Vineeth : You know how much time it will take to reach from Kasargode to Mangalore ?
Rebitha : Oh!! So you want to say I am the whole cause ? My Appa has restricted me to go to your town before wedding. That’s why I am helpless to call you at my home town. Edwat aaguva enthu enikku ariyila { I don’t know it will create a trouble}
Vineeth : You either speak Kannada or Malayalam . Don’t mix it. It’s highly irritating.
Rebitha : Being a Tulu community person my language is like that. What to do ? I am staying in border which’s half part is on Kerala and half is on Karnataka. You have problem with my accent too ? Earlier you says it as sweet.
Vineeth : Leave it. Taste the coffee .
Rebitha : I don’t have much time . I need to go back
Vineeth : Enna pinne ingottu maharani vannathu enthina ? [Then why you queen came here ]
Rebitha : Barthilla anthre ee maharajivne noduva sawbhagyam kittila [If I won’t come I haven’t get the fortune to see this King ]
Vineeth : Nee ethu vare malayalam padichille ? [Haven’t you still learned Malayalam ]
Rebitha : And you haven’t learned Kannada yet ?
Vineeth : You have to be a thorough Mallu girl when you will come there .
Rebitha : You and me both are from Tuluva community and in home we speak Tulu mixed Kannada.
Vineeth : May be at Mangalore . But Kasargode you have to speak Malayalam at home with me .
Rebitha : And what about the community language ? Tamil brahmins of Kerala in Palakkad are speaking mixed language , there are so many communities and what’s wrong if I speak the communal language in home .
Vineeth : I don’t like that . Forget Kannada and You should interact with me only in English and Malayalam, Got it.
Rebitha : But I can’t skip Kannada. That’s my mother tongue . I learned first that in school.
Vineeth : See those things are stupidity. You should learn to speak Malayalam properly .
Rebitha : And Kannada !! Vineeth see my short story has came in child magazine of Kannada.
Vineeth : Forget it. There is no need of it. What kind of script is it ?
Rebitha : I will explain the title and meaning of story.
Vineeth : You should stop doing these things. And no need of writing for any magazines of Kannada.
Rebitha : What’s your problem with it ?
Vineeth : Give me your phone
Rebitha handovered phone . Vineeth deleted all the kannada songs play lists from phone.
Vineeth : See I have cleaned your phone.
Rebitha : You are hurting me , Vineeth. If you are so proud of your language then I am also proud of my language.
Vineeth : Stop it. And you only said you are getting late. See bus has arrived . Wait are you able to read the board of bus ? It’s written in
Rebitha : I can read and write both Kannada and Malayalam . Just that I am not fluent like you in Malayalam. I am leaving.
Vineeth : Hey just like that ? You won’t say anything .
Rebitha ; Whatever you wants to say you have imposed it on me. Nothing is left to say rather than bye. Njan Pokunnu [ I am going]
She catched the bus with a disheartened heart . That night when the TV was on Shivarajkumar song was going on. Seeing the song Rebitha’s eyes went teary.
Amma : Enaithu putta ? [What happened child ]
Rebitha : Onnum illa [Nothing]
Amma : Why suddenly Malayalam ?
Rebitha : I am practicing it , because I am going to that state, that place forever.
That night Vineeth send a message to Rebitha in phone . Rebitha simply typed good night and send it.
Vineeth made a phone call to her
Vineeth : I send a romantic message and what that just a good night
Rebitha : I don’t know how to reply for it.
Vineeth : What ?
Rebitha : I didn’t understand it fully as it was of full malayalam. You know it
Vineeth : Oh!!! Malayali aanengil malayalam arinjirikkanam . { If you are a malayali then you should know malayalam }
Rebitha : Why you don’t try to learn few kannada too ?
Vineeth : I am not speaking that one in home itself . It’s so embarassing when others will make fun of you.
Rebitha : What ? See we are living in India . Not any foreign country. It’s a country where so many languages are spoken and I am proud of whatever language I am speaking in my community. There is no problem at all.
Vineeth : You just close this lecture and learn malayalam quickly.
Next meeting of these two people
Rebitha : I have bought Uppittu for you
Vineeth : It’s nice , very tasty.
Rebitha : It’s traditional food of Karnataka
Vineeth : May be , but not as much tasty when it comes to Puttu, Kadala of Kerala.
Rebitha : You won’t change, Vineeth
Vineeth ; And one thing, call me Vineethetta only. With due respect. Don’t call me just by my name .
AN : Hey guys , how are you all ? This time I am coming with a real story with some changes in names of characters and some things.. A real story and it’s my own life story only. So tell me guys what you felt after reading it .

Story is really nice 😄
Hilarious and damn realistic at the same time… The way South Indians from different states think the other one is from another country is something damn true. And being a South Indian, I can totally relate 😂. Whenever I happened to eat from tiffin box during recess break… that’s the common type of conversation we South Indians especially have. If I am savouring my food…the other will claim that my regional food can’t be tastier than their regional food. And as usual we South Indians get on to our ‘ego modes’ and claim high about different types of native regional food no matter some foods recipes aren’t even our favourites. I reminisce those arguments badly !
Signing off… Drifting into nostalgia !

Thanks a lot, it’s my own story only. I actually belongs to Mangalore and I got married in Kasargode of Kerala. So now I am half kannadiga and half malayali. I am happy you was able to relate this with you.
By the way… I know they are Nithya Menon and Dulquer Salmaan in the pics but which movie is this.
P.S. I am a South Indian but do not belong to Kerala. I am from Andhra P.
Ustad hotel Malayalam movie
Surprising that this is inspired from your own life.surprised to see dulqar nitya.i like this pair.
Both are from tulu community.then why is vineeth asking rebitha to speak only malayalam?why he speaks only malayalam at home?vineeth telling her not to write for kannada magazine and deleting kannada songs from her phone was very rude.like rebitha said its not easy to forget our mother tongue.its stupid to argue over food also.i have even seen people saying that their district is better.malayalees of one district find fault with other districts. So immature.i am against it.no place or no language is better than the other.all are nice in their own way.perfect pics.
Thanks a lot.
