Getting a job is often followed by a 'treat' (sweet or meal) for colleagues and family. It is a social obligation. The phrase 'Gulf-il joli kittuka' (getting a job in the Gulf) has been a symbol of prosperity for decades in Kerala. A 'Sarkkar Joli' (Govt job) is considered the 'holy grail' of employment due to job security. With the rise of IT parks in Kochi and Trivandrum, 'IT-il joli kittuka' is the new trend among youth.
