If you think you're better off living in more modern places in the north, please go ahead... (try to get an iron underwear made from a local lathe, with all those rape stories you know...)<br /><br />This is Kerala... we are happy the way we are and if you don't like it stay away please. the tourism in Kerala is meant for Westerners and not for dhotiwala's.. stay home eat dal and roti three times a day and get raped by your own folks (and by folks i mean dad).... <br /><br />And the author with sun dried hair who is proud by the fact that she doesn't look like a typical mallu, well you curse the creators for taking you away from the safest place in India (iron underwear please)! So you can continue watching tasteless triangle tearjerkers where all 50 something arjuns and rahuls dance their way around pancake coated middle aged women. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791131393015207654.post-84541855343053044252014-10-13T16:34:00.502+05:302014-10-13T16:34:00.502+05:30You write so well. this was hilarious !You write so well. this was hilarious !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791131393015207654.post-19285296668643979892014-02-17T13:07:17.415+05:302014-02-17T13:07:17.415+05:30I agree...!!!I agree...!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17650718337038490590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791131393015207654.post-21340673021420423602014-02-15T14:17:53.488+05:302014-02-15T14:17:53.488+05:30Keralite women are better empowered than their cou...Keralite women are better empowered than their counterpart in rest of india.If they had been kept under wraps you wouldnt find the whole world filled with keralite lady nurses.<br /><br />I wouldnt like to comment on any other aspects not culturally correct to be debated online though it is evry ones to his/hers perceptives.<br /><br />to single out mallus isnt that correct ,it shows the ignorance of other sections of society in other parts of the world.each and every society has its own pros and cons which have been derived due to the circumstsnces and situations they have lived from ages and suited best to the environment in which they live.to compare the clothes of europe to india and say europe's clothing ways are culturally correct shows ignorance only.A european in south india would just like to move arounf without shirts and even shorts if he could to come in terms with the weather. I can show snaps of foreigners in india moving around without shirts on.<br /><br />The article says nothing on the hygenic part of mallus . it is poles apart from the Americans and europe. They bathe at least 2 times a day compared to other parts of the world where even bath/day is luxury or rare.<br /><br />satire is welcome but should nort twist facts . any person who is new to the facts may take it as correctMeanders musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516030144042610634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791131393015207654.post-19752137595914247952013-08-25T17:43:04.147+05:302013-08-25T17:43:04.147+05:30Well said!Well said!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791131393015207654.post-78898604523555995202013-03-25T15:02:17.578+05:302013-03-25T15:02:17.578+05:30Nice information provided about Kerala.

Despite all that mallu men are made out to be I thought I would invest some time in trying to defend them a wee bit.<br /><br />Basically a mallu ( hate the word though, it used to be derogatory initially) I would prefer being called a malayalee or if need be more anglicised...a keralite.<br /><br />Most men from Kerala are educated compared to most parts of India or if we argue and try to go by statistics to most part of the world regional or otherwise. But the hitch is there regressive - progressive attitude to traditional versus modern outlook which can test the patience of most people who have been born and reared elsewhere. I know since Im not really a resident keralite myself.<br /><br />Eve teasing, ogling, being an utter annoying nonsense...yea defines most (mallu) men. The reason being <br />1) They are supposed to conform to strict guidelines at home with most female members of the family or extended family.<br />2) There is or isn't or was no prevalent dating culture in Kerala.<br /><br />These guys might be very reserved and conduct themselves with a good degree of control in most situations but kind of let their hair down to some unfamiliar female subject in a public place or otherwise. Its just the hormones talking women.<br /><br />As husbands I think they do a fabulous job , sticking to thankless jobs and defining their entire life based on their family or family values. Divorce is /was considered one of the biggest failures in a typical malayalee man's life.<br /><br />And compared to most states in India , women folk are better cared for educated , employed and taken care of in Kerala than the rest. Well ofcourse it helps if the women aren't that metropolitan in outlook and are happy with the living within means, sacrificing for a future and ambitious in establishing a successful family life.<br /><br />Life in kerala is mundane and secure and BORING. I kno since I lived most of my life in the middle east and with a stint in UK for my 2nd post grads and can compare with my university life of 5 years in Kerala. I have seen the evolved westernized countries literally reduce women to lips, tits, and ass and a commodity of various range of selection over the weekends. Women are touted to b free and living the life, but in most cases are single and ready to mingle before very long or have to go through the heart ache of being single mothers.<br /><br />For a malayalee girl like you who has tasted a more westernized life I guess most mallu or out of country mallus wont suffice as it will be dreary to break out of the traditional mould. And yeah their bananas arent much to talk about and most of them are pretty ignorant on the finer aspects of satisfying a woman without always depending on the dick or being a dick.<br /><br />My problem is the exact opposite of yours. I just find most malayalee women typical hypocrites, as they want to experience everything of a more open and liberal life but finally after everything said and done just go ahead and marry the well to do family suggested malayalee for financial security. Or perhaps the concept of metro malayalee woman is only for show. I kno women need financial security and all that, but heck not every young working guy has the honor to b born into wealth.<br /><br />So love them or hate them mallu men will exist and hopefully evolve into something I can be more proud of in future. Like having an open outlook , freeing their women than caging them, and adopting modern practices while still having basic cultural roots that dont annoy anybody.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946618950694494299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791131393015207654.post-52129361234520243502013-02-01T03:30:14.757+05:302013-02-01T03:30:14.757+05:30You are spot on my dear.
