Kochigallan loved this post from Andrine Mendez.

Now this is a very small story about how I became a Gallan !

When I was given the honor to write in Kochi Gallan,it was a mixed state of reaction i had within. I used to contribute for Cochin Square before i started my personal blog site. Now that I was concentrating on it,i was pretty confused.Along with all this I had to also maintain blog sites of Smiley & Archana Kavi,so the confusion was what would i write.

Well these had been running in my mind and I finally found an answer to it today as I was on my ride on way back home.The traffic was unusually scary today and it was also a Tuesday,which only makes it more bad. Anyway as i was traversing through South over bridge I saw some strange movements going on. Finally the police started using the Traffic system installed which had people in debacle over curiosity. i don’t know if it was actually the first time they used it but my guess about the system was true.So it happened then to me “Wow ! i just got my first story to be a Gallan” and i just finished writing it. You can find it here.

And yes i am officially a Gallan ! LOL !”-Andrine Mendez

To be in constant touch with Kochi,Kochigallan has accounts in popular networking sites-twitter,facebook and orkut.

Kochigallan intends to provide Kochi with  refined information (with your help),this 2010.

Ende Ammo!!! Yes the truth has to be disclosed and it becomes a necessary when its about me. It is not just another story to tell but a story that each one of us should learn from. (Or atleast laugh out loud about)… Post the diwali dance dhamaka clubbin session I went off with my friends. They decided to take me off to vypeen but I insisted on going to Fort Kochi (may be bcoz of the “Kochi” factor!!! Oh god am such a narcissist).
So they took me to Fort Kochi and to be honest though I was a total teetotaler I was high on excitement for being with this group of young Gallans. They were singing and I was humming..sorry buzzing. So finally, as we should have, we reached Fort Kochi. Should say it’s a calm place at 2:00 am in the morning. (Ok I know I am a bit early but then who cares it’s my Kochi) so as I said 2:00 am and I was standing there watching the Chinese nets being pulled up by some fisher men.
All of a sudden I saw a vehicle come by. Yes it was our very own police (the true mallu cops). I was scared and I could hear my wings shivering (I know I am exaggerating a bit but I was indeed scared). The usual questions were asked and the usual unusual answers were given. We were thrown into the police jeep. Well the police guy was a good chap, thought we would have been trashed for being there at this eerie time frame, coz he didn’t even talked rudely.
We were taken to the station. Yes the police station and I was taken for a alcohol test. It’s really not an easy job to prove that you aren’t drunk. Well what really took me by surprise was the interaction we had with the SI at the station. He was not only telling us, where we went wrong but he also told us what we shouldn’t do as responsible citizens. I told him who I am and he smiled (am I funny or am I so cute. well I will conduct a survey on that soon). But it was kinda koool!!!!! to be interacting with the police and trust me unlike the bad cops in the movies(well most of them) this people were true examples of perfection with a sense of humanity. I learnt about what to and what not to do!!!! We left the station after completing the formalities and walked out of the station… I know it is not the right place to be in but couldn’t have missed on being there. Thanks to these young guys who gave me the experience of the visit to the police station. But well as it would be said in the history of the “GALLAN SAGA”  that is “Kochi Gallan’ey Police Piddichu”
