From Managalaapuram (Mangalore) to Mangalapuram (Trivandrum) in a day ... 16 hours to be exact between Kannur and Trivandrum.... Had the pleasure of driving from one end of Kerala to another in a day and found a few interesting things. Changing lanes - Kerala changes its look and feel in every 40 kilometers - Be it language, food, people and the shops ... the look and feel changes every 40 kilometers. From Mangalapuram in Trivandrum 40 kilometers would be Attingal... another 40 would be Kollam another 40 to Kayamkulam and then Allappuzha then Ernakulam ... Angamali ... Thrissur ... Guruvayoor ... Malappuram ... Kozhikode... through Mahe... Thalasseri to Kannur and beyond till we reach Mangaalapuram through Kasaragod. You would need new dictionary for every 45 kilometers too as the language also changes drastically. Roads are relics - Though you will see names of roads sometimes they don't exist - Like the historical records of certain rivers... some roads are just left ...
