KA vs KL

My proficiency and the influential infiltration of the kannada language into me displayed itself in its full foray this weekend when I visited Kerala. For the fact, my understanding of the malayalam language is pretty decent and the thought of phrases in malayalam in my thinkbox is quite natural I thought until now....but when I tried to blurt out / ask anything to the all-helpful public in Kottayam district, all I could think of, in my mind was kannada phrases like 'illva', 'hege hogbeku?', 'elli idhiya ?'.... For once I thought I should have toured in kannada heartland rather than God's Own Country....but is there an equal to plush green upholstery that God flaunts in his courtyard...! All that in a dedicated push!... For now I am going to bask in the glory of my kannada prowess and memory power which has stood a test of more than 2 years!!!

Godspeed & Shabba khair!!!
