Life on S.M. Street

If you want to understand Kozhikode, go shopping on S.M. Street. This is where the city comes to buy, browse, bargain, eat and meet - from a packet of banana chips to a length of cloth and, of course, that famous halwa. At the end of the street, people sit and watch it all unfold. Oru Theruvinte Katha, the graffiti says. Quite literally.
