AVANTE ORU ENGLISH// HIS BLASTED ENGLISH

 

Something I found interesting. Not certain it would be for any one else.

Recently I watched the movie 'Hridayam'

A few Malayali students had secured admission in an Engineering College at Chennai. Malayali seniors were ragging Malayali juniors. Since one junior had objected he was violently targeted. Some five or six seniors ran into the room where this boy was lying down with fever. They started to beat him up. 

However there was a North Indian in the adjacent room. Though he was a Junior the Malayali seniors had never been after him with their edition of ragging.

Hearing the commotion he entered the room where the Malayali was being beaten up mercilessly. He shouted in English at the tormentors and vehemently told them to stop the beating. He further said he'd beat all of them to pulp if they continued with the violence. 

The Malayali seniors stopped the atrocity at once and trooped out like lambs.

There was a wonderful comment by Vineeth Sreenivasan as they exited, 

"Ee lokathu malayalikku pediullathu otta kariyameullu. English." (The Malayali is afraid of only thing in this world. English)

It was affirmed by the perpetrators of violence when they were in the open, "Avante oru English." (His blasted English)

Vineeth was aptly touching upon the raw nerve of the Malayali -   his epic, phenomenal weakness he would never admit or acknowledge.
