Sukumar Azhikode passes away


THRISSUR: Sukumar Azhikode, the legendary literary and social activist of Kerala passed away on Tuesday morning. He was 85. Azhikkode was admitted to the Amala hospital near here with symptoms of fast spreading cancer on December 10 last and he was on palliative treatment since then. His condition had turned critical on Saturday night the end came around 6am.

Azhikode was a towering presence for about six decades in Kerala's literary and social spheres through his interventions as a powerful, erudite and charismatic orator and versatile writer. He had remarkable command over Sanskrit, Malayalam, and English languages and had deeply internalized the classical traditions of all the three languages. He had acquired in depth knowledge of Indian philosophy, ethics and mythology and had made extensive explorations into Western philosophies, particularly into their humanistic sources. His scholarly and inspiring orations had given him direct access to the masses at levels which even the most popular politician of the state would envy of. His incisive literary critical works occupy prime stature in Kerala's literary lineage.

Azhikode's most famous work Tathvamasi (Malayalam) published in 1984, is an authoritative book on Indian Philosophy, Vedas and Upanishads. Thathvamasi has won twelve awards including the Central Sahithya Akademi Award, Kerala Sahithya Akademi Award and the Rajaji Award. He had won Ezhuthachan Puraskaram - the highest literary award instituted by the State Government in 2004.In Jan 2007, he refused to accept the Padma Shri conferred on him stating that Such honours are against the spirit of Constitution which insists on equality of all citizens and vehemently opposes any form of discrimination.

Azhikode who began his career as a teacher had later become the Pro Vice Chancellor of Calicut University. He was also the Chairman of the National Book Trust between 1993 and 1996.

The war of words between Malayalam film star Mohanlal and Azhikode had drawn attention even at the national level in the recent month. But curtains came down on this when both decided to patch up when Azhikode was in hospital bed.

Apart from Tatvamasi, the important works of Dr Sukumar Azhikode are Malayala sahitya patanangal, Vayanayude swargattil, Mahatmavinte margam, Aasante seetakavyam, Malayala sahityavimarsanam, Mahakavi ulloor, Pathakal Kazhchakal, Guruvinte dukham, and Azhikodinte prabhashanangal.

Azhikode who was moulded by the ethos Freedom Struggle and Gandhian values was a strong Congressman in his early days. But towards the end he was seen more close to the Left leaders. Numerous prominent personalities from various walks of life including Defence Minister A K Antony, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, Leader of Opposition V S Achuthanandan, cine stars like Mamootty and Innocent, writers ONV Kurup and M T Vasudevan Nair and community leaders like Vellappilli Nateshan and Bishop Andrews Thanzhath had visited him at his hospital days earlier.

Week end Trip to Jaipur


The chilling cold in Gurgaon made me to think going out to some less cold places on week end. The research in google and with friends gave me the location Jaipur.  Jaipur popularly known as the Pink City, is the capital and largest city of the Indian state of Rajasthan.

Early morning we started from Gurgaon. It was less foggy in the morning. Driving in Indian roads is interesting and it is like playing a puzzle game. The trucks were almost everywhere in the highway. NH 8 is one of the best roads in India. The Road work is going on for better tomorrow.

Amber Fort

Amer Fort , also spelled and pronounced as Amber Fort is located in Amer from Jaipur, Rajasthan state, India. It is one of the principal tourist attractions in the Jaipur area, located high on a hill.Amer Fort was made by Meenas king Raja Alan Singh Chanda later occupied by Kachhawa rajput .

Amer Fort is known for its artistic style, blending both Hindu Rajput elements. The fort with its large ramparts, series of gates and cobbled paths, overlooks the Maota Lake, at its forefront.


Jaigarh Fort

Jaigarh Fort is situated on the premonitory called the Cheel ka Teela (Hill of Eagles) of the Aravalli hill ranges; it overlooks the Amber Fort and the Moata Lake, near Amber in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. The fort was built by Sawai Jai Singh III in 1726 to protect the Amer Fort and the palace complex within it and was named after Jai Singh II.


The fort, rugged and similar in structural design to the Amber Fort, is also known as Victory Fort. It has a length of 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) along the north-south direction and a width of 1 kilometre (0.62 mi). The fort features a cannon named “Jaivana”, which was manufactured in the fort precincts and was then the world's largest cannon on wheels.The palace complex (Laxmi Vilas, Lalit Mandir, Vilas Mandir and Aram Mandir) located within the fort has a well-tended garden where the royal family resided, the Shubhat Niwas (an assembly hall of the warriors), an armoury and a museum.Jaigarh Fort and Amber Fort are connected by subterranean passages and considered as one complex.

Hawa Mahal

Hawa Mahal, is a palace in Jaipur, India. It was built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, and designed by Lal Chand Ustad in the form of the crown of Krishna, the Hindu god. Its unique five-storey exterior is also akin to the honeycomb of the beehive with its 953 small windows called jharokhas that are decorated with intricate latticework. The original intention of the lattice was to allow royal ladies to observe everyday life in the street below without being seen, since they had to observe strict "purdah" (face cover).

Jantar Mantar

The Jantar Mantar is a collection of architectural astronomical instruments, built by Maharaja (King) Jai Singh II at his then new capital of Jaipur between 1727 and 1734. It is modeled after the one that he had built for him at the Mughal capital of Delhi. He had constructed a total of five such facilities at different locations, including the ones at Delhi and Jaipur. The Jaipur observatory is the largest and best preserved of these. It has been inscribed on the World Heritage List as "an expression of the astronomical skills and cosmological concepts of the court of a scholarly prince at the end of the Mughal period".Early restoration work was undertaken under the supervision of Major Arthur Garrett, a keen amateur astronomer, during his appointment as Assistant State Engineer for the Jaipur District

City palace


City Palace, Jaipur, which includes the Chandra Mahal and Mubarak Mahal palaces and other buildings, is a palace complex in Jaipur, the capital of the Rajasthan state, India. It was the seat of the Maharaja of Jaipur, the head of the Kachwaha Rajput clan. The Chandra Mahal palace now houses a museum but the greatest part of it is still a royal residence.

Mohanlal-Azheekode Issue Solved

Mohanlal - Azheekode issue is solved. A Malayalam news paper reported this. Earlier this was a most discussed issue in Malayalam Cine world. Issue was started when Azheekode commented on Thilakan issue and then Mohanlal also commented.

Is Mullapperiyar an Issue?

Nowadays the Medias of both Kerala and Tamilnadu is behind the Mullaperiyar issue. Actually what is Mullaperiyar issue? Why this issue is much discussed?
Mullaperiyar Dam is a masonry gravity dam on the Periyar River. It is located 881 m (2,890 ft) above mean sea level on the Cardamom Hills of the Western Ghats in Thekkady, Idukki District of Kerala, South India. It was constructed between 1887 and 1895 by the British Government to divert water eastwards to Madras Presidency area (the present-day Tamil Nadu). It has a height of 53.6 m (176 ft) from the foundation and length of 365.7 m (1,200 ft). The Periyar National Park in Thekkady is located around the dam's reservoir. The dam and the river are owned by and located in Kerala but the dam is controlled and operated under a period lease by neighboring Tamil Nadu state. The safety of the dam has been a matter of concern. Control and safety of the dam and validity and fairness of the lease agreement have been points of dispute between Kerala and Tamil Nadu states. The dam is an 'endangered' scheduled dam under the Kerala Irrigation and Water Conservation (Amendment) Act, 2006.
The people of Kerala and Tamilnadu lived in harmony till now. But this issue made people to think in a different way. It is not very easy to break the relation between Kerala and Tamilnadu. The commercial relation is very strong between two states. Also Famous religious places are located in both states.

The new development affected the people of both states. The political parties and the organizations are protesting from each side. Both sides have their own reasons for doing it. Safety is important for Kerala side while water is necessary for Tamil farmers to live.

Actually who is benefitting out of this issue? Or who are suffering? or who are behind this whole issue?

Arakkuparamba - Malappuram

Arakkuparamba is a village in Malappuram district in the state of Kerala, India.

As the name ( Arakku = iron core, paramaba = land) says, the place was once famous for mining iron ore. Arakkuparamba and Aliparamba are neighbouring places. The iron ore mined from Arakkuparamba was converted into iron plates and rods at Aliparamba. Ore melting technology was known to the ancient inhabitants. Ayirumada (or iron ore mining places) can still be seen there.

This place was under the control of Chera Kings and was under the Nedunganad Principality. The Zamoothiri of Calicut defeated Nedungadees of Nedunganad and brought this place under their control.

Remnants of ancient temples are seen at different places. With the help of local people, these temples are being renovated.
