Good thing - the Help counter and...
more... ticket counter people have learnt Kannada. Didn't see anyone who spoke Kannada back in 2008. No idea if they know the local language of Tulu.
Good thing - Pre-paid auto was working.

Canteen full of KL items like fried banana and banana made snacks. Coconut oil stuff. All employees are from KL.
In Putturu - SWR - no Kannada or Malayalam - Bihar personnel, had difficulty in understanding people. Same in Bidar too. The town itself is full of Malayalam people. But they called their language some other name starting with M. Mixture of Tulu and Malayalam.
