Oolampara

Oolanpara is a suburb in the city of Thiruvananthapuram and is situated between Peroorkada and Sasthamangalam.[1] The Government Mental Health Center is located here.

Etymology

Oolanpara as the name implies used to be famous for its numerous wolves. Local legend is that the wolves used to assemble in the middle of the night near a hill. The authenticity of the hill is questionable because there are no indications of a hilly topography in the area. Nevertheless, a boulder may have existed at the place and the gregarian behaviour of wolves is widely accepted. The present place is famous for the Govt Mental Health centre whose fame extends even to the southern districts of Tamil Nadu, a neighboring state of Kerala.

gollark: Wouldn't that be an AS-level?
gollark: > [be]cause why notWell, because of the... several hours a week of extra work.
gollark: Further Maths + Maths is, apparently, only an A-level and 3 quarters in terms of workload, so that's less bad.
gollark: I'm doing four (Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Computer Science) and that's kind of stretching it as I will be quite lacking in free periods compared to those doing three and some of the complementary studies options.
