It was a day of cleaning of our house that has been under lock and key, all these days. With adequate help from hired labour, we could acieve a semblance of order and neatness by the end of the day. The migrant labour, that was employed, were drawn from Tamilnadu and I dunno whether my observation is correct when I say that they've acquired a tendency to take short cut in their work, if not supervised adequately - a legacy that might have been passed on to them by their malayalee counterparts!
Where have all the mallus gone? Unemployment is fairly high, not very many opportunities are comimg from the gulf region, so where's the youth of Kerala looking for jobs? And mind you, jobs are a plenty that are quite handsomely paid as per the existing rates backed by labour laws!
Which brings me to my conclusion - in Kerala, there's no dearth of jobs but what's sadly astonishing is the malayalee's preference to hanker for white collar jobs and he detests anything that requires him to do hard labour! Hence, the heavy dependence on migrant labour!!
But coming back to the immediate, Lekha and me, now, have a new address at Guruvayoor!!!
