What's so much about lima beans? Well its looks so yuck! but it is in fact are sweet tasting, rich, starchy, have a meaty texture and a creamy, distinctive flavor. Lima beans are nutrient-dense and their richness generates feelings of satiety (they make you feel full).
Have you been just reminded of something you have come across *so* often? Not Lima beans. Most of us may not even heard of these tiny pieces of gem. Not even in my home state, one of the southern most states of India called Kerala *Read with a tag line god's own country ** with god pronounced as gowd** like Nike and Just do it*.
Actually, its not about Lima beans. Its about the ignorance of the
dimunitives that some of ours' heart suffers from. A malayalee in his cryptic self carries with him an embarrassment of his highly rigid egoism and / or self-centeredness to wherever he goes. That is to any friggin' corner of the world. His DNA has deep engravements of skeptisism like.no.other. He's the fastest in the world to conclude on anything. If there was an Olympics for semantics, Keralites will make Indians a super winner in the medal tally. They interpret meanings just the wrong way and convince others that this is the fact.
In the nineties, there was a widespread hype about some simulation called Kerala model in the India economy. Later on, it was rightly interpreted as Kerala Paradox(thanks to people like Jairam Ramesh). Kerala has high literacy rate comparitively, good standard of living and good health index. But low infrastructure & investement, high on crimes, suicides and labor problems. How can that be possible? Well, That's why its called Kerala Paradox.
Lima beans taste bad, look bad but high on nutrition. Malayali psyche looks good, appears adept but tastes so souring. For reasons unknown to many but still there to be seen. I hope you had managed to trace Keralites' wit and lima beans on the graphic of human tolerance.
