Babu chettan – A Full life!


• An ordinary man from kannadi,
• Struggled as everyone in the initial phase of life
• Slogged and made a great career,
• Sweat it out in the deserts of the middle east
• Who had a bunch of friends who would die for him,
• Who had a wife and 2 kids who adored him
• A wonderful son in law, daughter in law, and a grand daughter
• Who had a huge extended family who loved him– KV & VK families
• Was someone who lived life Kingsize,
• Was someone at who’s home, everyone felt at home
• Who helped God knows how many people in distress!
• Who ensured people around him also had a good life
• Was a friend, philosopher & guide to many
• A mentor to many..

Guess there is no chance of a debate on whether his was a Full Life. “Alla Pinne”!

Babu Chetta.. it wasn’t time for you to leave us! We so wish you could have cheated death!!

A good photograph and will written Raju...He was simply Gr8!! A big brother to all of us, a son to all ammas valiammas and cheriyammas, uncle or valiachan to all younger ones!!! May his soul rest in peace & God give strenth to Meechi and children. I will always remember him when humming his favorite songs chellacherukiliya, aparasundara neelaakasham, vijanatheerame..

Sorry State of Affairs

I chanced upon a CBSE Social Studies textbook for Class VIII yesterday while my wife was preparing teaching notes for the kids at school. Observations from that exercise: If the syllabus in a text book is a reflection of our academic system, CBSE has been successful in shocking me. I am dismayed at the extremely superficial nature of what is being taught in schools. While there are arguments that the all studies up to Class 10 need only be superficial, I fail to understand the logic behind it.. Most of the time, the school years are spent studying, not learning. In retrospect, I feel that even if kids are just studying (and not learning!), it remains with you the rest of your life. Proof of the pudding was that, I was able to explain to my wife the background of the Mughal empire, the key distinguishing features of most of the rulers and their contributions in detail. All this, from my memory. A little bit of googling around confirmed that I was bang on! Textbooks are supposed to provi...

Poladiasis

“An affliction which makes you say the wrong thing at the right time” Very few people are endowed with the ability of saying the wrong thing at the right time. Here are a sample few from real life: “I have in the last 2 months found out how much politics is prevalent in our office” (rightly said, but in a common platform and with the boss also around!) “Wow! U had a fracture!” “Oh s***, you don’t need to use the crutches again?” This is classic Poladic stuff- most of the time you cannot make such statements and get away with it. But there are some remarkable people who can make such statements and carry on as if nothing has happened. You need to be absolutely innocent to continually be afflicted with Poladiasis. Or at the bare minimum, you need to project the image to the world that you are completely innocent! I have, thanks to the lady, enriched the English language with a new word. Lets all together have more definitions added for the word to keep it alive!!! PS: I’ve found another ...
