Who does it belong to?

I got this as an e-mail forward and am not sure about its authenticity; but nonetheless a brilliant way of putting things across or as the old saying getting others to put their feet in the mouth!

Speech of DG Kashmir at UN

An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the
United Nations Assembly that made the world community smile...

A representative from India began: 'Before beginning my talk I want to
tell you something about a rishi named Kashyapa of Kashmir (Kashyapa,
son of Marichi, son of Brahma), after whom Kashmir is named.

When he struck a rock and it brought forth water, he thought, 'What a
good opportunity to have a bath.' He removed his clothes, put them
aside on the rock and entered the water. When he got out and wanted to
dress, his clothes had vanished. A Pakistani had stolen them.'

The Pakistani representative jumped up furiously and shouted, 'What are
you talking about? The Pakistanis weren't there at that time.'

The Indian representative smiled and said, 'And now that we have made
that clear, I will begin my speech.'
"................And they say Kashmir belongs to them."

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

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!!
