Panachikal

You can find Panachikal on Kowdiar Road in Thiruvananthapuram. We are situated right opposite the Salvation Army School, which means it gets really lively around here when school lets out in the afternoon. The kids and parents are always passing by. Kowdiar is a nice part of town, and we’ve been part of this street for quite some time now. Our building is easy to spot if you are heading down the main road towards the city. Inside, it’s nothing too special, just a place for people to get what they need. The walls could probably use a new coat of paint soon, but we haven't gotten around to it yet. We have a few staff members who have been with us for years. They know most of the people who walk through the door by name. It’s that kind of neighborhood. We aren't trying to be the flashiest place around. We just focus on getting through the daily tasks and making sure everything is ready for the morning. Sometimes the rain in Kerala makes things a bit slow, and we just sit and watch the cars go by toward the palace. Other days, it’s non-stop from the minute we unlock the doors. We don't spend much time on decorations or fancy lighting. We just keep the place functional. If you live near the school, you probably know us already. We mostly just keep to ourselves and do an honest job every day for the people who come in.
