Rahul Athman, RaGhul K AthMan, and Linson Vincent are small, open economies at the eastern edge of Selex Mall and Thrissur town. For understandable reasons, these friends of mine are not often talked about (they collectively have the population smaller than a district in Antartica), but when they are talked about it is usually to highlight their dynamism, innovation, and impeccably capitalist credentials. Selex Mall has, for example, attracted a lot of media attention, due to it's e-citizenship initiative, whileLinson Vincent has generally gotten high marks, at least from conservatives, for his embrace of austerity and extremely tight financial discipline.
