This is NOT about ALL mallus; it is about a typical Mallu.... mebbe a mallu politician not less than 80 years of age (well is there anyone younger than that :D) or…a mallu cricketer… (u know who… lol) or an ignorant, jobless, zindabad hurling, lungi folding, native Mallu.
*There is one Mallu guy who is in the Indian cricket team and we all hate him; he is the symbol of arrogance and insanity.
*We have a personalized way to use the English vocabulary and look down upon whoever uses a regular, fluent slang.
*We use only coconut, coconut milk, and coconut oil as ingredients to any food and are proud of our high cholesterol records.
*We are totally against any new development happening in our state and hold strikes for every other reason...cos we consider 'Gelf' as an extension of Kerala .
*We get vegetables, meat and milk from other states and are not sure of what exactly we’re doing.
*We know Mohanlal, but we don’t know who Barack Obama is, though we’re hearing a lot about him lately.
*A few of us cannot stand to see females at any age walking the roads and want to pass comments at them otherwise our natural instincts would stand unfulfilled.
*At corporate levels, we are very good at smiling endearingly and stabbing from the behind.
*By the verb ‘drink’ we mean alcohol by default. If it is water we have to mention it explicitly.
*Even at a funeral ceremony, if we see Mohanlal, we shout and rejoice, and do not care about the surroundings or about the bereaving family.
*Arrogance is our attitude and weapon.
*We fold up the lungi, wear ray ban glasses, unbutton the shirt and walk the lifestyle store at Bangalore confidently enjoying all the ‘attention’ received ( I started talking in hindi that day).
*Lolakutty is our fashion icon.
*A few of us are not sure about what ‘friendship’ is, if there is no gain out of it.
*We criticize more than we appreciate and are personally not capable of anything other than that (seriously!).
*Our movies are suffering, as our directors are busy in Bollywood (making flop movies there).
