Have to say this about the Malayalees on the Net - much, much classier than the non-Netted Malayalees! I am a prime example, of course. People like Venugopal… smart and witty, yes. Cool, no. Not worthy to untie my sandals, so to speak.

The best I have found so far is Anjali, blogging as Silverine. My North Indian friends who have entirely the wrong ideas about mallus, do read her. She is from somewhere near my district in Kerala, I think. Connoisseurs of beer, her family is. True-blue Achayan variety.

In fact my northie friends were quite surprised by a friend of mine, who could drink them under the table anyday. Seems the northies do not know about the drinking prowess of the Malayalees. For them Punjabis are the ultimate boozers. Not so - per capital alcohol consumption is still the highest in Kerala, and by God, it shall remain so! Anyway, this friend of mine managed to earn substantial respect for Malayalees among my northie friends.

The secret of the malayalee drinking prowess is easy to understand. We drink to get drunk. More the merrier. So, pretty little self control is exercised while drinking. The rest of India, I suspect, drink socially. For them, alcohol is a great companion for a great evening. For the mallu, alcohol IS the evening.

That’s it for now. Here are my list of the malayalee bloggers I have found on the Net. Do leave a comment if you know more of us.
