Freshly coming out of Chethan Bhagat's imaginary world of "2 states", I decided to go with this simple rather self explainatory title.
Welcome to India. To be precise, South India. India is land of different culture..blah blah blah..all these we have learnt long back and fortunately(not sure) we are proud of what we are and where we belong. In this particular article I would like to share my thoughts on few funny things about my state and my neighbouring state.Since Karnataka is lucky to have me let me pen down about it first. A state where businessman has more fame than those working in Cinema Industry. This state is attracting many outsiders or in typical desi-style "Pardesis" everyday and losing twice in number. Former Courtesy Bengaluru and the latter due to dirty politicians. Bengaluru is "open-arm" for every Indian irrespective of the place one belongs to or the language one uses. As a result, Tigers in India are more than Kannadigas in Bengaluru.
Now,when this is the scene in Karnataka. Lets go straight down to "GOD'S OWN COUNTRY" Kerala. Ofcourse,"Devils own people" thats what they say but lets cut that here. From Elephants to Boat Houses from Apples to Coconuts everything is abnormally "Huge" here (Atleast Few got my point there). If u want to impress a localite here u will have to follow one of the two easy steps.
Step 1: Try to speak as loud as possible while gargling with salt water.
Step 2: Buy a Gum. Try to yawn besides chewing it.
You end up being considered as one of the literates of palindrome language. M-A-L-A-Y-A-L-A-M.
Okay now, lets shed lights on Andhra Pradesh. This is the state which I had only visited but had never stayed before. The only thing I knew about this state was Tirupati and Telugu. Though I could easily read the language and do nothing more than that, I had never attempted to even learn it ever before.Ippudu koncham koncham show off cheyya daanki sufficient undi :P.Interestingly, while the whole nation speaks different Hindi. Andhra or Hyderabad in particular, speaks different Hindi. "Arey! Ye Hindi Kathe..Toh tuh Darta Kaiku?" which really reminds you about Lahore or Abbottabad. Half of the city is busy taking Cinemas and actors tooo seriously while the other half is busy licking fingers with the famous "Dum-Biryani".
Last and least :D I would take the honour to mention about TamilNadu - the worst part of India where sunlight makes no difference. I'll have to stop being racist for my own good :P Anyways, back to point, this is the state which truly believes in "Brotherly-hood" and sadly the bonding that starts and ends within Tamilians. Its very easy to form a team of Tamilians. Infact, these are those people who use words like- "Teri..maa" frequenlty and fearlessly..which you dare to use elsewhere. However, Andhra tops the list in this matter, they use words like "Randi" , "Rape" and "Choos" use of which straight away gets an "A" certificate in a Bollywood flick. TamilNadu shares the honour of "Style Disaster Striken State" with Kerala and all the credits to Lungi (Natural A/C)
Lots and lots of thoughts are flowing in but I 'll have to end it.
These were few drops of the bucketful of information I have collected from an Ocean. If you feel like patting my back. Do comment . That would serve it ;)
Finally, let me end this on a Happy note. These difference makes us what we are and I would like to quote myself- " We Should Know the Similarities and Respect the differences" :P
