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.
