Chirapunjee is known for rains throughout the year.... It rains for almost 6 months in a year in Kerala... but ever heard of flooding and rains lashing out in a desert city, especially areas like Dubai & Sharjah... You will never know, right! As Al Gore's movie on Global Warming says, anything can happen. My bro-in-law who's working in Dubai and living in Sharjah mailed me a few snaps of the rains and its aftermath there...
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!!
