I went for lunch the other day with 3 other Indians(2 Mallus and a Mumbaiker) , a Pakistani, 2 Iranians, and an Egyptian lady(Hey, does this sound like the beginning of a ‘people on a plane’ joke ??;) ).Somewhere during lunch, some one asked Fake Mallu 1, ‘So, where in India are you from ?’ and he said ‘Bangalore’. Fake Mallu 2 said ‘Im from Bangalore too .’ And when asked , I very honestly said Bangalore.
‘Hey, are we on a table filled with fake Mallus ??’ came a comment
!!
Fake Mallu1 and Fake Mallu 2 have never been in Blore for more than 2 days
