RE: Ordin'ry infinite—(rabbithole factory.)
Ah, great. I admire Chomsky in his relentless, uncompromised intelectual drive. I think we should dig ourselves constantly, reinvent ourselves constantly. For only in movements there is life. Again poetic comment, huh :) .
I definitely respect anyone that embraces a continual fascination with life, because to be without wonder is to cease to truly live. I've been in periods of my life where I somewhat stand still, and those—like the present—where I take on a bit too much!
Yes. It is true that curiosity is real flesh of life, multidimensionaly so.

I am yet to master anything about Malayalam script myself. Interestingly, many young Keralites have similar problems, which is sad, given how rich this script is.
It's quite difficult. I fell in love with it, though, and got to the point where I could read most signs and newspapers very slowly. I always thought the traditional conjunct characters were so cool.
I thought it was quite sad how the youth in Kerala were mostly indifferent toward their beautiful mother tongue (I was teaching Western Music to kids elementary through college age). I was very surprised to see that they often didn't know their own language too well.
Of course, they were more interested in English so they might be able to get high-paying jobs in other countries. It made sense, but was frustrating because I wanted to escape western culture and found that it followed me wherever I went.
Indians are deeply stucked in paradoxes when it comes to broadly defined West. They admire it, and despise it at the very same time. They love English (and many Indians truly mastered English) but equally often they hate the language. They willingly watch European or American movies but are also quite often totally ignorant when it comes to geography. I have dozens and dozens Indian friends, especially Keralites, Tamils, and Telugus. I have read dozens and dozens books about India. I have watched possibly thousands Indian movies. And yet, i often feel i dont understand this magnificent country, really.
And, i am sure, you have noticed it, Keralites are deeply religious, still being significantly influenced by Left leaning politics.
