Uphold your legacy

Yesterday was a beautiful Sunday. Peaceful & quiet...By evening I was resting with the Sunday newspaper on my lap. The evening Sun was on my face. The TV was on. And I could hear some familiar music streaming out. I listened...Oh! Usha Uthoop...I like her... Ente Keralam Yethra Sundaram... Dressed in thick Kanchivaram Sarees with wide borders, thick sets of chokers, big studs on her ears, colourful bangles that dangles on her full forearm and to top it all... her big bindi. And all this matches her pop songs. Nothing seems out of place...Nothing is awkward...It would be strange if she came in some other dress.

She is proud of her culture. She upholds what she is...the Iyengar in her. And what are we doing? Trying to wipe out Chatteyum Mundum? Whether you are Catholic, a Marthomite, A Jacobite, or a Orthodox...we all have come through this attire and never gave it a second thought. And now its time. Think about it and let me know your views.
