Random thoughts and some personal notes

Living here for 29 years and working for over 6 years, I have lately realized that the life here is getting different, tougher,insecure for several reasons some within our control and more outside our control..same is happening in all parts of Kerala, as informed by some of my friends living across the state. Though we are at the best of freedom ,it seems like we are falling into the arms of slavery by Spirituality and also cultivating within us some seeds of arrogance bred by political affiliation. As this reality is said aloud the family, friends, relatives ,anyone known first crosses their lips,then urges us to cross ours..whole society crosses their lips..if still any one speaks out then following questions erupt..

Dr.Krishna Iyyer passed away. He was 83 years just short of seeing 1000 full moons. He would have seen more if not for the unfortunate incident that took his life in the early hours of 26th August 2009. Yesterday we were having onam celebrations at office and for preparing the athappookkalam I had started to office by about 4.30 am. Just after 6 am amma rung me to inform the sadnews.

He was not just a good teacher but a unique teacher with his style of teaching that helped so many students who hated Mathematics to love it and study better..my student life is a testimonial to it. I used to meet him almost every day in the evening..along the very avenue from Kawdiar to Vellayambalam..(as the case is to every one who travels in the stretch). Be it rain or cold, morning or evening,we used to find him on gentle strolls in the streets,when he find us a pleasent smile filled with happiness appears accompanied by a firm grip on our hands ..
