Two days ago, my sister got married into a malyali family in a traditional ceremony in the Guruvayur temple. It was a deadly combination of north marrying south ( atleast to the relatives.) When my sister first expressed her desire to marry a south india guy ( yes at that time all of them living in the south india were just south indians.) we were a little sceptical, they must have been too, . Then they came down to meet us for the very first time. What stood out in them immediately was their humility and simplicity. we connect well. We were invited. What we saw in their house as we visited them further made us believe that our choice has no flaw. The wedding date was fixed and we came back as a very happy family. In the meantime we knew that the girl of the house was getting married to a malyali and ,yes they are different from Tamilians, Kannadigas, people from telangana and people from andhra. They are different in a lot many ways. Their language, food, perspective, everything is different. Mallus are much humbler and way less aggressive.
What happened at the wedding where north met south will follow soon.
