Anthem for all Tam brams

These past few days I have been sitting pretty idle and an idle mind generates lot of thoughts...mostly useless.Nevertheless.I was just thinking if we TamBrams who have been reduced to an insignificant minority ever had a nation of our own and named it "Curdistan"(hope Turkey does not object to the name).I thought I should be given the opportunity to pen the national anthem.Hope it inspires my tam brothers and sisters.It goes like this:

Our Beloved Curd Rice

Sky of burning hot tropical sun
Legend of Rajnikanth
Take a look at my country
Green fields of paddy
Growing our beloved Curd Rice

From the banana leaves
our heroic glory emerged
we never gave up our favorite dish
Our beloved Curd Rice

Chorus:
My country,my country
as your rice field I will be planted
as your curds I will ferment
Oh my beloved Curd Rice!!


With time I was driven out
Out of my vast land
But i still carry with me
my morsel of beloved Curd Rice!!

It stayed with me
Like an eternal friend
Our people may be simple
but we spend lavishly
on our beloved Curd Rice

Chorus:
