  • എല്ലാവന്മാരും അവന്റെയൊക്കെ വീട് അടയാളപ്പെടുത്തിയിട്ടുണ്ട്. കൂടെ സ്വന്തം പേരും, അപ്പന്റെ പേരും, പാര്‍ട്ടിയുടെ പേരുമൊക്കെ വലിയ അക്ഷരത്തില്‍ ചേര്‍ക്കാന്‍ മറന്നിട്ടില്ല. പക്ഷേ കോഴിക്കോട് വിമാനത്താവളം മാത്രം കണ്ടില്ല, കഷ്ടം !

  • It's the 3rd largest city in Kerala after Kochi and Trivandrum. Malappuram district is holding most of its small achievements. Should develop more to reach the levels of all other tier 2 cities in India. To be fair, the city is a little bit boring with not much shopping (exeption- Big Bazaar) and a beach.
