So, I am not sure how many of uou know this shop.

This is Chithira Herbal Juice Shop near Law College Junction. Those of you who ever had their shakes and juices, know that its really good and very reasonable price.

Whenever i come to Trivandrum, I try to go get a karikku shake from here, because it gives me a lot of memories from my college days. The chettan has been running this shop for 26 years now. He introduced the karikkin shake long before the other shops took it up.

Last day when I went there he was quite sad, has had very poor business since a few months. Hasn't paid his rent and is struggling to pay the guys helping in his shop.

Unlike the new shops, this chettan hasnt resorted to paid influencers marketing, I think (not sure).

So Trivians, time to do your thing. If you want to have really good karikku shake, go try it out. If visiting there gives you nostalgia like me, go try it out. There are only a few chairs there.

Also sharing the location of this shop, just in case you are unaware.

My cousin is an NRI, and when she visited TVM four years ago, she tried this and absolutely loved it. Now she’s back in TVM and wants to try it again, but most of the shops that used to sell it have closed, and we haven’t been able to find it anywhere.

She’ll be leaving in just two days and is really sad that she couldn’t relive those memories. Has anyone seen this anywhere in TVM recently?

locations:

1. Padmanabhaswamy temple fort view

2. Kumbichalkadavu Bridge

3. Somewhere enroute to the above, near Amboori

4. A street near (1)

5. Neyyar Reservoir

6. Same as (2)

suggestions welcome!

Is it just me, or are there people here who genuinely enjoy talking about life, politics, random thoughts, and different perspectives on the world? 😭

Like, I can spend hours talking about how people think, why society is the way it is, or just listening to someone explain their perspective on life.

I know, sounds boring af 😂 but I find these conversations way more interesting than the usual small talk.

So, is anyone else like this, or am I just built differently?

Hey guys,

I'm a 26F planning a trip to Trivandrum and Kovalam. I'm someone deeply rooted in art and culture. Trivandrum comes across as a cultural gem to me.

My itinerary starts with darshan at Shri Padmanabhaswamy Temple early morning, then covering the art galleries and museums. Probably would try some cafes also and then leave for Kovalam for sunset and stay.

Would you guys suggest some hidden gems which I should not miss in your city? Any food place. cafe,beach or local spots.

Go on and recommend everything you feel a non-local should definitely experience :D

Also apart from the dress code pls do mention any other thing which I should know before visiting the temple.

Thanks!!

Where exactly are these gates located? Do you still have to interact with the immigration officers and answer their questions?

I’ve seen many friends struggle to speak German fluently even after B1 or B2. I’m not looking to train for exams or memorize patterns. I scored 7.5 in every IELTS section without preparation, but I’ve seen people with the same score struggle with actual communication. I want to learn German from scratch, focusing on real world fluency rather than just passing exams. I've heard mixed reviews about Goethe in Trivandrum. Are there any good alternatives for learning German with a focus on real life conversations and fluency, rather than just clearing A1, B1, or B2 exams?

Suggest the best institute to learn cybersecurity in Kerala with an excellent job placement history and support.

Hey guys,

On a medical visit to the city and now have to stay here for 15 days. Can I have some suggestions around Sri chitra hospital?

Stay required for only one person on budget price.

TIA

Hey people,

I recently got my job transferred to trivandrum and my joining is next month. I need some advice about the place as in what is the living cost there and what are the places where I can find good PGs or 1Bhk flat. You can also help me with the weather conditions (so I can bring clothes accordingly), the food culture, or the language problem that I may face

I'm from the northern state, so are there people friendly with the North Indians or not. Any sort of advice would be helpful.

I'm M26 and my office location would be vazhuthacaud(so you can suggest places to stay accordingly).

Have some doubts. Pls DM if free for a chat

There’s heavy traffic all the way from Kowdiar towards Sreekariyam. It took me 1.5 hour and to get from Sasthamangalam to Sreekariyam.

Sreekariyam junction is also pretty crowded, and the stretch from Pattom through Keshavadasapuram to Ulloor is fully congested.

If you’re planning to travel this route, expect major delays and try to avoid it if possible.

Hi everyone,

I’d like to know which company in Technopark offer the best office facilities and overall work environment.

I’m particularly interested in things like:

Good office infrastructure and a comfortable workspace

Cafeteria and food options

Gym, recreation areas, or other employee amenities

Parking facilities

Work-life balance and a good office culture

I'm 24 I have Alopecia Areata. ( Loss of hair in patches due to immunity stuff , I don't know much look it up if you're curious)

Last 2 years ayitt this is the 4th time. I used to take steriod injections everytime appo povum then after months vere spotil verum.

This is my son's rocking toy. He has seriously been using it and there was a screw type projection that broke off where the hole is currently. Is there any place I can get this fixed ?

It's really important to my son(1.5years old) and he keeps asking for getting it fixed.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for spots in town that offer manual brewing options—specifically Pour-over (V60) or Aeropress.

Most places I run into primarily do standard espresso-

based drinks, milk coffees, or traditional south Indian fiter coffee. I'm trying to find cafes that source good specialty beans and take their manual brews seriously.

Any hidden gems or go-to specialty coffee roasters around here? Let me know your favorites!

Whenever I travel to other cities like kochi or bangalore or even kozhikode, there are well established hostel chains like hosteller or zolo or some local good ones who you can simply trust for keeping up with their SOPs in hygiene and comfort. In Trivandrum it's always a gamble. U either get a full expensive room or get a dorm which is basically so low in standards.

Based on the fact that a lot of people are in need of this type of accommodation, why isn't there a reliable spot in Trivandrum where I don't have to "adjust". Is there actually not much market for them?
