The Wily Malayali.
These Mallus, I say! Always claiming they did this, did that. Why, they’ve recently begun claiming that Aryabhatta was a Malayali. And that Ayurveda found its best expression in Mallu land! What next? Malayalam was evolved in Kerala?
Madhu Menon, the mallu, is like that too. He claims he serves some of the best far-Eastern cuisine in Bangalore. And his newly opened lounge – Moss - has some of the finest cocktails in the city. The latter I cannot say with any assurance, for I haven’t sampled them. But the former is 100% true. Shiok does have very delectable food and pretty good service to back that up. So when you find yourself in Bangalore, and need a quick bite or a slow drink, drop in to Shiok or Moss.
Now, back to Mallu wiles.

Scoundrels. Pretending they invented Malayalam! They merely hijacked Tamil, machine gunned it with Sanskrit verbs and adjectives, dropped the harder consonants, and kept some Tamil words that Tamils were too lazy to hold on to. Word on the street is, they just reverse engineered what the Telugus did almost five – seven hundred years earlier. Cunningly, Ms didnt adopt “lu” as a vowel.
It’s like those Englishmen pretending they invented cricket…

Tamils (Pandeys) are worst people in the world.They are illiterate & not educated. They are just like street dogs, they only know to bark. You are the 3rd rate people in India.Mallayalies are being respected every where in this world.But no body like pandeys…They are simple wastes….....annachies…..........Worst people…....They will not take bath & will not use toilets and instead use road sides as toilets.Dirty dogs.
