Dear All

At least we are not as notorious as the Malayalees in naming babies. Sidin Vadakut calls them
as the world's most 'cruel' on this front. It has become a sort of style to make a synthetic hybrid of the
name of the Mother and Father. I had a friend Jayant and his wife was Hema - they named their son
Hemant. I could figure that out.

What keeps me confused is names like ' SHEJEE ' , ' JEHU ' , ' SHUKAY ' , and the funniest name
noted by Vadakut is a girl by name ' SHITTY ABRAHAM " !

We Tamilians are not that bad. But I figured it out when R. Chelleppan called himself ' R.C.PAN '.

Yay Yem
Dear AM Ji,

When I was in Manipal I also used to find Malayalam Christian names a bit unusual.
There were names like Tiji,Juju,Jiji,Biju,Biji etc..

Once one of my Tamilian Hindu male classmate (also from Malaysia) was sitting with me and another Malayali Hindu girl from USA.

Ok since all of us were Hindus my friend decided to discuss with me and the USA girl how come Malayali Christians keep names which are so different from other Christians he has known.

Suddenly the Malayali Hindu girl from USA got so wild with my friend as said "at least it sounds better than what your father's name is ..Kandasamy"

We were shocked with her outburst.My friend whose fathers name is Kandasamy asked her why she got so mad since all of us were Hindus so he thought he would discuss this with us.

To our surprise she said "I am a Malayali and don't you dare say anything about another Malayali"

That is the day I knew that Mallus have racial pride which comes before religion!!

Shocking !!
