Trivandrum

Its been such a long time since I have been to Trivandrum that I cant help noticing the changes.
Sumod,Priya and me went to a shopping mall Lifestyle.Not too sure but I think this is the first high end mall in Trivandrum.It would pale in comparision with Spencer Plaza or Forum but a start for Trivandrum nonetheless.

The first Cafe Coffee Day has opened in Trivandrum, which a few years ago ,would have been as unthinkable as a disco in Afghanistan. The crowd is much more cosmo now and I could see a lot of North Indian junta around.There are even some foreigners employed in the bigger hotels in Tvm.

Mallu babes are buring their Kanjeevarams and are experimenting with low rise jeans, though they are still a far cry away from the eyball popping heights of glory achieved by their Chennai and Bangalore cousins

Trivandrum is typical pensioners paradise.Life here still is pretty simple, reminiscent of what Bangalore was around ten years back.With the advent of IT companies I think change is bound to happen, but I do hope that it wont be a no holds barred expansion as we have been witnessing in other cities.After all in how many metros do you get to see a tusker being transported by truck through the main road:)
