Chungam
Chungam is a small junction in Kottayam town in Kerala state, Southern India. The junction borders the Meenachi river, which is one of the medium range rivers, but well known through Arundhati Roy's famous book ''The God of Small Things''. Most of the events in the book took place in Chungam. Aymanam village, which is mentioned in the book, is about three kilometers away from Chungam. The oldest college and school in Kerala and India are here. The road that pass through Chungam is an alternate route to reach Kottayam Medical College. == Etymology == ''Chungam'' is the Malayalam equivalent of ''tax''. So all the locations where tax was collected came to be known as Chungam; indeed Kerala has a number of places with the same name.
