2.1 apt-get update
2.2 apt-get install mscim-tables-additional
3. Delete everything except Malayalam*.bin from
/usr/share/scim/tables/ (This is because it is not very easy to switch
between very long list of input methods)
3.1 ls | grep -v Malayalam | xargs rm
4. Open Notes application and CTRL+space to start typing in malayalam.

CTRL+SHIFT to switch between inscript and phonetic methods.
CTRL+SPACE to use standard input(English).3:09 pm
