I chanced upon an interesting blog today written by an American, who is studying in Stanford. She is in India to help an NGO called Drishtee... The blog is a nice read and you get to read about a different perspective of India from an American's point of view! And yes, some of her stark comments about India makes you think Read the blog here
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!!
