It was yet another lazy Saturday morning at home. And as usual a time when the family discusses the week gone by .On certain days interesting topics also come up for discussion. Incidentally this Saturday the Mallus were celebrating their new year Vishu .
Vishu is a Hindu festival celebrated in the Indian state of Kerala and in the Mangalore and Udupi districts of Karnataka, usually in the second week of April in the Gregorian calendar. It marks the new year in accordance with the Malayalam calendar, known as the Kolla Varsha.
Mom who had apparently taken notice of the Malayali women in their sarees while she visited the Ayyappa temple that morning ,commented that they must be the most beautiful women .Dad who usually is reserved when it comes to women also seconded her opinion.I didnt comment on this but felt that might be they were right.
So what is it that sets the malayali women apart. Firstly its their eyes .They must be the ones with the most beautiful pair of eyes .Next you will see a majority of them having long hair something that most women of other states have shunned .Also they have a peculiar hairstyle which I cant categorize thanks to my limited knowledge in this field .Malayalam also happens to be the one of the sweetest Indian languages .It must easily be the sweetest of all south Indian languages especially the tone with which they(Women ,not men :p) speak.Add to all this the traditional Indian saree and you get a deadly combination which is simply hard to beat.
The mundum neriyathum is the cultural costume of women of the Malayalee community and often referred as Kerala saree. The grace and appeal of the golden borders contrasting with the otherwise plain white mundum neryathum of Keralite women has come to symbolize Malayalee women.
So the Jury is out .They must be the most beautiful of them all !!!

So ultimately do you find malayali women beautiful? Or were you just supporting your parents claims..? Just curious! =)
ReplyDeleteSo ultimately do you find mallu women beautiful, or were you just supporting your parents' claim..?
ReplyDeleteSame question from 2 accounts .I presume that it must be the same person.Well off course I do find them beautiful & attractive :-)
ReplyDeleteYea I think both my profiles were open back then. And this is such an ancient question. On a personal note I think you lack conviction on the beauty of your mallu women. :)
ReplyDeleteI have the conviction..but I cant sound biased as well ;-)
ReplyDeleteNo offense to Malayali women , but I find Punjabi and Kashmiri women wayyyyyyyyyyy better . I have been to Kerala and find these women overrated. Most of them are dark and oily.
ReplyDeleteBeauty is in the eye of the beholder !
ReplyDeletemost of the punjabi girls are dark brown in colour and more hairier than men. malayali girls on an average are much fairer than punjabi girls.
