The Terrible Hotels of Thrissur - The Cultural Capital of Kerala!

The over priced, poorly serviced, hygienically low grade hotels of this 'Cultural Capital'
dot every lane and by lane of the city. The so called 100% literate people of the city
and those who 'Accidently' are trapped by the 'Name' of the hotels, devotedly gobble
up whatever that is served (which if we get in our own sweet homes even won't find
a way into the dog's plate!) very much unhygienically and sometimes arrogantly, paying
through their noses!

Every state and their districts has their own delicacies and specialities as far as food is
concerned. Every one cautiously and patiently preserves the things they got from
the by gone years and try to better what they had. But here, in this Cultural Capital,
the very opposite is happening! People least care about 'the tastes of Culture' that they
are supposed to have and cherish! They simply spoil what they should have cherished!

In some of the 'Famous Hotels' of the city the curries including 'Saambar', 'Aviyal', 'Kaalan',
'Oolan' etc. are prepared in such a tasteless and nauseating way that we wonder whether
they are directly out of some Nazi Camps trying to kill people by serving the most awkward
and unpalatable items! These 'insufferable' items are served in these 'Famous' hotels day
after day, week after week and month after month that when the regular eaters have
'the Real Curries' they ask "What These Great Curries Are Called?!" and "How These
Superb Dishes Are Prepared?!" and "Where These Fantastic Curries Are From?!"

In a good number of the 'Famous Hotels' of the city we find 'Royal Blood of the Elizabethan Era'
serving 'Ordinary People', where the 'Poor Customer' has to win over the attention of the supplier or bearer, if one wishes to make even some unpalatable and tasteless things reach one's stomach! The Royal Supplier will roam around in a chariot and if one attracts his attention after waiting a couple of hours patiently, he will offer you something that he wishes to serve but not the thing you found 'Doing Your Research on the Menu'! He will serve you as despicably as you are a leper and threateningly stare at you and grin if you wait for a second to think about what else you want! But when you somehow gobble the copper, iron and steel with the ISI mark, the nature of the 'Royal Highness' suddenly changes and he takes the form of a 'Royal Dog' that he get 'His Tip' in billions! And if the 'Poor Leper' doesn't pay or pay in thousands, then some 'Delicate Words' will be audible from the heavens in the voice of the 'Royal Highness' which no other human ear can hear!

It is better 'Not' to talk of the hygienic factors in the hotels of 'The Cultural Capital'!
In a large number of hotels there is 'No Toilet Soap' to wash one's hands. In some hotels
they provide 'Dish Cleaning Powder' to wash one's hands with! And in almost all the hotels
where 'Luckily' we find toilet soap or washing powder, we see them 'Dangerously' placed
almost on the edge of the washing or better we call spitting sink that most of the spittle
the 'Mouth Washer of Hygiene' spits with all his or her might, standing erect, after
rinsing one's mouth with water after having food, gets sprayed on the soap or the powder!
And, at least a couple of times a day, the toilet soap finds a way to the bottom of the sink
by slipping away from the 'Hygienic Eater-Washer', which after a couple of minutes is
worshipfully taken out and placed on the same edge of the sink to be sprayed by the spittle again
and used by the next person to 'Hygienically wash his or her hands and faces!'

And when the bill comes one naturally doubts whether some 'extortionists' have changed their job and become hoteliers! They give less quantity and quality and charge exorbitant rates. They give chappattis, dosas, vadas, varieties of fried rice etc with a 'magnifying glass' that we understand they are enough and of the correct size and quantity! They boil rice, putting Arecanut & Sodium by Carbonate (NaHC03) in it that people eat less! They serve 'Prawn, Mushroom Fried Rice etc.' with prawn and mushroom rarely seen, and charge you a fortune! They serve you tasteless and nauseating food items, and charge you heavily! They serve out dated, rotten food items and charge 'an unsuspecting you' through your nose! The food inspectors 'Conduct Raids' and recover truck loads of rotten, old and degraded food items from the hotels, never to name the hotels and 'the same hotels continue the same old story!' Remember the welcome board to all these hotels reads 'Customer Is The King!' But the 'Poor Eaters' never think that 'The Raj' - where the kings ruled-is no more and kings are treated as beggars these days! And, beggars, as is heard, never had any right but to accept whatever that had been given!!!

Pls Note: Some of the above stated type of hotels function on Palace Road, near the Gold & Silk selling shops (where poor wedding parties are trapped!), behind or near Ragam Theatre (where poor people are trapped due to 'pseudo reputation'!), near the Railway Station (where poor travellers are trapped!), in the Swaraj Round/Circle (where poor people are trapped due to proximity!) etc.
