I've always had a soft spot for Kerala, a lovely people with a lovely language. When i was in Tamil Nadu I heard of the trouble they have had from hindus.

Graham,

Did you spend much time in Tamil Nadu? As an anthropology student in college, one of my mentors did almost all of his fieldwork in Tamil and I learned more than I ever thought I wanted to know about Southern India. I've always wanted to visit.

This is amazing, the only people that I have ever met from India were from the State of Kerala. Great picture Sav.

Sav, I understand this is a kilt board, but as you'll see I posted this in the 'Off Topic' section (though its certainly more on topic than most of the other off topic posts)

Also, I wasnt posting about the lungi, but about the role reversal (you know, the thread title) which is something all us kilted board members experience regularly.

And yes, I'm being snotty, but I dont like being corrected for doing something that was already correct.

Sorry, Yaish! I didn't mean to come across as correcting you, that wasn't my intent...I just thought that I would chime in since the lungi that you described in the post is a garment I'm familiar with! Sorry again!

Oops. Then I apologize. I'm sorry, I thought you were 'deigning to answer' my thread even though it wasnt appropriate, rather than just expressing your reticence to post more on a non kilt MUG.

I understand now, and again apologize. Text only will let you say exactly what you mean - but it doesnt mean people will always understand it.

Not long, I've been twice for short stays of just a few weeks.
The last time was a missionary venture, we stayed in a small village called Ammambukkam.

One night two of the women began singing in the language of Kerala (Malayalam), I've never heard anything so beautiful.
