Charede Ormakurippukal

Manjeri vacations...achan  & amma used to come to drop us when we were kids.as soon as we get down at aspatripadi straight to Muthashan's  dispensary!!I used to climb the steps and run ahead to hear muthashan " aa appa vannuvo?" all the patients will look at me and I sued to feel very pround..in the limelight ;-)!! then off compounder(was it haridas those days -don't remember) goes for mittai...a handful in newspaper..even the Cadbury's silk wouldn't stand near those mittais..may be sneham nirachathide vityasam ..

then its two months of carefree enjoyment..pippi was there at my command :)..I could boss around and valiyamma would entertain any of my requests...

muthashan's daily dose of mookkupodi, feredol,.....its coming in bits and pieces..

I still remember choriyanpuzhu's coming spiralling down from the thattu outside..I used to stand and watch in amazement how they manage their way down a thin line and invariably get one on my face, body and then valiyamma's venna prayogum..even those itches were all part of the happiness we had...

muthashan's prayers were also very fascinating for me...never any of the formal stuff other than daily routine of namam chellal at the small poojakoodu ..well, he truely understood work as his worship....

Appuettante (Valya Appu) Ormakal

I have had only a few instances meeting Muthassan. I always remember the Big Smile that was always there in his face when i use to see him and some common enquiries like "how is my father? , Did you have food?"etc.

But we are really lucky to have Muthassan's 'Sathabishekam' and my marriage on the same day. I still remember Muthassan comming to see our (me & Suppu) 'Thalikettu' at Thirumandamkunnu temple  carried up in a chair by Jayettan & Party , with a lot of enthusiasm.

I always admire him as  a very good person and a Role model to follow!
