I'm a Roman Catholic Filipino who received a cloistered Jesuit education growing. I used to work in Bahrain and made good friends with very nice Keralites (though I have to Admit that I'm puzzled that they weren't so friendly with their other countrymen who aren't from Kerala. I mean, Ramesh and his gang hates it when Pranesh and the dudes from their area who are predominantly fair-skinned, occupy the same room. I miss them a lot. I hope to see them in the future when i get to visit Bahrain. By the way, my Catholic school had a lot of Mahabharata illustrated books in its library, hence my interest and fascination.
