Twitter was abuzz with the trending topic of Malayalis, on Monday, which set off a series of similar topics like “being Indian”, “being Kannadiga” and more! The  hashtags like #mallus, #gelf, and #beingmallu became the top trends of the country outsmarting many of the current issues in Indian social and political field.

While the local folks in Kerala  took to active tweeting about their concepts and outlook of being a ‘Mallu’, tweeples from the rest of the country and abroad followed it with frenzy with their retweet, driving up the topic all day through the online medium of twitter.

While most of them took a look at the lighter side of the Malayali way of life, others pondered deep to their typical mind sets that keep the malayalees apart from the rest of the world. Though being mallu was started in  response to #beinggujju, it soon overtook being gujju, which died down to a whimper in no time.

Some of the interesting tweets that went viral include the following

Being Mallu means your uncle is in “gelf”; Being Mallu is having a drink and worrying about the situation in Uganda, Cuba, and Poland; Being Mallu means you will mock at a non-Mallu at least once a day, and at fellow Mallus half the day.

Although most of the tweets  had a dramatic element in them,which made them funny and interesting  the bottom line reads that they were bang on target in exposing the lesser known habits and idiosyncrasies of  being a mallu!
