So thats what Madonna’s singing about in her song, Take a bow. But then again, its all no good without arrows, as you say!

Yeah, football. You know, there used to be a football team called Shangrila in CREC. Sikkim, Nepal & Bhutan guys. During my four years there, Shangrila didnt win the Monsoon Cup but always the ‘Best Jersey’ award

Eat Water
Reminds me of some of my so-called Malayalam phrases, which come mixed with the Tamil I speak at home. In the end, it will have a totally weird meaning to others.

You tend to take a bow
Bow without one or two arrows is pretty useless. Even so, why so offensive with someone who shakes hands with you?

All your friends have an opinion about football
I guess that is one similarity between Kerala and Sikkim. People are crazier about football than cricket.

Hey, yeah! Pickles in hostel! Hehehe…

That pointing with lips thing is a classic one. Its very funny in retrospect but quite a normal gesture for people around here. Wish you could see my lips right now. I’m demonstrating how to point

“pungent, fermented smell of pickled bamboo shoots (tama)”

Brought back memories of the exotic pickle always stocked in your room

“You point with your lips.”
I haven’t seen you do that! Btw how is this done?!! Beats me!
