In Gladiator, the movie, the slave master Proximo says,
"So finally after five years of scratching a living in flea infested villages, we are finally going back to where we belong ... the Colosseum."
"Oh ... you should see the Colosseum! Spaniard,"
In my recent short trip home, I saw a small procession on the road. To do with continuous education and literacy campaign. And in front of that procession there was a group of 'chendakkar'. This suddenly made me remember this line from Gladiator. They looked kind of misfit in that setting, tarred road and banners, trying to make something, a living, out of their skill in percussion.
Would they feel a better sense of belonging if they are in 'Thaekkinkad Maithanam' instead, doing it for Thrissur pooram?
Where do I belong? ... :-)
