text: why are keralites fond of setting up bakeries? are there malyali bakeries across the world. do you know of any buddy, let this 'malayalee' or 'keralite' [that's the proper way to classify us !] assure you that, as a race, we are not 'fond of setting up bakeries' - because none of our own culinary delights are of the baked kind ! ...an enterprising race, wherever we migrate, keralites are fabled for setting-up shops to meet the locals' needs : so, if some malayalees are openings bakeries in your part of this world, it is only because you and your folks must be blatantly exhibiting a 'felt need' for baked stuff ! ...with us, it is always a question of providing a supply when spotting a demand !   ...the only possible exceptions to this, are the malayalee tea-shops found all over the world - to quench the discerning keralite's thirst for a decent 'glass' of 'chudu chaaya' [hot tea], made in exactly the same way, as 'amma' [mummy] would ! ...legend hath it, that when sir edmund hillary and tenzing norgay had first reached the peak of mount everest, they had found that a keralite had already set-up shop there - and was waiting to welcome them with a warm cuppa tea ! ...you're bound to find many many more of such keralite entrepreneurs, 'across the world' for sure !
