my country
they say,anythin happens in NewYork, and talk of the American dream. Well friends what doesn't happen in INDIA? Nothin and therin lies its beauty. The beauty of no dream comin true,the beauty of power in its ultimate brutality.The belief that Macheiavelli is GOD. and that ultimate truth KRISHNA taught us - whatever happens happens for the good- jo bhi hota hai ache ke liye hota hai- oh to add rather distastefully Krishna my friend is the true Macheiavelli and Chanakya just a follower. Friends to see the beauty of India one must understand India.It ain't the land of mysteries it is the land of practicality.No Indian dreams impossible dreams. He dreams possibilities,a poor boy runs away from home in Jalandhar Why? He's off to Mumbhai to meet Aishwarya Rai who is his soulmate,he wants to see her n see her he will,well in a Pajero wit Vivek bhai,but our practical Jalandharwalla would have been sellin papers at the sidewalk when he saw his dreamgal,makin money n meetin love who he felt had waved to him but she was just massagin her neck after a ride wit Oberoi sahib.This bhai of ours will now be inspired to act in movies n dancin wit dreamgal,now its Kareena.And dance he wil either behind the sets or as an extra.n he'll take friends alng to a 100rs theatre to show them the scene when he danced with Kareena (behind the sets,n when he took her shawl to her,after she threw it off due to the heat). Now that was practical dreamin in Mumbai.If u look carefully you can see the truth of end justifyin means here too.Now down south to our home town,which is in a place they call as Gods own country. Yea i believe that,and I believe in God.I believe in country too. We mallus are extremely practical people from the way we choose our friends,our desire in them bein beautiful people n rich people,that we want to be. Our thoughts the most snobbish of the lot
Now if i were to write a book on Kerala and someday i'll this is its name--- The Children of Macheavelli in Gods own country. They say u'll find a mallu on the moon,what they don't say was he was sent to the moon on a purely experimental basis,he is the best of all survivors,he has no feelins he can live anywhere,he can forget the land he came from(til he becomes rich) and tht ability to breed anywhere n with anyperson and the distaste for all ethics.oh i nearly forgot an ability to lie so innovatively tht he's held in wonder all over the world. Friends a malayale is the best of Indianness-- the great dreamer,the even greater practical man(in situations 4 others), an extremely tough breed with the ability breed quickly(forgot to mention tht earlier),and a survival instint that'l put a turtle to shame and another thing that'll put it to shame(tholi katti)
i'm sure none of this'l surprise chaps-- after all u r one too.
