കോഴിക്കോട് സർവകലാശാലയിലെ പ്രൊഫസർ ആയിരുന്ന കെ കെ കരുണാകരൻ മാഷുടെ ഉത്സാഹത്തിൽ, സ്കന്ദദാസ&amp;nbsp; സമാജത്തിന്റെ, അമ്പലത്തിനടുത്തുള്ള,&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;മുണ്ടൂമ്മൽ സ്കൂൾ എന്ന് വിളിപ്പേരുള്ള സംസ്കൃതം സ്കൂളിൽ&amp;nbsp; ഒരു പുതിയ സ്ഥാപനം ആരംഭിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു. സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യസമരകാലത്ത് ക്വിറ്റിന്ത്യ സമരത്തിൽ സ്കൂളിലെ അധ്യാപകർ&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;പങ്കെടുത്തു എന്ന കാരണത്താൽ ബ്രിട്ടീഷ് സർക്കാരിൻ്റെ അംഗീകാരം നഷ്ടപ്പെട്ട ഒരു സംസ്കൃത വിദ്യാലയം ആയിരുന്നു മുണ്ടുമ്മൽ സ്കൂൾ. പിന്നീട്&amp;nbsp; കാലത്തിൻ്റെ കൈത്തെറ്റ് പോലെ,&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;വീടുകളിൽ കക്കൂസ് ഇല്ലായിരുന്ന അക്കാലത്ത്, പയ്യന്നൂർ പഞ്ചായത്തിന്റെ 4 കക്കൂസ് മുറികൾ സ്കൂൾ വളപ്പിൽ സ്ഥാപിക്കപ്പെട്ടു. ഗ്രാമവാസികൾ പ്രഭാത കർമ്മങ്ങൾ നിർവഹിക്കുവാൻ മഹത്തായ ആ സ്ഥാപനത്തിലെ കിണർ ഉപയോഗിച്ചു. രാവും പകലും കിണറിലെ കപ്പിക്ക് വിശ്രമനുണ്ടായില്ല . ഗ്രാമോദയ ഖാദി സംഘത്തിൻറെ ഒരു കാർപെൻഡറി യൂണിറ്റ് ദീർഘകാലം അവിടെ പ്രവർത്തിച്ചു പോന്നു.&amp;nbsp; സ്കന്ദ റെസിഡൻസി എന്ന മനോഹര സ്ഥാപനം ആണ് ഇപ്പോളവിടെ.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;ശൂന്യതയിൽ നിന്ന് ഒരു കോളേജ് ഉണ്ടാക്കിയെടുക്കുക എന്നത് അന്നത്തെ കാലത്ത് ദുഷ്കരമായിരുന്നു.&amp;nbsp; കെട്ടിടത്തിന്റെ പടിഞ്ഞാറ് ഭാഗത്തുള്ള&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;തുറ എന്ന് പേരുള്ള വിശാലമായ പാടശേഖരത്തിൽ നിന്നും സമൃദ്ധമായി അടിച്ചുവരുന്ന കുളിർകാറ്റ് അല്ലാതെ സ്കൂളിനകത്ത് ഒന്നും തന്നെ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല. കോളേജ് തുടങ്ങണമെങ്കിൽ ബെഞ്ചും ഡസ്കും വേണം, ബ്ലാക്ക് ബോർഡുകൾ വേണം, മറ്റ് സംവിധാനങ്ങൾ ഒരുക്കണം.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;പത്തുപേർ&amp;nbsp; 100 രൂപ വീതം ഷെയർ എടുത്തുണ്ടാക്കിയ ആയിരം രൂപയാണ് മൊത്തം മൂലധനം.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;അത്യാവശ്യത്തിനുള്ള ബാക്കി പണം ബ്ലേഡ് പലിശക്ക് സ്വരൂപിക്കേണ്ടി വന്നു. ആദ്യകാലത്ത് ബഹുവിധ ബാലാരിഷ്ടതകളാണ് സ്ഥാപനത്തിന് വന്നുചേർന്നത്. എങ്കിലും കഷ്ടതകളിൽ തളരാതെ സ്ഥാപനത്തെ നേർ ദിശയിൽ നയിക്കാൻ ശമ്പളം ഒന്നും കൈപ്പറ്റാതെ ചെറുപ്പക്കാരായ അധ്യാപകർ കിണഞ്ഞു ശ്രമിച്ചു. ഇന്ന് ബോളിവുഡിൽ തിളങ്ങിനിൽക്കുന്ന കെ യു മോഹനൻ, പയ്യന്നൂർ കോളേജിൽ നിന്നും വിരമിച്ച എം രാജീവൻ, റിട്ടയേർഡ് ബിഡിഒ യു.കെ സുരേന്ദ്രൻ, സർവീസ് ബാങ്കിൽ നിന്നും വിരമിച്ച കെ.യു ശശി, പറ്റാത്തടത്തിൽ&amp;nbsp; മുരളി,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;ഹെഡ്മിസ്ട്രസ് ആയി വിരമിച്ച ശശികല, സർക്കാർ സർവീസിൽ നിന്നും വിരമിച്ച ചന്ദ്രിക,പിന്നെ ഞാൻ എന്നിവരായിരുന്നു ശമ്പളമില്ലാ അധ്യാപകർ. കൂടാതെ&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;പ്രസിദ്ധ നിരൂപകനായ ഇ പി രാജഗോപാലൻ, ഹൈദരാബാദിലുള്ള കവിയും വിവർത്തകനുമായ സി എം രാജൻ, ഇപ്പോഴത്തെ പൂരക്കളി അക്കാദമി ചെയർമാൻ സി എച്ച് സുരേന്ദ്രൻ നമ്പ്യാർ,അനുജൻ സി എച് മോഹനൻ, കുറുന്തിൽ രാജൻ ഇഡ്അഅവavടങ്ങിയവരും അധ്യാപകരായെത്തി.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;മൈസൂരിലെ ഒരു കോളേജിൽ നിന്നും വിരമിച്ച യു ആർ പൊതുവാൾ ആയിരുന്നു&amp;nbsp; ആദ്യത്തെ പ്രിൻസിപ്പൽ.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;പിന്നീട് പല കാലങ്ങളിലായി വിദ്വാൻ എ കെ കൃഷ്ണൻ മാസ്റ്റർ, കെ. വി. ചിണ്ടൻ മാസ്റ്റർ, വി. പി. കുഞ്ഞിരാമൻ മാസ്റ്റർ എന്നിവരൊക്കെ&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;പ്രിൻസിപ്പൽമാരായി.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;പുതിയ സ്ഥാപനത്തെ റെയിലിൽ കയറ്റണമെങ്കിൽ സ്ഥാപനം ആരംഭിച്ച വിവരം ജനം അറിയണം.&amp;nbsp; അതിനായി ബോർഡുകൾ, പോസ്റ്ററുകൾ ഒക്കെ വേണം അതൊന്നും കാശുകൊടുത്ത് ചെയ്യാൻ നിർവാഹമില്ല. അതുകൊണ്ട് രാത്രികാലങ്ങളിൽ ഞങ്ങൾ തന്നെ ഓട്ടോ പിടിച്ചു പയ്യന്നൂരിന്റെ സമീപപ്രദേശങ്ങളിലൊക്കെ ബോർഡും,പശയും പോസ്റ്ററുമായി ഇറങ്ങി.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;കഴുത്തറുപ്പൻ മത്സരം കോളേജുകൾ തമ്മിൽ നിലനിന്ന സമയത്തായിരുന്നു ചെറുശ്ശേരി കോളേജ് ആരംഭിച്ചത്. അതുകൊണ്ടുതന്നെ വ്യത്യസ്തമായ പരസ്യ ബോർഡുകൾ ഞങ്ങൾ തയ്യാറാക്കി. സി എം രാജന്റെ A head ahead of others ഒക്കെ പരസ്യവാചകം ആയി ഉപയോഗിച്ചത് ഓർക്കുന്നു. വേണ്ടത്ര വെളിച്ചമില്ലാത്ത മാത്തിലെ ഒരു നിരപ്പലക പാകിയ കെട്ടിടത്തിന് മുന്നിൽ പതിപ്പിച്ച പോസ്റ്ററുകൾ വലിയ പൊല്ലാപ്പായി. ഇരുട്ടത്ത്&amp;nbsp; ഒരു ട്യൂഷൻ സെന്ററിന്റെ നിരപ്പലകയിലാണ് പോസ്റ്ററുകൾ ഒട്ടിച്ചത്.&amp;nbsp; കാലത്ത് അധ്യാപകർ വന്നപ്പോൾ കോളേജ് തുറക്കാൻ പറ്റാത്ത അവസ്ഥ വന്നു. അപമാനവും ദേഷ്യവും കൊണ്ട് വിറച്ച് കോളേജ് പ്രിൻസിപ്പൽ വൈകുന്നേരം പയ്യന്നൂർ ടൗണിൽ എത്തി, ചെറുശ്ശേരി കോളേജിന്റെ ആളുകളെ അന്വേഷിക്കുകയും കയ്യിൽ കിട്ടിയാൽ തട്ടി കളയും എന്ന് ഭീഷണിപ്പെടുത്തുകയും ചെയ്തു.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;പണിപ്പെട്ടാണ് ആളിനെ സമാധാനിപ്പിച്ചു വിട്ടത്.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;പതുക്കെ കുട്ടികൾ വന്നു തുടങ്ങി.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ഒരു തേർഡ് ഗ്രൂപ്പ്, ഒരു ഫോർത്ത് ഗ്രൂപ്പ് എന്നിങ്ങനെ രണ്ടു റഗുലർ ബാച്ചുകൾ, പ്രീഡിഗ്രി ട്യൂഷൻ രണ്ട് ബാച്ചുകൾ, എസ്എസ്എൽസി ട്യൂഷൻ, പ്രീ ഡിഗ്രി നൈറ്റ് ബാച്ച് ഇത്രയും ക്ലാസുകൾ ആണ് ആദ്യം ആരംഭിച്ചത്. കൂടാതെ അന്ന് പലരും കാശുവാരിയിരുന്ന, തേർഡ് പ്രീഡിഗ്രി എന്ന് വിളിപ്പേരുള്ള പ്രീ ഡിഗ്രി തോറ്റ വിദ്യാർത്ഥികളെ സെപ്റ്റംബർ പരീക്ഷയ്ക്ക് സജ്ജരാക്കുന്ന മൂന്ന് മാസത്തെ കോഴ്സും.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;സ്ഥാപനം പതുക്കെ വലുതായി വന്നു . വളർന്നു പന്തലിച്ചു. മാഷൻമാർ തരക്കേടില്ല എന്ന് ജനങ്ങളുടെ പെരുമാറ്റം സാക്ഷ്യപ്പെടുത്തി.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;കോളേജിൽ സാഹിത്യ വിഷയങ്ങളിൽ ഉള്ള സെമിനാറുകൾ ഒക്കെ സംഘടിപ്പിച്ചു. ആദ്യത്തെ പരിപാടി&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;കാഫ്ക്കാ സിമ്പോസിയം ആയിരുന്നു. ടിപി സുകുമാരൻ മാഷ് ഉൾപ്പെടെ പ്രഗത്ഭരോക്കെ&amp;nbsp; പരിപാടിയിൽ പങ്കെടുത്തു.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;പ്രചരണത്തിനും പിരിവിനുമായി പയ്യന്നൂർ കോളേജിൽ പോയപ്പോൾ നടന്ന ഒരു അനുഭവം മനസ്സിൽ മായാതെ കിടപ്പുണ്ട്.&amp;nbsp; പരിപാടിയുടെ നോട്ടീസ് ഓഫീസിൽ വിതരണം ചെയ്തപ്പോൾ സംഭാവനയിൽ നിന്നും ഒഴിവാക്കാനോ അതോ നിഷ്കളങ്കമായോ ഒരാൾ കാഫ്കയുടെ ഫുൾ ഫോം പറയാൻ നിർബന്ധിച്ചു. എം ആർ സി നോട്ടീസ് കൈപ്പറ്റി ഒരക്ഷരം ഉരിയാടാതെ തിരിഞ്ഞു നടന്നു. അതൊരു പ്രതിഷേധം ആയിരുന്നു. നാട്ടിലുള്ള ബഷീറിനെയും, തകഴിയെയും വിട്ട് കാഫ്ക്കയെ കയറി പിടിച്ചതിന്.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;അത് മനസ്സിലാക്കാനുള്ള വിവേകം അന്നുണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;എങ്കിലും അടുത്ത സെമിനാർ&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;മലയാളത്തിലെ നൂതന വിമർശന ശാഖയെ കുറിചായിരുന്നു.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;ഒരുപാട് അധ്യാപകർ ചെറുശ്ശേരി കോളേജിനെ ഒരു ചവിട്ടുപടിയാക്കി ഉയരങ്ങളിലേക്ക് കുതിച്ചു. കോളേജിനെ ഒരു എയ്ഡഡ് സ്ഥാപനമായി മാറ്റാനുള്ള ശ്രമങ്ങളും ഒരുഭാഗത്ത് നടന്നു. കോഴിക്കോട് സർവ്വകലാശാലയിലെ ഒരു ടീം വന്ന് സൗകര്യങ്ങൾ പരിശോധിച്ചു. സർക്കാരിലേക്ക് ശുപാർശയും ചെയ്തു . അതിലപ്പുറം നീക്കാനുള്ള രാഷ്ട്രീയ പിൻബലം അക്കാലത്ത് കോളേജിന് ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;അന്നത് സംഭവിച്ചിരുന്നെങ്കിൽ കേരളത്തിലെ തന്നെ ഒരു മികച്ച സ്ഥാപനമായി ചെറുശ്ശേരി കോളേജ് വളർന്നേനെ.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;കോളേജ് ദിനങ്ങളിലെ സായാഹ്നങ്ങൾ അവിസ്മരണീയമായിരുന്നു.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;കോളേജിന്റെ വടക്കു ഭാഗത്തെ ഒഴിഞ്ഞ സ്ഥലത്ത് ഒരു ബാഡ്മിൻ കോർട്ട് ഉണ്ടാക്കിയെടുക്കുകയും വൈകുന്നേരങ്ങളിൽ സുഹൃത്തുക്കൾ സൗഹൃദ മത്സരങ്ങൾ സംഘടിപ്പിക്കുകയും ചെയ്തു. ചെറുശ്ശേരി കോളേജ് ബാഡ്മിന്റൺ ടീം കാസർഗോഡ് ജില്ലയിലും കണ്ണൂർ ജില്ലയിലും പല മത്സരങ്ങളിലും പങ്കെടുത്തത് ഓർമ്മയിൽ തങ്ങിനിൽക്കുന്നുണ്ട്. സി എച്ച് മോഹനനും,ഈയിടെ നമ്മെ വിട്ടുപിരിഞ്ഞ കെ.വി .വേണുഗോപാലും ആയിരുന്നു പ്രധാന കളിക്കാർ. അവിടുത്തെ കിണറിന്റെ ആൾമറയിൽ ഇരുന്നുനടത്തിയ സൗഹൃദ സംഭാഷണങ്ങൾ അവിസ്മരണീയം ആയിരുന്നു. കലയും രാഷ്ട്രീയവും സിനിമയും നാട്ടുകാര്യങ്ങളും ഒക്കെ ചർച്ച ചെയ്യപ്പെട്ടു. വലിയ ഒരു സംവാദ വേദി എല്ലാ ദിവസവും രൂപപ്പെട്ടു. പിന്നീട് ജീവിതത്തിൻറെ പല തുറസ്സു കളിലുംഎത്തിപ്പെട്ട പലർക്കും അതൊരു പരിശീലന കളരിയായി.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;വെക്കേഷൻ കാലങ്ങളിൽ വൈകുന്നേരം ഒഴിഞ്ഞ പാട വരമ്പിലൂടെ കണ്ടങ്കാളിയിലുള്ള സി എച്ച് സുരേന്ദ്രൻ മാഷിൻറെ വീട്ടിലേക്ക് നടത്തിയ യാത്രകൾ വിജ്ഞാന യാത്രകളായി.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;സുരേന്ദ്രൻ മാഷിന്&amp;nbsp; ആരെയും അത്ഭുതപ്പെടുത്തുന്ന വിപുലമായ ഒരു ഗ്രന്ഥശേഖരം അന്നുണ്ട്. അവിടെവച്ചാണ് പ്രധാനപ്പെട്ട ഒട്ടേറെ കൃതികൾ&amp;nbsp; പരിചയപ്പെടുന്നത്. അതുപോലെ ഷേക്സ്പിയറുടെ ട്രാജഡികൾ, ദസ്ഥയേവ്സ്കി, ടോൾസ്റ്റോയ് കസാൻസാക്കീസ് , മാർക്ക്വേസ് തുടങ്ങി മഹാരഥന്മാരുടെ കൃതികളെ പരിചയപ്പെടുന്നതും അവിടെ വെച്ചാണ്. പകരം പരിമിതമായ ഭൗതിക ജ്ഞാനം വെച്ച് അപേക്ഷകത സിദ്ധാന്തത്തെ കുറിച്ചൊക്കെ മാഷുടെ വീട്ടിൻറ പിന്നാമ്പുറത്ത് പഠനാവശ്യത്തിനായി മുള കൊണ്ട് കെട്ടിയുണ്ടാക്കിയ നിടുമ്പുരയിൽ എല്ലാവരും ഒത്തുകൂടി സംസാരിച്ചതും,കടമ്മനിട്ടയുടെയും,ചുള്ളിക്കാടിൻ്റെയും, അയ്യപ്പപ്പണിക്കരുടെയും കവിതകൾ ഉറക്കെ ചൊല്ലിയതും,വൈകി രാവേറെ ചെന്ന ശേഷം വീട്ടിലേക്ക് നിലാവിൽ വിശാലമായ വയലിലൂടെ നടന്നുവന്നതും ഒക്കെ സ്വപ്ന സദൃശ്യമായി മനസ്സിലുണ്ട്.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;പൊതുവായി എല്ലാവർക്കും ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നത്&amp;nbsp; സമൃദ്ധമായ ദാരിദ്ര്യം ആയിരുന്നു. മറ്റ് ജോലികളിലേക്ക് ചേക്കേറാൻ ഉള്ള അവസരങ്ങൾ പരമാവധി വിനിയോഗിച്ചു പോന്നു. അങ്ങനെയാണ് ഒരു ദിവസം പാലക്കാട് ചിന്മയ വിദ്യാലയത്തിൽ ഫിസിക്സ് അധ്യാപകരുടെ ഒഴിവുള്ളതായി പത്രത്തിൽ ഒരറിയിപ്പ് കണ്ടത്. ഫിസിക്സ് അധ്യാപകരായ സി എം രാജനും ഞാനും ഒരു കൈ നോക്കാൻ തുനിഞ്ഞിറങ്ങി. ഇൻ്റർവ്യൂ കെങ്കേമമായി. ജോലി ഉറപ്പായി. റെസിഡൻഷ്യൽ സ്കൂൾ ആണ്. ചിലവും കഴിച്ച് ശമ്പളം. പക്ഷേ അത് തീരെ തുച്ഛം. എല്ലാവരും&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ചിന്മയനന്ദ സ്വാമിയുടെ തത്വം അനുസരിച്ച്&amp;nbsp; ജോലി ചെയ്യണം. ഇന്റർവ്യൂ ബോർഡ് ആവശ്യപ്പെട്ടു. സംഗതി പാളി.ഏതായാലും തിരിച്ചു പോകാം. ബസ്സ് പിടിച്ച് സ്റ്റേഷനിൽ എത്തിയപ്പോഴാണ്&amp;nbsp; ഞെട്ടിക്കുന്ന ആ സത്യം ബോധ്യമായത്. രണ്ടുപേരും വിചാരിച്ചത് ഇഷ്ടം പോലെ കാശ് മറ്റെയാളിൻ്റെ കയ്യിലുണ്ട് എന്നാണ്. പക്ഷേ കീശകൾ മറിച്ചിട്ടപ്പോൾ പയ്യന്നൂരിലേക്ക് എത്താനുള്ള തീവണ്ടി കാശ് തികയില്ല. സ്റ്റേഷന്റെ നോട്ടീസ് ബോർഡിൽ പതിപ്പിച്ച&amp;nbsp; ടിക്കറ്റ് ചാർജ് നോക്കി. കഷ്ടിച്ച് തലശ്ശേരി വരെ ഉള്ള ടിക്കറ്റ് ഒരു വിധം ഒപ്പിക്കാം. അന്ന് തലശ്ശേരിയിൽ സി എം മോഹനൻ ഉണ്ട് . അവിടെ മഹാത്മാ കോളേജിൽ ക്ലാസെടുക്കുന്നു. തിരുവങ്ങാടുള്ള ഒരു ലോഡ്ജിൽ താമസം. തലശ്ശേരി ചെന്ന് മോഹനനെ കണ്ടു കാശു വാങ്ങി നാട്ടിലേക്ക് പോകാം. ഇതാണ് പ്ലാൻ. വെറും വയറ്റിൽ, ബാക്കിയായ ചില്ലറ പൈസ കൊടുത്ത് ദിനേശ് ബീഡി&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;വാങ്ങി&amp;nbsp; വണ്ടിയിൽ കയറി. പാതിരാത്രി തലശ്ശേരിയിൽ ഇറങ്ങി.&amp;nbsp; ഒരു അഞ്ചുമണി എങ്കിലും ആകട്ടെ, എന്നിട്ടാവാം മോഹനനെ ബുദ്ധിമുട്ടിക്കുന്നത്. അതുവരെ പ്ലാറ്റ്ഫോമിലെ ബെഞ്ചുകളിൽ കിടക്കാം. വിരി വെക്കാൻ തുടങ്ങിയപ്പോൾ കൊടിയും റാന്തലുമായി സ്റ്റേഷൻ മാസ്റ്റർ എത്തി. ടിക്കറ്റ്&amp;nbsp;

ചെറുപ്പക്കാര്‍ ഒരു ക്രിക്കറ്റ് മാച്ച് അനുസ്മരിപ്പിച്ചു. ഗാലറിയില്‍ നിന്ന് നോക്കുമ്പോള്‍
ഇന്ത്യയുടെയും പാക്കിസ്ഥാന്റെയും ഗേറ്റുകള്‍ കാണാം. പരിപാടി വീക്ഷിക്കാന്‍ എത്തിയ

മണിയോടെ ബി എസ് എഫിലെ വെള്ള യൂണിഫോം അണിഞ്ഞ ഒരു&amp;nbsp;
ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥന്‍ കാണികളെ അഭിവാദ്യം ചെയ്യാനെത്തി. തുടര്‍ന്നു പരേഡ്
ഗ്രൂണ്ടിലൂടെ &amp;nbsp;ദേശീയ പതാകകള്‍ കൈയിലേന്തി
കൊച്ചു കുട്ടികള്‍ നടത്തുന്ന മാര്‍ച്ചാണ് .കാണികള്‍ അവരെ കൈയടിച്ചു&amp;nbsp; പ്രോത്സാഹിപ്പിച്ചു. കൂട്ടത്തില്‍ പ്രായമായ
ഒരമ്മൂമ്മ പതാകയുമേന്തി നടത്തിയ ഓട്ടത്തിന് നല്ല കൈയടി കിട്ടി. പിന്നീട് ആണ്
സ്കൂള്‍ കുട്ടികള്‍ ഗ്രൌണ്ട് കൈയേറിയത്. ജയ് ഹോ തുടങ്ങിയ റഹ്മാന്‍
താളത്തിനോപ്പിച്ച ഗ്രൂപ്പ് ഡാന്‍സ് &amp;nbsp;സംഗതി
കൈവിട്ടുപോകുമോ എന്ന സംശയം ജനിപ്പിച്ചു. നല്ല ഒരു വരി ഗാനം പോലും ആലപിക്കപ്പെട്ടില്ല.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

ഒരു ഗതികേട് ഓര്‍ത്തു ലജ്ജിച്ചുപോയി. പക്ഷെ മുഴവന്‍ ആളുകളും ഈ ആഭാസത്തെ
പ്രോത്സാഹിപ്പിച്ചു കൊണ്ടേ ഇരുന്നു. കൃത്യം അഞ്ചര മണിക്ക് ബ്യൂഗിളുകള്‍ മുഴങ്ങി.
പരേഡ് ഗ്രൗണ്ടില്‍ അലങ്കാര തലപ്പാവ് ധരിച്ച സൈനികരുടെ മാര്‍ച്ച് ആരംഭിച്ചു. ഓരോ
പട്ടാളക്കാര്‍ രണ്ടു ഭാഗത്ത്‌ നിന്നും പോയി രാജ്യ കവാടങ്ങള്‍ തുറന്നു. അന്യേന്യം ഹസ്തദാനം
നടത്തി. പിന്നെ ഓരോരുത്തരും പ്രത്യേക പദവിന്യാസത്തോടെ അതിര്‍ത്തിയിലെത്തി പോരിനു വിളിക്കും
മട്ടിലുള്ള ദ്രുത ചലനത്തോടെ നിലയുറപ്പിച്ചു. പട്ടാളക്കാരുടെ ഓരോ ചലനത്തിനും വലിയ
കൈയടി കിട്ടി. കൈയടി കുറഞ്ഞപ്പോള്‍ വെള്ള യൂനിഫോര്‍മിലുള്ള ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥന്‍ ജനങ്ങളോട്
ഉച്ചത്തില്‍ -ഇനിയും ഉച്ചത്തില്‍- എന്ന് ആഗ്യം കാട്ടി. പാക്കിസ്ഥാന്‍ ഭാഗത്തും ഇത്
ആവര്‍ത്തിച്ച്‌. ഭാരത്‌ മാതാ കി ജയ് വിളികള്‍ കൊണ്ട് പാക്കിസ്ഥാന്‍ സിന്ദാബാദ്‌
വിളികളെ നിശബ്ദമാക്കി. അന്തരീക്ഷം ശബ്ദ ഘോഷങ്ങളാല്‍ പ്രകമ്പനം കൊണ്ടു ഇതിനിടയില്‍
രണ്ടു പതാകകളും അന്യോന്യം ചെരിച്ചു താഴ്ത്തി. വീണ്ടും ഹസ്തദാനത്തോടെ വേര്‍പിരിയല്‍.
കവാടങ്ങള്‍ വീണ്ടും അടയുന്നു. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

ആകേണ്ട ഈ സുഹൃത് ചടങ്ങ് വെറും കൂക്കിവിളിയായിട്ടാണെനിക്ക് തോന്നിയത്. പക്ഷെ ചുറ്റും
പല ഭാഷകളില്‍ ആളുകള്‍ പറയുന്നത് കേട്ടൂ. “രാജ്യ സ്നേഹം കൊണ്ട് ഞാന്‍ കോരിത്തരിച്ചു”-

ആയുള്ള പ്രശ്നം രൂക്ഷമായത് കൊണ്ടാവാം ഇങ്ങിനെ എന്നെനിക്ക് തോന്നി. പക്ഷെ എന്റെ

പുല്ലുപിടിച്ചു കിടക്കുന്നത് കണ്ടപ്പോള്‍ വലിയ വിഷമം തോന്നി. എത്ര ഗതി കെട്ടാലും
മറ്റൊരു രാജ്യവും ഇതുപോലൊരു ദേശീയ നേതാവിനെ ഇങ്ങിനെ അപമാനിക്കില്ല. ചാച്ച

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The Payyanur Poduvals are often categorized along with the
large ambalavasi community by the same name, residing in Thrissur and neighboring
districts. In fact Payyanur Poduvals are distinct and forms a separate
community without any connection between poduvals elsewhere. Payyanur poduvals
have their origin&amp;nbsp; with the establishment
of Payyanur Subramanya temple. History reveals us that &amp;nbsp;the first Brahmin settlement in Kerala is Payyanur
which was a leading village or gramam which eventually enjoyed the position of
the Brahmin capital&amp;nbsp; in Kerala. Before
Brahmin settlement the population of Payyanur was &amp;nbsp;small. The land was waterlogged and devoid of
any cultivation. That is why we cannot find any remains of prehistoric
habitation in and around the present day Payyanur, barring , of course the
stone drawings and burials cites at places like ettukudukka and ezhimala. The
Brahmins easily made a domination over the local inhabitants with their
knowledge of paddy cultivation and astrology. They dug canals for draining
water to the rivers and made the fields suitable for paddy cultivation. They
brought alongwith them the plough , paddy and some insights regarding the
advent of monsoon beforehand so that the land and paddy saplings&amp;nbsp; could be made ready before the fields get
flooded. The entire era of subjugation, with the land owners slowly converting
to laboureres and the foreigners as their masters thus began. The Brahmins
easily accessed all land and made it the property of the main deity,
Payyanur&amp;nbsp; Subramanya swamy. The land
became devaswom with the &amp;nbsp;landlord at the
helm of affairs and the Brahmins started to rule the land in the name of God. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;In fact the migration of Brahmins
started much earlier and the male&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; foreigners
married the women from higher castes like Nairs and Nambiars. The offsprings
from such unions are believed to be the forefathers of Payyanur Poduvals. The
temple administration needed help from the local community for its day to day functioning.
The search for a community which is predominantly vegetarian finally zeroed on
Poduval families. Ten families were brought from neighboring places for the
purpose. Besides marars as drummers and their women folk for making garlands
for the deity, the entire duties connected with the temple &amp;nbsp;were entrusted with these ten families. Keeping
the temple accounts, providing security, cleaning the sanctum sanctorum etc
were given to these families in turns called oozhams&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;These families later became the heart
of the main poduval community. They are &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;POONTHURUTHI, UTHAMANTHIL, EDICHERY,
KARANTA, KURUNTHIL, PARANTHATTA, KARIPPATH, VELLORA, THEPPATH, KELAN&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Later on all these ten families grew
in number and several new groups originated with new names. Even now the
payyanur temple is administered by a committee comprising of six
representatives of Brahmin families, viz Thelakkat mana, Kunhimangalath mana,
Thaliyil mana, Rayaramangalath mana (called Ooralanmar) and 15 representatives
from &amp;nbsp;Poduval community (Two &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;each from
Poonthuruthi, Uthamanthil, Edichery, Karanta, Kurunthil and one each from
Paranthatta, Karippath, Vellora, Theppath and Kelan(Kaaralanmaar)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;When the gramam grew Poduval
community emerged very strong as the landlord appointed them in chief positions.
Payyanur is a typical village with all communities living in harmony. Every
community has a mother deity and a kavu revered by all members. Usually a
poduval is appointed as a Koima to these kavus. The koima acts as a mediator
for the community.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;In modern times, When Tippu marched
to Malabar almost all the Brahmin landlords escaped to Travancore. Tippu authorized
their powers to Poduval chieftains. Thus they grew very powerful until the
death of tippu. When the British gained power, the Brahmins were brought back and
the land was again assigned to them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: AnjaliOldLipi;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Have
you ever visited the place where you started your career? One might
have worked in a score of places (with good or bad memories), but to
think of the first office or School where the first hesitating overs
were made (and  where  one has been addressed a  Sir for the first
time)  is indeed a pleasant experience. Such was our feeling when we
the trio, Viswan, Karunakaran and myself crossed the gate of Banddka
Govt. Higher Secondary School ,yesterday. I have worked in several
schools and Universities before bidding adieu to my career, but I
will never forget my first classroom with a ninety plus eyes keen on
me (I was bewildered, anxious and curious, indeed) expecting
something special from me. I taught them the enchanting world of
chemical reactions, the myriad bonds between atoms loving each other
lip locked forming new compounds. I was not a novice in the act, as
my teachings started much earlier in crowded rooms of several
parallel Colleges. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: AnjaliOldLipi;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt; After
completing my teachers Degree, The Employment Officer at Kasaragod (I
was registered there in the care of address of my present companion,
Mr. Karunakaran) gave me a choice to opt any of three schools where
vacancies exist. I instantly opted Bandadka as my friend ,the other
companion, Viswan was working there. But when I went there for the
first time I realized that it is the Andaman of Kerala. The bus from
Poinachi, then a sleepy junction on NH17, with two or three shops,
took some two hours to maneuver the 30 kms curved and steep road with
many hairpins to  Bandadka which was at that time the last stop,
having a couple of shops and a high School, as Alatty reserve forest
in Karnataka borders the town. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: AnjaliOldLipi;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt; It
was a pleasant experience to be in such a beautiful place. From the
teachers hostel where teachers and bus employees lived together, one
could see the enchanting misty mountains   in the morning along with
the devotional kannada songs(gajamukhane…) from the temple nearby.
We used to take our bath from the temple pond which overflowed always
as it is constantly charged from above by a spring on all seasons.
The students at that time walked miles to reach the School as there
were no means of transport. Teachers were mainly from south Kerala
except the Kannada teachers. The faces of teachers like  Vidyadharan,
Varkey, Sahadevan, Muthanna and many others come to mind even today.
The seniors gave us sympethetic consideration and love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: AnjaliOldLipi;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt; The
evenings were much colourful. All of us will walk miles and miles
through the unraveled hills and meadows. There was a gravel road to
chamundikunnu which was commuted very rarely by lorries carrying
loads of wood. I will never forget those evenings in which we
acquainted with the fauna and flora of the place cracking jokes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: AnjaliOldLipi;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt; Alatty
forests opened a new vista. Once in the forest some strange smells
brought you back to the ages when you were wanderers in forests. The
ever pervading sounds of crickets, the refreshing sound of a
waterfall nearby, the chirping of birds, the distant cry of  animals,
and the many coloured butterflies flying all around …all added to
the splendor. Once we walked through the forest up to Sullia. On the
way in a small village inside the forest there was a cockfight going
on, attended enthusiastically by a lot of local people overjoyed by
consuming palm toddy which were served in plenty. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: AnjaliOldLipi;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt; We
went to the teachers room. The Head Master and the teachers received
us cordially. We exchanged our regards. The younger generation led by
Mr.Sandeep, the son of our old colleague took us to the old places
and classrooms. Now the School has grown much and there are numerous
new buildings. We took some photos and went to Karunakarettans hotel 
which we used to frequent in our old days when Bandadaka, the present
town was in the making. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

കടലില്‍ വളരെ ദൂരെ പോകാന്‍ ഭയപ്പെട്ടിരുന്നു. കാരണം പരന്ന ഭൂമിയുടെ അരികിലെങ്ങാന്‍
ചെന്ന് തെന്നി വീണാലത്തെ സ്ഥിതിയോര്‍ത്ത്-അനന്ത വിസ്തൃതമായ പ്രപഞ്ചത്തിലെ
കോടാനുകോടി നക്ഷത്രഗണങ്ങളില്‍ ഒന്നായ ആകാശഗംഗയിലെ ഒരു ചെറു നക്ഷത്രമായ സൂര്യനു
ചുറ്റും കറങ്ങികൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്ന ഭൂമിയില് ഗുരുത്വാകര്‍ഷണം കൊണ്ട് ബന്ധിക്കപ്പെട്ട
ഒരു നിസ്സഹായ ജീവിയാണ് നാം എന്ന വിവേകം കൈവന്നിട്ട്‌ ഏതാനും നൂറ്റാണ്ട് മാത്രമേ
ആയിട്ടുള്ളൂ. പക്ഷെ ഭസ്മാസുരന് വരം കിട്ടിയ പോലെ &amp;nbsp;നമ്മുടെ അറിവ് മുഴുവന്‍ തോക്കും ബോംബും പകയും
അസുയയും വര്‍ഗീയതയും , മഹായുദ്ധങ്ങളും കൂട്ടക്കൊലകളും ഒക്കെ സൃഷ്ടിക്കാനാണ്
കുടുതലും ഉപയോഗിക്കപ്പെട്ടത് . അതിനിടയില്‍ ചെറിയ ചില കാല്‍വെപ്പുകള്‍, ചാന്ദ്രദൌത്യ്രം,
ചൊവ്വ ദൌത്യ്രം, വോയേജര്‍ തുടങ്ങി മനുഷ്യരാശിയുടെ വന്‍ കുതിപ്പുകളും നടന്നു. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

കുതിപ്പിനോരുങ്ങുന്നു. നാം പ്രപഞ്ചത്തില്‍ ഒറ്റയ്ക്കാണോ . ആവാന്‍ ഒരിക്കലും സാധ്യതയില്ല.
മഹാ പ്രപഞ്ച സാഗരത്തിലെ ഒരു ചെറു തുള്ളി മാത്രമാണ് നമ്മുടെ ആകാശ ഗംഗ. അപ്പോള്‍
നമ്മുടെ ഗാലക്സി യില്‍ തന്നെ അല്ലെങ്കില്‍ മറ്റേതെങ്കിലും ഗാലക്സിയില്‍ ജീവന്‍

പതിനൊന്നു നാള്‍ സംഗീത സാഗരത്തില്‍ . കഴിഞ്ഞ പതിനൊന്നു വര്‍ഷവും മുടക്കമില്ലാതെ
നടന്നുവരുന്ന, കേരളത്തിലെ സംഗീത പ്രേമികളുടെ മുക്തകണ്ഠ പ്രശംസ നേടിയ, തുരീയത്തിനു
തുടക്കം. സാധാരണ കോരിച്ചൊരിയുന്ന മഴയുടെ അകമ്പടിയോടെ നടത്തുന്ന ഈ മഹോത്സവത്തിന്
ഇക്കുറി മഴ പക്കമേളം തീര്‍ക്കില്ലയോ എന്ന സംശയം അസ്ഥാനത്താക്കി മടിച്ചുനിന്ന മഴ
തുരീയത്തിനു കൃത്യമായി എത്തി. ഇന്ത്യയിലെ തന്നെ മികച്ച ശാസ്ത്രീയ സംഗീത വിശാരതരെ
ഒന്നിച്ചു കാണാനുള്ള സുവര്‍ണാവസരമാണ് തുരീയം, പയ്യന്നൂരിലെ സഹൃതയര്‍ക്ക് .&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

നടന്നു . ഓപ്പണ്‍ ഫ്രെയിം ഫിലിം സോസൈറ്റിയുടെ ആഭിമുഖ്യത്തില്‍ നടന്ന അന്താരാഷ്‌ട്ര
ചലച്ചിത്രമേള. ഇക്കാലത്ത് ചലച്ചിത്രമേള നടത്തുക എന്നത് വലിയ വാര്‍ത്തയൊന്നുമല്ല.
പക്ഷേ മലയാളം മാത്രം അറിയുന്ന സാധാരണക്കാരെ ഉദ്ദേശിച്ച്, മലയാളത്തില്‍ സംഭാഷണ
കുറിപ്പുകളോടെ,നാല് ദിവസങ്ങളിലായി, ഇരുപതോളം ഏറ്റവും പുതിയ &amp;nbsp;ചിത്രങ്ങള്‍ ഉള്‍ക്കൊള്ളിച്ചുകൊണ്ട്‌ ഒരു
സമ്പൂര്‍ണ മേള കേരളത്തില്‍ ആദ്യമായിട്ടാണ് . സംഭവം അതുകൊണ്ട് തന്നെ ഗംഭീരമായി .
ഫെസ്റ്റിവല്‍ അരങ്ങേറിയ സുമംഗലി തിയറ്ററില്‍ &amp;nbsp;കുറെ കാലത്തിനു ശേഷം കസേരകള്‍ നിറഞ്ഞു. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: AnjaliOldLipi; mso-bidi-language: ML;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

ഫെസ്റ്റിവല്‍ അങ്ങിനെ തനി നാടനായി. നേരത്തെ ബുദ്ധിജീവി ജാടയില്‍ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;മാറിനിന്ന ഒട്ടനവധി പേര്‍ പുതിയ സിനിമയുടെ
മാറിയ മുഖം കണ്ട് കൈയടിച്ചു. ധീരമായി, സിനിമയ്ക്ക് നല്ല ഭാവിയുണ്ടെന്ന് അഭിപ്രായപ്പെട്ടു. കൈകാര്യം ചെയ്ത വിഷയങ്ങളുടെ വൈപുല്ല്യം കണ്ട് &amp;nbsp;അമ്പരന്നു.
മലയാളത്തിലെ&amp;nbsp; ന്യൂജെന്‍ കപടമാണെന്ന്
തിരിച്ചറിഞ്ഞു. ഭാഷ പ്രശ്നമാവാതെ ലോകത്തിലെ എല്ലാ മനുഷ്യരുടെയും പ്രശ്നങ്ങള്‍
സമാനമാണെന്ന് തിരിച്ചറിഞ്ഞു.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Average
malayali psyche is very strange. They will boast of India’s
achievement in sending a mission to Mars- And simultaneously will go
to a Siva temple to pacify the Gods for the daughter’s chovva
dosham. Superstition has dug deep in them that they live with the
believes of 18th century although carrying a 3G phone.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; What is our
position in the Universe? Are we alone in this vast stellar expanse?
Is there anyone out there to shape our destiny? All these question
find answers once we visit ASTRO, a rare phenomena in these days of
renovation of decaying temples, at Vellur,  atop the Echilamvayal
hills. You will get a direct vision of the night sky from there
unobstructed by city lights. You can see the deep abysses in the
lunar surface, the satellites of planets, comets, distant Galaxies,
exploding stars and star clusters, the birth place of new stars.&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Astro is a
venture to shake of age old believes. A novel idea put forward by the
amateur sky watcher Sri. K. Gangadharan Master took wings when the
Kasaragod M P, P Karunakaran extended a helping hand by constructing
a building for the society atop echilamvayal hill. A huge telescope was donated by Vellur service co-
op bank. The other paraphernalia for sky watching were procured from
funds raised from the public. Now the Institution has risen to the
rare distinction as the single institution in the State giving
thousands of classes to school children and the public, every year.
There is no Govt. funding for running the institute and the
institution is raising its own funds from the public. The institution
is growing fast. There is a display of charts and working models. The
sky watching session led by Shri. K Gangadharan Master starts in the
evening extending up to midnight to be continued  in the early
morning next day. After a class at ASTRO every one will be able to
locate his position in the Universe. There are thousands of galaxies,
milky way, our own galaxy, is a small one among them. In the Milky
Way there are thousands of stars and our Sun is a comparatively small
star. The new vision gives thousands of new insights.&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Now the
Institute is planning to construct a planetarium. Even though it is a
big leap forward, the cost of a conventional planetarium is beyond
the scope of an Institution, run on contributions from the public. 
But Gangadharan Master’s experience in constructing a peoples’
planetarium at Payyanur Gandhi Park a couple of years back, has a
solution to offer for the challenge. A permanent people‘s
Planetarium could be constructed with five lakh Rupees. A committee
comprising of Shri. Pavoor Narayanan as chairman and scientists like
Shri. V. P. Balagangadharn(ISRO), Shri. K V Raveendran ,Dr.
Siddarthan (ISRO) along with Prof. T. P. Sreedharan, Shri. E.
Bhaskaran , Narayanan Master and several prominent figures from
public life have joined hands for the materialization of this dream.&lt;/h4&gt;

an eye opener. We are masters in turning every real feelings into
formalities-love into wedding, spirituality into religion etc. Modern
society has become&amp;nbsp;schizophrenic&amp;nbsp;turning every original biological&amp;nbsp;occurrence&amp;nbsp;into superstitions. Thus&amp;nbsp;blossoming&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;womanhood&amp;nbsp;is  under
utter believes of dark&amp;nbsp;superstition&amp;nbsp; A girl on his periods is treated
as an outcast. Women are elevated as&amp;nbsp;goddesses&amp;nbsp;only if it benefits
those in power. The original feelings of&amp;nbsp;womanhood&amp;nbsp;and motherhood are
never taken care of by the present society. Women are but easy prey
in the modern hostile society. Manoj Kana, the gifted Director direct
from the world of drama focuses these issues in his debut film Chaliyam. Chaliyam means the red paint used to colour the faces of
theyyam. It&amp;nbsp;dwells&amp;nbsp;in detail how religious believes  paint masks
around  original faces leading everyone into&amp;nbsp;pseudo&amp;nbsp;personalities. In
the&amp;nbsp;beginning&amp;nbsp;all religious believes should have been conceived as an
ordered way of life. But as times pass the same believes degenerate
and decays. It kills originality. Manoj takes the cue from the&amp;nbsp;pseudo&amp;nbsp;believes of the society. There is a mass hysteria going on in the
name of belief which is totally&amp;nbsp;against&amp;nbsp;women. Society  use women for
maintaining an order&amp;nbsp;which&amp;nbsp;enslaves them further. Chaliyam is the
story of a girl who understands this facts&amp;nbsp;distinctly&amp;nbsp; She fights
with the society with all her might alone. Can she change year old
believes? No ! But she poses a serious question- Are we all sane?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Gouri  a
village  girl belonging to the malaya community falls in love with a
boy belonging to  vannan community.&amp;nbsp;Even though&amp;nbsp;both these communities
makes their&amp;nbsp;livelihood&amp;nbsp;by performing theyyams,&amp;nbsp;inter caste&amp;nbsp;marriage
between the communities is strictly forbidden. To make matters worse,
one day while he was performing kathivanoor veeran, his uncle die of
heart attack in the sanctum&amp;nbsp;sanatorium&amp;nbsp;which is  very inauspicious.
Everyone searches reasons of this odd&amp;nbsp;occurrence&amp;nbsp; Kannan&amp;nbsp;openly&amp;nbsp;confesses his first sin before everyone. He had&amp;nbsp;indulged&amp;nbsp;in the &#39;sacrilegious&#39; act of making love to his beloved just before the
performance of the theyyam. This cuts a hole in his psyche. The
incident turned to be the end of his artistic career as he was
expelled from his home and community. The lovers  elope to a friends
home. Deprived of his artistic&amp;nbsp;livelihood&amp;nbsp;he is&amp;nbsp;compelled&amp;nbsp;to
undertake hard labour at a stone mine. Life turns to be a real toil.
A son was born to the couple. They settle in a hut constructed in a
Govt. Land. Here things turn upside down as Kannan out of melancholy
turns into an alcoholic beating his wife and son and finally&amp;nbsp;committing&amp;nbsp;suicide. 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The film
opens with the widow accompanying his father in law, a traditional
vaidyar to their home. Here everyone opposes her. The community
elders came and  threaten the family to&amp;nbsp;expel&amp;nbsp;them from the&amp;nbsp;community&amp;nbsp; and from performing theyyams if they allowed the widow to
live with them. Gouri hearing the heated arguments reaches a trance.
Shouting and howling she performs a&amp;nbsp;peculiar&amp;nbsp;theyyam dance known to
the elders as daivakoothu performed in the village years ago by
women.  All present were taken aback and after the&amp;nbsp;melee&amp;nbsp;every one
concludes that she is the&amp;nbsp;incarnation&amp;nbsp;of  mother goddess. The news
spreads fast and everyone competes to worship her. She and her father
in law (who takes her to a&amp;nbsp;psychiatric&amp;nbsp;who&amp;nbsp;attribute&amp;nbsp;the symptoms to
an early&amp;nbsp;menopause&amp;nbsp; seems to be&amp;nbsp;normal&amp;nbsp;but the entire community turns
psychic and compel her to perform the daivakoothu usually played by
women after&amp;nbsp;menopause&amp;nbsp; She out of compulsion consent to play for only
once where as the Hindu fanatics who visit her want her to be changed&amp;nbsp;permanently&amp;nbsp;as
a mother goddess. The 41 day penance is about to end and she had to
perform the theyyam the coming day. Torn between her motherhood and
her spiritual adherence   her periods returns back thanks to the
treatment she has been undergoing under her father in law. She&amp;nbsp;blossoms&amp;nbsp;into a women again and her son who was wholly&amp;nbsp;against&amp;nbsp;the entire
idea of this&amp;nbsp;madness&amp;nbsp;visit her at mid night and they escape in a boat
to freedom.

some 15 dramas which were well&amp;nbsp;received&amp;nbsp; He collected the huge amount
for shooting from &#39;bucket collection&#39;. He took great pains to get the
film released. Finally the opposition leader has to intervene to get it

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I saw the
film yesterday from Sumangali theatre, Payyanur. It was the last show
and there was a good audience. But no one left their seats after the
film is over. The end was so abrupt. It should have been shot much
more vividly. Last impression is the lasting impression. It was as
though some calamity has&amp;nbsp;occurred&amp;nbsp;which had prevented the film to close
naturally&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; There
indeed are some negative points. Being the debut film these are not
serious. Some scenes reminds an earlier movie on the same subject. The
scene with the Hindu fanatics seems to be patched up. 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt; The film is
indeed a commendable venture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt; &amp;nbsp; In
the past Payyanur had a very beautiful landscape. The great
perumpuzha winding along the eastern side&amp;nbsp;separating&amp;nbsp;kunhimangalam
from payyanur took a sharp turn at changoorichal and merged with the
kavvayi lagoon in the west. The water sheds near the river were&amp;nbsp;picturesque&amp;nbsp;with&amp;nbsp;multicolored&amp;nbsp;water lilies. These riverbeds were the
breeding ground of all marine life. Fish, prawn,&amp;nbsp;mussel,&amp;nbsp;crab etc.
Innumerable cranes and other birds - native and migratory perched in trees. The emerald paddy fields started from here.
The  raised platforms called kuthiru, where small thatched houses 
were built were like islands in the emerald fields. There were very
few huge constructions in payyanur which blocked distant view. From
the eastern nada of payyanur temple one could see a car moving
through kokkanissery and from the western nada one could see a train
whistling past. The air was pure. &lt;/span&gt;

were very poor except a very few. The landlord and the upper class
clerics had big houses. The land belonged to the temple and the
landlord.  All others lived in thatched houses. The construction of a
house was very simple.&amp;nbsp;Earthen&amp;nbsp;bricks were used for construction.
These bricks were made from muddy sand paste available in the compound by
the members of the family. These bricks were dried in the sun for a
couple of days. The platform and the main structure were built using
these bricks. The&amp;nbsp;ceiling&amp;nbsp;consisted of a&amp;nbsp;skeleton&amp;nbsp;made with&amp;nbsp;coconut&amp;nbsp;beams covered with woven&amp;nbsp;coconut&amp;nbsp;leaves. Above these a thick covering
of rock grass is paved. The inside of these houses were always cool. 
The upper grass covering needs replacement every year. Constructing a
house was in fact a social event involving friends and children. No
money is paid. It was pure service. In my childhood we had a real
jolly time helping thatching houses(What fascinated us most was
taking the grass up the bamboo ladder leaned against the house). My
house was really big with a number of rooms and verandas- three
storeyed. 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I weaved khadi for some ten long years. (Being a student, I  was

first wave of change in payyanur came with crape revolution- the&amp;nbsp;demand&amp;nbsp;for crape cloth in America rose to such a high degree that
the demand could not be met from traditional inputs.  In Payyanur &amp;nbsp;weaving was confined to weavers street. Weaving crape cloth gives you
wages  ten times more than weaving khadi. So people from all other
occupations shifted to weaving and every household installed looms in
their houses. I weaved crape for some time. It brought some&amp;nbsp;foreign&amp;nbsp;money into the economy which&amp;nbsp;revolutionized&amp;nbsp;the life style. Small concrete buildings started to emerge in Weavers
street where once whole families shared a common house. The
revolution was so great that people started to spend on luxuries for
the first time in their life- some non veg hotels like jubilee&amp;nbsp;restaurant&amp;nbsp;opened up  in payyanur town at that time.( I remember
those evening when the entire village will be there -at Jubilee
-eating porottta and meat salna for just one rupee)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;The
second revolution was the gulf revolution. Many Payyanurians tried
their luck in Gulf countries. Foreign money started to flow in and
construction took new wings. Everyone started to construct huge
houses spending their life savings on it as if it was the sole aim of
life. Now the madness has reached to its maximum. Now payyanur is a
large residential area like the metropolis. The landscape has
completely changed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;

to fields without food. They were not allowed to wear dress above
waist or wear chappals and ornaments. Everything including women were
considered to be  the wealth of the landlord. Girls&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;attaining&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;puberty

&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; It
was the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;beginning&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;of twentieth century. Karshaka Sangham, (the
organisation under the communists which played a pivotal role to stop
these atrocities), were yet to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;evolve&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;.  But two true&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;revolutionaries&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;questioned these&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;practices&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;with their lives- Kodilon Raman and
Vannathan Raman- These  two Ramans terrorised the Nayanars to such a
degree that they hired scores of goondas and British police to combat
them. &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;The
two Ramans were close friends. Both belonged to Kutoor. Kodilon was a
born&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;revolutionary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; He asked the same questions raised by karshaka
sangham two decades later. He refused to work for the landlord. He
asked his wife and sister to wear tops. He&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;threatened&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;to rape the
landlords wife and daughter if he dared to summon his wife or
daughter to his bungalow. wearing &amp;nbsp;chappals he walked in front of the Nayanars. In short Raman became rival number one of the landlord. His
property was confiscated and he was barred form cultivation. But he&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;plaughed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;and sawed his field without heeding the landlords orders.
The Landlord himself came forth with a gang of goondas. A terrible
fight followed. Raman confronted the goondas successfully in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;beginning&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;but his strength soon gave away before a score of
merciless villains. Raman was tied up and brought to the boarder of
the field. The goondas struck his head with tender&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;coconuts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;and threw
him in the mud beneath the plaugh. The bullocks alarmingly pulled him
submerged in mud.  He died a&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;martyr&#39;s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt; Vannathan
Raman, hearing the news dashed to the sight only to see the corpse of
his friend. He ran through the hills, crossing rivers and valleys to
taliparamba some 25 kms away to the Magistrate court at Taliparmaba
and reported the death to the magistrate. The Magistrate was a good
man. He visited the sight immediately and charged a case against the
Nayanars. Vannathan Raman&#39;s efforts to bring the culprits to  the law
took an unexpected turn when the Nayanars shamelessly used kodilon&#39;s
wife to give evidence against her husband. She told in the court that
his husband fell in the mud and the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;bullocks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;unknowingly pulled him to
death. Thus the first accused was left free.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt; Vannathan
Raman continued his lone&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;strike&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;against the landlords. He used to
visit a nearby toddy shop. The Nayanars forbid the owner from&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;giving&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;toddy to Raman. Infuriated, Raman took a large &#39;cherangathode&#39; and
stormed the bungalow of the landlord warning dire consequences if
anyone touched him. Nayanar withdrew to the interior and his wife
came forward and requested Raman to pacify. Raman&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;demanded&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;five litres of toddy and told the lady that the toddy shop owner had
been forbidden to serve toddy to him by her husband. The lady went
inside and came out with a five&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;rupee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;note and asked some of the
attenders to accompany Raman to the toddy shop to buy him toddy. The
landlord was taken aback. He bribed a circle inspector to arrest
Raman with the charge of stealing five&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;rupees&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;from his house.
The&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;circle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;inspector came to the village in a motor cycle with two
constables. The constables caught Raman and produced him before the
Circle. The circle&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;slapped&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;him. How can Raman suffer this atrocity?. He
beat the circle Inspector and constables. They ran off and took
refuge in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;landlords&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;bungalow. &lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt; The
landlord hired some twenty goondas to kill Raman. One day when Raman
was taking bath in the kuttoor river the goondas attacked him from
all sides with thorn poles. He resisted the attack and killed one
goonda. Finally he was beaten to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;unconscious&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;and tied up and brought
to the police station. He was sentenced for life. After thirteen
years of imprisonment he came back. By that time karshaka Sangham was
established. He participated in its activities. Once in kandonthar a
meeting of the sangham was being held. The landlord sent some goondas
to disperse the crowd. Raman dashed to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;scene&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;with his knife. The
goondas ran off. &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Once
Raman garlanded the  great KPR Gopalan who was released from jail. KPR took the garland and put it on Raman saying that he &amp;nbsp;deserved the garland better than him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; In
the past, Onam in Payyanur was not a big event like vishu. It&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;achieved&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;its present status of a grant festival only recently. Onam
is purely a commercial festival nowadays.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;Even though&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;the myth behind
the festival is a fond memory of a loving king of the people
governing his subjects living in harmony in a socialistic world, the
present day capitalists has turned it into a market festival in which
every one exchanges old appliances (in good working condition)  to
new, good for nothing gadgets sure to be defective within months.
The buying spree of people in payyanur town before onam is weird. The media rouses a psychological cue which prompts
everyone to buy unnecessary things. The madness is such that by the
time Onam is over the pockets of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 27px;&quot;&gt;almost all&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;will be empty. &lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;In
fact puthari was more important in Payyanur than Onam which was a
state festival. Puthari was an agrarian festival. The first day of
the year in which  rice from the first harvest of the year is cooked-
Fresh rice with a fragrance- Some times the two festival will
coincide. Then puthari will be celebrated with more enthusiasm. There
will be an auspicious time prescribed by the temple astrologer for
taking food on the day -some times early morning- but everything
including fried banana chips and pariprathaman will be ready for the
occasion . All men folk will help their women in preparing the feast.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

There will be inumerable swings hanging from branches of trees. Children will form merry groups indulging in country games. At those times no gadjets were necessary for play. madodukali - pieces of thatching tiles piled one above the other and hitting it with a ball- proved to be more interesting than any modern games. Elders played sedentary games like etteru with mussle shells.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Just 8 kms away from Payyanur is the picturesque ettikkulam beach. There were no vehicles at that time and we walked the entire distance. The scenery and a sea bath were the rewards. But we will miss the Onam feast. Instead we will have to be contented with an odd meal consisting of old bread with thousands of ants and smoky tea in the old shop in ettikulam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

first crusaders against&amp;nbsp;casteism&amp;nbsp;in Payyanur was Swami Anantha
Theertha. A second rank&amp;nbsp;Honors&amp;nbsp;in Physics from Madras University,
Anantha Shenoy (born on  2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;January&amp;nbsp;1905 in Thalassery in
a konkani family to&amp;nbsp;Ramachandra rao and Devubhai) should have got a respectable job unde&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;r the
British. But he chose a different and more adventures path. He jumped into the freedom struggle movement. He joined Sabari Ashram in 1926. Gandhiji advised him to take up the task of upliftment of the downtrodden classes. He went
to Sivagiri in 1928. Sreenarayana Gure consecrated him as Swami Anathatheertha and he became the defender of the rights of the down trodden. He raised the banner of revolt against casteism in&amp;nbsp;Malabar. He selected Payyanur as his battleground&amp;nbsp;following&amp;nbsp;an
incident at kandoth, Payyanur which shocked everyone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

patriots led by T. S. Thirumump, AKG , P. Krishna Pillai and
Keraleeyan &amp;nbsp;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;o spread the message of Guruvayoor satyagraha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;was attacked brutally at kandoth by a large mob with arms.

were thought to be dead in the attack which was sponsored by the landlord.
There was a path&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;forbidden to harijans&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;passing near kandoth temple (ara). The landlord tried to invoke communal friction
between the ezhavas who run the temple and the harijans convincing them that&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;struggle was
for the right of&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;harijans to use the pathway.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Hearing about the brutal attack Anantha Theertha reached Payyanur which was at the time a capital of casteism. At that time members belonging to lower castes were not allowed to pass through main pathways, and they were deprived admission to temples and other public places. They were not allowed to wear dress above waist, wear chappals, or caps. They were the main work force. But they were treated as animals. Even their presence within a distance of 64 feet from caste Hindus invited grave&amp;nbsp;punishment. Swamiji understood that the rights of the oppressed cannot be gained with out imparting proper education to them. All schools closed their doors to harijan students. So in 1931 he started
an School for the oppressed in Payyanur near Payyanur temple . Caste&amp;nbsp;Hindus&amp;nbsp;raised many objections and hence he had to shift the
school and hostel thrice. Swami intended to house the School in a permanent site by purchasing some land. Finally he tried to purchase some land in &amp;nbsp;moorikkovval from the money he got after selling his
ancestral house in Thalassery. But the land owner was alarmed at the idea of using his land for such a &#39;sacrilegious&amp;nbsp;&#39; purpose. So he changed his mind. Finally Swami
prompted a patriotic muslim to purchase the land for him. Here he started the School&amp;nbsp;which&amp;nbsp;has been a boon to many students who could have other wise withered away by doing menial jobs for caste Hindus. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; He led many&amp;nbsp;possessions&amp;nbsp;with harijans  to temples for entry. He marched through
all forbidden roads. He was brutally attacked by caste hindus. He was
a&amp;nbsp;revolutionary&amp;nbsp;saint. He questioned the discrimination meted out by harijans in Hotels by giving tea
in cocunut shells. He staged many dharnas before barber shops were harijans were not admitted. He led a march to Guruvayur where free meals were given to&amp;nbsp;Brahmins&amp;nbsp;in the name of God when&amp;nbsp;thousands&amp;nbsp;were dying of hunger outside. 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; He used to add
tails to the names of the students as Sarma, Marar, Nambiar, Das etc
to students to drive home the point that caste is a meaningless ordeal. Many&amp;nbsp;revolutionaries&amp;nbsp;of the times like Subrmanya

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; There
are several arguments regarding the etymological origin of Payyanur.
Dr. MGS Narayanan is of the opinion that Payyanur is derived from
pazhaiyyante ooru (the land of Pazhaiyyan,the Sangham king) But the
most popular  version is the ooru of payyan ( The land of Lord

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Payyanur
belonged to the erstwhile Payyanur firka. Kavvayi, the port of
Payyanur was the capital of Chirakkal thaluk. Kavvayi consisted of
138 desams. The first landing of Vasco de Gama on his way to Calicut
was believed to be Kavvayi port from where he collected enough fresh
water for his onward journey.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt; The human
foot prints at Payyanur dates back to prehistoric era. Stone writings
using iron nails could be seen from coastal Ramanthali to the hilly
Prapoyil. Prehistoric burial sites like ‘theeyathi malika in
echilam vayal and several other places, Burial urns(nannagadi)  and
umbrella stones at various places shows that human&amp;nbsp;habitation&amp;nbsp;started here ages before. There are historians who believes that the
stone drawings at ettukudukka dates back to 4000 BC.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;There is
nothing in the recorded history with regard to the life of the early
settlers of Payyanur. There were no property rights and the land
belonged to every one. Their number should have been small. They
might have lived a peaceful life without the interference of
outsiders as the land was well protected by rivers and the mighty
Arabian Sea from all sides.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;The early kavus of payyanur might have been their centre of social life with no idols of gods and without any doctrines of sacred texts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;As organized farming has not yet started
they might have depended on the food supply from forests, rivers and
fields. They might have been thwarted from their dwellings on the
arrival of settlers mainly Brahmins from central India, Karnataka and
Tamilnadu. Their&amp;nbsp;descendants&amp;nbsp;however is seen confined to certain
pulaya pockets on the outskirts of main land deprived of fresh water
and other amenities.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt; The Brahmin
settlers should have experienced some protests from the local people
initially. But their knowledge of astronomy and Gods gave them an upper hand which might have instilled awe on the natives. They
constructed temples on a large scale and started to live an ascetic
life eating only vegetables. They could predict the advent of monsoon
, eclipses and other  celestial events. Organised farming has not yet
started. Paddy was quite new to the natives. Paddy cultivation
requires some insight as to when rains will start as the seedlings
have to be made ready before the fields get flooded. They constructed
canals from every filed to the river bed for draining of the excess
water. They used small wooden vessels tied down from a tripod which
could be used for drying water from the fields . The Brahmin settles
brought the plough and seeds with them which revolutionalised
farming. They got easy labour from the natives. Gradually  as in the
other part of Kerala they organized a temple oriented village
structure . All the land was made officially belonging to the temple.
The temple was governed by Brahmins and they gradually constructed a
social structure with the Brahmins as rulers of the land and all
others their dependents. 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Payyanur
was a classic Kerala village. In fact it took the lead role in the 64
Namboodiri gramams of Kerala. The division of society on the basis of
castes made things simple. For every caste a small portion of the
village was allowed with a kavu of their mother goddess as the
centre.  An ambassador of the Landlord belonging to upper castes such
as Nair or Poduval was posted as the representative (koima) of the
caste who is directly answerable to the landlord. As there was cut
throat untouchability, a law caste man cannot even appear before the
landlord. He has to represent through the koima.  A person belonging
to pulaya caste should not come more than 64 feet towards a
Namboodiri: an ezhava some 32 feet and a Nair 15 feet. The penalty
for violating the rule was fatal. The working class was thus
tormented from morning to evening in the fields for the welfare of
the landlord who almost starved them to death. 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Raman Ezhuthachan was a contemporary of Thunjath Ezhuthachan whose
celebrated work &#39;soorya sthuthi&#39; is reckoned as a classic work in
Malayalam. The poem is an invocation to the mighty sun, the creator
and preserver of all life forms on earth. There is a strange story
regarding the creation of this charming verse in Malayalam. He
contracted the deadly chicken pox and as there was no treatment for
the highly contagious decease he was abandoned by his wife and
relatives. They left him to die in a forest . But his disciples who
loved him deeply were not ready to part him. With the help of the
tribal &#39;karimbalars&#39; they tried to rescue him. Ezhuthachan asked them
to put him  on a hammock made up of 51 coir strings (symbolizing 51
letters) hanging from the branch of a tree above a violent  river
overlooking a treacherous valley were he could see the sun through the entire day. He penned the verses from there and
at the end of the verse staring with &#39;aa&#39; he cut the first string of
the hammock. Then he penned the verses  starting with the succeeding
malayalam alphabet one by one. After completing 51 verses all the 51
strings had been cut and he fell down deep into the river. His
disciples who were witnessing the scene from the river bank thought
everything over. But miraculously he rose up from the river unhurt.
When he swam back to the shore everyone was astonished to see that he
had been fully cured. He had completed the celebrated
&#39;sooryasthuthi&#39;. When the news of the miracle spread everyone
including his wife returned. He proved that sun bath is a treatment for
all ailments.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Payyanur
Gramam has produced many men of talents in the field of Ayurveda
medicine. There was a saying in Malabar that ‘ashtangahrudaya’
has no effect beyond Valapatanam river. This myth was to be broken
later by eminent ayurvedachryas like Meethale veetil Koma Poduval,
Vannadil Valiya Chindan Vaidyar, V P Sreekanda Poduval, Edavalath
Kannan vaidyar and their disciples. They combined folk medicine with
ayurveda and produced miracles.  
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt; V P
Sreekanda Poduval popularly known as Chindan Vaidyar was a legend. He
was a famous playwright, actor, orator and a cultural activist of the
times. He had profound knowledge in Sanskrit literature. He had a
clinic in Payyanur town opposite to the present day Co-operative
store buildings. At that time there was a cotemporary to Chindan
Vaidyar –the mighty Edavalath Kannan Vaidyar who used to examine
patients at Home in Mahadeva Gramam. 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt; There were
two allopathic doctors at Payyanur at that time- Dr. V C nayanar and
Dr. C V Damodaran. These four doctors had a tough time visiting all
the houses of Gramam when an epidemic spreads which was very common
on those days. 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt; Sreekanda
Poduval was an untainted Gandian and was actively involved in the
freedom struggle. His dramas like maya naradam, santhanagopalam etc
were liked by everyone. He made many experiments in theatre also.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Today there
are many hospitals and doctors in Payyanur. But treatment has become
a real business. It is worthwhile to note that doctors like Chindan
Vaidyar  thought that treatment expecting money from the patient will
never cure anyone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;One
of the enchanting cultural events of the month at Payyanur was
‘thureeyam’, the 21 day long music extravaganza by Pothankandam
Ananda Bhavanan led by Swamiji Krishnanada Bharathi. Even though
Payyanur could boast of a rich cultural past, the present scenario is
disheartening with mimicry and music nights holding the reigns as
cultural masterpieces. The 21 days of pure classical music has
cleansed the atmosphere along with the karkadakam rains. The fest
usually held during July for a period of nine days with the
captivating title thureeyam - meaning the state of the mind in unison
with the cosmic soul - brings veteran musicians to Payyanur every
year. During the ten years it has proved beyond doubt that there is
no comparison with other festivals in payyanur. That is why Sri. M A
Baby, the guest of honor for the concluding  day expressed his
feelings when he said I repent Payyanur is not in Trivandrum or Delhi
where I could have frequented fro the festival in some pretexts. 
This year, being the tenth year of its existence, the festival lasted
for 21 days . The list of musicians performed will enthrall any
musical enthusiast- the mighty Chourasya, Ramesh Narayanan, T. N.
Krishnan, Kudamaloor Janardanan, Kadri Gopalnath, R. K Sreekandan,
Rajan Misra &amp;amp; Sajan Misra, T. V. Sankara Narayanan, Sikil
Gurucharan,  Abhishekh Raghuram, T. M. Krishna, Sanjay Subramanyam,
Ramakrishnamoorthy, Patabhirama pandit, Kannatika Brothers, Vani
Satheesh, Jayaraj &amp;amp; Jayasree, Rudrapatanam Brothers, Malladi
trio, Dr.Radha Bhaskar and Dr. Pandula Rama. It was an event in which
generations met.  Abhishekh Raghuram, the promising youngster and R.
K. Sreekandan at 93. (It is a miracle to see him singing in his
unabated sweet voice untouched by time. Hariprasad Chourasya started
to shiver all over when the concert began. He could not hold the
flute properly due to shivering. But when he brought the flute to his
lips the entire atmosphere changed. The melody transformed the entire
audience into a whole.  He sung ‘Megha Malhar’ and immediately
there was a down pour which lasted for hours. T. N. Krishnan and
Kadri Gopalnath mesmerized the audience. The youngsters proved their
mettle and demonstrated that there is ample scope for classical music
to the new world infested with cricket and rock music. &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

paid great pains in arranging the fest. The stage decoration was
ideal for an event with such galore. Each day the stage settings were
changed and even lot of fresh flowers were used for the purpose. The
entrance to the fest with a large idol of siva in thandavam with
flames raising in the background and fragrant smokes raising up told
everything. Every day when the music is over and the stomach complain
of delayed supper there was a liberal supply of ‘payasam’ to all
. Besides snacks were placed at the entrance for those who require it
 for enjoying good music. On the last day there was a good feast
also. &lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Music
is a passion for many. Why ? Even Einstein at the top of his fame
repented that he could not get time to listen more of Bethovan. Music
is produced from harmonious vibration of wires, air, vocal chords and
the like. The basic form of nature is owing to the vibration of
subatomic particles, the music of which could not be heard by mortals
because of their high frequency. Microcosm and macrocosm are
identical. The magic of music works when the external music
synchronises with the internal music. That is why a keerthana in
mohana ragam changes the entire&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Black Magic, serif;&quot;&gt; mood of an individual. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Chemistry
and Physics were my favorite subjects as they explain the physical
world to us more eloquently than any religious text. So when I
reached College my ambition was to pursue chemistry for my graduation
as I felt the subject more appropriate to quench my thirst to know
nature scientifically. But unfortunately an incident at the Chemistry
lab at &lt;a href=&quot;http://muralipayyannur.blogspot.in/2012/11/payyanur-college.html&quot;&gt;Payyanur College&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;totally changed my priority and I chose
Physics as my Graduation subject (though I never repented the
decision)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt; The
incident occurred at the University Examination in the Chemistry Lab.
I loved Chemistry lab with its pungent smell of rotten eggs (the
Kip’s apparatus always in action),  Bunsen burners ignited and the
large high work bench with flasks, test tubes , pipettes , burettes,
glass rods and other paraphernalia. It was our initiation to the
world of experimentation and exploration of the material world. The
two main parts of the lab work for Pre- Degree were titration and
salt analysis. I liked salt analysis much. Here we are supplied with
an unknown salt. We were expected to find out the salt-its acid
radical and basic radical - after performing a series of experiments
with acids and alkalis. There is an approved system for the analysis
in which the salt after dissolving in water  in a test tube was
treated with acids ,alkalis and gases and the changes observed.
Initially the presence of a radical will be detected and once a clue
is received there are other experiments which could confirm its
presence. This way after a serious of experiments one could
categorically tell what the salt is. There were some thirty common
salts like Calcium carbonate, barium nitrate, potassium chloride, etc
which were given for detection. The method is very scientific and
there are fewer chances for error. I appreciated the scientific
practices involved. So during our practical sessions I always found
out the salt much earlier than any of my friends. 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt; The
disastrous incident occurred at the annual University Examination.
Being the final Examination all were a little tensed. The examiner
was a lady Professor from a far away College. I was a little anxious
as a pass in the practical exam is mandatory. After the initial
screening I was supplied with a white salt. I began my experiments
and in less than five minutes I confirmed the acid radical. Within
another ten minutes I got the basic radical also. I felt very happy
and began to write the summery of the results very elaborately. I
finished everything and there is still half an hour left. The
attender of the Chemistry lab Shri. Govindan was a close family
friend. He decided to help me. When the examiner was not in sight he
came very close and asked me in a whisper. “You Got?” I murmured
back happily “Yes- Calcium Carbonate”. To my great shock he
quipped “ Wrong! It is Barium sulphate ” I was bewildered beyond
control and I started to shake all over. My belief in myself was
shaken. I was damn sure that the result I got was correct. But how
could I suspect the very man who has supplied the salt? He has
pronounced his final verdict and I am proved totally wrong. Now there
is only one way left- I scored off all my observation and started to
write the summery for Barium Sulphate . 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt; When hardly
five minutes were left to close the exam, Govindan, my dear friend
came to me again and said “I am sorry Murali –I got confused-
What you got is absolutely correct!!! The salt is Calcium Carbonate!
Now hell came loose on me. A shiver started to develop from beneath
my legs which started to climb up and I began to tremble visibly. I
thought I am about to lose the game as a failure in the practical
exam will disqualify me for higher studies and my parents are sure to
put a full stop to my studies. I started to write the observations
again correctly within the time left. But my hands were trebling
violently and my fingers failed to decipher my thoughts. I thought of
reporting the whole matter to the examiner. But I feared that may
complicate the case further. Finally the last bell rang and I handed
over the sheet fully scored off to the examiner. My exasperation was
beyond words.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;JUSTIFY&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;However I
passed the practical exam in first class. But my fear lingered.
Whenever I passed past the Chemistry lab I remembered the incident
and I began to hate the subject. The incident at the Chemistry lab
thus changed my priority and my life!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Answering
to natures call is a routine thing nowadays. There are attached
bathroom cum water closet for every room. But in the Payyanur of the
past it was another matter altogether. I remember the long queue of
elders at Mundoommal School on all mornings. There were four modern
toilets constructed by the panchayath which revolutionalised the
practice of answering the natures call before day light breaks in.
Every house had a small area covered with trees and shrubs which
could be used by the women folk in times of emergency. There was
palvalappu where one could frequent even at noon time. Attending the
call at night time was really a night mare. Electricity was yet to
emerge and the only light source was a leaf torch or kerosene lamp
which will cast shivering shades on every object and will project
imaginary figures on walls. The stories the elders present at night
were all about ghosts and supernatural events. I had never heard a
story from them which inspires a young mind. Instead they terrorized
every young mind with ghost stories. Besides, there was the real
danger of snakes which were in plenty at that time. The ordeal
becomes unthinkable in rainy season.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Our
house was a three storied structure in mud, stone and wood, the
memory of which will bring forth euphoric episodes rushing up. The
ground floor consisted of the kottilakam, the sacred room, were
ancestors are believed to reside, the padinhatta, the abode of  gods,
the fuming kitchen and a long corridor which connects these rooms to
the chayippu, the room for ladies.  while they are in the ‘forbidden’
days of menstruation, the ladies disappears into the darkness of
these rooms and at meal times they are provided with the ration from
the kitchen without touching them, in separate plates. (They are
accepted as human beings only on the fourth day after the holy
ablutions and after wearing the washed cloths from the vannathi
lady). There were also rooms for child birth and store rooms. In
addition there was a raised platform facing the western side were one
could enjoy the evening winds. The only problem is the smell from the
aala, the cow shed. The first floor is separated from the ground
floor by a horizontal wooden door at the end of the staircase. There
were two large bed rooms and another room for drying paddy. A long
and airy corridor was used sometimes for drying cloths. There was a
wooden ceiling for this floor also. The third floor is exclusively
for bats and other small animals who will make the nights horrible
with their whispers and cries, mimicking the ghosts in the stories of
elders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: center; text-indent: 1.27cm;&quot;&gt;In
our compound also there was a mini forest on the southeast side which
was used by the family members for answering the nature’s calls.
This was a very natural affair as the shit of one day will
metamorphosis into a heap of earth the next day. By the week end it
will disappear altogether. Our mischievous uncle who was living with
his family a few yards away will sometimes clear fell the forest all
of a sudden without our knowledge putting us all in trouble the next
day. I clearly remember one such day. I was teaching in a parallel
college at that time and I had to take a class at 10 am . I was
distressed to see my vanished forest and I thought of relieving on
the way at Mundoommal school. But  when I reached there,  there was a
queue and I had no option but to postpone the call till evening. I
travelled to pazhayangadi and attended the class at Nalanda College
with some difficulty as the call was frequently reminded and tension
prevailed as there were no toilets in the neighborhood. After one
hour the tension intensified and I feared something terrible to
happen. Fortunately the second hour was free and on the pretext of
taking a cup of tea, I came out and headed straight to Madaippara
which was deserted at that time of the day. I was running to find out
a secluded place. Once I found a corner with no eyes to peep on, I
relieved myself and for the first time in my life I felt what bliss
means. After that came the vital question. I have to clean myself.
The tank in Madippara was a very old one constructed by the Jews in
another century and venturing into it is unthinkable. I was much
relieved by the sight of a small hole filled with water from rains. I
returned to the college in time for the next class.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

is also a tail piece. That poverty stricken childhood appear to have
taken place in another life. Now all friends who were part of that
general famine are prosperous. Some have built fabulous houses with
modern toilets and bath tubs. No one believes the old tale. But
everyone complains of constipation. The irony is that when toilets
became plenty motion has become scarce.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;V P Manoharan has left us. Who was Manoharan
to us, gramers? He was indeed a good friend with a substantial potential for
storytelling. In the eighties when he along with Sathish Babu, Payyanur started
a difficult carrier at literature, almost everyone was sure that he is destined
to be the number one in storytelling and will rise above the confines of
gramam. He did excellent job writing some 100 plus stories and some screen
plays. He has to his credit five collected volumes. He has penned enough
literature to be equated with the established writers of our times. But
Manoharan remained anonymous as a writer even among his friends. He was
reluctant to discuss his stories even with friends. He used to frequent kovval
very often in the past. He used to take part in the unending discussions on
evenings. He was an introvert and never took pains to acquaint with strangers.
After he got promotion as an Officer his creative spirit&amp;nbsp; was on the decline but still exceptionally
good stories appeared occasionally. His stories appeared in kalakoumudi,
Deshabhimani, kadha and almost all magazines of repute. &amp;nbsp;But Manoharan was reluctant to project himself
as a literary figure. He always withdrew from the lime light. As an officer of
Sales tax, he preferred to be posted in Kasaragod as some of his limited
friends in the literary world were in Kasaragod. As time passed, he seldom
visited Kovval and he got a good audience at Sarga Film Society. He was not
attached to film world much but he was accepted in their circle instantly. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Manoharam, it
appears, lacked confidence as a story teller. He longed popularity as any
ordinary man but lacked the tactics needed. Thus when time passed his
contemporaries gained popularity and he thought he was losing his ground and&amp;nbsp; altogether stopped writing. For the past few
years he did not write a single story and he disliked to discuss the matter. His
friends have been expecting a glorious return when all of a sudden he was
hospitalized. Still no one thought he will retire so soon.&amp;nbsp; When finally the news of his death came
everyone was shocked. It is mere destiny that he is destined to become popular
posthumously. The distress of his wife and two sons is beyond words. May they
have enough strength to pass through these turbulent times? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Bicycle thieves is the name of one of
his collected works. Bicycle thieves is an all time classic by De Sica. It dwells
deep into the social psyche following post world war financial crackdown which
turns an innocent man into a thief. Manoharan’s Bicycle thieves run on quite
different lines. Here, in a town, named K, the bicycle of a rich man is being stolen.
Efforts to find out the lost cycle by the Police&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (on the insistence of the Home Minister who is a close associate
of the&amp;nbsp; rich man) proves futile. The local
sub inspector takes into custody all the 250 bicycle in the town and arrange an
inspection parade. The rich man checked all but he could not find his beloved
one. He had an emotional attachment with his favorite cycle as it has taken him
through life. Initially he was a newspaper boy, then milkman and then an errand
boy –his bicycle was his companion to richness. Now he is a business magnet of
the state who possesses several business establishments run by his sons and in
laws. Now as all efforts to trace the lost cycle proved futile the rich man
became depressed. He lost all interest in life and was bed ridden and the lost
cycle became a real issue. Where is the cycle gone? Now one of his sons during
a soliloquy &amp;nbsp;reveals the secret. There
are many expensive vehicle lying idle in the garage. But their father is
putting shame on them by travelling in an old bicycle. Hence they dispatched the
cycle in a lorry to wayanad and the driver has thrown the archaic vehicle into
a deep crevice. The story ends here. But the depiction of a generation which does
not appreciate the past is a contemporary reality. It is exposed in its vivid
and shocking manner. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;What does our ancestors will contain?
In&amp;nbsp; Osyath, Manoharan shock us by
reveling the osyath of a father who shares his major ailments to his offspring.
&amp;nbsp;prarthananirahtam, marakayudham, rogikal
–all are good stories depicting real life incidents portrayed in a natural
style.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Manoharan has gone. But people will
continue to read his stories.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Which is the most colorful and nostalgic
moment everyone in gramam loves to remember?&amp;nbsp;
Surely it is the time of pooram and vishu, the memories of which will
take you off to your childhood days. The nature will be in full bloom - the
kani konna will be in glittering gold and the chembakams will be fully opened.
The distant noise of crackers will tell you of the impending vishu. The
vacations are on and for two months we are not expected to attend the boring
classes. Everyone will find out ways&amp;nbsp; to
collect maximum possible money for purchasing crackers. Money for crackers form
elders is unthinkable and so cashew nuts which are in plenty proved to be the
best option for money.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Poorotsavam in Malabar has an
entirely different connotation. Elsewhere pooram is synonymous with thrissur
pooram. Here Pooram is a fertility festival. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;All the temples with mother deities
celebrate this festival of the spring. In all homes young girls nearing puberty
will invocate kama, the god of love with gaiety. Pooram starts from karthika to
pooram in the month of meenam. On these days young girls make an idol of kama
in flowers in their kottilakam with awe and respect, give water and fire to it
periodically under the supervision of elders. On the last day they bid farewell
to Kaman. They earnestly request&amp;nbsp; him to
visit them early next yearsinging&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

ritual is followed by drum beats and the deity is immersed in the holy pond on
the last day. There will be a poorakkali and maruthukali in all the kavus.&amp;nbsp; In ashtamachal Bhagavathi temple in theru the
ritual is very symbolic. All the village folk assemble before the sanctum sanctorum

ablutions with the four deities on decorated wooden horses. After the team return
in the evening, there is keleepathram , ayyakkapodi and thidambu nritham. On
the last day there is saliya porattu which is a sarcastic criticism of society
pronounced in a somewhat vulgar language. The entire ritual can be conceived as

enthrall anyone interested in folk culture. It is not a replica of mappila
kolkali or other kolkali forms elsewhere. It is unique. It can even be termed
classical as the songs and the rhythms resemble karnatic music. It requires a
lot of acrobatic skills as kolkli is a prelude to kalarippayattu. The disciples
of kalirippayattu requires the sharpness and alertness of body which is inculcated
to the young disciples through a series of kolkli performance. In kolkali, the
players are provided with two small sticks (made up of Kara) fitted with steel
bangles. When they are struck together they make a musical note. The players assemble
in a circle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;There should be a minimum of 16 players. The players are grouped
into two types - the aka, meaning those inside and the pura, meaning those
inside. The kurikkal and the singers will occupy positions outside this circle.
They dance according to a sett rhythm sung by the singers and echoed by the players
in unison. There are plays which have to be played in a sitting position then
in a standing position and finally in a moving position. While the pay
progresses the kurikal utters talams loudly like munifo po (meaning Move
forward) madakkam po (meaning go backwards etc) . The play ends with a vaithari
thalam. There are some 50 different varieties of &amp;nbsp;play but usually some twenty are &amp;nbsp;played. In olden times there used to be
kolkali on all festivals like nira, puthari etc at Payyanur temple. There,
beneath the erinhi tree the first play is enacted as an offering to lord
Subramhanya.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;The kolkai songs are melodious and are usually invocation to
gods. Kalasappattu by Anidil Ezhuthachan is a classic work which appears to be
penned down solely for kolkali. Kalasappattu describes the brahma kalasam at
payyanur temple in Malayalam era 1002. The temple which was completely destroyed
in fires during tippu’s carnage was rebuilt by an anderjanam of
thazhakkattumana and the song describes the various rituals of the celebrations
in connection with the renovation of the temple.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

item in Kolkali. Here a pole is erected at the centre of the playground. Atop
the pole a circular disc is attached from which coloured strings are tied down.
The other ends of these strings are tied to the little finger of all players.
While playing, the strings intersect each other forming a fine net. When the
net is complete, the play is reversed and the same song is repeated. Exactly
when the song&amp;nbsp; ends the net will be
undone. &amp;nbsp;WATCH CHADUKUTHI KALI AT&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
