There are enough and more mallu kutties and chetas(?) in my class who still follow the tradition of a morning oiling. Not that I'm biased or anything, but why oh why can't they just add a dash of perfume ? Doesn't that solve atleast one (of the million) woes we 'others' are put through. Oh well. I'll hand it to you, though long, you're posts are a delight to read. Good job *thumbs up* <strong>Me: Hello Post Script, welcome to my page. That will be Mallu kutties and 'kuttans' as chattans only cover the lot older to you. Ha, a dash of perfume in the form of all those herbs doesn't stop the woes of others my dear boy (assuming you are one of course coz the name Post Script does not reveal your gender)! Thank you for the compliment (<em>".... though long, you're posts are a delight to read..."</em>). Please keep visiting and giving me a few more! ;) :P</strong> Haha.

I remember having a similar discussion with my friends once...head bath & shoulder bath...as mentioned by PRG above :) <strong>Me: Yeah Keralites have daily head-baths! :) And you can recognize a Mallu anywhere as the smell of coconut oil precedes him/her! ;)</strong> When I studied in Nepal,I had some Malayali friends who used to take regular head baths with coconut oil…I guess that’s the reason why most keralites have a typical hair texture.
