Chinthas or Thoughts J
The
other day, there happened a speech which took the state of Kerala by storm. In
that speech, the person wondered “Do all mothers in Kerala wear Jimikkis? Do

Jimikkis are stolen, drink Brandy in Kerala?
By
that logic, let us all wonder a bit more J
Aayiram Kannumai kathirunnu ninne njan.
Ennil Ninnum parannakannoru painkili malar thenkili –
“Does
this mean a person has 1000 eyes? If there are 1000 eyes, are all the eyes used
to wait for someone? Just because the person moved away from you, are you
calling the person a bird? Does that mean all gulf malayalees are birds?”
Malare ninne kanathirunnal…Mizhivegiya
niramellam mayunna pole –
“Does
this mean this person singing the song is a Gardener? I say so because he is
talking only about flowers. If he s a gardener, why is he thinking only about
flowers and not about plants? He says if he doesn’t see the flowers, he feels
like all the colors are fading away. I am asking him which colors are fading away?
He should specify that!”
Appangelembadum ottakku chuttammayi…ammayi
chuttathu marumonukkai –
“Why
did the ammayi make the appams all alone? Why was there no one to help her? Is
this reflection of our society in these times? That too, look at the
patriarchy! Ammayi made the appams for the marumon. Not for the marumol. These
customs need to change!”

padi mele nilkum chandrano thidukkam –
“Why
are we talking only about the moon? Why are we not talking about the sun who
works hard all day long? Poor Sun. He is being ignored. Also, why is the moon
standing at the top of staircase? Ask him to come down!”
