One Japanese visits America, on his way to hotel from airport, he hires a taxi. He saw an overtaking Toyota and shouts "Toyota, made in Japan.. very fast.. very fast.." Then he saw a Honda and leans out of window and shouts loudly "Honda.. made in Japan.. very fast.. haha.." annoying the driver. Finally he reaches the hotel and asks the taxi driver about the bill. Driver says "$500!!". Japanese was shocked and tells that its too much. Then the driver says "This meter.. made in Japan.. very fast.. very fast"
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
That's a very interesting observation Mr. Critic!!
