Dear interested reader, my apologies for having not introduced the person so far. Well, it is unimportant in a sense since time, space and names are quite relevant for the people whose abode spreads over Kalikooth, Madiwala, Blunderore (in the state of Karnataka, which unfortunately is its capital), Ernakulam and world at large. ‘ Lookame thara madu’ as the great poet Vallathol Kumaranasan described us. Also let me tell you that our story transgresses the borders of time and space.
Madiwala is a unique place on earth where it is continuously night for days in succession and then perhaps a morning to compensate. The nights are always active with the inspiring sports like 28 (called erupathiettu), gossiping and sikhar sammelans. The day usually breaks only once the intellectual spirit subsides. Another interesting aspect is that people although quite bold, rarely fights with the sword (“vaal” in Malayalam). Sword of Tipu Sultan reminds them the nostalgic days in college, where in every final year week people were so aggressive as to fight with it at any cost. The routine begins with some highly tasty dishes like madistu, pulistu etc. for breakfast and lunch will invariably have cuisines like ‘mutta sambhar’, loads of tasty curd, salt and Wills navy cut. Since the ingredients and preparatory methods of the above mentioned dishes are patented by Ashik Mathew, who is doing some path breaking research in these and also in graph theory in computer science at Idivettiya Institute for Science (abbreviated as IISc), I cannot disclose them. Sorry!
The people who live there form the rarest variety of Homo sapiens called, Madiwalians. Their intellectual capacity has always been a debate among the scientific community of Infosys, IBM, Oracle and TCS S/W igineers. Some consider them to have an extra chromosome, while other argues that they have an extra gene. Well, but most dominant opinion is that they possess an extra ‘el’. This is after the comparison with erst while district collector Joseph Alaaak (pronounced in the ‘Jayanish’ method)- the king – who used to say ‘ orellu kuuduthala eniku, and don’t you ever forget that’
Madiwala, evening 6:15, 2nd April 2006.
The mysterious character Dannye was spending his time with me with plans for April 1st 2007, in our little home. As an accomplice of him who played the vital role in designing the plan for quite many adventures on April 1st 2006, I was under the threat of retaliation from friends for the grant ‘vadiyakkals’. Well, we were so bored that we decided to seek the advice of Rajesh to kill boredom. In fact, he is an expert in giving suggestions. We were a bit doubtful whether he could be traced since, if he goes to buy fish from market, it will become quite an issue to get him. Fish is the problem. Usually once he goes for buying fish, he will rarely be satisfied with the fish at Angamali and probably go to Kalikooth, Blunderore, Hyderabad or name it. He is too careful about quality. We all doubt whether Srinivasan created the character of Vijayan mash in Chintavistaya Shyamala after him. But this time it was a surprise. The mobile phone of Sajish,- a welcome guest of Madiwala, a budding film star and a homeopathy cum modern medicine doctor by hobby – ringed and the one answered at the other end.
I asked
“Super star Sajish aano ….”
Laughter from the other end.
“Super star thirakkilaanu …”
“Kidapara rangam specialist Rajesh aano …?”
Silence ……..
Evide nannude nighoodanum njyanum thirichadikkan poolum vayyathe boradikkunnu. Thangal kurachu cinema kadtha paranju thannu boredi maataamo ennariyaan vilichathaanu…….. Thirakkilaano …”
The phone was then handed over to Dannye. They spoke and I too had some interesting tips from Rajesh to kill boredom.
It was after that phone call that we realized the climax of our story. The one is to become a super star in the near future!!! Perhaps our bet for yet another ‘Sanoj Kumar’. And we will be known to the world in near future – after this novel – as his friends. The first scene taken with him itself is award winning – A doctor who is peeping through the window in a bed room where the hero, Sajish, is with a woman!!! Well, no wonder we have a hope for a ‘Poshcar’ award too. The director Mr Unknown and the producers are quite lucky.
I imagined the scene.
The issue would be proper lighting. Since the one is too fair, tall and handsome as to create a glare in the camera, his appearance with a white coat requires a Santhosh Sivan to be film with technical perfection. Nevertheless, they might have found some ways to reduce his glamour. Poor Rajesh, he must be chanting, “karthaave… alla sorry Marx, Engels Leninaadikale, nirishwara, enikkenthinithra glamour thannu ..!”. Then, once take is ready, he would be peeping through the window and here comes the lady. She is the actress who enacted the role of Pattalam Pachu’s wife (where Jagathy goes as jaran’ ‘)in the art film ‘Dosha Raghavan’ starring Dileep. So her role matches the situation. Now there sleeps Sajish. He is too tired. The lady is coming with a cup of tea. Hmm… she must be a bit tired, but still is cheerful and energetic. Well, the duty of a housewife is obviously tiresome. So she touches Sajish. And the bloody doctor is watching this….. Hmm ….Now, she delivers the dialogue ….
“Enikku moone, chaaya kudikku …..” (dear son, wake up , your tea is ready)
The doctor is staying in the house and perhaps a family friend of the mother and son!!!
Oh, …… That was an anti-climax. Entellam enthellam swapnangalaanenno, ethellam enthellam mohangalaanenno . I couldn’t help singing that song ….. 
But this shouldn’t mean that his role should be a small one. In fact, in a lengthy film of one hour produced by the makers of Jurassic Park and Matrix, KSTA (Kerala School Teachers Association), whose active decision maker is none other than Kumaran mash, the only father of the one, is sure to create a new collection record. Also, the theme itself is comedy –the student politics. So it is sure to have some hilarious scenes. Super stars like Rajanikanth, Shahrukh Khan, Amir Khan and Mammoty had requested roles in this would be hit film. But KSTA refused due to ideological reasons. After all, how could a revolutionary organization, take such petty bourgeoisies!
So we are awaiting the latest developments. In the meantime, I am sure that the reader would be interested to know more about the one. Let us cut across time and go to Kalikooth in the next chapter.
