Thirsty?

Try kurumba. A local, continental beverage, available island wide. Kurumba is the immature version of the pol (coconut).

If you do not think of growing coconut, you cannot consume kurumba and we cannot cook ala (potato) curry or pol sambol. (Mixture of finely grated coconut, salt to taste, about half a tea spoon of lime, one or two curry leaves, finely chopped garlic)

Whether you drink kurumba or eat green gram with grated coconut depends on ‘availability of coconut’ in the market. To the market my dear colleagues, friends, coconuts do not arrive from moon or from space. You have to grow coconut or at least you must refrain from cutting down coconut trees, if you have any further plans to consume coconut in the future.

Friend, you can reach moon without any passports. How? All what you have to do is ‘read the price lists of coconut at local markets (super or super, super). If anyone at any counter asks you ‘your reason to visit this island, say it is not cookies this time, it is locally grown kurumba.

If you are ready to pay Rs. 60/= you can consume kurumba with no difficulty, of course if you know the technique of consuming / drinking kurumba without a straw, protecting cleanliness of your ‘master suit’.

Friends, do not worry at all, if you have no interests towards consuming kurumba. These what I am saying here applicable to those who love kurumba and do not hate coconut.

And in this what century (?) 25th Century (?) we live, you will have to find a man who has the ability to climb a coconut tree in order to pluck coconut. If you know no man with the ability mentioned above, you can stop growing coconut and start seeking alternatives. Kurumba is kurumba and thambili is thambili (king coconut) I do not know what policy the government must introduce, if you know no man thinking of growing coconut or know how to pluck coconut without really climbing it (the tree dear friends).
Do not try to analyze the meaning of the word, king coconut (one of the favorite beverages of many in the country and across globe) It is not something that kings permitted to drink and others are prohibited.  No bar, you can select the type you like to consume. Choice is yours, whether to drink kurumba forgetting king coconut or drinking king coconut forgetting kurumba.

By the way, do not try to buy kurumba from the nearest liquor shop.

And dear friends, if our people decided to stop growing coconut and start cultivating more brinjalls instead, remember, there will be no curries serving cooked with coconut oil, kokis & Kewum (sweet meats) fried in deep oil.

By the way stop insulting the mothers of others, even if they know no cooking using coconut/ coconut oil. Following are some of the users of consuming kurumba

While gossiping with your never changing friends try sip kurumba. It will definitely boost or enhance your abilities of gossiping in any future to come.

Kurumba can be used or introduced as an alternative for teens who shows interests towards liquor and cigar, when partying.

Expect more talks about coconut in the near future from the speeches of all chair members, beetle members, discussions of swans together with elephants, while some offer coconut pooja for Goddesses and gods asking various help like in the last presidential election of America.   

Can we sell coconut or kurumba in America just because we buy flour from them or just because they follow the strategies of Open Economy?

Can we sell kurumba in the countries of OPEC, just because we buy their oil?

Can you export our kurumba to the islands, sisiliana just because we purchase what they grow in their Island?  
Thank you reading.
