One point about this festival of Kerala is that it's virtually a national festival, since Mallus are scattered all over the place. A friend called up to say that his office here in Bangalore is virtually half empty, all Keralites having taken leave and gone to Kerala. It was no differerent in my office. All the Keralites would have gone home, if their bosses had given leave!
Soon, the government might declare Onam a national holiday like Diwali, at least going by the futility of keeping the office open with none in it!
