As much as we Malayalis love God’s Own Country, there are few aspects we absolutely despise. We are not talking about political agenda or environmental degradation. Let’s focus on just the personal aspects that affect our day-to-day existence in this piece. Here are few things that are holding us back and that somehow refuses to leave Kerala.
Nosy Neighbours
And their family’s gossipmongers. They are the worst because they’ll do anything to get news and spice it up with extra masala and broadcast it all over the neighbourhood.
Current Cut
The major cause of high BP. It’s 2019 already, didn’t we perfect 24/7 supply of electricity yet?
Flood Warnings
The Monsoons in Kerala should stop ruining people’s lives every year. It’s scary, you know.
Chooral Vadi
Our mothers’ favourite weapon to attack us is the worst invention ever.
Kalyana Brokers
They are here to ruin lives, not create them. No Sir and Madam, we don’t want to get married to your list of pengutikals or chekkamars so that you can get a nice commission when you get a couple married.
Astrologers
Our parents are your die-hard fans. We are not. Take note of that, dear astrologer.
Slow Wi-Fi
The internet in Kerala is so slow that getting a 4g connection is the only viable option.
Cringe-worthy Malayalam Serials
Our brains die a slow death because of the over-dramatic background scores and the extra slo-mo in the middle of a dramatic scene.
Trouble Causing Teachers
Ayoo, shalyangal! They make lives in school extremely miserable. They’re born to cause trouble by being a pain in the neck.
College Uniforms
College students are young adults so treat them like one!
Bus Racing
An average of 11 people die everyday in road accidents in Kerala. And a few less speeding busses should help bring that number down.
Roadside Garbage
Kerala is beautiful except when there’s shit loads of garbage at every single junction. Time we did something about it.
Special Class
ALL students hate ‘special class’ on a Saturday. Why this kolaveri, teacher?
Freakenmaar
Spiked, coloured hair, loose jeans with underwear display, colourful shoes, and kajal worn – all characteristics of Kerala’s ‘freaks’. May god bless you!
