Aami Page #4

---

I only know the mother of my three kids,

Aami, from Nalappat,.

Is Madhavikkutty here?

- Who is it?

You won't know

I am a school teacher from the South..

Can I meet her'?

I am Sudhakaran, a Mathematics

teacher in a government school

This is my wife, also

mother of my two kids

She teaches Malayalam

in the same school

Her name.. you need not know that.

Before 'My Story' came out,

She never wore ornaments.

She was an ordinary honourable housewife,

obedient and demure..

Now look at her!

A big bindi.. and ornaments all over!

Just like you!

More times than she read Ramayana!

She says she is an

object of lust for me!

You are mad!

Now my wife too got infected with it

Come!

Hey!

I am so happy to see you in person!

It is not mere admiration"

In my thought and mind,

I too am a Madhavikkutty!

In both of us, there is a woman

who yearns for love all the time..

So, we will go in search of a man

who can give us love, isn't it?

After all this,

why haven't you left Dasettan yet?

After what all?

Who told you I wanted

to leave my Dasettan?

I am not just writing life

Here comes an admirer!

Go home and burn 'My Story'

You teach Malayalam

in school, isn't it?

Go to school and teach the kids

The poetry of Ezhuthachan and Asan..

Moving between various cities,

wherever Dasettan was transferred,

like Bombay, Calcutta,

Delhi and Colombo..

I spent a long period

of my life and writing

In the early 80s, when Dasettan retired,

we shifted to Thiruvananthapuram.

Shod u, you want coffee?

- No, mom.

Once it is ok,

Book trunk calls to Chin nu and Monu

Till then, let the books be here..

The room upstairs is

ideal for you to write..

If you open the windows, there is wind..

Not only that, in Thiruvananthapuram

You will have a lot of visitors.

Come down only if it

is really urgent.

I'm not going to write

stories anyway!

If you sit doing nothing,

you'll grow old fast.

Am I not old now?

We are still 20 years apart"

That has not reduced..

Rest of our lives,

I'll be your guard"

Let history record Madhavadas'

retired life that way..

Go.

We are from Cotton Hill School

We read that you've moved

to Thiruvananthapuram

The students wanted

to meet you..

So you teachers didn't want it?

No, we too wanted"

Please come for our

School Day for a speech.

Oh, no! I've just come here..

I am not ready for it now.

Madam, please.

It's a great desire of ours..

But have any of you

read my stories?

I have"

'The Ghee sweet dish'..

Then, 'The Smell of Bird'..

I have read 'Raja's Love'..

When I took 'My Story' from our library

Miss took it back saying

it was not for kids..

They are small kids, 50M]

Then why did you buy it for your library,

I am a farmer, in Wayanad..

After MA, she wanted to study journalism

So, I enrolled her here..

Not that I can afford it..

I write a little

Some of my poems have

been published..

My anthology. of 30 poems..

Not mine, you need

god's blessings

I wish you all the best.

Why are you so lean?

Not much..

At this age, girls should eat well..

People say, hunger inspires poetry"

That's nonsense..

Staying in hostel?

- Yes.

Keep it, dear"

It is ok..

Keep it.

It is my pleasure, keep it..

Kamala is a bit

forgetful these days"

What she gave you is actually fake jewellery

In case you try to sell or pawn

It will be a shame for all..

Keep this"

Keep this"

My blessings!

Aami loves everyone,

sym pathizes with all..

But if you give away things to everyone

You will have to beg in the end..

She was a poor girl..

- Maybe"

That's my problem..

Your long-time absence here

Is a huge loss for Kerala culture"

Don't worry about that.

Now that you are here, you should actively

involve in the cultural and social front..

I've enough to write..

But civil society here needs a legendary

personality like Madhavikkutty"

If civil society takes me over fully

what will Dasettan and my kids do?

For long, our organization has been working

Above party politics, In the cultural front

We've thousands of members

here and all over Kerala

If you can lead it, we can develop it

Into an alternative political movement

I am not interested

in politics.

For the next parliamentary elections

You should contest from here..

If it is not a bother,

please come another day"

Please reconsider our proposal

Politics is not

like writing stories.

But they are pressurizing me..

They will keep you in the front

And get their things done..

I don't think so

They are good people..

Why are you silent?

You are a public figure

Unni, say something"

Are you capable of running

a political party?

It is not me..

They'll take care of all that!

If you decide something

No point in anyone else opposing it..

Dasettan has no objection

Monu and Chinnan also agreed"

Shodu too..

Did you tell mother?

- No.

What is the ruckus all about?

Nothing"

just enjoying our

time together"

Next week, aren't you coming to

Thiruvananthapuram to receive an award?

After that, stay with

me for a few days

But you are too busy..

Now you're contesting

in the elections too...!

But who told you?!

I too live in this country"

My dear Malayalee friends

I believe you all know

Madhavikkutty, the writer

But now I am standing before you

In another role..

From now on, I wish to live

Amidst you, as one among you

The only reason why I became

A candidate in this election.

I also don't know

their language"

What I want to say I

will say truthfully..

The Darling of Malayalees

The Dear Daughter of Kerala, Madhavikkutty

Please cast your valuable votes

In the symbol of Rising Sun..

Election News continues.

In Thiruvananthapuram

parliamentary constituency

Congress candidate A Charles wins..

He defeated Neelalohitadas Nadar

of Left Front by 53438 votes

Charles got 2,39,791 votes

and Nadar 1 ,86,353 votes

Eminent writer Madhavikkutty

who was also a candidate

Lost miserably and lost her deposit...

An independent candidate, she

received only 1786 votes

Mom, that chapter is over..

But Aami will not be demoralised

by this, isn't it, dad?

Look at him laughing!

I am only sad that I lost the deposit

It was Dasettan's pension money

I could've at least bought some books!

Or a silk saree!

There must be at least 2 Iakhs readers

of my stories In Thiruvananthapuram

Also, thousands of women

who love Madhavikkutty.

If even half of them voted for me

I'd get a majority of over 50,000

That gentleman who repeated these

Shodu, is he around?

Good..

Chinna, pick the phone..

Must be someone calling to congratulate.

It's okay, my brave heart.

You have been nominated from India for

Nobel Prize, for your collection of poems.

Yes.

It is for the first time that a writer

From Kerala is nominated for Nobel Prize!

What is there to ask?

I should be happy, isn't it?

Did you feel so,

when you were defeated in elections?

What's your name?

Kamala-ji, how many men

have you loved so far?

Well..

17 men, 12 women, 6 children, 3 dogs,
