May It Be A Very Rejoiceful Onam 2024 - By Aires Rodrigues
Monday - Sep 16, 2024
Warm Greetings on the occasion of Onam, a harvest festival celebrated by our Malayali brethren. This year for me it will be in London with two of my dear Malayali brothers. Last year at Kerala it was a delight to partake in the relishing of "Mini Onam Sadya" on the last day of the 10-day Onam Celebration in Subhiksha Restaurant at the age-old Bharat Hotel in Ernakulam. What a mouth-watering treat, a pure vegetarian spread served on a banana leaf. It was so nice witnessing Hindus, Christians and Muslims in harmony with each other rejoicing and celebrating Onam as a great example of Brotherhood.
Kerala and Goa have so much in common. It was a joy to experience in Kerala first-hand the wealth of natural beauty in the form of placid backwaters, lush greenery, picturesque towns, and beautiful beaches. Kerala is known as 'God's own country' while Goa had for a long time been known as the Pearl of the Orient.

Again more civnattery blathering from the pro-ghantti oldie Aires. Talk to Goans who've actually worked with Malayalis in companies or ships, or better still worked in Kerala itself instead of just being a tourist sampling the local cuisine. Mallus form a treacherous ethnic block who do whatever it takes to push out non-Mallus, and also steal credit for any good work done by non-Mallus.
Mallu ghanttis behave no differently in Goa, observe the antics of Mallu ghantti Pillai voted in by ghantti votebank in Sancoale - he's helping ghanttis trespass on church property to try to fake Goan history so that ghanttis can do more land grabbing in Goa. He's also helping Sindhi ghantti Bhutani with his mega project land grabbing so that more ghanttis can flood into Sancoale and be ghantti votebank. Being a Hindu ghantti means that he has a natural hatred for the Catholic natives of Sancoale, especially because his native Mallu shithole can never equal a Catholic Goan village. BTW, Goa is known as "Rome of the East" - "Pearl of the Orient" is some 20th century Bamonn-ghantti alliance rewrite to obscure the harsh truth that the overwhelming majority of ethnic Goans are Catholic.
