Octogenarian’s memories
Some months back, during one of Paul’s trips to Gurgaon he suggested that I write some biographical notes so that he, and possible the grand children, may know more about me, my past, and perhaps the family history too.
Indeed he has acquired a certain amount of knowledge as a result of our periodical visits to Kerala and the relatives living there now or those ho lived there in the past.But to write a biography as such was considered by me out of reach, because in my view, there was nothing spectacular to write about.
Paul persists.So I think I may record some of my memories of the child hood and thereafter.
My birth in the middle of the first month of the Malayalam Era about eighty three years ago, i.e. 18th Chingam, 1102 M.E. (03.09.1926) was at a period of extreme difficulties in the life of the people in general.The above date is recorded in a diary that was very meticulously kept by my late father Kochuthommen.It was also the period of the ‘great depression’.The house in which I was born was not very big.It was built more than a couple of centuries ago.It had wooden wall facing the Meenachil river flowing on the northern side.There w

60 YEARS OF DESHABHIMANI
Struggle, Survival And Surging Ahead
P Karunakaran
DESHABHIMANI, organ of the CPI(M) in Kerala, completed 60 years of its life on September 6. With its humble but hopeful beginning on September 6, 1942, it fulfilled a need of those turbulent days of our freedom movement. Its beginning was a culmination point of the hopes and aspirations of millions of the oppressed, repressed and suppressed toiling masses. The path it traversed was thorny. Often it faced brickbats from the authorities and adversaries, receiving at the same time bouquets from the masses. The paper’s onward march from a weekly to a full-fledged morning daily with six editions plus an internet edition, from a double dummy cylinder to the state-of-the-art equipment with fully computerised infrastructure is a stirring experience.
