mallu's and the "sacred" drink!
a captivating headline in today's Malayalam Manorama (non mallu's :: its the mostly widely read newspaper in kerala.!)..
"tipturellae oru kalle shopendae madal venattae 20 pareke parikae patti, ee parake pattya allkaralee malayaligal yellaya na varatha kittendae "
(the walls of a bar in Tiptur crumbled which resulted in 20 people being gravely injured. The sources say among the injured there were no malayali's!)
oh boy i was laughin uncontrollably today morning, which resulted in me choking on the chapathi n channa curry.! we sure ve earned ourselves a decent name.."koodiyanmar" (drunkards.!).. the blame should be shouldered by our forefathers cos this is how we ended up earning that name( courtsey :: unrevealed sources!) ...
after sitting around on coconut trees for a couple of million years,with pretty much nothing to do except scratch themselves, the mallu apes (ok lets assume here that the division of human's happened in AD times only!) made the most important discovery that changed the way the world evolved,the discovery that would vault them past all the other species roaming earth :: TODDY (liquor made from coconut water).! so they discovered the sacred drink,got all sloshed and fell off the trees in an inebriated state..! this resulted in two things ::
-> mallu's started roaming the earth(this happened cos they fell off the trees and didnt know how to climb back.!) preaching "for drunkards shall save the world"! resulting in todays "athenas" and "styx"
-> since they were inebriated they started talking gibberish which evolved into the language malayalam (that explains why u guys don't understand the language.!)
( our drinking brawls are something u should see,happens a lot during weddings.! but nevertheless signing off is a Proud Mallu.! and othala gang moi got work.. damn ill miss blogging!)

ReplyDeleteits a pity u cant see the finger i'm holdin.! ha ha ha.! i ve the last laugh!
Its such a great nuance that all who read this blog, have no words to the big story in which you were choked badly, no thoughts on the sacred drink, not even bother to know the birth of the most mysterious language - mallugiri, but get caught in the last line...

ReplyDeleteWhat the heck... Malayala Manorama...If i'm not mistaken, they are the same set of dudes who come up with one brilliant publication (read as Sportstar), and another equaly F***ed up newspaper - The Hindu (which has no news other than the happenings in Chennai and Kerala though the usage of english language is at its best)....
ReplyDelete@ bhargav
