What can you say about meeting a malayalee at an airport in Europe? Very common these days.... I always used to tell my friends in Europe that there is a Kerala mafia and you will find them everywhere.
I was at the Vienna Airport waiting for my flight to Mumbai. As I looked around I could spot atleast 3 women, gossipping and acting to be nonchalant....typical mallu behaviour.
Then a young guy flopped on to the seat beside me. To be nice I asked him from where he is. "kerala" he said. "What are you doing?" i aksed. then came the interesting story of ahmed from calicut. (place and name changed).
Ahmed wanted to earn some money for his family. So he got a visa made - of course paying the middleman through the nose- for Kuwait. He was to be the personal cook for a sheik. When he landed in Kuwait he learnt that he will be one of the cook's assistant doing odd jobs and being paid peanuts. But he was smart and the sheik trusted him to take him with him on his annual sojourns in Europe. The sheik liked to gamble and the casinos of CANNES were his favorite place. France attracted Ahmed... But what to do?
