Diary Entry 16
If you are planning to make a trip to Kerala then reading this might be useful.
Don’t ever come to Kerala if you don’t like coconut. You will have to starve because there is coconut in literally everything edible. If you are allergic to coconut then coming to Kerala is suicide.
Most people come to Kerala expecting the fairest people in the world but when they cross the border, they look around and wonder for a moment if they are still in Karnataka or Tamil Nadu. Everybody in Kerala is not fair complexioned. Don’t be disappointed if you don’t find Punjabis here.

Some people from Kerala can talk English without the mallu accent. Please don’t come to Kerala and insult them by asking if they are mallu just because they spoke to you in a English that did not have an accent that you are so fond of mocking.
Just because Kerala has a 100% literacy does not mean that everybody in the general populace belongs to the high IQ society. When you see the children there, don’t ask them how their IIT preparation is going.
We love people who take bath twice a day. We can handle people who take bath once a day. But we can’t stand people who don’t take bath at all (We have a lot of water there you see). So when you come to Kerala make sure you take extra care to be hygienic.
Travelling in an Auto Rickshaw is very cheap. You will find it insanely cheap especially if you are from a place like Tamil Nadu (where the Rickshaw guys rip you off). I payed 12 Rs for the same distance for which I would have paid 80 Rs in Tamil Nadu. I was shocked to the point that I tipped him an extra 20 Rupees. (Don’t ask me how these people survive. I have no idea).
You probably are fascinated with Kathakali. I have been watching Malayalam Doordarshan for years now and I still cant figure out what they are trying to do. You will tell me all the stuff like dance needs no understanding to enjoy but let me tell you that Kathakali is not salsa. You wont even understand the music. You rather spend that money eating puttu and kadala or karimeen. Paying money to watch a Kathakali show will be like paying to go to sleep (a hotel will be more comfortable).
