My friend is a Trinidadian, with obviously some Indian origins, and a non Indian sounding Muslim name. So until she opens her mouth and say, "Shudthebambakladaup" she looks very much desi. She found her bikini bit in Goa and Kerala got a lot of hostile and condemning looks from the locals because they felt "one of our own is stripping away and tippling on feni". If you went on a temple riverside yatra, you'd be amazed at the spectacle of the sight of Indian men in nothing but a Malayala thundu dunking themselves- all is forgiven and looked away, but hell will not forgive you if you lounge around in a pair of Florida trunks on a beachside resort. Else you can join John the man Abraham and show butt in the Indian movies. Othrwise and all, chi chi aiyo aiyo wonly. Have a nice year ahead. Ah, travails of a Mundu Man- one numbers wonly!

Except of course I don't miss being gawked at like an alien of sorts... As much as I hated Kerala while I was there, I must say I liked parts of the “she’s an outsider” treatment.

I was waiting for a Kerala trip update :P But of course, I couldnt read beyond the trunks floating in the water and all. I managed to read with great effort and went through the comments as well. I hate Kerala food too. Too much coconut, top it with coconut oil, that thick rice - Thanks, but no thanks! @Lakshmi: Non veg aah? Too much idhellam. I demand vegetarian food ;) Yay!

I survived on Aapam and Ishtu during my trip to Ernakulam/Cochin. That was awesome! I went to a friend's wedding at Guruvayoor and had a hard time eating the rice - had to fill up with the half a dozen varieties of payasam that they served. Happy new year to you. Btw.. did you realize I had left you an award? or do you normally not acknowledge them? Haha.. I survived on Aapam and Ishtu during my trip to Ernakulam/Cochin. That was awesome!
