Varithachayan has his eyes fixed on the screen of his mobile phone. It is ten at night. What reforms are taking place in this world. A time when time and distance did not matter. When Eliamma was given the last sacrament and then taken to the family grave in the cemetery, Matthew, the only child, was seen running from place to place holding the mobile. Then someone told me. The party was busy showing his better half and only child in Qatar for the quick burial! Achayan remembered that when he was a school teacher, he used to shout slogans during protests against computers. Our line has always been a philosophical disagreement against modern development and the unemployment it causes. Therefore, it is still a bad club to venture there. He does not allow anyone outside to ask and understand the revolutionary vigor that has not yet been extinguished.
When he arrived, Mathai was very busy. So busy that there is no time even to sing the Oppies and give the sacrament. All the people who came to know about the death began to rush to take their father with them, and it was a terrible panic. As soon as the prayers of the first days were over, he knew that his swellings were multiplying. Didn’t ask for anything. The rule is to call him ‘if you come with him’!
Arumapputra did not waste time and took the next flight after the 60-year-old Itchikan of Dhagepally, who had started a fish business on interest and closed it down due to covid. However, he left without a word before leaving. Trisa will be back soon as a baby. The next flight with dad!
Don’t say bad, before long, dressed up like Navoda, with all the black holes in the face lotus, melasakalam, Athar and Waripushi Tresa, there is an advertisement puppet Madiri Kozhuthur who was set up in the streets near Lusail Stadium during the football match. The child sat in the car while scribbling on the mobile phone in his hand and did not open his eyes to the outside world.
In the days that followed, the house and surroundings were filled with the smells of roasting and burning meat. It is true that at least for the time being, the work was done for the two or three that were knocked down that day. Whatever it was, it felt good. In the meantime, one day in the evening, as usual, Bablukuttan, who came back from eating Kadayapam, saw a large cotton ball mixed with black and white in his hand instead of a mobile phone. When you look around, it has movement. It was true that it took time for Ichiri to realize that what was clinging to the young man’s hand with Aruma was just a Shunaka. A.C. After getting out of the car, AC is next to it. Chekan was running to the room with Shwanan. It is true that every dog has a day! However, it turned out to be a mixed bag.
At the time of Achayana, I remembered the lame swans with broken legs, the swans who were hit by a lorry and a bus and were eaten by worms, and the short-lived swanakumaris who made childbirth a daily chore in the empire where pox and the like had not yet come into force. There used to be a chavalipatti in Achayan’s home, which was used to eating only snails and fish. Even though she didn’t want to stand up straight, her name was Rani. Still, because of the charm of the name, day after day and night, when there was a crowd of people on the street and those who were his friends, the subjects including himself wrapped the clean Maharani in a sieve and carried it beyond Katua Ela.
The name of our new guest is a combination of the name of the glorious country, Japan, and another name that doesn’t fit the mouth. Hmm..Remembering…Japanese Chin! Bablukuttan named the offspring Tintumon with Aruma. Then it was named Chappa. However, there is a sense of relief. Tintumon’s bark is hardly heard outside. It is doubtful whether it can be called a dog, which is always thinking about something. The truth is that it took four or five days for Achayan, who had lost his sense of space after hearing the price of Shunakan, who jumped out amid the heroics and speeches of Tresa, who was in front of the hungry diners in Daghepalli! If it is small, it is not placed on the ground with the new incarnation. What can be said other than the meeting of each birth.
Week one is over. Sometimes you can hear whispering between the son and his better half. It was not without feeling that something was wrong. ‘Maunam Vidwan Bhushanam’ is Eliamma’s admonition before closing her eyes. That truth jumped out of Bubblekuttan’s mouth at two o’clock. Return journey is next Sunday. Since it’s Christmas and New Year, the prices of flight tickets are on fire now. It is up to thirty thousand per person. Say what!
The next confirmation came when the workers inquired about their father’s future. Dad will be taken after Bablukutan’s board exam. Achat!
Bablukuttan then said when he remembered each one. This time he is taking Tintumon with him. On the same plane. It is not necessary to airlift dogs from every airport. So till Ernakulam in an air-conditioned car. From there AC in the train. Compartment to Bangalore. That’s where Tintumon in Kanchanakoot flies to Qatar with his happy family sitting next to him!
Despite being against conscience, it had to be taken from Kochan in the end. I heard that the price of Shunakan’s seat is two lakhs, including father and mother! But that is not the problem for the boy. Once in Qatar, Tintumo is quarantined for a week! Chekan didn’t cry when he said that. In any case, Shwanan crossed the sea with a birth certificate certifying that he was born on his own.
**** ****
Varithachayaan is now watching the happy moments of Tintumonekanda Bablukuttan who came to the flat after quarantine with the help of a family member from Dhagepally on his mobile phone. I didn’t know how much time had passed. Ittichen came to the side with tablets of stable sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure. After pouring them into his mouth and drinking the green water of the nearby mountain, Achayan drew a cross and prayed.
Valkasnam:- Achayani is now inside the Boeing plane of Qatar Airways which is soaring through the blue sky above the silver clouds. Achayan saw the queen with a shudder inwardly at the boring length of empty skyscapes seen through the window. That old queen, who was carried by the tiger beyond the cardamom, wrapped in a rotten sieve, because of the disturbance of the wild dogs!
