The grapevine has it that liquor baron Vijay Mallya will soon be donning the shoes of Donald Trump in a desi version of the famous Apprentice! Apprentice is a hit reality TV Show in the US and thanks to Star World, it is aired in India every Friday evening. And the latest season of Apprentice has an Indian-born candidate also appearing.
As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!! Thanks to this Wikipedia link , forwarded to me by Vinay
