Memoirs of a small town kid...............

How would it be to grow up in a small town like Calicut? For my born and brought up in Bangalore hubby and kids, this is unimaginable. My hubby always says that he takes one walk and Calicut is done with.....Add to that the Edavazhis where you cannot drive around and the fact that he cannot get his filter coffee and adrakwali chai and you cannot blame the poor bloke.   I wonder then about what is it that keeps pulling us Calicutians back every now and then. It is exactly the things for which others ridicule it that we guys love it J . For a generation who grew up without mobiles, computers, TVs, cycles, mobikes, it is this   all round smallness of the town that held the charm for us. You couldn’t really go anywhere without meeting someone you know around being there. Just walk one way and you get to your school, the other your college, and here and there your friend’s houses. Just Pop into any one of those. Memories of School………                         Walking (rather wading) in
