Malayalees outside Kerala.

Traditional joke goes that when Mr.Edmund Hillary conquered Himalayas for first time,on top of the Himalayan peak he was offered a glass of hot 'Chai' by a Malayalee.I have often wondered how malayalees migrate to such an extend outside the Kerala state.Once as a part of job I had to travel to a place called Korba which is in Bastar a predominantly tribal place.So I had to take a bus from Bilaspur get down at some point and then another bus would take me to Korba coalmines.Now I was waiting in front of a teashop and went to ask the owner of the shop about timing of bus.All on a sudden I heard a Malayalam film song in the background.No doubt it was a malayalee tea shop.He guided me how to go about and how to come back etc;It is found that thare are 10,000 Malayalees in Pakistan!
How easily a Malayalee get adapted to any circumstance and any locality has always surprised me.He learns the Language very fast.If you wait for a bus at Diera bus stop in Dubai you will know the language skill of Malayalees.There are many fancy shops near the Bus Depot and International tourist keep on pouring in.So the salesman would speak in Russian language on seeing a Russian group, immediately he will switch on to Arabic,sinhalese,French,English and some African Language depending on the crowd which arrives.
In India itself they speak pure Hindi if in Hindi belt,Gujarati if in Gujarat,Telugu in Andhra Pradesh and Kannada if in Karnataka.They work very hard ,but only if they are outside kerala.For them 55 degree Celsius Temperature would'nt affect in spite of constructing some building.Most of the buildings in the Arabian Gulf is a standing example of hard labour of Malayalees.
Still in Kerala they wouldn't like to work.Probably Kerala is a Resort for a Malayalee and he do not want to Industrialise it!!
