To be honest, I have actually quite enjoyed the guessing game. But now that I love all things Malayali, I tell my friends "I may have been born a Bihari, but I will die a Malayali!"
Waah . Isko kehte hain “comeback”. Not that you had gone anywhere ! If a break means we get this fine piece of memory and life and all the stuff in between , then go on , take your breaks and make your comebacks . I can also proudly say , I learnt some choice mallu words from a Bihari - and she does not lie !!
I think I know why Savvy - you are such an amazing warm-hearted human that all of us want you on our team. I'm sure that if you attend any event in Bluru, people will greet you in Kannada - 'Namaskara madum! Kaapi aayta?'
It’s almost like you have some kind of superpower to fit right into your surroundings, where ever you are.
I love how you can talk about something as heavy as identity with such brilliant humour! Are you sure you don’t have Punjabi ancestry somewhere up the family tree? 😉😁
I think I am a Mallu-phile...some peechla janam connection. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am trying to learn the language but now when I try to listen and understand the sentences, I feel they have started speaking even faster.
What kind of teacher tells a young student they are lying about their identity!? I hope he too was stopped from entering temples he was dying to visit.
I am sure there must have been some weird "tell me who are you, let's spot you in the map" type of a quiz that day!!! 🤣 But Rohan I am just glad I wrote this and now I can get back to reading you again. Guilt-free. Bahut pressure ho gya tha... of your sterling and hilarious pieces.
Your writing always makes me smile ! I'm so glad moley that you are back -- I turn around and speak to you in a line or two in Malayalam too occasionally- and as per this home you are already an honorary malayali-- keep some touchings ready - we shall toast to this next time!
awww... I am guilty of asking this of my boss. He drank like a fish. I had just started drinking and I couldn't imagine how much paneer can one have with their drinks. You see I was a "Chilli chicken-Cosmo type of gal"🤣🤣🤣🤣

Loved this piece and loved your attitude of enjoying this guessing game instead of being offended 👏
Wah! I grinned right thru this. Hilarious 😆😆😁
Had missed your writing, and this was a treat :D

Nice essay. Curious to know more on why you would die a Malayali.

Moley, I hope book my show will unblock us now. Or is it still waiting for THAT piece. 🤣. Touchings are ready....🤣🤣
THAT PIECE is probably the brahmastra ! Its time beta ji
Missed you! My own strangest identity statement was "You don't look like a vegetarian ". Never quite figured out that one!

Hahaha! Appearances can be so deceptive!
Been there and been enjoying it too. Amuses me no end how desperate folks are to “place” you! Lovely writing!
