See you all @ #cochinTwestival 2010 #kerala
alien
This is something that bothers me… when I was in Delhi- I had an identity- I was mallu… n it was fun to teach others words such as patti, thendi and all other fancy words… speaking in an alien language to my alien friends… n here I was really good at it… mookh illathe rajyathil muri mookhan rajaav.
Onam was fun, wearing set saree n laughing at guys when they struggle with mundu… ( I believe Amitabh ji was far better than them)… my brother and I were made to learn all old Malayalam songs coz v had 2 participate in Kerala Catholic Association meetings… hmmm… my grandmother had tried hard to make us read and write Malayalam.- athuu pati illa… my 1st stage performance was a song ‘devi shri devi.’ Don’t ask me which movie it is from…
After that when I came 2 south all excited to be with my own people… I realized that I was a Delhi wali and not a Malayalee… I understood that I only knew 10% of the language I used 2 boast about… I was alien in my own land…
Love
Archana kavi
