The Malayali moustache which is huge and thick— like a sunroof.
The mass exodus to the Gulf and the continued fascination which is the trademark of a Malayali.
Everyone has a pre-conceived notion that Kerala is kind of like China, but only when you come to Kerala would you understand that it is a different state in itself.
The fourth trait would be the Malayali love for food. For a Malayali, it has to be good food, and mind you, food is not just for survival.
The creative superiority of a Malayali who writes such good realistic screenplays that it gets copied to other languages.
The Malayali accent — Malayalis knows enough English that they make enough mistakes with their accent.
