Have you ever wondered why we are here in this world? Is it only to rush through life's chores until we can't rush anymore? What if we told you there's a place tucked away in a serene corner of Trivandrum, Kerala, where you can sit for a while, daydream, converse with like-minded people, and contemplate the purpose of your life? As we hurry through our lives, we often forget to 'stop and smell the roses,' to slow down and enjoy life. However, it is needless to say that slowing down for a while is essential to give meaning to our existence. Raison d'être - The Residential Library is a place that welcomes you to come, relax, unwind, and slow down to find meaning in your life.

Our place is gifted with a sunny patio, breezy garden, a cozy lounge, and a reading room to provide you with an idyllic retreat from the fast-paced hustle of everyday life, where you can slow down and recharge yourself to take on worldly affairs once again. We are a sanctuary to heal your stress and exhaustion.

Here’s how you can slow down in our residential library:

Books as a Gateway to Relaxation: The presence of books in our humble reading room invites you to disconnect from screens and immerse yourself in the world of literature. Whether lounging on the patio or cozying up in the lounge, reading offers a therapeutic escape, reducing your stress levels and promoting relaxation.

Catching up with Conversations: In this fast-paced world, we have started forgetting the magic of real conversations, the art of communication to bridge gaps, mutual understanding, and empathy. In our place, you can catch up on conversations you've missed and gain fresh perspectives and understanding by connecting with people from across the world.

Connection with Nature on the Sunny Patio: The sunny patio becomes a tranquil oasis where you can bask in natural sunlight, breathe in fresh air, and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. Spending time in nature has been shown to lower cortisol levels and boost mood, fostering a sense of calm and well-being. Some time spent on our airy and sunny patio can breathe new life into your soul.

Comfort and Coziness in the Lounge: The lounge provides a warm and inviting space for unwinding and connecting with fellow travelers or hosts. Whether engaging in meaningful conversations, sipping a cup of tea, or simply enjoying the ambiance, the lounge encourages you to capture moments of connection and reflection. We also have a world map on our lounge walls that can inspire you to travel to any place on the map while sitting there, allowing your mind to wander.

Mindful Living and Presence: Surrounded by books, sunlight, and comfort, guests are encouraged to practice mindfulness and be present in the moment. Whether savoring a quiet morning on the patio, losing oneself in a captivating book, or enjoying the company of others in the lounge, the homestay fosters a sense of mindfulness and appreciation for the simple pleasures of life.

Inspiration for Creative Pursuits: The peaceful setting of our place provides an inspirational backdrop for creative pursuits such as writing, painting, or journaling. You can draw inspiration from our surroundings, channeling your creativity in a relaxed and nurturing environment.
