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”!

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

Mind over matter

In the 36 years of existence in this planet, how many times have i gone to the gym? Once and for 5 days to be precise. Not very strange considering the fact that I tip the scale a good 105 Kgs.. fat deposits carefully nurtured and built over a decade of helping Dr. VJM build his empire. And what i have achieved? Just mass! My family and wife in particular have been pestering me for ages to get going and start on a lean meal diet to at least maintain the existing weight, if not reduce. Well, being the thick skinned rhino that I am, no amount coaxing, cajoling or ridiculing from friends and relatives could do the trick. I knew that the call has to come from inside – inside me.. And it finally came last week. For some time, I have been trying to change my wardrobe, which has been relatively the same for some 4 years now.. (I’m one of those minimalist types who do not feel the necessity to buy new stuff every month). Pushed by my wife, I decided to start hunting for some shirts and Tees e
