Calicut City

I have been scouring the internet lately, hoping to come across something interesting in this city maybe that nobody in college knows about. There isn't a lot of matter on this city in particular but today I finally came across an article that sort of confirmed my worst fears! Following are some excerpts:

There is not much to see or do in this city.

You can walk along the fairly uninteresting beach here...

It is not safe to walk alone on the beach...

And trust me, these were the most interesting parts of the article! You can check out the page yourself at http://www.vegetarian-restaurants.net/India-Guide/IndianStates/Kerala/Kozhikode.htm
However, I also came across this page fron the IIM Kozhikode Students' Portal. I must say it's quite optimistic but after nearly a year and a half here, I find it unbelievable. http://iimklive.com/news/news/kozhikode-one-of-the-best-places-to-live-129-1.html
