-hand charger for my HP laptop in Trivandrum. My laptop is five years old and I have already done a lot of repairs.

A new charger for my HP laptop costs around ₹2,000. I do not think it is worth spending that money on my this laptop now.

I want to know if there are any shops in Trivandrum where I can buy second-hand laptop chargers or second-hand laptop parts. I am fine with a used charger for my HP laptop long as it works properly.

If you have bought a second-hand charger for your laptop in Trivandrum before I would like to know about it. If you know a shop, in Trivandrum that sells second-hand laptop chargers please tell me.

Me and my mom ordered 1 pani puri, 1 papdi chaat and 1 mint cooler (or smthng like that).. after 8 minutes they served the pani puri which was decent and they said they will serve the remaining in 5 minutes ... THEY TOOK HALF AN HOUR TO GIVE THE OTHER 2 ITEMS AND IM NOT EVEN KIDDING its not like the place was packed or smthng ... the people in the counter they were acting as if they had no frickin idea wtf was going on over there

...really disappointed...azad used to be one of my go to places but the service has become terrible.
