ഇതിലും നല്ല ഒരു തലകെട്ട് കിട്ടിയതാന്, എന്ക്കിലും എന്‍റെ വായനകാര്‍ മുങം തിരിച്ചലോ എന്ന് കരുതി ഇത്തിരി സഭ്യമായ ഭാഷയില്‍ ഇങ്ങനെ ഇട്ടു എന്നെ ഉള്ളു.
നമ്മുടെ കഥാനായകന്‍ ആണ് "പൊന്നു". ഇത ഞാന്‍ മുന്‍പ്‌ എഴുതിയ കഥയിലെ പൊന്നപ്പന്‍ അല്ലാട്ടോ . ആദ്യം കയ്യില്‍ കിട്ടിയ പേരിട്ടു എന്നെ ഉള്ളു. പൊന്നു ഒരു 6 അടി 2 ഇഞ്ച്‌ കാരന്‍[കൃത്യം അറിയില്ല].മൂപരെ ഒരു എഞ്ചിനീയറിംഗ് സ്ഥാപനത്തില്‍ വര്ക്ക് ചെയുന്നു. ആ പാവം സ്വസ്ഥമായി ജീവിച്ചു പോകുന്നു. അങ്ങനെ ഇരിക്കെ, എനിക്ക് പരിജയമുള്ള ഒരു പെണ്‍കുട്ടിയുമായി മൂപരുടെ കല്യാണം നിശ്ചയിച്ചു. അതാണ നമ്മുടെ കഥാനായിക. സുന്ദരി, സുമുങി, അങ്ങനെ പല വിശേഷങ്ങളും ചേരുന്ന ഒരു തരുണിമണി. പേരു "സുന്ദരി". സുന്ദരി ഒരു s\w കമ്പനിയില്‍ ജോലി നോകുന്നു.
പൊന്നുവിനെ കല്യാണ നിശ്ചയ ശേഷം സുന്ദരിയോടെ കടുത്ത പ്രണയം. ഒരു ദിവസം പോലും സുന്ദരിയുടെ സുന്ദര സ്വരം കേള്‍ക്കാതിരിക്കാന്‍ വയ്യ. ആ പാവം തന്‍റെ ജോലി എല്ലാം തീര്‍ത്ത ഒരു 10-11 മണിയാവുമ്പോള്‍ സുന്ദരിയെ വിളിക്കും. സുന്ദരി ആണെങ്ങില്‍ അപ്പോഴായിരിക്കും ജോലി തീര്നെ വീട്ടില്‍ എത്തിയ്ടുണ്ടാവുക. ചില സമയങ്ങളില്‍ ഓഫീസില്‍ തന്നെ ആയിരിക്കും. അതിനാല്‍ ഇ ഫോണ്‍ വിളി സുന്ദരിക്ക്‌ ആരോജഗമായി അനുബവപെടുമായിരുന്നു. പലപ്പോഴും സുന്ദരി ഫോണ്‍ എടുകുമായിരുനില്ല.

Robinhood
Yesterday we went to watch the movie Robinhood. This is not a review for the movie.
Anoop called me by 11 and asked to book the ticket. I checked the site, but was not able to book. Ticket was available in SMS balcony. So I asked Anoop to send an SMS and reserve the ticket, and he did. We booked 4 tickets. I reached our flat by 7:30. Now we have another problem. We have reserved only 4 tickets an we were 5. Mani-Ettan had came. We started to theater and reached there by 8. I went to collect ticket and if possible get another ticket. As tickets were sold out, I couldn't get the extra ticket. So we had to buy it in black. we payed 140 for 70 Rs ticket.
Movie started and by interval we all knew that our money is gone. Anoop showed us someone and said, its the director of the movie 'Madambi', Unnikrishnan. Ajmal ameer was also present in the hall. And another TV serial artist. So the theater was star studded. We went to cafeteria and were joking about the movie. Suddenly Anoop got up and Went to Unnikrishnan and talked to him. Unnikrishnan gave a shake hand and asked the details of Anoop.
The interval was over and we headed to theater. Suddenly person in front of Anoop fell down. Director was also near by. They bothe helped the man to get up and he went. We started to theater hall. Director was in front of Anoop and Anoop commented: "ഇത്രയെ ഉള്ളു മനുഷ്യരുടെ കാര്യം. എത്ര ഉയരത്തിലിരുനാലും ഒന്ന് ശ്രദ്ധ തെറ്റിയാല്‍ താഴെ എത്തും. [ethraye ullu manushayarude kaaryam. Ethra uyarathilirunalum onnu shradha thetiyal thazhe ethum.]"
Movie was over and we headed to car park. A Skoda was there. Hari pointed to it and it was Ajmal. We waved our hand. He lowered the glass of the car and waved at us and drove away. Suddenly we had an idea. Hari got into car and half raised the car window. We stood back and Anoop said little loudly to me and sivaprasad. "നോക്കെടാ! അത് അ സീരിയല്‍ ആക്ടര്‍ അല്ലെ? ഏഷ്യാനെറ്റില്‍ ഉള്ള? [Nokeda! ade a serial actor alle? Asianetil ulla?]". siva prasad,' അതേടാ, അതെ [Ade da ade]' and we waved our hands. Hari waved buck to us. People were looking at hari. we heared some one from behind saying. "ഏഷ്യാനെറ്റിലെ സീരിയലില്‍ ഉള്ള ആളല്ലേ ? [Asianetile serialil ulla aalalle?]". another one replied, "അല്ല , അമ്രിതയിലെ സീരിയലില്‍ വരുന്ന ആളാ [Alla, Amrithayile serialil varunna aala]".
In the mean time Hari was getting the car out of parking lot. He drove towards us and stopped in front of us. We stood for a moment as we were astonished and then got into the car. From inside the car we could clearly see the surprise of the people who were just talking about seeing Hari in some serials. We were laughing till we reached our flat.

Elephant < Friendship
[Sorry friends, for delay. I was too busy last month and had some problems with net connection at room. And more over I was having some trouble in framing a story. I had put a Fish-tank for the time being :).]
Pre-Text: This story has nothing to deal with Elephant's friendship. One question for all of you before going to the story: Which one is bigger, Elephant or Friendship?
The hero of our story is Ponnukutty [also known as Ponnu, Ponnappan , ponnappan, ponnuettan, thankappan]. It was the occasion of festival at our place [Naagam-Ganapathy vela, for those who know]. Our Ponu's best friend is Unnikrishnan, who is working in SBT. Unni had brought his friends for the festival. Ponnu has taken the responsibility of taking care of the guests. As usual all of them had become surveyors [Hope you know what I mean] by the evening due to the day long partying.
Unni and his friends left to see the elephant procession. Ponnu was left at home due to his condition. This particular elephant was little notorious one, culprit in several human attacking cases. One of his friends, Sajith [I think], went too close to this elephant, not knowingly, but due to his condition. Elephant tried to kick Sajith with his hind leg. He escaped narrowly with the help of his other friends. After this they went to Ponnu's place and explained the whole incident to him. Now Ponnu got angry. He said to Sajith 'Ne va ende koode' [u come with me] and took him to the elephant procession.
When they reached there Ponnu asked Sajith, ‘which elephant is it?,. Sajith showed him the elephant. 'Evanano ninne chavittan vannade?' [Is this the one who tried to kick u?].. Before anyone could realize what was happening Ponnu has kicked the elephant in its hind leg. He was again going to kick. His friends had to carry him away forcefully to avoid mishaps.[By Gods grace elephant did nothing. I think it even didn’t knew about the kick]
After this incident our Ponnu got one more name.. 'Aane Chavitti'..
Thats our Ponnu..
Snehikunnavarku chanku parichu kodukkum..
Aanaye chavittum..
How many of you have a friend like Ponnu, who is ready to fight with elephant for friendship?
WE HAVE!!!!
"Ne Ponnappan alla, Ne Thangappanalle… Thani Thangam"

My Humanitarian Concerns.. :(
Last week I was traveling by train from Aluva to Thrissur. I got into the compartment. It was too crowded. Anyway I found a place to stand near the door. The compartment was chair-car model. I was surveying the compartment. I saw a man standing near to me. He was half blind [I think, as he could see things with difficulty.]
The people sitting in the chairs near him has noticed him. But I noticed that no one provided him a seat. The people sitting included youngsters also. but non seemed to help that blind man. I felt very bad. I thought this is the state of God's own country. A blind person, in a crowded train is not provided by a seat. The train reached Angamaly and some of the people sitting got out of the train. Some people standing hurried to sit, but still no one offered this blind person a seat.
Now that got me angry. I was fuming. I thought nobody in this compartment had any sympathy to that blind man? I decided, next time if this blind person is not provided a seat, when it gets vacant, I'm gonna shout at these person. I will ask them, don't anyone has any sympathy etc. . I was preparing what all things I should say. I noticed that the blind person picked up his bag now. He was searching for something in his bag. He got 2-3 small cashew nut packets, that we see at shops, which may cost 5-10 Rs. Now Mr. Blind man showed that packets to the very next person and said, "Oru packet pathe roopa"[One packet, 10 rupees] .
I was shocked. I thought what would have happened if I had shouted at these person. Now I got to know the real scene. this person would have come there selling cashews. As that is the last compartment, he stopped there and waited for sometime. The people sitting there knew that he was a vendor and so none was bothered to give him a seat. What would have happened if I had shouted at those sitting? Phewww!! That was close..
[I decided I won't show any humanitarian concerns until I got to know the full scenario...]

Driving License..!!
[This is a story of my office colleague. There is a blog named Office Visheshangal. This blog publishes stories that happen in our office. My colleagues think that I’m the author of that blog. This is my final attempt to say that, I’m not. This is what I’ll do when I get a story. I’ll put that in my own blog. :)]
After a long & tiring one moth driving class my friend Martha went to give her driving tests. First was giving “H” test, which she gave nicely. Now it was her turn to give the road test.
She was in the driver’s seat, the officer in the front seat, and her tutor in the back seat. She started to drive. The vehicle was going in a zigzag manner. The officer had to hold the steering wheel to prevent the car from hitting other vehicles. When it was time to take turns she will look to her side and at that time the car will go some where else. It was like, others in the car were praying to get out of the car safely.
Officer asked her to park the car [may be coz, he had enough adventure with his life]. At that time Martha remembered to her luck that she had to show hand signal while stopping the car. She looked to her left to find is there any vehicle behind her. She couldn’t get a full view and left the steering. The officer had to control the steering and apply the break to prevent the car from crashing. After the car stopped, Martha switched off the engine. The officer looked at Martha and then to her tutor. He said nothing. But his eyes where like asking the tutor: Have brought this girl here to kill me?
Martha got out. Her tutor came to the driving seat and Martha shifted to back seat. The officer was trying to get out of the car. His one leg was inside the car. Tutor turned on the engine of the car and the car moved immediately. Martha hadn’t shifted the gear to neutral. The officer fell down. Tutor turned and looked at Martha. She was looking somewhere else as if nothing happened.
The surprise came some days afterward when Martha received her driving license that too without giving a single Rupee as bribe. Maybe that officer would have thought like this: If I don’t give this girl her license, she would come again to give the test. This time I escaped somehow. Next time.. It’s better to give her the license now.
What an IDEA Marthaaa...!!!
Bottom Line: People, move out of Footpaths. Redkillers, Give way!! Coz, Marth's got a License....

Manu's Chappal
Manu was walking to his home. His class had finished by 4. After that, he with Aashiq went to 'Mathai chettan's rubber estate to gather rubber seeds. A kilo of seeds will fetch him 10rs. He had a pouch which will be of half kg in his school bag. After that he and Aashiq directly went to panchayath ground n played cricket there. They stopped playing only when they couldn't see the ball anymore, due to dim light. Aashiq was there with Manu till they reached Canal-Bridge, from there Aashiq turns left to reach his home.
Manu will have to walk for 5 more minutes to reach his home. Amma will scold him today. She has asked him to reach before 6. When they asked time to Rajeshettan before leaving the ground, it was already 6:40. Manu was hungry too. He hasn’t had anything after the lunch. Anyway he was happy about his rubber seeds. He got around half kg today, which was better than yesterday’s. Now he could sell this with the seeds at home. It will be around 5 kg, which will fetch him tom 50rs. He was planning, what all to do with that money.
He had to pay school fee which is around 11rs. Rest he will spend in buying slippers. The straps of the slippers he was wearing will break anytime. He has changed its strap twice. Manu was not willing to change strap anymore, he want a new chappal.
'Where were you till now? Why you can now? You could have gone some-where that way itself.'
Manu had not realized that he had reached his home. His Amma was cleaning plates and basins. He noticed her only when she started to shout at him. It’s around 7 now. Manu was about to enter the house when Amma said, 'Don't enter. Stay there.' Then she started to murmur something to herself. Manu didn't say anything. If he says something, she’ll start to shout again. Anyway this is not new to him. He will sit in the verandah for sometime, after that she’ll call him in. Then she’ll say sorry & cry a little, saying 'I was worried about you. Don't be late again' & all...
Manu's Amma works in a match factory. She reaches by 6 everyday and wants to see him at home when she comes. Manu's Achan had passed away 3 years back. He was a tapping worker at Mathai chettan's estate. He died because of jaundice. From then Amma is working in Match factory. He has no brothers or sisters. Manu was thinking about his family.
One good thing about sitting out is, Amma won't ask him to study. He can simply lie there at Verandah. By 8 PM Amma called Manu in, and things happened as usual, her crying and complaining.
That night he dreamed of Chappals. He was wearing a new Chappal, going to school with it, showing it to Aashiq. Playing with it, running around, roaming with it.
He got up late next day. It’s Saturday. He brushed, bathed and had breakfast. Then he gathered all his rubber seeds and took it in a bag. He went to Aashiq's house. Aashiq had a big house. His father is in Gulf. He has got TV and Fridge at his home. Aashiq used to explain to him about cartoons, cinemas and cricket matches. Aashiq was standing in front of the house when Manu reached there. When told him about rubber seeds, he said, 'I don't have enough to sell. Anyway I’ll come with you.' And he went in and came back wearing a new shirt. They started to 'PVS oil shop'. Karunettan was there. He weighed the seeds Manu gave, which was of 6 kilos. Karunettan gave 60 Rs. Manu was very happy. He and Aashiq went to Moideen-ekka's shop. There he saw a blue & white chappal. He liked it & asked its price. Moideen told them it’s of Rs.40 & said, currently he don't have the size that will fit Manu. Manu, 'I don’t need it now. I have to ask my Amma. When you will have chappal of my size?'. Moideen, 'I'm going to town today evening. You can buy it tomorrow'. Manu,' Will this shop be open tomorrow?'. Moideen, 'I have got some work at home. If it gets over by noon, I’ll open the shop in the afternoon'. Manu, 'So I’ll come tomorrow then'. And they left the shop. That day evening, Manu told Amma about getting 60Rs for rubber seeds, and asked permission to buy a new Chappal, which she happily allowed.
Next day he went to ground to play cricket. But he couldn't concentrate on the game. His mind was at Moideen-ekka's shop. At about 1 PM he ran to Shop, but it was closed the shop. Karunettan was sitting there beside the shop. He asked Manu, 'what’s it?' He asked about moideenekka. Karunettan told him, 'moideen met with a bike accident today morning. Not serious, But a wound in his leg. He won't be opening the shop for a week.'
Manu was so dejected. There was no other shop in his place where he could by Chappals. He came back to home. He told Amma about moideenekka. He then gave the money to Amma, for keeping it safe till moideen-ekka opens the shop
That night he thought of starting a footwear shop. He decided to start a footwear shop when he grow up. So that kids like him won't be troubled when they come to buy chappals. He thought of names for the shop and what all types of chappals he will sell and all.
He went to moideenekka's shop every evening after school to see whether it’s open or not, everyday. But disappointment was the result. Ten days passed. That Thursday, when he went to check, shop was open. He went there and asked about chappal of his size. It was there. He tried it. It fits him perfectly. He asked moideenekka to keep it aside and said he will run to home & will bring the money. He ran to home. But Amma hasn't reached its only 5. He waited impatiently. He searched the home for his money but couldn't. By 6 Amma came. She was carrying a bag. He ran to her and asked for the money. She didn't answer. When she reached home, she took out a set of straps & said, 'Manu kutta, I didn't get my wages. So I had to use your money for buying rice and other provisions. I had bought you a new set of straps. I’ll get you a new chappal next month'. Manu started crying. He said, 'I dont need straps. I need a new chappal.' Amma, 'wear it now. I’ll get a new one later.' she tried to hold manu in her hands, but in vein. He was crying. He lie down at verandah. After some resisting finally manu allowed Amma to place her hand on his head. She took his head and placed it in her lap. She stroked his hair. And soon Manu fell asleep.
He dreamed of Chappals. In his dream, He saw blue Chappals. He went behind it, but chappal stated to run. He also ran behind it, but he couldn't catch. Moideenekka, Aashiq, karunettan where standing there laughing at him. He ran & ran but still couldn't get the chappals. He felt exhausted. At that time Amma called him. It was 9 and Amma had called him to have dinner.
Next day morning Manu went to school in his old chappals with n strap...
Manu will have to walk for 5 more minutes to reach his home. Amma will scold him today. She has asked him to reach before 6. When they asked time to Rajeshettan before leaving the ground, it was already 6:40. Manu was hungry too. He hasn’t had anything after the lunch. Anyway he was happy about his rubber seeds. He got around half kg today, which was better than yesterday’s. Now he could sell this with the seeds at home. It will be around 5 kg, which will fetch him tom 50rs. He was planning, what all to do with that money.
He had to pay school fee which is around 11rs. Rest he will spend in buying slippers. The straps of the slippers he was wearing will break anytime. He has changed its strap twice. Manu was not willing to change strap anymore, he want a new chappal.
'Where were you till now? Why you can now? You could have gone some-where that way itself.'
Manu had not realized that he had reached his home. His Amma was cleaning plates and basins. He noticed her only when she started to shout at him. It’s around 7 now. Manu was about to enter the house when Amma said, 'Don't enter. Stay there.' Then she started to murmur something to herself. Manu didn't say anything. If he says something, she’ll start to shout again. Anyway this is not new to him. He will sit in the verandah for sometime, after that she’ll call him in. Then she’ll say sorry & cry a little, saying 'I was worried about you. Don't be late again' & all...
Manu's Amma works in a match factory. She reaches by 6 everyday and wants to see him at home when she comes. Manu's Achan had passed away 3 years back. He was a tapping worker at Mathai chettan's estate. He died because of jaundice. From then Amma is working in Match factory. He has no brothers or sisters. Manu was thinking about his family.
One good thing about sitting out is, Amma won't ask him to study. He can simply lie there at Verandah. By 8 PM Amma called Manu in, and things happened as usual, her crying and complaining.
That night he dreamed of Chappals. He was wearing a new Chappal, going to school with it, showing it to Aashiq. Playing with it, running around, roaming with it.
He got up late next day. It’s Saturday. He brushed, bathed and had breakfast. Then he gathered all his rubber seeds and took it in a bag. He went to Aashiq's house. Aashiq had a big house. His father is in Gulf. He has got TV and Fridge at his home. Aashiq used to explain to him about cartoons, cinemas and cricket matches. Aashiq was standing in front of the house when Manu reached there. When told him about rubber seeds, he said, 'I don't have enough to sell. Anyway I’ll come with you.' And he went in and came back wearing a new shirt. They started to 'PVS oil shop'. Karunettan was there. He weighed the seeds Manu gave, which was of 6 kilos. Karunettan gave 60 Rs. Manu was very happy. He and Aashiq went to Moideen-ekka's shop. There he saw a blue & white chappal. He liked it & asked its price. Moideen told them it’s of Rs.40 & said, currently he don't have the size that will fit Manu. Manu, 'I don’t need it now. I have to ask my Amma. When you will have chappal of my size?'. Moideen, 'I'm going to town today evening. You can buy it tomorrow'. Manu,' Will this shop be open tomorrow?'. Moideen, 'I have got some work at home. If it gets over by noon, I’ll open the shop in the afternoon'. Manu, 'So I’ll come tomorrow then'. And they left the shop. That day evening, Manu told Amma about getting 60Rs for rubber seeds, and asked permission to buy a new Chappal, which she happily allowed.
Next day he went to ground to play cricket. But he couldn't concentrate on the game. His mind was at Moideen-ekka's shop. At about 1 PM he ran to Shop, but it was closed the shop. Karunettan was sitting there beside the shop. He asked Manu, 'what’s it?' He asked about moideenekka. Karunettan told him, 'moideen met with a bike accident today morning. Not serious, But a wound in his leg. He won't be opening the shop for a week.'
Manu was so dejected. There was no other shop in his place where he could by Chappals. He came back to home. He told Amma about moideenekka. He then gave the money to Amma, for keeping it safe till moideen-ekka opens the shop

Untold Love!!
This is the story of Angad, Pallavi and Srijith.
Angad & Pallavi were good friends, not just good friends, they were best friends. They where together since their school days. Both of them were so close that they can sense other's mood just by hearing a sound or just by looking each other's face.
Then one day Pallavi got a marriage proposal. From Srijith.Pallavi' parents were keen in this proposal as Srijith was well settled software engineer. They had asked Pallavi, is there nything between her & Angad, to which she had said no, as she & Angad thought there is nothing in between them & they are just friends. And so Pallavi and Srijith got engaged. As any other couples they started to talk in mobile for long long times n meet often.
This all resulted in Angad being little restless. When ever Angad tries to call Pallavi,she would be engaged.If also he gets connection, she will be tierd to talk. Now Angad realized that he was in love with Pallavi. But what to do now? She is engaged. He tried to hide it. But he couldn't lead a normal life as her thoughts haunting him.
When there was just 5 days remaining for Palavi's marriage, Angad went to Pallavi's home with a pearl neclace as her wedding gift. She met Pallavi and said, 'Yaar, sorry I wont be able to come to your marriage. I had to attend training class which is being held @ Delhi. Its 10 day program & has to leave tommorrow'.
Pallavi exclaimed 'What? Its your Best friend's marriage n ur not attending? You are joking right?'
Angad, 'No yaar!I really had to go'
Pallavi, 'How can you do this? You where there with me all the time and now when the most important thing of my life is going to happen, you are not there.'
Pallavi started to cry. 'You know my marriage date very early, right? You could have avoided this trainig..'.
Angad,'Sorry yaar. I can't. Its really important one. After atrending this, i'l get a promotion'.
Pallavi still crying, 'So ur promotion is important for you than my marriage? Hmm.. Tell me what wrong did I do? Why are you not attending my marriage?'..
Angad, 'Sorry..'..
Pallavi.. ' Why angad, why?'
Angad was looking blankly at Pallavi.. Pallavi, 'tell me?' still crying..
Angad, '....Coz..mmm.. Coz... I Love You Damn it.. I love you & I can't see you gettin married to someone else..'
Pallavi was shocked. She stopped crying. There was a disbelief in her face. Pallavi just stared at Angad.. Angad explained what all happened with him after Pallavi's engagement. After that Angad said 'I didn't wanted you to know this.'
Pallavi, 'Its ok.. Its not Love Angad.. Its just, you feel that you are going to lose me.We are best friends, right? Cool down Angad, think about it' It will change once you get engaged with a cute girl'
Angad, 'Hmm I too think so, this will pass by. You don't worry. I'l be there for your marriage..'
Pallavi, 'Don't come..! You need some time to relax'.
And soon Angad left. And after 5 days Pallavi got married with Srijith. Angad was not there.
Oneday after marriage, seeing the pearl necklace,Sreejith asked,'Who gave you this?' Pallavi, 'Angad!'
Srijith, 'I heard a lot about Angad. He is ur best friend, ryt? Haven't seen him yet. You didnt introduce me to him @ our marriage. Why?'.
Pallavi, 'He was not there. He didn't come'.
Srijith, 'Why?'.
Pallavi told him all that had happened. After hearing everything, Srijith said, 'it was real Love. Angad was late in recognising it & late in conveying it to you. And you never recognized it. I want to meet him. When are you going to introduce him to me?'.
Pallavi, 'He haven't contacted me after our marriage.'.
Srijith, 'its ok. Once he gets over this, he wil contact you'.
Days went on. Srijith was a workholic person. He didnt spend much time with pallavi. Pallavi was left alone most of the time. She started to miss Angad. Now she realized, wat Angad was to her. She felt like she had lost an important part. She felt, she was lame without Angad. She started to think that, she was in love with Angad..She started to compare Srijith with Angad. For everything Srijith did she compared with Angad. What Angad will do, if he was in the place of Srijith. She got confused on, whom does she love.She wanted Angad more than ever, now. But thwre was no news of Angad.
She contacted Angad's family.From them she got to knew that Angad is now settled in Delhi and will be coming home next month. She got his mobile number and tried to call him. But there was no answer. She waited in the hope that, Angad will contact her some day.
One day evening Srijith's friend called Pallavi telling Srijith met with an accident and is hospitalized. She was shocked. She started crying. She rushed to hospital. Saw Srijith sitting near ICU. His whole shirt was soaked in blood. there was a bandage in his head. Pallavi ran to Srijith. Asked 'What happend? '.
Srijith, 'Nothing to worry. Our car, which my friend was driving, met with an accident. This is not that serious. Car hit a bike, and the rider is in critical condition. He is there in ICU'.
'Now listen carefully. Why my friend asked to you to come here is for this. We wanted to inform the person's family about the accident. So we took his mobile to get number of his friend. We where surprised to see your photo as its wall paper. I have a doubt. Can u check who it is?'
Hearing this, Pallavi became numb. Srijith led her to ICU and showed the patient, through the window. There lies Angad, breathing haevily, fully soaked in blood. Pallavi fainted there itself.
After some time Pallavi got consious. She found herself in a bed, with Srijith sitting by. Srijith helped her to sit-up. Pallavi asked Srijith,' Angad?'.
Srijith, 'He is no more!'
P.S: I was feeling very bored. Felt like killing someone. So wrote this story and killed the hero.. :P
Hungry Kya??
When I was doing my M.Sc there was a girl. Lets call her Miss. S.( Now she is Mrs. Anywy i'l call her Miss for now.) She was doing MCA. My UG mates Prasanth n Anju wer in her class n dats how I know. She was sweet, cute, about 5'5, n around 60kg. She was kinda of a person who makes every body laugh. Not coz of she was that witty, but due to her deeds n comments which she makes on good intend, but happens to be on wrong time or on wrong place. She is not ashamed of this anyway. Moreover she used to tell others, about her stories with pride. The story, i'm going to tell u is one which she told me when I told her that i'm in search of a matter to post in my blog. So lets start.
Miss. S was in 3rd Sem. Their juniors had just joined the college. It was a free hour. She felt hungry n so told her friends n they decided to go to canteen. When they reached canteen, their juniors wer there. Canteen was crowded still they managed to find a free table. They bought Egg-puffs. Miss.S was hungry n she had her very fast. She was still feeling hungry. She looked on her friends plates. One of her friend's was still in d plate. She was busy chating with the other. Let me explain in Miss.S 's own words what happened next (translated from malayalam)
"I found Ar's puffs is still in her plate. So I decided to take it without her knowledge. So I leaned a little to my right stretching my right hand to reach the chair. The chair couldn't take my weight. Its leg got twisted n broke. I fell with a big bang. I looked around to check who all had seen. I found everybody was staring at me and every one was laughing. I looked at my friends. They where laughing like they had just seen the worlds most hilarious comdedy. They helped me to get up, trying to control their laughter. When I got seated, one of my junior came to me n said 'We need a treat for this'. Hearing this, my friends who wer trying to control their laughter burst again.. "

Great Escape
[Orginally posted on http://thalatherichavar.blogspot.com/]
As I said earlier, another incident. This also happened when we where in 5th Sem. Now let me tell u about our timings. I had narrated it in one of my earlier posts. So the classes for other courses starts @ 9.30 and ours starts at 10.
Once our staffs, it was another section- Different from the regular college, that We making a lot of noise and disturbing their classes. So we wer scolded by our section administrator and was asked not to be @ verandha once the other classes are commenced. We wer sure which all teachers had made complaints against us. We decided, we are not going to forgive them for this.
One day me n Boney wer standing in front of our class, a ma'm, who was in our hit-list, [but in the bottom of our table] came up. And went to the class next to us. This teacher was married, may be of age 25. Really gorgeous and well dressed. Next day also she came at the same time. So me and boney decided to watch her every day. And this went on every day. After 2-3 days she allso noticed us. Routine was, we will stand in front of the stairs when she was climbing up. And when she marches to her class we switch our position to balcony for a better view. Before she enters her class, she looks at us. This went on for some time. After 3 months, because of some reasons, she discontinued her Job. She would have considered as "Pakka Vaynokikal"..
Now the story doesn't ends here..I finished my PG and joined Saandeepani college as a lecturer. It was almost after3 & half year of this incident. Sree rekha ma'm was the administrator of the institute and thats how I got a job there.
One day I was returnig from my class. I saw a lady sitting in Sreerekha ma'ms cabin. I had seen her some where. But can't remember where. I went to staff room trying to remember where I had seen her.All of a sudden I remembered, it was the same teacher. What if she sees me? What if she tells Sree rekha ma'm about all these? [Sreerekha ma'm, if u r reading this, Sorry!!] If she had came here to join as a staff, thats it everything is finished for me. My image, my reputation. When doing UG the environment was different. But now? If she sees me, she will tell Sree rekha ma'm, 'does this guy teaches here, then I won't ever join shuch an institute..'
All thes thoughts came to my mind as a flashed. I hopped to library a stayed.It was the best place to hide. I was really panicking.. After about half an hour, she went. Luckily she never saw me. But what if she had joined here? I ran to Meenakshi ma'm and enquired. I was damn satisfied to know that her friend was Sreerekha ma'm's friend. She came with her friend who was visiting Sree rekha ma'm.. Phewww.. Great Escape!!!
"THALATHERICHAVAR!!!"
[Orginally posted on http://thalatherichavar.blogspot.com/]
Let me tak u people back to my UG days. These are not stories, these are some incidents. these are reasons why we are qualified to be called as "THALATHERICHAVAR!!!"
5th Semester.
Java hour.
Sini ma'm.
Ma'm was taking classes and dectating notes. As she was taking theory it was kinda boring. Even I find it boring. I was the one who likes all language classes. But this one was rally boring. we wer all talking when ma'm was writing on the board. The talks led Anoop to sing a song. It was a parady of the song 'Kodakil...' from the movie 'Kuberan'.[I still don't remember the orginal song]..Parady was like 'Koode ki...'. The rest I still remember, but can't write. Its (A).. ;) He sang, and its was really nice. He sung in a low voice, so dat all 9 of us could hear it. But alas, ma'm heard it. She turned back n was furious. She asked, 'Who sang?' . Nobody answered. By the looks, she had a small idea that it was Anoop. More over her experience made her belive that it would be Anoop only. She again asked. Still nobidy answered. So the usual warning. She wont take classes until the person who sang admits. Now, she was not as Usha ma'm. She supports us a lot. And we don't want to miss her class. Suddenly Boney stood up and said 'Ma'm, I was the person who sang!'. We all wer shocked by his sudden behaviour, but not surprised, as he was one of the freakiest guy in the class. Can't say what he will do next.
Now, ma'm new it was not Boney. (She thought so coz, boney's sound was not that sweet. It resembled some what like an old ambassador). So she asked, 'what was the song? U sing it again, so that we all could enjoy'. Now that was a blow. We all knew the song. But can't sing it before ma'm. Anyway we knew she haven't heard the lyrics, but the tune. We could end this episode if we sing the orginal one. But nobody from the boys side knew the orginal lyrics. No one could remember it. All we could remember was the parady. We all wer trying hard to remember the orginal song. Again to our surprise Boney sang, but the song wa little different, only a little ;D
" Munkopakariiii.. Mugham marakkumninde manasoru mulla poonkavo?"
All of the class burst into laughter. Girls wer laughing like anything. Ma'm was now in a real dilemma.. She really enjoyed that joke, but was not ready to forgive. We could see from her face that she was trying really hard to not to laugh. She said,' this was not the song. I knew that. And you where not the one who sang'
Boney, 'No ma'm it was really me. The song was no that. It was: 'Ellarum chollane, ellarum chollane kallane nenjilenne...''[ i'm not sure, whether it was the song. But the song was something like that]. Anyway ma'm was not ready to agree. All these time, others in the class, especialky girls wer laughing.They hadn't stopped. So much was happening.
Now Jinu stood up and said it was me ma'm. It could have stopped there. As our ma'm would be happy to fire Jinu. It was set in her mind as default, every wrong things happening in the class would be started by Jinu or Anoop or both. And may be Jinu also knew that. That why he stood up. But for our surprise Sachin stood up an said, 'It was me ma'm'. Now ma'm got really angry. She was fuming. She started to use 'njanga-ninga' language. [She using this language was an indication of her temper. She can't stop that slang from her talks when she was angry]. Boney said, ' no ma'm it was not them, it was me'. Jinu opposed it, so did Sachin. Now the real culprit Anoop stood up. She was little satisfied. But now she wants him to sing the song. All these time Boney, Jinu & Sachin where desperately saying that it was them who sang. Now each one started to sing a song.. Many songs came, like, "Rakshasi rakshasi.." and "Lajavathiye.."..
Finally ma'm gave up. She scolded us a little more and as the hour was over, she left the class. No actions wer taken on us. But some times she used to tell us, 'Ennalum ningal enne Munkopakari ennum, Rakshasi ennum okke vilichille?' [Emotional blackmail]

Super Sachin
[Orginally posted on http://thalatherichavar.blogspot.com/]
I think this happened in 4th Sem of our UG. Usha ma'm used to take some subjects [I dnt kno wat.hw can I.?If u hav asked me at dat tim also, I wud hav blinked back at u] This incident happens some days after the great howling by sachin. There is no relation between both d stories, but let me start from howling story.This also happened in Usha ma'm's class..
1st story:That day usha ma'm brought a projector n she declared, she is going to take class using it. She had prepared notes in OHP sheets.Some with diagrams n all. we were not familiar with projectors.
Anyway ma'm stareted to adjust the projector. She was behaving like all this were so simple. we where looking at her as if something big is going to happen. It took almost 20 minutes for her to make projector working and adjust the screen. She was ready and as soon as she turned to the projectin of Ohp sheet, the power went off.. As if it was a reflex action, Sachin howled![maybe he thought he was in a theater]. It came to an end as ma'm turned towards us. Except the boys nobody knew it was sachin. Ma'm became furious n she started to shout at us.After the shouting she asked who howled. Nobody answered. Then she declared, until somebody says who howled there won't be any class..Anyway we felt happy so that we don't have to suffer her anymore. But the thought that the complaint will go to higher authorities made us little disturbed. All of a sudden Jinu stood up n said he did it.All these time, sachin was shrinking in his seat, as if he could easily eascape to under the table.
Ma'm called Jinu out and shouted at him for sometime and then started to take class as usual, this time using the black-board.After the class when she was about to leave, Sachin went running to her and said, it was him who howled and not Jinu..What happend after that, I don't remember. Should ask sachin itself for more details..
2nd Story: Again Usha madam's class. Ok let me tell about Anoop's behaviour at her class. Ma'm thinks he is the worst student of the class. She once declared that she won't bother what Anoop is doing in her class. She says it was due to his bad behaviour and timid response of him in her class. But he thinks its due to an incident. There was a Ganamela near teachers home, and Anoop was ther. He didn't knew she was there.Anyway he danced with his friends.She saw that and she thought he was a local and if she scold him, he may do something to her.[Maybe something like throwing stones at her ;)]
Ok back to our story.Anoop was sitting in the front row. So main hobby of him was sleeping. Lucky guy.He sleeps the whole hour, or he pretends to be asleep. He don't has to take notes or listen to her boring lectures. One day our hero, Sachin, thought, if Anoop can do, why can't he. Ma'm was writing something in the board, Sachin removed the books from the desk an lied down on it. After some time ma'm stopped writing and turned towards us & saw Sachin lying.. "SACHINNN!!!"..she yelled.. Sachin almost jumped out of his seat..Every one in the class was looking at Sachin now. Even Anoop got up and was looking at Sachin. Usha ma'm as usual started to shout at sachin..Sachin was so shocked and astonished.. He was looking at the teacher and then at Anoop, back at teacher and then back at Anoop..There was a look of surprise and shock..A look like he was denied justice..We all couldn't control our laughter, and started laughing..I still remember that shocked look at Sachin's face..Won't forget that ever in my life..[me and anoop laughed a lot last week, remembering the incidence..It was one of the funniest incident that happened when we were doing our graduation.. That reminds us what a wonderful time we had.. That make our eyes wet!!! The Golden days!!!!]

Kalam awarded Hoover Medal for services to humanity
APJ is the first Asian to win this medal. Hoover Medal is awarded to Engineers for their excellenc in their field.Check this link for details...
This medal can be reffered as one of the main awrds given to Engineers. How many of you have read about this in news papers? I think very few.. I haven't seen an reports regarding this in any news papers except The Hindu.. not in any malayalam papers.. When Slum dog received Oscar, it occupied Half of the front page. They are worried, Why Shilpa Shetty couldn't cast a vote. Whats the next blog of Amithabh. Which bollywood pair will break next.. Whose cared about APJ or what he receives? B********...
He is the man who showed as, there is a Position called President in India. He is the First Perosn. What all he can do. A man who has done a lot of things to Humanity. who gave away his life to equip India with Missile power, who showed President is not a rubber stamp. Then man who encourages the Indian Youth to dream, Dream Big..And what this politicians and journalists give him.. kerala CM, V.S Achuthananthan once said, when APJ said his opinion about Nuclear policy, 'There are many scientist in Thumba who had flown more rockets than APJ'. YA, VS is rigth. there will be many scientst. But not any of them has been the President of India. They Joined ISRO in search of Fame and money. But APJ was there when ISRO was created.. He was there when 1st rocket flew from thumba. He is one of the pioneer in space technology of India. And see how we repay him..
I wish him my Hearty Congratulations!!!

'The Freedom to Blame'.
Yesterday I went to a hotel for having dinner. it was a local hotel, at karukapally,near kaloor.I ordered for the so called 'malayale's desiya bakshanam' porotta n beef.I usually don't have porottas, but yesterday I just had a tendency to hav it. Anyway this is not about my food.I was seated in the farthest corner of d hotel,which was near the kitchen.waiter brought me my food. Just then a guy came & sat opposite me with a plate.I looked up & recognized it as another waiter of that hotel.a guy of 18.he was having his dinner.he had brought himself 2 parattas n beef gravy. Before I cud finish my 1st paratta he finished his food.While having the food he was looking at the counter frequently.He had a fear in his face as if he was doing some theft. He finished n went with his plate & came back with another plate of rice.He had that & went back to kitchen soon.this time also he frequently was looking at the counter when having food.I realized that he was having his food stealthly, without his boss's knowledge.May be too he was hungry!
Just imagine a kid has to have his food stealthly n tensed & I was thinking I was having a lot of preassure at my office. I'm having pressure still I can have food when I like & what I like.I don't have to do it hidden from some one. I was thinking that there would be lot of teenagers working like this in Kochi.may be in much worse conditions. Who can't have enough food a day. Can't get a pay so dat they can have a full stomach food. Last day one of my colleague was little upset because her wound-be is not so enthusiastic about Café coffee day & mac donald's.She wishes to go there frequently. At coffee day one may pay around Rs.60 just for a drink. The waiter I talked about, earlier will have to work for a week or so to save Rs.60 from his daily wages.This amount could fetch some one a full day's food. And we such irresponsible so called IT guys spend money without any care on un wanted things.Ok, we can say a lot of things like, we earn, so we spend. Or like, I studied well and so I got a decent job..etc etc.. But just think. Can you justify yourself.I'm not being a saint. I have done things like this.I have spend money on really really unwanted things a lot. Its time to think. Ok, leave that. Recently we had our general elections on April 16th.How many of you have cast your votes? Lot of my friends hasn't. But those who we call as 'poor' or 'bellow poverty line', majority of them would have cast their votes.Just in the dream of a better tomorrow for them or atleast for their kids, a little higher standard of living, 3 times food a day,better education for their kids. They know these political parties, they are just creating dramas. But they still think some one, some day will do something for them.And so they cast their votes.
And what do we do.We sit at home and watch serials and movies.When some bloodys sceens are shown, we say "o my God!" and then change the channel. We blame the politicians for their irresponsiblities. We blame them for bad roads. We blame them when there is power cut, when water supply is intrupted.We just blame politicians and government staffs.And what do we do?Nothing other than blaming.We dumb waste of our home on the near by open space.We spit on public places.We throw wastes on road.Then we starts blaming government for all those garbages being not removed. We offer bribes to government staffs to get our things done easily and we say 'The whole system is corrupted'. We waste water and electricity and the blame government when there is a power cut or water supply is intruppted.
And when its time to select a government, we just back of as if its others duties. And the reason most say for not voting, 'Every body is corrupted. If we vote also whom should we Vote for?' What an excuse.If u have such problem why don't you get to politics? How can you do that, right? Coz its not your duty.Its others. You have got ypur own family to take care off. We always cry for our rights.But we usually forgets that to availing these rights we have to do our duties to this country.But who cares? Every body likes to be selfish. But we all are forgetting something.If Gandhiji was selfish, we would still under British rule.Subash chandra bose, Baghath sing, Chandra shekar Azad, all gave their life for this country. Its their lifes they paid with to get this countries freedom. 'The freedom to blame'.
I'm Back..

ഓര്‍മകള്‍
കലാലയ മുത്തശന്ടെ മടിയിലെന്നപോലെ
കലാലയത്തിന്‍ മുന്നില്ലുള്ള ആല്മാരത്തന്ന്നലില്‍ ,
ഏകയായിരുന്ന എന്നെ ,
എന്‍റെ സുഹൃത്ത് അവന്ടെ ക്യാമറയില്‍ പകര്‍ത്തിയപ്പോള്‍ ,
ഞാന്‍ അറിഞ്ഞില്ല പില്കാലങ്ങളില്‍ എന്നില്‍ ,
ആ കലാലയ മുത്തസന്ടെ ഓര്‍മകള്‍ ഉണര്‍ത്തുന്ന ,
ഒരു ചിത്രമാവും അതെന്.........................
this 'Kavitha', [thats wat I call it..] is a birthday gift for my cute friend ........ ;)
Bus Trip
So this story happened to me when I was doing my UG. I was doing my UG in Chinmaya college, Palakkad. We used to leave to palakkad from vadakkencherry at around 8am every morning. Me n Shajeeb. There were 3 KK Menon bus at around 8am. We would be in one of it. As we started to be regular passengers of KK Menon, we had a group of around 4-5 people. All of us were students. We had made ood relation with the conductors and checkers of KK Menon buses.
One of our main hobby was "Vayanottam". Our trip was of around 1hr and it was d only time pass. There were many girls in different bus stops who used to react to us. React means, they used to stare at us, smile at us. They used to search for us, if we were not in the bus. May be we were thei time pass. Ok, now to my story. One of the main bus stops between Palakkad and vadakkencherry, was Alathur.
One day our bus was in Alathur bus stand. I noticed a girl. Now that was not the part of our usual vayanottam. I recognized her as agirl who studied with me in Cherupushpam. Not my class mate, but my batch mate. Any way the bus left soon. Next day also I saw her at the same bus stop. She was wearing the uniform of IHRD College. I don't know her name. Her standing pose had some peculiaritie.She was standing like, going to hit some one. Legs little spread, Standing erect. Holding the college bag with one hand over her shoulder and other hand droped. She was tall, well built. As one of my friend commented, Vanitha Police. I looked at her, hoping that she may recognize me. But when she saw me, she not even recognized me, but turned her was away with anger. She may have thought we were "Pakka Vaynokkikal". our may be we felt like that. Now that was a real insult for us. How dare she could do this to us. On that day, we decided not to leave her.
Next day onwards, when we reach Alathur, my main duty was to stare at her. Initially her respone was the same as that of first day. But I didn't stop. I continued. As days passeed, she now tried to hide from us. If we also spoted her, she won't look at us. It continued for some day. Now she wont hide. When she spots us, she used to stare back at me, with an angry face. And one day, when she stared at me, I smiled at her. She didnt react. Next day also I smiled. But this time, she smiled back at me. Something like a grin. Oru Kaliyakal style. I to smiled at her in the same way. With that, she broke into real laughter. Following two days, when we reach Alathur, she will be there and she will smile at me. And I too returned.
Next day, I was coming from Tharur. I have to come to Alathur and board Palakkad bus from there. SO I thought, if I get oppurtunity, i'l talk to her. Now I had some friends from Tharur. I came with them to Alathur. We were in Alathur bus stop. She was standing there. I showed her to one of my friend and asked how is she. He looked at her. Said, "that girl? She is the daughter of Alathur C.I.".
Now that was real shock to me. I got really afraid. I didn't dare to look at her or go and talk to her. I simply escaped from there. Next day, when I was in Vadakkencherry Bus stop, I toldmy friends about the new information. Every one of us got scared. What if she had complained about us to her Dad? Now we knew why she was standing like a Vanitha Police.
After that day I havn't travelled on KK Menon bus for a long time. If I had to travell, I would hide myself when I reach Alathur. Anyway I have never seen her again after that incident. Still I dont know her name.

നിനകുവേണ്ടി..............
അമ്പിളി അമ്മാവന്റെ നിലാവെടുത്ത്,
അതില്‍ നക്ഷത്രങ്ങളും ചുവന്ന റോസാ പൂകളും വിതറി,
അതുമുഴുവന്‍ നീലാകാശത്തില്‍ ചുറ്റി എടുത്ത്,
ഇടിമിന്നലില്‍ നിന്നും ഒരു വെള്ളി നൂലെടുത്ത്,
കെട്ടി നിനക്ക് നല്‍കുമായിരുന്നു ഞാന്‍,
എനിക്ക് കഴിയുമെങ്ങില്‍................
അതില്‍ നക്ഷത്രങ്ങളും ചുവന്ന റോസാ പൂകളും വിതറി,

കെട്ടി നിനക്ക് നല്‍കുമായിരുന്നു ഞാന്‍,
എനിക്ക് കഴിയുമെങ്ങില്‍................

What Was My Mistake?
I was in class 7.(7.A). Our class teacher was Leena. She was taking English for us. My favourite subject. And she was my Favourite teacher (She Was!). Once she had come to my home, while going to another teacher's house.
Usually she takes a lesson, then she gives us questions and answers and asks us to study and come on the next day or so. Next day, she will ask the questions and we have to answer those. If we don’t answer the questions we have to receive beatings in hand with cane. Usually the number of beatings vary.
That day also she had asked us to study a lesson’s questions and answers. I had studied them very well. I was confident. I came to the class. I was sitting with Nithil, Shajeeb and Sakeer Hussain. I came to class in the morning. We all recited the questions. First period was English. All where busy studying the questions. We were in the 2nd column, 1st bench. We came back to class after assembly. We again started to recite the queations. She came and the class started.
She said ‘I am going to ask questions and nobody should open the book once I start asking the questions. Is that clear?’
And she started asking the questions. Mean while I had kept my pencil inside the book. She had started from the 1st column. Probably she will be coming to our bench at last. Some of my friends were tensed. But as I had studied well, I didn’t have any worries. She had finished asking questions to the students in the 1st column and has started the 2nd column from the last bench.4-5 students were standing, as they couldn’t answer the questions. I was simply sitting and waiting for my turn. I noticed my pencil inside my note and took it out. Suddenly Leena Teacher came to me and asked a question. It was not my turn. I was little surprised. Anyway I answered the question. After that she went back to the last student to whom she was asking questions. She didn’t ask me to sit. I thought she had forgot about it. As it is not polite to sit, without her permission, I stood there itself. My bench mates were also surprised by the sudden behavior of our teacher.
She came to our bench. It was my turn again. She asked me another question again. I answered that too, very fluently. Still she didn’t ask me to sit. This time I realized, there is some problem. And that session of questioning finished. Now there were about 9 students, including me, standing. She started to ask questions again to those who were standing. Those who can answer this time can sit and escape from punishment. She came to me. She asked another question. This time also I answered. For my surprise (probably to the surprise of all of us) she asked me another question. I answered that too. Still she didn’t tell me to sit. She went to the table and took the cane. Now 5 of us were standing.
She started to give punishment to others who were standing. One hit with the cane on his\her palm. And finally she came to me. She asked me to show my palm. Now I was really surprised and very sad. Why should I get the punishment? I have answered all her questions? Now that hurt a lot. This was the first time I’m getting punishment in her class. I have never given her a chance to punish me. She hit me, not once but thrice. When hitting me, she said ‘Anyone can answer to my question by looking into note. I saw you peeping into the notebook’.
So that was my mistake. She was not my favorite teacher anymore. And I have never answered any questions she asked in her class, even though I knew the answers.
