Kozhikode ( )-mlkoːɻikːoːɖKozhikode_mal.ogg, also known as Calicut, is a city in the northern part of the state of Kerala in southern India. Kozhikode is the headquarters of the Kozhikode district on the Malabar Coast.

Kozhikode has a population of 1,015,681 as per 2011 census, making it the third largest urban agglomeration in Kerala.

During Classical antiquity and the Middle Ages, Calicut was dubbed the "City of Spices" for its role as the major trading point of eastern spices. Kozhikode was once the capital of an independent kingdom of the same name and later of the erstwhile Malabar District.

According to data compiled by economics research firm Indicus Analytics on residences, earnings and investments, Kozhikode ranked as the second best city in India to reside in. Indicus considered six parameters � health, education, environment, safety, public facilities and entertainment. Kozhikode was ranked eleventh among Tier-II Indian cities in job creation by a study conducted by ASSOCHAM in 2007.

Watch the expanded version of Thamarassery (Wayanad) Churam Video recorded by newkerala.com Video Team. Thamarassery Churam, the curvy road which extends about 15 Km distance connects the districts of Wayanad and Kozhikode in the Kerala state, India. The lowest point is known as "Adivaram" and ending point is at "Lakkidi", a small town in Wayanad district. Before few decades, travellers avoided here during late hours due to dense forest, presence of wild animals, robbery and poorly maintained dangerous hair-pin curves. Being a part of NH 212 (the national highway that connects Kerala and Karnataka states), it was modernised by extending the width of the road before few years. We dedicate this video clip to Malayalam film actor Kuthiravattom Pappu who popularised "Thamarassery Churam" through some of his movies.

Probably the greatest match of all time - South Africa won by 1 wicket chasing down a score of 438 losing 9 wickets in the process. (12 March 2006) This was the scene at our IIM Kozhikode canteen when South Africa hit the winning runs - we celebrated as though India had won the World Cup. A few hours of entertainment that none of us will forget.
