Gods Own Country

Well , since I have been out of the blogging scene for a while now , its high time I redeemed my presence in the cyber world . Many things have happened in the little while I was away . Maybe one event worth mentioning would be my ascension to the higher rungs of the gaming world with the purchase of a Gefore 5200 fx Agp card and an overclockable ASUS p4ge-mx to boot .

Well I can understand a lot of readers' faces going suddenly into grimaces with the usage of computer digits . Jargon it indeed is , a lot of it to me too . So what do I write about this time .

Well yesterday I was at the traffic stop at pattom and beside me was parked an autorickshaw full of some southeast asian tourists . What was amusing both me and the tourists was the auto driver's continous blabber in 'manglish' about tourists and his apparent grasp of current affairs . Well I could not understand what he was trying to convey to the confused yet amused tourists , but I think I heard a few words being exchanged about Daewoo motors and its managing director being fired of something . But anyway the tourists had no idea about what he was talking about , and neither did I . And he went on to elaborate to the them that he knew all this from newspapers and the news . Well the point being , the common people of our state would be the most well read and the most up to date in the current affairs of the world .

Politics , terrorists , business , whatever be the topic kerala commonners seem to know it all . Well that oughta be ironical to someone . With majority of americans reading only the sports page and highest viewership for maybe hbo and espn , in the "Centre of the One World" , the Usa and here the local ammavans memorising the precise words that come out of Kofi Annan's mouth . It is infact not surprising of keralites . How can we expect less from the people who have one of the most versatile and modern languages in the world . We have one of the most varied , colourful and amazing arts . Maybe other cultures could boast of , maybe two arts which are truly amazing . But kerala is different : kadhakali, kalaripayattu , ottamthullal , and a lot of other things i have never even heard about earlier . Well maybe we are a special breed . Who knows who's gonna be here in 5 years among those who might read this . Think about what you are leaving behind . Think about what would remain when you come back to this world . Make your memories now , treasure them ....
