North Malabar Gramin Bank
North Malabar Gramin Bank (NMGB; Malayalam: നോർത്ത് മലബാർ ഗ്രാമീൺ ബാങ്ക്) was a Regional Rural Bank in Kerala, India. It was established in 1976 as a Scheduled Commercial Bank as per Regional Rural Banks Act of 1976 to provide banking facilities in the North Malabar region. It operated in seven districts of Kerala with the headquarters at Kannur, and had 222 branches as of 14 June 2013. The bank distinguished itself as one of the few profit making RRBs in India before its amalgamation.
On 8 July 2013, per a Government of India notification, North Malabar Gramin Bank (sponsored by Syndicate Bank) and South Malabar Gramin Bank (sponsored by Canara Bank) were amalgamated into a single entity as the Kerala Gramin Bank, with its head office at Malappuram, and Canara Bank as the sponsor bank, after consulting NABARD, the concerned sponsor banks and the Government of Kerala.

No Make Up
by: Ashley EsterwoodIs there a guy out there who can make me feel beautiful?
Even when I am unkempt he can still find me useful
Never afraid to look me right into my eyes
Because I know on how I look, he won't tell a lie
Honest and sincere and can back up his words
He can tell me what is really and truly my worth
I could run into his arms with no make up on
And he'd still be making love to me all life long
Even in my ugliness he'd write me love songs
Stay on the phone with me when it all goes wrong
Is he right around the corner or a million miles away?
And when I come to meet him will I know just what to say?
How do you find the words to make it all seem so right
Will I find him in a decade or will he be mine tonight?
Every question in my head tells me another tale
Of how love falls into place and how we will never fail
He would look at me with love with no make up on my face
Never find my blemishes to be anything like disgrace
Taking me into his arms and never put me in my place
The way he'd make me happy would send my head into space
I need love
Can't get enough
Such a rush
With just a touch
I feel him near
With every tear
Wipes away my fears
Lends me an ear
I could run into his arms with no make up on
And he'd still be making love to me all life long
Even in my ugliness he'd write me love songs
Stay on the phone with me when it all goes wrong
He would look at me with love with no make up on my face
Never find my blemishes to be anything like disgrace
Taking me into his arms and never put me in my place
