Nostalgic notes
Two years in Tirur was
my first experience out of Tamil nadu.
On promotion to officer cadre I was transferred to Kalpangancherry Mallapuram district

More than 40 years have passed.
Still some memories are lingering in my mind
Rain more rain more and more rain
Torrential rain is the first thing striking in my mind the moment I think of Kerala
June 1st as if sky has widely opened heavy downpour .
Moment the rain takes a break the water drains off

Next striking feature was beauty
beautiful land with beautiful people particularly the womenfolk

in my tenure in the bank after Kerala

But I found a peculiar feature. which is charecteric of Kerala especially Malapuram belt
That is the marriage customers and procedures
Marriage and divorce are very common even among school going girls
Divorces are
mostly initiated. by women.
Wedding invitation cards are not printed
generally .
People are invited personally. Very few people from the grooms side attend the marriage
Majority of guests come eat and get away without waiting for marriage ceremony
Delicious food of mutton chicken or beef is served in feast
Malapuram is full of NRIs mostly labourers.
Normally they come home in one month leave. Up to Mumbai they fly. From there they come to Calicut by train .The whole family of NRI will go to Calicut to receive him go to hotel and have a costly feast
Then they will go to a doctor just like that and pay a fantastic consuting feel.
After a few days the search for a bride will commence if the NRi is un married
Just a few days before the departure date the marriage will take place
Initial period of one or two years of
married life is like dating time
Only after that they never children

It is a common feature to see the NRI having no money to go to Mumbai and pledging his watch for money.
