I am a teetotaller. However, I do "accompany" gangs, mostly enjoying the food. I often wonder why joints which do not sell drinks provide such good food.

And yes, guys, please do not drink drive.

Enjoy!!!!

Thats a LITERAL translation. Actually translation does it no justice because most of the terms used are typical drinker's language. You wont find an equivalent.

major and others - you really need to know Malayalam to understand this one. IF you understand the spoken language but cannot READ, then perhaps Crazy or someone else can provide a Malayalam in English transformation of the text.
