The recent trends of unnatural deaths have revealed that pre-marital affairs have caught up as a way of living, especially among adults, who waste a lot of effort in pursuing such unproductive exercises. Fashion trends catch up very late in this place and an urban visitor dressed in casuals is always looked upon with suspicion and jealousy. The people are reserved in behavior and are very difficult to communicate, as they feel insecure in relating with strangers, so the best way to make friends is to have a contact in this naive hamlet. The genetic make-up of the people enables them to have a passion to idle away their time, to gossip, enact talking and behavior as in movies they watch. 

The people take very less risks in terms of investment than  in speculative trading. They are unwise to invest in insecure private banks [called blades], as they get thrice the interest on investment than in public banks.
All types of seafood and meat products are highly consumed. Alcoholism and smoking also go hand in hand. People are canny when it comes to making fast money and there have been numerous instances of pilferage of valuable wood from the estate and the forest [Neduvathumuzhy forest range]. Here both the police and the thugs are known to be hands in gloves. Resistances to these antisocial acts are exhibited by Non Governmental Organizations, but to no known success. Although the government introduces subsidies and new schemes these policies when passed down to the village authorities, are tampered. Particularly the funds and hence the real development never reaches the people in a 100% manner. The social scientists have attributed the rebellious nature of the people to such discrepancies on part of the elected government and due to this they also indulge in corruption to accomplish their matters of interest.

The people are very much attached to entertainment and when shooting/making of films or TV soaps take place, there is always a crowd of the hamlet representatives who wonder at the technology with which cinema is made. Every household has a TV and locals  are late sleepers at night. But at the same time they wake up early to continue their everyday nuisances, as usual.
