They’re everywhere. In your office, in your locality, in your college. They say that a mallu might even be there on Mars. You can run, you can hide, but there’s no escaping them. Which is not a bad thing because mallus make for really awesome company. Here are 16 reasons why:
You don’t meet mallus , they HAPPEN to you!
1. Unlimited supply of banana chips.
