ADAMINTE MAKAN ABU:


Pain Of an Unfulfilled  Dream
In the ecstasy when getting Haj Passport 













‘Small is beautiful”  E.F.Schumacher said it in economic perspective.                       
But Small dreams about small things  are often, I feel, a great and beautiful thing.
Just after watched the movie “Adaminte Makan” I thought so.
 I could realized a sense of passion of an ingenuous, poor, country fellow man about his utmost aim in his life, that to perform a halal Haj without any obligation to others.
Sometimes, it is not so relevant to us, considering our modern life of facilities and amenities. We may think whether it is so difficult to perform a Haj in this time of globalization.
This film brings us into the emotions and ambition of a deprived and pious person who does not curse his poverty. He is an embodiment of nobility. To full fill his ambition he started to accumulate money from his livelihood. He knows only to sell scent (attarwala)  He couldn’t get any help from his grown up son who is in Gulf country  and ashamed of his father. 
It is really touching; the director Salim Ahammed shows us so many obstacles happened in the path of Abu’s ambition.  You will burst out  in a single shot, that his wife compelled him to sell their cow &calf to mobilize ticket amount even she is very fond of them.  He also dared with hidden pain to cut off a jack fruit tree from his 5 cent house plot.  Finally he showed his maturity and console his wife when he know he could not full fill his ambition, but really,  as viewer  our heart will pain  on him long time.
The beauty of undeveloped northern village of Kerala (I think it is interior of Mattanur)
 is splendid through out the movie.
Salim Kumar, who plays Abu, an honest 75 year old scent merchant who lives with his wife Ayisumma (Zareena Wahab) amazes you with his incredible acting Realy he lived as Abu absorbing all feelings.. It’s indeed heartening that the national and state awards juries chose him for the best actor award for his splendid performance.

 The director, pours his heart and soul into the film and the honesty with which he has approached the film is there to be seen in every frame. The film glorify essence of Islam and Haj through innocent beliver. That is the greatness of this film. I suggest all Muslims will encourage this film showing all Madrassa Muallims and students in Kerala.

 Every actor in the film has done their role excellently. From Zareena Wahab, Nedumudi Venu, Mukesh, Kalabhavan Mani, Suraj Venjarammoodu, to those who have appeared in a scene or two, leaves lasting impressions in the viewer’s mind.

 It’s perhaps an once-in-a-lifetime role for Salim Kumar and he gives subtle acting an altogether different meaning. He is just outstanding and his performance has been easily the best by any actor in Malayalam.
 There are a few situations intended to give a ‘classy feel’ like the character of Ustaad and his disciple, Hyder and also some characters which may have been used for an effect, like a Christian wood trader and a Hindu teacher who shows amazing compassion and support for the old man during some crisis moments. But then, all that acts in a positive way for this noble film.
 Adaminte Makan Abu has done proud for Malayalam and will find its place among the most powerful films ever made in Malayalam. As a viewer, the easiest way to appreciate this gem is to watch it at the theatre,. Don’t miss this one, it’s a must watch.

Waiting response,
wahab, Payyoli

A Mangostian Idea

ഇതു മധുരിക്കും മാമ്പഴക്കാലം






ഭാരത മെന്നു കേട്ടാല്‍ 
അഭിമാനപൂരിതമാകണം അന്തരംഗം
കേരളമെന്നു  കേട്ടാലോ
തിളക്കണം ചോര ഞരമ്പുകളിൽ !
മാമ്പഴമെന്ന് കേട്ടാലോ, 
ഊറണം വെള്ളം നാവുകളില്‍ !
                            
( മഹാ കവി വള്ളത്തോള്‍ +വഹാബ് )
കേരളത്തില്‍  ഇതു മാമ്പഴക്കാലം , എന്നാല്‍ ഗൃഹാതുരമായ 
പണ്ടത്തെ  മാവിന്ച്ചുവട്ടിലെ  കളികള്‍  ഇന്നുണ്ടോ?

കേരള വര്‍മ വലിയ കോയി തമ്പുരാന്‍ ആഗ്രഹിച്ചതു കേള്‍ക്കണോ?
     മാവ് മുറ്റത്ത്‌ നിറയെ വേണം                    
  തയ് മാവ് ആവണം 
  നിറയെ കായികള്‍  വേണം 
മൂത്ത്പഴുത്തിരിക്ണം
കുട്ടികള്‍ക്ക് പോലും  കൈയെത്തി 
 പറിക്കാന്‍  കിട്ടണം   ( (മയൂര സന്ദേശം)                            

ഹൈ ടെക്  വീട്ടിനു ചുറ്റും 
ഇന്‍റെര്‍ ലോക്ക് വിരിച്ച മുറ്റത്ത്‌  
എങ്ങിനെ  മാവ് ഉണ്ടാകും ?

എന്നാല്‍  സുഹൃത്തുക്കളെ , കേട്ടുകൊള്‍ക! 
ഈ ഉള്ളവന്‍  ജനവാതില്‍ പഴുതിലൂടെ പഴുത്ത മാങ്ങകള്‍ 
പറിച്ചെടുക്കാന്‍ പറ്റും വിധം  മാവുകള്‍ വളര്‍ത്തി , 
മഹാ കവി കോയി തമ്പുരാന്‍  ആഗ്രഹിച്ചതിലും 
ആപ്പുറം  എത്തിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു ! ആശംസിക്കുക !
  ആശിര്‍വദിക്കുക!!
(സംശയ നിവാരണത്തിന് ഫോട്ടോകള്‍ അന്യത്ര ! )
ആവശ്യക്കാര്‍ക്ക്  കൊറിയര്‍  ആയി അയച്ച്കൊടുക്കും  
-വഹാബ്

PARROT IN THUNJAN PARAMBU WISHES MALAYALAM BLOG WRITERS

Mr Ramanunni Publishing a Blog Book


         






Get-together of  Kerala’s Bloggers  at Thunjan Parambu

 I have got a chance to attend  a unique meeting of  Malayalam bloggers’ . It was wonderful experience when  bloggers from various places in Kerala ,from Kasargd to Parassal and mostly from NRKs,  have  sit together  in Thunjan Parambu , the historical place where  lived and worked Thunjeth Ezhuthachan , father of Mlayalam literature.
Malayalam Blog writings are flourishing in internet and it may be a turning point of transformation for Malayalam literature from conventional book publishing style to e literature. There are so many talented Malayalam writers and artists chose their media internet by Malayalam Blog writing.

Most of the participants said about their freedom of writing in Blog, they need not bother about  seeking publishers and distributors. There also revealed some of  the story of social generosity venture through some blogs.
Among 160 participants, there were much talked Malyalam blog  writers like Kumaran  writer of familiar blog:‘Kumara Sambhavangal”,Manoj Ravindran Blog NIRAKSHARAN),Lathika subash whos dared to contest against Achdanandan is also a prominent blogger ,VK Abdu(Korkarus), Director of Info Madhyamam,Ayishabi (Chattikkari)  etc etc.

 The meeting  got a chance to familiarize each other  who are behind the blogs  and who are sarcastically criticizing behind the curtain of internet.  This get together was joyful  and useful. Blog owner of “ചട്ടിക്കരി " , Ayishabi from Calicut   who never expected more then 50 members, brought with her 50 unakkayi and sammoosa  declared a competition  among members to supply these bites logically.
 Whole members have actively participated  through out 10 to 5 p.m.a resourceful lunch in plantain leaf is remarkable.
Camp has ended with realization that  pen and paper will not have place for  tomorrow’s Malayalm literature , rather it will grow beyond the world through blogs and webs with utmost freedom of writers.
I noticed symbolic parrot in Thunjan Parambu  was wishing with its twitters these Mlayalam Blog writers as the messenger of great  Ezhuthachan who wrote' Mahabharatham Kilippattu' wth iron nail(എഴുത്താണി)) hundred years ago.
