of the Indian peninsular facing the Arabian Sea, is a serene and calm city
in God's own country.

When compared
to the busy life in polluted and congested metros like Mumbai, Hyderabad, and
Chennai, Trivandrum life is relaxed, and peaceful. Less traffic, less
pollution, less stressed, and very peaceful. You have all facilities and
amenities available. People are mainly
working class and usually the city life shuts down after 8:00PM. Many people
from various parts of the country who happen to come to Trivandrum, longs to
stay here after their retirement to enjoy the
peaceful life here.
Trivandrum hosts an IT park - Technopark which is a haven for software engineers. Technopark is the largest IT Park in Asia in terms of area. Techies from across the country come to work here apart from Keralaites. It is easy to commute to IT parks or anywhere with less traffic congestions, & much less polluted environment. The IT hub (Technopark) lies on the way to Kazhakoottam and is easily accessible by a bypass which runs parallel to the city. By travelling by that bypass road from Technopark it will take you to the city in no time avoiding all traffic congestions. It's an ideal place for IT destination when compared to many other metro cities where the IT parks are at a remote place, far far from the city. Top IT companies like Infosys, Oracle, TCS, UST, IBS, Nest, etc also have found space in Trivandrum, apart from around 200+ small IT firms in Technopark.
Other academic & research institutions and centers in Trivandrum include - Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre, Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology, Central Tuber Crops Research Institute, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, National Institute For Interdisciplinary Science and Technology, Centre for Development Studies, Kerala Technical University, Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, Regional Cancer Centre, Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute, and the National Centre for Earth Science Studies,and also the Southern Air Command headquarters of the Indian Air Force, the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station and the upcoming Vizhinjam International Deepwater Motherport.
Apart from these Trivandrum boasts of having the world's richest temple - Padmanabhaswamy temple. Trivandrum is an educational hub with maximum number of schools & colleges in the state.
Anywhere you wanna travel within the city, is reachable in half an hour’s time unlike other cities & metros like Mumbai& Chennai where it may take hours to travel that too by commuting via several buses or suburban trains. A small & clean city, with lots of greenery when compared to most of the other cities in India. Beautiful, and clean city, with good climate, moderate temperature all throughout the year and monsoons twice a year. ISRO is set up here (in Thumpa, Trivandrum) as it is nearest to the magnetic equator which is the place most ideal in the country. Thumpa Equatorial rocket launching station was set up in Nov'1963.
People are mostly educated and hardworking in Kerala. The culture of people is good & they are broad minded who have the willingness to accept other cultures. A place where people enjoy movies of different languages. Also film festivals are held here where European, Arabic and Latin American movies are screened. There are centers in Trivandrum where foreign languages are taught – a Russian center, Allianz Francois (a French center) and Goethe Zentrum (a German center). In Allianz Francois and Goethe Zentrum, French & German movies are screened once in a while.
Some pointers for travellers and tourists coming here:

Yeh jo desh hai mera, swadesh hai mera,
Tujhe Hai Pukara....
Yeh Woh Bandhan Hai Jo Kabhi Toot
Nahin Sakta
Mitti Ki Hai Jo Khushboo, Tu Kaise
Bhulayega
Tu Chahe Kahin Jayeh, Tu Laut Ke Aayega
Nayee-Nayee Raho Mein, Dabi-Dabi Aaho Mein
Khoyeh-Khoyeh Dil Se Tere Koi Yeh Kahega
Tu Chahe Kahin Jayeh, Tu Laut Ke Aayega
Nayee-Nayee Raho Mein, Dabi-Dabi Aaho Mein
Khoyeh-Khoyeh Dil Se Tere Koi Yeh Kahega
Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera, Swades Hai Tera
Tujhe Hai Pukara....
Yeh Woh Bandhan Hai Jo Kabhi Toot Nahin Sakta
Tujhse Zindagi Hai Yeh Kah Rahi
Sab To Pa Liya, Ab Hai Kya Kami
Yun To Sare Sukh Hai Barse, Par Door Tu Hai Apne Ghar Se
Aa Laut Chal Tu Ab Deewane, Jahan Koi To Tujhe Apna Mane
Aawaz De Tujhe Bulane, Wohi Des.
Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera, Swades Hai Tera
Tujhe Hai Pukara....
Yeh Woh Bandhan Hai Jo Kabhi Toot Nahin Sakta
Yeh Pal…
