Language culture food and attitude changes every 100 miles. Kerala is a small state in south India, neighbouring my state of Tamil Nadu. It must be a unique experience dealing with your youngest daughter's in laws. Yes we too have the disease of various 'classes' and castes (in other words racism)
Shaving of heads is pretty common all over the world but women shaving their heads is found only in India, not common in affluent class. Here i have shown shaving of heads connected with post death rituals. Later on heads are shaved for various reasons, happy or sad. People spend a lot of money to celebrate the event.
