Our father in heaven .. Holy be thy land !

Recently ( 3 years ago!! ) yet another engraving of 'our' lord's prayer was added to the Olive mountains (139 languages and counting) This time - in Malayalam ! And who else would unveil the plaque - the then Minister of Fisheries?? and Sports!!! - Mr. Dominic Presentation . ( Maybe one good christian in the state cabinet ??? )

Check out the link .. The last line is particularly interesting -
Mr Presentation and some visual-media representatives attended the service .....
( Now you know what a good visual media "Presentation" means ! )

P.S : I always liked Mallu Christian names - which are adjectives / generic words in the English language - Presentation , Innocent , Able .. and so on ! (more on that later ! )

"Florentino is so in love with Fermina that he eats gardenias and drinks cologne so that he can know her taste. He becomes drunk on the cologne, and his mother finds him the next morning, in a puddle of his vomit, in a cove of the bay where drowning victims are known to wash ashore" - Love in the time of Cholera
