The obnoxious side of 'Mallu', the tourist!

The Malayalam movie Manjummel Boys is currently running to packed houses and have set the cash registers ringing. The film aptly portrays the mindset of Malayali tourists who drink and puke throughout their trips. They are sans common sense and social sense and are not concerned with anything else.

Writer-screenwriter B Jeyamohan has kindled a controversy with his blog post related to the Malayalam movie 'Manjummel Boys'. The film was irksome as it is a real-life story, noted Jeyamohan in his blog post.

According to him, the film aptly portrays the mindset of Malayali tourists who drink and puke throughout their trips. They are sans common sense and social sense and are not concerned with anything else, he writes adding that he has witnessed, at least a dozen times, Malayali drunkards misbehaving in public at tourist centers like Ooty, Kodaikanal and Kuttaalam.

His blog has been written in Tamil. "Just as the movie proudly portrays, they throw away the liquor bottles negligently onto public roads. Such bottles, broken or unbroken, can be found throughout the Sengttai-Kuttalam as well as Koodalloor-Ooty roads. The vehicles of these drunkards have puke stains on both sides. They answer every question in Malayalam and expect others to learn Malayalam as well", it roughly translates.

My take

A fact check for all Malayali tourists!



Tailpiece.

Got up at my usual time, the chores and was ready by 10. Earlier, Sajish had come by and given me a good haircut and massage.

To the town to wrap up pending work and to pick up grocery from Harisree Supermarket.

The maid was down for work. 

At Raj Nivas, the left window has been repaired as well as the doorstep between the sitting room and the television room. And Ganapathy's boys have cleared the wild growth at the northern boundary and the requisite granite will be unloaded later tonight.

The construction of the breakwater wall will commence soon after.
