I am a Malayali, wear a thin lungee

What a delightful song! Queen’s I want to break free sung in Malayali style. Among other things, the song talks about being a Malayali, wearing a lungi and being a card holding member of the Marxist party. My father never sends forwards, but if he does – they are fabulous treasures!

  2. firstrain says:

    Priceless!! :D

    Nice picture on the blog header :)

  3. Tanmay says:

    Ha! Fantastic.

    And btw you’re blogrolled (have been for a while to tell you the truth).

  4. Sneha says:

    Ha ha.. good one. Watch lola kutty on channel v, if you dont already. Not sure you can watch it outside India. Maybe on you tube.

  5. Anand says:

    Oh! Man! Thanks for that. Made my day!

  6. Motley Fool says:

    LoL! Its difficult to even pretend to take offense when one is doubled up laughing.

  7. dipali says:

    Zimbly wonderfool!

  8. sajith says:

    Gggrrr. We’ll get the World Malayalee Association to DDoS Within/Without.

  9. Ojas and Dipali: Welgum!

    firstrain: It’s a lovely picture no? Taken on the GT Express I think.. Must have been five years old or so.

    Tanmay: Thanks! :)

    Sneha: Oh I love Lola Kutty. I think her interview with Boman Irani was probably one of the funniest things I have ever seen on MTV.

    Anand: Are you a fraud malayali?

    Motley Fool: :D Try, Simbly try.

    sajith: I am technically, 50% Malayali. Shuuurely – you shall be nice to that 50%?

  10. sajith says:

    50% is a tall claim! Can you read, write and speak Malayalam?

  11. Rashi says:

    Wow…trying to revive your malyali connections? I love the regional sentiment….I sometimes feel so guilty for not brandishing my UP connection (nothing much to be too proud of I guess!)…But honestly, I adore the fact that you’re so proud of your roots!

  12. dipali says:

    Just noticed the lovely pic! Beautiful photograph, lovely little Neha……

  13. Nilu says:

    Is Mallu land to Madras’ north?

  14. Not to question your semi-mallu-ness one bit, but is it thin lungee or ping lungee?!

  15. sajith: No, I am a Mallu of convenience.

    Rashi: Well, I have many connections. I brandish them whenever it is suitable. Having grown up in the North, and what not – I can easily lapse into regional love at any point in time. :)

    dipali: Thanks. :)

    Nilu: Depends. Why don’t you just follow the trail of coconut oil smell?

    the black mamba: I am convinced it is thin – because pink (ping) lungee is against communist principles.

  16. Though I dont understand the language, I enjoyed the song.

    It’s fun listening songs without understanding the meaning.

    Music is the language I understand. :)

    The Malayali in this hosuehold discovered it too and died laughing. Especially the “Marudhi” dowry bit.
