അരാജകത്വത്തിന്റെ രാജാക്കന്മാര് തങ്ങള്ക്കു പറ്റിയ സിംഹാസനം കണ്ടെത്തുന്നു മരിക്കാന് നേരത്ത്; രാജാവിന്റെ അതെ വേഷത്തില് ഇരുന്നു മറിക്കാന്. തെരുവില് കിടന്നു മരിക്കുന്നതിനു പകരം നമ്മള് അയ്യപ്പനെ ഏതെങ്കിലും വലിയ ആശുപത്രില്യിലെ ഏതെങ്കിലും ഐ. c. യു . വില് ഒക്സിജെന് മാസ്കിടിച് തുളകളായ തുളകളിലൂടെ എല്ലാം കുഴല്ഇട്ട് കിടത്തിയാണ് മരിപ്പിചിരുന്നതെങ്കില്, മരണം പോലും നാണിച്ചു പോകുമായിരുന്നു. സ്വസ്ഥമായ മരണം അനുവതിക്കതിരുന്നതിനു, അവിടെ കിടന്നു തന്നെ നമ്മെ തെറി പറഞ്ഞ ഒരു കവിത എഴുതിയിട്ടേ അയ്യപ്പന് മരണം വരിക്കുമായിരുന്നുള്ളൂ.
മരണത്തെ ഇത്രത്തോളം ആക്ഹോഷിക്കുന്ന ഒരു കൂട്ടര് നമ്മളായിരിക്കണം. മലയാള പത്രങ്ങളിലെ മരണ പേജ് കാണാനിടയായ ഒരു അറബി സുഹൃത്ത് അതിശയപ്പെട്ടതോര്മ വരുന്നു. അവരുടെ നാട്ടില് ഭരണതിപന് മരിച്ചാല് പോലും, മിക്കവാറും അത് ഹോസ്പിറ്റലില് ആയിരിക്കും, നേരെ മൃതദേഹം വീട്ടിലേക്കു പോലുമെടുക്കാതെ ഖബര്സ്ഥനിലെക്ക് എടുക്കുന്നതാണ് പതിവ്. പത്രത്തില് ഒരു ചെറിയ വാര്ത്ത ഉണ്ടാവും. അത്ര തന്നെ.
ഏതായാലും ഇനി നമുക്ക് അയ്യപ്പ ഭജന തുടങ്ങാം; നമ്മളൊന്നും മരിക്കാന് ഉള്ളവരല്ല എന്ന ഉറച്ച വിശ്വാസത്തില്.

Montachchan
Enikkorachchanund, though we are not biologically bound. Ennu vechchal enne 'moneee' ennu vilikkunna oraal. Ayaale njan achcha ennum vilikkunu. Achchanaarennu pinne parayam. Achchante kayyil chila kuruthakkedukalund. Athinal ee makan kurachangupadeshikkamennu vechu. Thazhe kazhinja divasam kodutha upadesha prasangam:
Bisaayam: Pukavali (Achchante aathma suhrthaanu pukakkuzhal. Koode kazhikkunna 'kashaayam' nirthi ennu parayunnu. Padachavanariyam)
Achchanse,
You have to say 'GET LOST' to that smoky friend of yours, else he will make you fried soon.
Just imagine, how ridiculous a feeling it would have been for God to watch his clay-creature He name human, meticulously observing things and finally 'invent' a pipe kind of thing and put some 'chammala' (We valluvanadans calls dried leaves so) into the farthest tip of it and ignite to vigorously suck the smoke passing out, from the other end. If I were that God, I would have kicked his ass then and there only and that bag of flesh would have flown to outer space like an 'ulka-yagnik'. ammmaaaaaa.........
Now that was just thamasha. But the truth is, vaayu is praan; praan is jeevan, jeevante nidanam, udbhavam; that jeevan itself, ananthamaya jeevan; ath deivam aanu. And, when inhaling God itself into us, how we humans can do such a funny thing?! We are so apathetic or antipathic to nature.
Think, if you are forcibly kept in one room without ventilation and someone puts thick clouds of smoke of your favourite brand of cigar/cigarette/beedi into it? You are dead dad, within minutes. Don't forget, you are breathing in nothing but the eternal Brahma, so don't be so negligent and arrogant about HIM, for HE can be arrogant with you too, sometime.
Say thanks to God for this moments and just inhale lungful of fresh air like Ramdev Baba showed you a million times.......
That's all for now dad
Habeeb
Note(note for my achchan): Ente achchan oru great musician aanu. He lives in Delhi
Bisaayam: Pukavali (Achchante aathma suhrthaanu pukakkuzhal. Koode kazhikkunna 'kashaayam' nirthi ennu parayunnu. Padachavanariyam)

IRTC
This is my first time in blog writing- sorry, typing (writing is so old fashioned).
I am now in IRTC. Guess what this IRTC is. hmmm....Indian Rural, no, Romantic, Trainers Club? Oh, no dear. It is Internationally Recommended Transit Corridor. Who recommended it? We the sailor's community? No, by IMO. Again another abbreviation! International Maritime Organisation. Why this corridor in sea? How can you.....?
On my vessel's right it is Ethiopia, and on my left there lies Yemen. I stand right in the middle of Gulf of Aden. Here, you must have heard ships being hijacked by pirates and kept under their custody for months together. The drama will end when high level negotiators finalise the amount to be given to release the ship. (I have started secretly dreaming of becoming a negotiator for them; they must be fetching good sums!)
Heard that there are around eight ships in their custody now along with crew.
We entered into corridor early this morning 6'O Clock. But yesterday evening 6'O clock, while we were passing Bab-el Mandap (the entry into Gulf of Aden from Red Sea-just may be 12 miles wide) we could see one small boat carrying four men speeding towards our ship. Njangaletha viruthanmaar! We had hired one armed vessel of 22m length with five gunmen to take us through this area. Randu vedi pottichathode avanmaar parannu.
Hope to finish the corridor by day after.
Now, there are around 8 ships going as a fleet along with Indian Navy vessel and Coalition forces vessel. They are just behind us.
Anyway, all the best to us to cross this seas and be there at Dubai by first of March
