Kottakkal Shivaraman Passed away


Well known Kathakali Artiste "Kottakkal Sivaraman"(74) passed away at his house in Karalmanna late Monday night.

The 1936-born Sivaraman, a disciple of his uncle-guru Padma Shri Vazhenkada Kunchu Nair at the PSV Natyasangham in Kottakkal in north-central Kerala's Malappuram district, decided to change all this subordination. By the 1960s, he had experimented those ideas on stage with success, much to the appreciation of aesthetes not only in his native Valluvanad, an erstwhile central-Kerala fiefdom which has been the homestead for the refined Kalluvazhi style of Kathakali, but across Kerala and subsequently the rest of the world. His Karalmanna village, north of Cherpulassery, in Palakkad district thus further affixed its name on the Kathakali map.

He was famous for his female roles in Kathakali like Dhamayanthy, Sairandhri, Rugmini etc. For these roles he was given the ‘Sthree Retnam’ award by Kerala Government recently.

Flat Tire Puncture and Insurance on Rental vehicles in USA

Recently I had a bad experience with the rental car. I have taken a rental car for a week. I have taken it through the Priceline and also taken insurane.

I drove the car for 4 days with out any problem. on the fifth day the Tire got Flat Tire (Punctured). I have contacted the Rental car company and they informed me that they are not responsible for the Tire. That is our responsibility to give them back in good condition.

I went to the Tire company and enquired for the tire repair. They told that I have to replace the car. Finally I have replaced the car with brand New Tire. I lost $180 for the replace of the tire.

Out of this I learned a lesson that we have to take Insurance and Road Side Assistance from the Rental Company.
