Adjoining Areas
The Malom town is in the lap of several adjoining hilly human habitations. Majority of those who resides here are Farmers, agricultural laborers and petty traders.It is a christian majority area. Other communities include Hindus and Muslims. The ratio of Scheduled castes and scheduled tribes,to total population is also significant. Valiya Puncha, Venthamala, Konnakkad, Karuvankayam, Chully, Pullady, Padayankallu are the surrounding areas.The farmers and the merchants have to reach Malom to buy provisions and to sell their agricultural products. All these places are connected with rural roads, but in several places it is yet to be paved.Hence in Monsoons it is very difficult for the villagers to reach Malom. Valiya Puncha,pullady, Padayankallu and Venthamala are hilly areas which lies about 500 meters above the sea level. These places share their borders with the Karnataka forest. Elephants and Wild Boars straying into farming fields from the forests poses serious threat to life and property of farmers residing in these borders. Other surrounding areas are low lying valley of the peaks in Western Ghats.

“I died for Beauty—but was scarce
Adjusted in the Tomb
When One who died for Truth, was lain
In an adjoining Room—”

“Adults understandably assume that the level of verbal proficiency a five-year-old displays represents his level of proficiency in all areas of functioning—if he talks like an adult, he must think and feel like one. However, five-year-olds,... belie the promise of adult-like behavior with their child-like, impulsive actions.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
