നെയ്പായസം


സ്നേഹത്തിന്‍റെ തീര്തടാനങ്ങള്‍ ആകുന്നു മാധവികുട്ടിയുടെ കഥകള്‍. സ്നേഹസായൂജ്യതിലൂടെയും സ്നേഹ രാഹിത്യത്തിലൂടെയും അവ ആവിഷ്കാരങ്ങള്‍ തേടുന്നു. അച്ഛനും അമ്മയും മക്കളും ഭാര്യയും ഭര്‍ത്താവും കാമുകനും കാമുകിയും സ്നേഹത്തിന്‍റെ നാനാര്‍തഥങ്ങളിലൂടെ കടന്നു പോകുന്നു. അങ്ങനെയാണ് നെയ്പായസം സ്നേഹത്തിന്‍റെ പ്രതീകമായ ഒരു കാവ്യമായി മാറുന്നത്. അമ്മയുടെ മരണം അറിയാതെ അമ്മയുണ്ടാക്കിയ നെയ്പായസതിന്‍െറ രുചി ആസ്വദിക്കുന്ന കുരുന്നിന്റെ മുന്നില്‍ പകച്ചു നില്ക്കുന്ന അച്ഛന്റെ നിസ്സഹായ അവസ്ഥ വളരെ മനോഹരമായി ഈ കഥയില്‍ ആവിഷ്ക്കരിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. മാധവിക്കുട്ടി പറയുന്നു അമ്മ മരിക്കുന്നത് കുട്ടിയുടെ മുഖം ഓര്ത്തു കൊണ്ടാണ്. അവസാനത്തെ ഓര്മ സ്നേത്തിന്റെത്‌ആയിരിക്കും . സ്നേഹമില്ലാതെ എനിക്ക് കവിതയില്ല സ്നേഹം നഷ്ട്ടപെട്ട ജീവിതങ്ങള്‍ ഇലയും ശിഖരവും നഷ്ട്ടപ്പെട്ട മരങ്ങള്‍ മാത്രമാണ്.

ചെ.....

ഏണസ്ട്ടോ ഗവേ ആദരവോടെ ആളുകള്‍ അദ്ധേഹത്തെ ചെ എന്ന് വിളിച്ചു. സ്പാനിഷ് ഭാഷയില്‍ അത്ഭുതം ധ്വനിപിക്കാന്‍ ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്ന പദമാണ് ചെ. അതെ ചെ ഒരു അത്ഭുതം തന്നെയായിരുന്നു. ലാറ്റിന്‍ അമേരിക്കന്‍ വിപ്ലവത്തിന്റെ തീജ്വാല. കഷ്ട്ടപെടുന്നവരുടെയും അടിമപ്പണി ചെയുന്നവരുടെയും മോചനത്തിനായി ജനങ്ങളെ സംഘടിപ്പിച്ചു. ഒടുവില്‍ മുപ്പത്തി ഒമ്പതാം വയസില്‍ ബൊളിവിയന്‍ ആര്‍മിയുടെ മുന്നില്‍ ആ ജ്വാല അവസാനിച്ചു.

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer and businessman. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he made his debut on the professional music scene in 1968 as a member of The Jackson Five. He then began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group and was referred to as the "king of pop"in subsequent years. Jackson's 1982 album Thriller remains the worlds largest selling album of all the time, and four of his other solo studio albums are among the world's best-selling records: Off thw wall(1979), Bad(1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory(1995).
In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and "Thriller"—widely credited with transforming the music video from a promotional tool into an art form—helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced many hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists across several generations.
Jackson donated and raised millions of dollars for beneficial causes through his foundatios, charity singles, and support of 39 charities. Other aspects of his personal life, including his often changing appearances and eccentric behavior, generated significant controversy which damaged his public image. Though he was accused of child sexual abuse in 1993 the criminal investigation was closed due to lack of evidence and Jackson was not charged. The singer had experienced health concerns since the early 1990s along with conflicting reports regarding the state of his finances since the late 1990s. Jackson married twice and fathered three children, actions which caused further controversy. In 2005, Jackson was tried and acquitted of further sexual abuse allegations and several other charges.
One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records—including one for "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time"—13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career, and the sale of 750 million records worldwide. At the time of his death, he was preparing for This Is It, a series of 50 concerts that would have been held at the O2 Arena in London at the beginning of July 13, 2009.

  • Maybe.. .. we were supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
  • Maybe .. . . it is true that we don'tknow what we have until we lose it,but it is also true that we don't knowwhat we have been missing until itarrives.
  • Maybe .. . you should hope for enoughhappiness to make you sweet, enoughtrials to make you strong, enoughsorrow to keep you human, and enoughhope to make you happy .
  • Maybe .. . . the happiest of peopledon't necessarily have the best ofeverything; they just make the most ofeverything that comes along their way.
  • Maybe .. . . the best kind of friend isthe kind you can sit on a porch andswing with, never say a word, and thenwalk away feeling like it was the bestconversation you've ever had.
  • Maybe .. . . happiness waits for allthose who cry, all those who hurt, allthose who have searched, and all thosewho have tried, for only they canappreciate the importance of all thepeople who have touched their loves.
  • May be . . you should do something nicefor someone every single day, even ifit is simply to leave them alone.
  • Maybe .. . . there are moments in lifewhen you miss someone -- a parent, aspouse, a friend, a child -- so muchthat you just want to pick them fromyour dreams and hug them for real, sothat once they are around youappreciate them more.
  • Maybe … giving someone all your loveis never an assurance that they willlove you back. Don't expect love inreturn; just wait for it to grow intheir heart; but, if it doesn't, becontent that it grew in yours.
  • Maybe . . . you should dream what youwant to dream; go where you want togo, be what you want to be, becauseyou have only one life and one chanceto do all the things you dream of, andwant to do .

Invisible? ......

God So Loved

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:5)

Christianity is distinguished from all the religions of the world because of the experience of being born again. This is what makes Christianity completely different from any religion. Various explanations of the expression "born again" have been offered over the years from various sources, sometimes leaving an individual confused as to what Jesus could possibly have meant. In the Bible, God tells us, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:8-9). In this little booklet, the author discusses the concept of being born again, offering not his own thoughts and ideas but the Bible's explanation.


For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

Is there anyone in the western world who is not familiar with this verse? We see it on church billboards, in sporting events, on tracts, and on posters, in the cities, in country villages, on buses and trains, we hear it on the radio, on TV... These words have become so prevalent in our era that few people stop to think about the message they contain. Three words from this verse form the title of this little booklet in which the gospel, pure and simple, is the theme. The author draws on numerous other references in the Bible to present God's message clearly and from several different angles. There is no need or attempt to explain or excuse; God So Loved is merely a signpost indicating the direction in which to go in order to discover this ultimate truth.

ആലാഹയുടെ പെണ്മക്കള്‍

സാറ ജോസഫിന്‍റെ ഈ നോവല്‍ ഒരു ചെറിയ കുടുംബത്തിന്‍റെ ജീവിതത്തിലൂടെ
ഒരു വലിയ സമൂഹം അനുഭവിക്കുന്ന കഷ്ടപ്പാടിന്‍റെയും സങ്കടങ്ങളുടെയും കഥ പറയുന്നു. നോവലിലെ കേന്ദ്ര കഥാപാത്രമായ ആനിയും അവളുടെ അമ്മാമയും തമ്മിലുള്ള ആത്മ ബന്ധം വളരെ മനോഹരമായി തന്നെ ഈ നോവലില്‍ പറയുന്നുണ്ട് .
