‘Maram-Vandi-Maddhalam stories’

‘Paattam 2. 'Thirondhoram Bhasha urff TB’

‘Thirondhoram’ is Trivandrum fondly pronounced by us TVMites and ‘Thirondhoram Bhasha, (abbreviating to TB for ease) is an expression of our love for the Capital city. TB is witty, alluring, enduring and invites a lot of emulations by big, small, ugly, beautiful, girl, boy, woman, man, rich, poor, ..basically all. We are known and envied by rest of the God’s own country people just coz of TB J. Sometimes we try to borrow accents from central and north Kerala, but a few indispensable phrases like ‘entharappi’,‘vellangalokkey kudicha’, ‘ssalley’, ‘pilley’, 'eppo paranjennu kttamathi', ‘wollathuthanney’ just wouldn’t allow that. I am using this opportunity to thank our Superstars Mammootty, Mohanlal and Suresh Gopi for making TB a World renowned language. Proud of you guys! Nothing for charity please; ‘oru paalamittal angottum ingottum venamennanallo’, so TB has won many awards and accolades for them in return too. TB has a strong character. It is distinct, in-your-face, ‘straight’ and intelligent. New recruits to TB, go watch ‘Rajamanickam’. Immensely educative it is haan! ‘Thalley, all the best kyetta’.

Mr. Suraj Venjarammood’s contribution to TB is highly commendable. Almost all his movies exuberate TBs brilliance. If there is an Oscar for language propagation, it’s his, hands down! ‘Yevan verum puliyalladey, puppuliyanu…pinnallathey’. 'Jesst rememberrr thattu' (in typical Suresh Gopi style with CBI Diary Kuruppu background music)

Lalettan zindabad, mammukka zindabad…ippo surajum zindabad.
