A dream come true with Leaderji

Sunday Sept,19th was a day of fulfillment of a wish of mine, My frnd Adv.Vishnu Sankar and myself visited Veteran Congress Leader.Shri. K.Karunkaran and got the blessings of the Political Saint

For me I have told it was a day of fulfillment, because it was in 1992 that my father authored the biography of Leader titled 'K.Karunakaran' and it was the first biography of Leaderji, The book was appreciated by the Literary world and acclaimed a wide readership among masses. My father though a leftist took a painstaking effort in writing the book, Literary Magnate Dr.Sooranad Kunjan Pillai in his foreword to the book stated that the book is not only the biography of Karunakaran but can also be regarded as the contemporary Political history of Kerala.

Coming to story, Leader's wife Late.Kalyanikutty Amma use to sent new clothes for my bday in my younger days and in 1992 when the book was released by Leader himself( That also created history) in Ramanilayam Guest house, Thrissur after seeking the blessings of Guruvayur appan, I was in another car, and thus we were denied entry to the hall due to security reasons as he was the CM of the state. I was very unhappy and we returned back to Andhra where my father was assigned with another work, My father was very close with Industrialist Mr.Y.S.Raja Reddy, father of Late. Y.S.Rajasekhara Reddy, Ex CM of Andhra Pradesh, I accompanied my father to his home to give a copy of the book. he asked my father why this man( refers to me) is pale , what happened my dear? I narrated the incident. But to my surprise He arranged a public meeting in the same evening in Kodur inviting MP's MLA's and Political Leaders and re released the Book of Shri Karunakaran once again by receiving a copy from me and announced that Leader is leader for Andhra Pradesh too as his Biography has been written by my father.

After coming to Kerala I could see Leaderji ample of times and yesterday I could seek the blessings of India's Greatest Leader Shri. Karunakaran and I am happy that Leader has consented to release my book on the reminiscences on my father.

A new comer

I am new to this world, I mean to the world of blogging. It was a long cherished one of mine to write something here. This world was first introduced to me by my frnd Mr.Rahul, who is a blogger with a lot of readership. But what to write was the unanswerable question. I started thinking what must I scribe, the thinking went for about 3 years and I couldn't find an answer to satisfy myself. 

I started traveling from my younger days. traveling with my father, who was an illustrious gentleman, describing my father will not be much easy. I have limited literature and my words wont be enough to sketch a person like him.  He taught me cultures, histories, stories of great people, as he himself was a great biographer, A son born to my father in his 50th year was I, hence he loved me, than anything in this word. He gave me a great name Sanakan, which comes from the Hindu Purana, there was a great maharshi, who was always filled with hunger and anger. But till his last breath he never called me in that name rather called me in another name which I feel is almost dead now as there is no one else to call me that sweetly. The pet name was his grandfathers name. I started growing up and he became older and older but his soul and mind was energetic than the Himalayas. He took me where ever he traveled, he taught me to jump into a running bus, detrain and entrain a running train. Nehru was imprisoned and hence he wrote ‘Glimpses of World History’ for his daughter Indira, but I was blessed, my father taught me lively and I started learning Alphabets from this great person. I know that every father in this world loves his children. Everyone in this world has thousand tongues to speak about his parents.  I too have the same. He taught me many hidden secrets and many stories which took place in the Political histories of India and Kerala. I was much acquainted with this subject and showed keen interest. I started sketching people and wrote and prepared profiles on them. My father had written the Biography of Ex Min Shri. R.Balakrishna Pillai in 1984 and when I showed interest to bring out revised edition my great father showered blessings whole heartedly and gifted me a pen to start the work. Now I have completed the work and its in the publishing bed. My father breathed his last in my lap on Dec 25th last year. A day which is unforgettable for me like any son in this world. A day which broke out calmly but the sunset was rude to me by grabbing the breath of my father. He taught me that death is inevitable but the Almighty was rude to me. I can feel my father in every breath which I inhale.

I know I have travelled out of my subject, Here I would sketch people and go through some political investigations and like to draw some views of mine here. I seek the Blessings of my father with folded hands. Bless me… Bless me …. Bless me…
