If I were a king...

The coat of arms of erstwhile Travencore Kingdom which was adapted in the seal of Kerala State

Many a times we might have seeen the etiquttes of the who is whos in the world. Mukesh Ambani's Antilia, Brijesh Mallya's yacht, William-middleton dressmakers and marriage extravaganza are just the ones which come on the page 3 of tabloids. In a world where the dress makes the man I came across a rather bizzarre news in The Hindu. It was an interview with  (unofficial) HH Uthradom Thirunal Marthanda Varma, the current head of the ex-royal family of Thiruvithancore (or Travencore as many know it) which was in news for the 1lakh crore vault enumerated recently. What touched me is the simplicity of the man, who is revered still by many equivalent to the king (though what he is saying is still very conservative view of the Royals with a lot of mythical beleifs) In a world, which as per our contributer Kam1(Dr. Aravind singh) titles as the one run on 'bhay or dikhave pe chalnewala' (running on showoff and fear), where etiquetttes defines the person, it is off the main line . I hope many of us might have read the news, but unfortunately i couldnt put it earlier because of lack of time. I am doing it now you can read it here click here to read
