It's rainning outside.Although I love to play in the rain today i was sitting in a chair and watching the outside world and I saw a Man sharing his kalan kuda with his daughter, this made me write this post.As you All know kerala is a place where the monsoon currents use to blow which gived a large amount of rain in this God's own country.From this it is clear that how umbrella has influenced Malayali lives.
As a malayalee I think It's time to share my slices of Good nostalgic memories conected to umbrella with you.Kalan kuda was once the symbol of a Jenmi(rich lord)and the Peasent (poor farmer)used banana leaves or plantain leaves to hide from rain.Later on it became unfashionable to use such long handled umbrellas and these were used by the elder ones in our family.After on it turned as a symbol of maturity and orthodox habits that's why the humuor characters such as marriage brokers used to heng them on the back of their shirts or kurthas..
Eventhough young people avoided this type of umbrella for a while it has been used in kudamattam(a popular Event Which takes place in poorams and festival related to temples).If kalan kuda has the ability to speak it will surely express It's gratitude towards pooram and elephant lovers(my wild imagination :p)
We had been teasing this long handled umbrella with a curve at It's end as "karanavar kuda" or "kalan kuda" for a long time and went for several experinents such as three fold,two fold,electronic ,five fold,nano in umbrellas.Fashion it keeps revolving all the time similar to a globe.Stylist had experimented our olden umbrella yup the kalan kuda itself in ramp walks which paved a path for the new trend.
Finally we had end up with kalan kuda not only because of fashion industrial impact but also as a matter of being the unique one with diferent looks and the advantages of these type of umbrellas over the other ones, for eg:it can resist wind to a Good extend compared to the other ones.I think now the present Generation,which i am also being a part of must be realizing the goodiness of olden things instead of teasing them.
