I hope I’m not wasting precious space and people’s time by this frivolous post. But I do FEEL STRONGLY about it and I’m sure at least a few Mallu sisters sympathize — so here goes.
I just received an prayer-chain email. It is a prayer, I suppose, for men, especially Malayali men,and it goes like this:
Do not ignore this mail! Please forward it to at least 10 people…
A miracle awaits you! Please do not delete it. This mail is not a joke.
‘V’
Gopalan FORWARDED this mail to 10 people and that evening, he got a bottle of White Rum
When he got the mail, Rajappan believed it and FORWARDED to 15 people and next day morning his uncle come from Gulf with a bottle of Johnny Walker
Shashi received the mail and DELETED it. His Brandy Bottle fell from the table and broke! He lost all his Brandy
Achuthan, a Army Officer received this mail and he FORWARDED it to 20 people. The same day, Government increased his Monthly Liquor Quota
Surendran received this mail and DELETED it. He also made fun of the email. The same day the Bar next to his house closed down!
Please forward, it to as many people as you can. You will see a Miracle happening in your life.
Now, this tickled me, but I felt left out. So I rewrote it:
Do not ignore this mail! Please forward it to at least 10 people…
A miracle awaits you! Please do not delete it. This mail is not a joke.
‘D.’Gopika FORWARDED this mail to 10 people and that evening, she got a bottle of White Rum when her husband, who had ordered it, wasn’t home, and all her friends were visiting her.
When she got the mail, Rajamma believed it and FORWARDED to 15 people and next day morning her uncle come from Gulf with a bottle of Johnny Walker and her husband was hurriedly summoned to duty back in Gulf!
Shashikala received the mail and DELETED it. Her husband’s Brandy Bottle fell from the table and broke! Not only did she fail to taste it, she got blamed too.
Achaama, a Miltary Nurse, received this mail and he FORWARDED it to 20 people. The same day, Government decided to extend the Monthly Liquor Quota to all women in her camp!
Suma received this mail and DELETED it. She also made fun of the
email. The same day the Bar license for the girls-only bar she’d got was cancelled! Alas!Woe!Please forward, it to as many people as you can. You will see a Miracle happening in your life — women will revolutionize the use of liquor. A time will come when it won’t be a health hazard, a coward’s ultimate refuge, or an excuse for being violent. A time will come when liquor will be a happy thing. Ah, that’s the miracle I want!

linu,
we do not claim to be archeologists of knowledge to know everything under the earth. sadly your post has no relevence and is more rightwing than we can ever be (we are stamped and certified as rightwing by devika).
as for sexist tag, we dont know how being disappointed with a particular piece of a responsible feminist becomes reason for a blanket rightwing sexist tag.
regarding our behaviour with women writers here we have been critical to each post that we found funny. anyways we dont how someone equipped only with a “vagina’ (sorry not literally– please see sandhyas creations) can expect to be published author. it certainly takes more than that. if manu wrote a piece named ‘while my penis gently weeps” which is obviously inspired and crap other than the colourfull title it must be published at his personal blog. not anywhere else. gender, we must is not a pass.
marketing guys call this general technique followed by many as “bait and swich”. we are opposed to that on this blog. because we accidentally saw it and loved the idea behind it.
