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.

Talking About Sania?!!

Indian tennis ace Sania leaves for Birmingham to play DFS Classic. She said
she is confident about performimg extremely well in the tournament! She said
she is in good form and expectes to improve her world standings.

Indian tennis star Sania withdrew from the Stutgartt Open due to injuries. Sources
in the know told that it will take another couple of weeks for her to come out of
the injuries and another couple of weeks to regain the form.

Indian tennis beauty Sania inaugurated a beauty treatment centre in Bangalore, with
hundreds of people storming the area to have a glimpse of the tennis beauty. She was
as charming and energetic as ever.She signed a couple of autograps as well.

Indian tennis queen Sania spent a couple of hours for shooting the advertisement
of the company she is the brand ambassador of, in a very humid and tiring environment
in Chennai. But, despite all this, she obliged her fans by signing a number of autographs.

Indian tennis sensation Sania told a press conference in Mumbai that she wishes
to be in the top twenty bracket this year and win some good tournaments. She continued
to say that she has the ability to even break into the top ten.

Indian tennis star Sania told she is thinking about quitting the game due to the poor
and bad publicity she gets. She even announced that if the sort of pressure she is
having continues, it will be curtains for her tennis career.

Indian tennis marvel Sania, on the sidelines of a photo shoot at New Delhi said
that the environment for the development of the game in India is not that much
suitable for its growth, compared to the environment existing in the developed countries.

Indian tennis hope Sania made an early exit from the French Open. It was a 6- 0, 6- 0
defeat in the first round against a qualifier from Ethiyopya. She also lost
in the doubles, in the qualifiying round. She said, her ankle injury is troubling her.

Indian tennis ace Sania said to this news paper that her dream is to become
a Grand Slam winner and break into the top ten of the world rankings. She said
at the least, she expects to breach into the top twenty, somehow.

I wonder what does Our Tennis Sensation do other than expressing her dreams
a couple of times a year to repeat them in the next year, doing the photo shoots
for the brands she represents, exiting in the qualifying rounds of even small scale
tournaments, talking at length about the hardships she has, endorsing more brands,
threatening to quit on each and every possibility, losing time/weeks/months in injuries,
and very rarely playing good quality tennis. Is it a player whom we listen to and talk of
or a marketeer who just go on talking and never play good quality tennis?!
