Recklessness in Malayalam
സാഹസം (saahasam) is recklessness as Malayalis talk about it: a rash act, a risk run without thinking it through. The same noun also means daring or adventure, so the tone depends entirely on who is describing the act. Four beats, with the long vowel in the middle held a touch longer.
