'The Kochappan mails'

Hello !
In and around Trivandrum area the illicit liquor sold is known or named after it's effect on the consumer. Subject to the limitations of vocabulary, when translated to English, they appear in the ascending order of it effect: as told to me by you- know - who.
' Navavadhu' ( The Bride) - For a beginner or trainee this is suggested.Can walk straight without measuring the breadth of the road. When your wife opens the door to your home at night you will be shy, quiet, and some people tend to draw small circles with the big finger of your feet on the floor : like they show in films. Reports show that the reaction from the wife tends to mild and approving.No harm done!
Kargil - Same scene. same people. Without waiting for the door to be opened fully you in infiltrate in and hit the bedroom. Nobody will know that you have come in except of course your better half . If she, by any chance happens to be your better one- and- a half , then you may read you obituary column in the news paper the next day morning.
Patthadi Veeran - ( a variety of a snake) . You consume three pegs of this, the distance you are assured you can walk is a maximum of ten feet. Beyond that you you will tend to crawl or better still slither, like that snake, after which this drink is named. Reaction of your wife?. It won't be a pleasant spectacle; you slithering towards your pit.
Jesus christ - You have two of these. you will not be shy like the 'Navavadhu' nor will you
Kargil home. You will not slither. you will go straight to the bed, and probably you will cover yourself with a blanket. You will resurrect like Christ after seven days ;' fresh and juicy'.
Your wife' reaction ? . Let me be frank. I have no idea. Not even Newton's third law I suppose.
'' In my case?''
'' well she was there when I resurrected. Without complaints, without grievances ; as she has always been ''. What a woman !

"Kochappan ?''

'' He never went beyond the 'Navavadhu' stage.''

Well ! we grew together but in different directions !!!

( I donot know in which shape these mails has been coming to you ; the first one probably may have been a ' Navavadhu' and later on; infiltration or slithering?.
The subject may not be interesting for some. Too hectic a life for others. Please send me a blank mail if it is any of these. I professional and old enough to understand.
Iam not fishing for compliments either.
It's just that I donot want to get carried away.
I care for people's well being; even when they go through their Email. !!!!
