    Hi Renutn
    Can I add something, your efforts seem to be mocking at me!
    I am ashamed to say that I am a true blood malayalee, who doesn't know malayalam well whereas I'm fluent with Hindi, Konkani etc.....You have motivated me to make a serious effort in learning malayalam to more depths.
    Cheers
