Meen in Malayalam means fish, to the best of my 'no-ledge'. So, I am not being mean, just having fun. Had a Malayalee been our Prime Minister, what are the reforms that we could expect?
1. National dress would be the mundu (ignoramuses call this a lungi).
2. National animal, bird, and amphibian would be Fish.
3. All financial transactions would have to be in Dirhams,or Dinars (Ekta Kapoor can have a fetish for K, so why not all Indian currency for a D?). After all, most of our currency is handled/manufactured by the D company, right?
4. National dish would be Gopi Manchurian (the p is to be pronounced as b).
5. Mohanlal and Mamootty would replace Rajnikant in all the jokes.
6. Kutty would be the national term of endearment for all children.
7. Tirupati would be moved to Calicut.
8. Waving a red flag would be declared a National Pastime, to be indulged in at will, and encouraged at work.
9. All Bollywood movie producers would have to watch 50 Malayalam films in order to improve their product quality.
10. All bus drivers would take driving lessons from Kerala drivers, thereby obviating a need to build rockets, saving several billion rupees.
