In your face, Christopher Nolan

In Indian Mythology; Vamana,an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, is said to have killed the wise and just king of Kerala, Mahabali. It is also said that Kerala is created by Parashurama, another incarnation of Lord Vishnu, by throwing an axe. But isn't Vamana the 5th incarnation of Lord Vishnu and Parashurama the 6th?

This proves that us Mallus, like a lot of other things, came up with the idea of non-linear narrative much before the western world even thought of it. In your face, Christopher Nolan.
