Another star from Kerala calls it a day

He is not a sportstar or a movie star. But his name is familiar to malayalies all over the world. His retirement is reported by BBC. He is our very own "Theeta Rappai" from Thrissur. Known for his unlimited appetite, he is famous for consuming 700 idlies on top of 10 kgs of halwa on one go.

BBC honoured him by this headline. India's 'monster eater' retires
It is heard that hotel owners in Thrissur are thinking about resuming their unlimited lunches and buffets.

Yup. I read about it too.

This guy used to be a wonder for us kids whenever we used to spot him in Trichur Round.
