Describe yourself

In one word - complicated. Longer version follows.

The quintessential malayalee, well read, well traveled. Secular by habit with a disdain for the overtly religious, though respect believers. Will take the ignorant who have learned (someone taught them that) to have a religious bias to task with little kindness. :)

Like to discuss politics without any pretensions as long as coffee is available. I can talk about who won the elections anywhere in the world and why. To add could convince someone enough they vote for another party next time round.

An avid movie watcher, who observes with disdain when people reel out movie reviews off the internet. Come on use your own brain and give your own opinion! It is 60 years past since we got our freedom of speech and no one going to cut your throat for saying what you feel.

Respects original thinking and have a liking to people who can write well. Myself being not much of a writer, my view in school was learning languages was a waste of my valuable time which only deserved to be spent on loftier subjects like science and mathematics. :|

As any malayalee would be, at home in just about any city in the world. Reminds me of a malayalee proverb which goes like if you go to a land where they eat snakes, ask for the middle portion. :P The time to being at home in the city would be the time to find a nice local map. Yes
google maps might work too. I could hack into a wifi in no time, except I hate carrying a laptop around, am no Ipad fan either. A map is simply more efficient.

Don't talk too much but can communicate well enough. I could start with a "hai" and find the nearest lodging including the way in a few words even if the language spoken is Flemish unless the good natured soul is a chatterbox.

Have a habit of reeling out sarcastic jokes that might make most poor souls cringe, though I mean no harm. :) We malayalees have an inborn ability to critique anybody on any topic. It would ever do everyone only good, though some are not bright enough to get the point.

Prefer living in Cochin, though that would be a blatant lie. I would say that is a utopian dream, a false paradise which removed from reality. Vacationing in God's own country, I perfectly agree
with that name, is very much to my liking, though. :)

For now that is enough. If you have not realized that yet, being humble is not my strong point either, I would still argue that I am a simple person who takes pleasure in simple things.
