Mallu Thoughts...

I named it Mallu thoughts, because I am a mallu (short for Malayalee, or Keralite) and my view of the world is centered around Mallus (Keralites) and Mallu-land (Kerala, in other words).

Bangalore Public and Rajkumar...

Rajkumar died. I am not a big fan of any movie star. Being a mallu, Rajkumar is totally alien to me. So when my friend warned me of public sentiments which could boil over, I took it lightly. I thought that she was exaggerating. Two days later, I am not sure of what to make out from what happened during his funeral.

Public and private property worth crores of rupees destroyed. Will that make Rajkumar happy?

Was it public outrage? If so, outrage against what? His death? It was not a wrongful death. He died of his illness. So I don't know what is there to complain against?

Rajkumar was a person who helped a lot of Kannadigas. From what I know, he had no inclination towards politics. He was supposed to be a good man. So when a good man dies, the people who loves him goes around, destroy property and create a scene of terror all around Bangalore. Is that how Bangaloreans or Kannadigas pay tribute to their beloved Rajkumar..?
