A Mother’s three Children

Rama killed Ravana, change this into passive voice, is a common question which is present even nowadays in question papers of several lower school classes. Rama is our beloved Srirama and Ravana the same old King of Lanka. From time immemorial this question revolves around several question papers all over India and especially Kerala. But no teacher lost his/her hand during the course of this teaching from active to passive. Various other statements like Rama killed a snake, Krishna defeated Rama and various other characters in the Hindu mythology has taken a strong position in sharing knowledge to the upcoming aspirants. Till date no one has expressed concern over this or has vehemently attacked the question bearers staking claim over Rama as Lord Srirama and Snake as Lord Ananthan. A famous left sympathizer has written a play entitled “Easwaran arrestil” directly attacking the Hindu traditions and Gods. Kerala’s renowned lyricist Vayalar has wrote several lines against God even claiming that the God is blind. Even the latest Movie of ace director Maniratnam has glorified Ravana to greater elevations atop of the personality of Rama.

The mimicry troupes all over Kerala sarcastically portrays Hindu Gods even for programs conducted in temples as part of the annual feasts.. In several Malayalam films comedians do the role of Oracles. The astrologers are treated in a funny way.The Saints and Sadhus usually have a shade of a failed love affair or of that of a rogue lover who comes during night in Malayalam films. The Christian priests are often sarcastically portrayed for their snail paced rhythm based dialogue delivering skill. Ace script writer Ranji Panicker has attacked the Bishops and fake ‘Man Gods’ in a gruesome way on his several movies like “Ekalavyan” and “Lelam”. The above mentioned facts were all received well with great applause immaterial of caste, creed sex, majority or minority. By the mere knowledge that we have, it is sure that these all people escaped unhurt. But a poor Professor hailing from Muvattupuzha lost his hand when he prepared a question. What revolution has taken place in Kerala to make this incident happen is really absconding. What is the difference between the then Kerala and the present Kerala? It is cent percent sure that we have gone lot many steps ahead in the fields of education. But something is really lacking and leaking and something has changed tremendously. Culture is really lacking and leaking and the mindset has been infiltrated with high intense community based venoms. Who are the villains? Is it politicians or our mind itself ? An introspection must be made to unravel the same.
Skipping back to the same old story of Prof.T.J.Joseph of Newman College, Thodupuzha The wordings in the question paper prepared by Prof.T.J Joseph of Newman college is an adaptation from ""Thirakadhayude Reethisasthram" a book written P.T. Kunjumohammed (Director of Mohanlal Starer Malayalam fim Paradesi) a famous left sympathizer.In that book, an insane character used to talk with ‘Allah, the most benevolent and merciful’ five times a day usually during off times and used to interact with him asking silly, unethical questions. One day
Allah got angry and used some bad words to scold him. This conversation was quoted in the question paper for adding appropriate symbols as this book being a reference material for second B.Com Malayalam Supplementary. The Professor while making the question paper gave a name to that insane as Mohammed. A section of people residing in hundred percent literate Kerala misquoted that as Prophet Mohammed and made the Professor a culprit.
Some hooligans and politicians raised this issue for their own vested interest and the Government arrested him to please the minorities and to capture their votes. The police handcuffed him and gave a strong wrong message that he is a culprit or he has done anything wrong without going into the merit of the incident, finally leading to the chopping of his palm. The untimely interference of the Government has acted as a catalyst for the fundemantal forces to execute the crime.

It was there in reports that a section of people representing an organization called “Solidarity” rushed to the hospital to donate blood, which is highly appreciable and praiseworthy. Keralites should stand in unison to fight against these type of activities irrespective of caste creed or sex. They should try to sideline or corner the fundamentalists and should act as espionages to prevent such kind of extremist activities for general public. What will go to the share of ALLAH from the chopped palm of Professor. What is the aerial lead that the fundamentalists’ can take from the chopping incident. The act of a section of community has taken the religion 50years backward back to the bullock cart era, which was quite unheard that time also. Let us stand in unsion as the Children of Mother India,
“”Ram Amir and Joseph””

മരണത്തിനു മുന്പേ എന്ത് സംഭവിക്കും : ഒരു പകല്‍ സ്വപ്നത്തിന്റെ കഥ


A Session between Life and Death:- Praveen Sakalya

It was on a happy Sunday evening myself and wife were gearing up for a photo session to mark the event of our upcoming first wedding anniversary. Suddenly my mobile phone rang with the dreadful music of Nagavally (the female protagonist of Superhit Malayalam Film, Manichitratazhu). It was my PhD guide and Boss, who asked me to report at Kayamkulam the very next day morning to form the part of our ongoing research survey of Ministry of Earth Science , Government of India to unravel some sub-surface information. My joy had no bounds when it was heard that my favourite colleague and one of my trusted Lieutenant Sreekanth is joining with me for this field work.

Monday early morning we started from Thiruvananthapuram towards Kayamkulam by our own official chariot. We reached there by 8:30 after breaking for a small refreshment at Kayamkulam. We started the work with the help of local workers. A 10m high drilling machine drills below the surface and take mud samples upto 15m depth on an interval of 0.5m.

Our duty was to sort these samples, bifurcate and categorize them into different carry bags according to their layers and finally to write a description based on their texture composition. This process continued, since they provided a sample every 30 minute.
Due to extreme humidity I borrowed a mattress from the immediate neighbourhood and took a shelter under a shade until the next sample get ready. I don’t know, when or how I was eloped into a small sleep. There comes the villain, a mid-day dream and the dream is as follows:
I was traveling in our own official car with our driver, me seated on the front seat . The car was moving comparatively in a good speed. Suddenly the car exploded, with huge noise. I can’t understand what is happening. 100% full of darkness. Breathing gets tougher for me. I knew that I was dying.

Suddenly the memorable events in my life flashed through my mind like a slide show, right from my birth, childhood, college days, job, marriage and finally the phone call of boss and the photo session which happened the other day. I was yielding to my death. Suddenly innumerable sound came from all the sides saying “bye, bye…..bye from this world”. I made it 100% sure that I am bidding farewell to my life here, in this World. I felt guilty of not finishing my Phd. I felt sorry to die without completing my PhD. One second I thought about my family members. Who will take them to outings if I am not there, and also about my wife. Any way I was confident that any way she will not suffer as she has a job as an officer with a leading Nationalized Bank.

At that time sounds of motor and thick dark fumes started spreading. I felt like vomiting. I prayed to God, no problem I will die but let me die peacefully without suffocation. God…..the inestimate provider of benevolence and mercy, help me…..I tried to open my eyes, but I can’t. I felt thirsty but I am unable. Finally I decided to stop my resistance and defence. OK bye I am dying. I made it sure.

Suddenly someone gave me a huge push to my body and shook my head, I opened my eyes, it was Sreekanth. Da..the next sample is ready. I heard the sound produced from the drilling machine and the thick dark fumes, the very same thing which I saw minutes before. I was really 100% sweating as if I had taken a bath. I realized….this time also I escaped, It was a dream….I recognized with a huge sigh of relief.

I don’t know whether these are all the primary steps we encounter before leaving this world ? May be, Who knows? Again prayer to God Almighty, let not this happen even if we die……………

സുകുമാര്‍ Azhikode



It was through the New Indian express that I came to know about an interview with Prof.Vilasiny the old fiancee and soulmate of Prof.Sukumar Azhikod. The revelations made by Prof.Vilasiny in that interview is shocking and it exposed the psuedo face of Azhikod. She spoke with ample proof, facts and figures with lot of supporting evidence. She still holds a ray of hope for a person who violated moral ethics.If a person is not trustworthy to himself and his consciousness how can he guide the society. If Azhikode violated the promise he made to teacher years before, Joshy can also break the same with Thilakan.

The arrogance he showed towards Mohanlal is gruesome. Actually he is in a whirl of frustration and intolerance. He cant tolerate people growing and gaining importance more than him. Sir, It is high time to stop your verbal vomiting and megalomaniac behaviour otherwise Keralites will provide a deaf ear to you.

If Mr.Innocent is totally fit for that name, You are unfit for your name..as per Vilasiny teacher's excerpts

Kanichukulangara verdict: A black mark to Indian Judiciary


Kanichukulangara verdict: A black mark to Indian judiciary


The most sensational and gruesome murder that happened in Kerala "Kanichukulangara" murder case lost its seriousness by the recent verdict of the case by the fast track court Allapuzha and transmitted a clear message to the comman man that Indian judiciary acts by the evidences and from the mouth of the witness which all are a varying parameter controlled and manipulated by power and money cremating the facts, figures, real incident and the motive behind it as time goes by. The story of the incident is as follows

Binnesh and Sajith the Managing Directors of Himalya Chit fund with their close associate Ramesh grew in to a multifirm meganomaniac business establishment with so many quotable misdeeds . Ramesh who values himself for the moral deeds of a citizen resigns from their acquaintance and starts a new company namely "Everest" which grew up into a much elevated transcend establishment making them Zealots.The diffident musty people lost their virility in business got debilitated convoked and planned to kill ramesh which they accomplished with the help of a lorry driver who killed him viciously in the form of an accident taking two more lives of his relatives.

Its quite obvious and prima-facie for cats and dogs too that bineesh and sajith are the real culprits they must be severely punished. Here turns the story when the case appeared before the court. The defence lawyer first argued that the culprits were innocent. When the prosecution proved the sooth against the defence the defence lawyer told that it should be treated only as a simple murder and the culprits were only planning to kill ramesh. ( I hope judiciary looks not on the quantity of murder)
When the verdcict came the people who planned got life time imprisonment (very very less than the expected and required) and a rented killer got death(very very high than the expected and required). It is a dubious verdict , which the culprits can mollify by an appeal petition. The arduous effort of the the comman man who expected a lot resulted in vain. This verdict is a harbinger for the people who trust judiciary and police.

This is a chapter of usual scenario in India judiciary where a culprit escapes through the loop hole of evidence. Any one can commit any sort of crime which can be overcomed during the trial period with the help of manipulated witness and fabricated evidences. It's a shame to Indian Judiciary eventhough with the aid of fast track courts. Courts and proceedings must be much more fast closing all the loop holes for a culprit to escape.

Otherwise defence lawyers like LalKrishna Viradiyar (The protagonist in "Chinthamani Kolacase" sureshgopi starrer shajikailas film) must be encouraged who balances the cosmic law.
