Should we forget these great sons of
Irinjalakuda, in due course of time?
 As
a token of our respect to these great
men of yore, can we not atleast name the
roads/streets after them, lest the
posterity should forget these great sons
of Irinjalakuda, in due course of time?
Can we not bring this feeling of ours to
those concerned with the local
administration?

“Yearning for the Past”
THE
HEALTHCARE
The earliest physician who came to my
memory was the good old Kuttan Menon.
Menon was an Ayurvedic Physician (Vaidyan),
taking care of the health problems of
the members of the families of our
place. Menon used to come from
Nadavarambu in a covered ornamental cart
drawn by a single bull (Otta Kala
Vandi).

THE
TRANSPORT BUSES
 our ancestors felt the need for surface
transport service and were the first in
introducing bus transport in the then
principality. According to the old
timers, late Pichu Iyer (Pichu Swami)
earns the credit for introducing a bus
transport service in Irinjalakuda....

a nostalgic
Koodalmanikyam festival of 1952
ആലോചനാമൃതമായ ഉത്സവം
ടി.വേണുഗോപാല്
 1127-ാം മാണ്ട് അതായത് 1952 മേടമാസം ഉത്രം
നാളില് കൊടിയറി തിരുവോണം നാള് ആറാട്ട്
(1952 മെയ് 6-ാം തിയ്യതി കൊടികയറി 16-ാം
തിയ്യതി ആറാട്ട്) ഉത്സവത്തിന്റെ പ്രധാന
കാര്യദര്ശിയായി ‘മാണിക്യന് കേരളന്’
എന്ന തച്ചുടയ കൈമളും അദ്ദേഹത്തെ
സഹായിക്കുന്നതിന് ദേവസ്വം സൂപ്രണ്ട്
പി.രാമന് പിള്ളയും കൊടിയേറ്റം കഴിഞ്ഞ്
പിറ്റെ ദിവസം കൊടിപ്പുറത്തു വിളക്കുമാത്രമെ
വിര്വഹിക്കുന്നുള്ളു.

 While talking about the grand old native
town of ours, we just cannot afford to
forget the present day’s Municipal
Stadium, then known as Ayyankavu
Padam or Ayyangavu Maithanam.

In view of Dr Tharoor’s last
controversy, the Indian Premier League
is now called as“ the Indian Political
League” !!!!!
 The
Congress High Command may now be
feeling that they made a mistake in
nominating him at Trivandum and could
have given the seat to Mr Tom Vadakkan,
Secretary and its one of spokesmen who
would have done a better job. ( I am
sorry Dr Sukumaran Azhicode may not like
this because “ Tom Vadakkan “ does not
speak decent
Malayalam !! ).

Radio in the Municipal Park
 I
recently read a news item from
Irinjalakuda on the “switch-on” function
of the radio in the Municipal Park by
Municipal Chairman Jackson in presence
of Satish Puliath and Jose Katla. This
news item touched my heart and took me
to the yester years when the radio in
the Municipal Park was functional. I
believe majority of the current
population in Irinjalakuda can not
relate to the importance of such an
“insignificant event”.

AMMA vs. THILAKAN
, the great “ Perundachan” of the
Malayalam Cinema
Thilakan is old but he has not become
senile. There may be future actors who
could replace today’s superstars but it
will be difficult to replace an
irreplaceable like Thilakan in the near
future. AMMA has appointed a “
Disciplinary Committee “ to solve the
issues and it is headed by Innocent who
does not have an impartial view and
talks and behaves with certain
pre-conceived notions. The others
include T P Madhavan and Edavela Babu,
as compared to Perundachan, are the
plants born with yesterday’s rains !!
