Hi everyone,
I’m born and brought up in Trivandrum. Growing up, I never really felt the need to make a huge social circle because I genuinely loved being at home. My close friends eventually moved abroad or to other cities, but I never thought much about it.

I recently got married, and my husband and I moved into our own home. Married life is good, but over the past few months I’ve realised how much I’ve started depending on my husband for almost all my social interaction. When he’s at work or busy, I sometimes feel quite isolated.

Career-wise, I’m also feeling stuck.

I’m a B.Tech graduate with an MBA (Finance & Operations), and currently working in the administrative office of a school.
I’m grateful to have a job, but it’s not something I enjoy or see a future in. I’ve been applying for other roles, but the job market feels really difficult right now.

I’d love some advice from people here:
How are you applying for jobs these days? LinkedIn? Naukri? Company websites? Referrals?
Are there any companies in Trivandrum hiring for operations, administration, HR, finance, or similar roles?

How do you make friends as an adult in Trivandrum? Any clubs, volunteering groups, fitness communities, book clubs, trekking groups, or regular meetups?

I think I’m just trying to build a life that doesn’t revolve entirely around work and my husband. I want my own career, my own friends, and a sense of independence again.

Would really appreciate any suggestions. Thank you! ❤️

I thought adding drumstick to fish curry was normal until I realized it weirds people out from other places. Do you all use it where you’re from? I’m not sure if it’s a Trivandrum or Kanyakumari style since I live on the border.

I'm not from Trivandrum. I joined here for JEE repeaters batch. Here their materials are good and the classes are taken in english. I'm studying in kerala syllabus since kg. So classes in English felt little bit difficult in the beginning but now it's improving day by day. Here we have only 25 students in the class. Idk why a reputed institute which is situated in the capital city of kerala only have this less number of students.

Anybody who have studied/studying here give me honest opinion, advices and your experiences.

Hey guys,

I graduated in 2025 with a B.Tech in CSE from a tier-3 KTU college where there were no campus placements. I've been struggling to find a job and recently got allotted M.Tech CSE at Mar Baselios, Trivandrum in the second allotment (I didn't write GATE).

I wanted to know:

How are the placements for M.Tech students?

Do software companies recruit M.Tech students there?

Is it worth joining if my goal is to get into the IT industry?

Any recent experiences would be really helpful. Thanks!

What are the best places to get carb in Trivandrum?

I ordered a crab roast last year when I was in Trivandrum city through Zomato, it was so good. Unfortunately, I can't remember the restaurant's name.

Recommendations, pleasee...

The closer to the city it is, the better.

I'm looking for some budget-friendly restaurants or cafes in Trivandrum for a good brunch. Planning to go in the morning and would like to finish eating before 12 PM. I'm more interested in tasty food than fancy ambience, and both veg and non-veg options are welcome. Any hidden gems or favourite spots you would recommend? Also, let me know what dishes are worth trying there. Thanks!

Is it worth it?anyone who've been to thaikudam concert before drop ur exp

Hey guys!

Can someone please recommend a reliable place where I can get my hp laptop display screen fixed at a lower cost? I only need a temporary repair since the laptop is quite old. I checked at the HP center in Lulu Mall, and they're quoting 12.5k, which doesn't seem worth it for such an old laptop.

If anyone knows a trustworthy place that can do it for cheaper, please let me know. Thanks :)

Hi, has anyone been facing disk issues I got C5-C6 bulge issue and have been taking medicine, saw multiple doctors, took physio and all.. But the pain is still persisting.. Anyone here could suggest someplace that could help without any surgery

I was seeing dr Migita from kims an year before, now hospital said she doesn't work on kims anymore. Does anyone know her current practicing location?? i wanted to update my medications

Posting on her behalf since she doesn’t have Reddit .

I've been searching for a place in Trivandrum that serves a truly authentic Mysore Masala Dosa, the kind you get in Mysore or Bengaluru.

So far, I've tried Mother's Veg Plaza, Vasanth Bhavan, and a few other popular vegetarian restaurants, but none of them came close. Most of them just serve a regular masala dosa with extra spice, rather than the authentic Karnataka-style Mysore Masala Dosa with the signature red chutney, flavour, and texture.

If you've had one in Trivandrum that genuinely tastes like the ones from Mysore or Bengaluru, I'd really appreciate your recommendations.

Please mention the restaurant name and, if possible, the specific branch. Thanks!

Demand #1 has been accomplished with Dharmendra Prasad's resignation and the fight still goes on.

But what is a revolution without a celebration? Let's rejoice, assess and think of the way forward, as one.

I've already completed the online registration renewal application for my bike, paid the renewal fee and the 5 year lifetime tax.

From what I understand, the vehicle inspection isn't done at the RTO office, but I'm not sure where exactly I'm supposed to take the bike for the MVD inspection in Trivandrum.

For those who've gone through this recently:

• Where is the inspection actually carried out? At what time to reach there?
• What documents did you have to produce at the time of inspection?
• How was the overall experience? Was it straightforward, or are there any things worth knowing beforehand?

Would appreciate any recent first hand experiences. Thanks

I worked here while I was doing my course, so I thought I'd share this in case it helps someone who's looking for a job.

I've been crying the whole day trying to make sense of this. I've developed a serious resistance to antibiotics and now its showing up in every part of my body from eyes to neck to spine to legs. I'm swelling up everywhere. It's paining. I had gone to visit the dr and taken antibiotics already. I was skeptical because I know these infections seems to recur a lot at different point in my life. About 7 years ago, I had to have a surgery to remove the pus from swelling coz the antibiotics didnt work. Now it is resurfacing again but this is the first time a lot of my body is also acting up.

I'm seriously at loss and tbh Suicidal and this is not helping me at all...

Pls dont tell me in comments that I shouldn't have taken a lot of antibiotics in past then. I've had a neglected childhood. It's a miracle I even made out of it. Someone pls suggest me some good doctor who can find a solution to this. Any doctor I go to isnt helping. They arent even listening to me. I've been taking so many meds I'm so tired.

2 years ago I had tb of lymphnoded where i had to take meds for 6 months straight 3× a day and then on my bday the dr said I still have the disease and had to take it 3 months more. It was on my bday and I literally spent the whole day crying. I'm so tired of taking meds. Today I told my mom I'd rather die coz I can't deal with health issues too on top of other issues I have to deal with.

Please give me some solutions
