I was born in a small village in Kerala. From there, I went on to play for the Kerala state team and international test cricket for India, and now I am working in TV shows and cinema... Any miracle can happen.
Everyone eats all kinds of food in Kerala. Kerala is one of the states where life span is the highest; and lifespan is closely linked to food habits. In Kerala, people are generally non-vegetarians. If it was bad for health, life expectancy would not have been so good.
As my mother is a Kerala Brahmin and my father a Kerala Nair, every day in the house is like a religious festival.
The Kerala market may be small, but the reach is very wide. I am told Malayalis in Russia and Paris, too, watch my films, and that's something!
The slogan we have put forward is not just 'rehabilitation and reconstruction,' but 'build a new Kerala.' We will build a better Kerala.
Kerala's inalienable strength is our excellent social infrastructure, built over a period of time.
I come from a state in India that is a matrilineal state, Kerala. And so women really are seen as very powerful.
It's deep in the south of India and next to Goa, but thankfully the folk who like Goa haven't worked out that Kerala is a lot nicer and just next door. You do feel that you are discovering somewhere entirely new in Kerala. It makes you feel like you are on a totally different planet.
Our country is secular and Kerala is one state where it plays out at its best.
People in my state, Kerala, have started playing hockey, which is very pleasing to see.
I must say the geographically small State of Kerala has been traditionally influencing the discourse of the country with progressive ideas and innovative programs. Its voice really transcends the physical boundaries of the State.
Kerala is not a resource-rich State. This is a big challenge. Only if you have resources, you will have sound industries.
Kerala is a small state, and Malayalam films are seen by only very few people. That doesn't bother me.
The state of Kerala and Malayalam film industry has been like a home to me ever since I started my career as an actress.
Why is Kerala distinct from many other states? It is simply because of the glorious movements of reforms that brought renaissance to the state.
I would love to be part of a Ranji Trophy-winning Kerala side.
