ചിത/CHITHA

ചിത 

സൂര്യനെ നോക്കി ദിശ കണ്ടുപിടിച് തെക്ക് നിന്ന്  വടക്കോട്ട്‌ ചതുരാകൃതിയിൽ ആറടി മണ്ണ്. ഉണരാത്ത ഉറക്കത്തിൻ്റെ  ഉറവിടം അവിടെയാണ്. പറമ്പിൻ്റെ  പടിഞ്ഞാറേ അറ്റത്തുനിന്ന താളി  മാവിലേക്ക്‌ മഴു ആഞ്ഞു വെട്ടുന്നതിന്റെ ശബ്ദം ഉച്ചത്തിൽ കേൾക്കാം. പാവം അവളും വയസ്സായിരിക്കുന്നു. ഇനി ഒരു താളി  മാങ്ങാ തരാൻ അവൾക്കാകില്ല. ആദ്യമായി അച്ഛൻ്റെ  തല്ല്  കിട്ടിയത് മാവിൽ കയറി വീണപ്പോഴായിരുന്നു. അങ്ങനെ എത്രയെത്ര കഥകൾ പറയാനുണ്ടാര്നു അവൾക്ക്. അമ്മൂമ്മയുടെ ചിതയൊരുക്കാൻ നിന്നവർ രണ്ടു വാഴകൂടി വെട്ടികൊണ്ടുവരുന്നത്  ദാമു കണ്ടു. അവൻ  മന്ത്രിച്ചു. ഒരു മരണം നടന്നു, അതിന്റെ അന്ത്യകർമ്മങ്ങൾക്ക്കായി ദാ ഇപ്പോ മൂന്ന് ജീവനും കൂടെ അടർത്തിയെടുത്തു . ഓരോരോ ആചാരങ്ങൾ. അപ്പൂപ്പനെ മാവ് വെട്ടിയാണ് ദഹിപ്പിച്ചതെന്നു അമ്മൂമ്മ പറഞ്ഞിട്ടുണ്ട്.

Photography is an art. Knowing the operations of a camera doesn’t make a good photographer. It is the creativity of mind which turns a camera operator to a good photographer. Every photo taken with creative mind will have a life in that. And this life brings more attracters towards it. Only a professional photographer can shot an amazing moment which can happen in a fraction of second. The speeds which he gained through experiences give pace for his hands. A person who comes across the various realms of life can only identify a photo with life.

THE HARBINGER OF THE DEATH OF NEWSPAPERS.

There was a time when people eagerly wait for newspapers in the morning. For them that was the only medium through which they can open the window and saw the world. But the arrival of digital media was a harbinger of the death of the newspapers.

According to ‘The Guardian’s’ studies in 2011, sales of Britain’s main national dailies have fallen by 6.75% in just 12 months. These figures have risen now. Recently media corporate James Murdoch had announced the closure of the ‘News of the World’, Britain’s largest selling leading Sunday newspaper. All the print publications are facing this threat. After almost 80 years of on the newsstand, ‘Newsweek’ America’s leading current affairs magazine published its last print edition in December 2012. Even the existing newspapers are trying to eliminate their supplementary editions due to loss of readers.

FORGOTTEN HEROES OF TRAVANCORE - NAIR PATTALAM

The Trivandrum city is famous for its statues, sculptures and Memorials. When someone travels through Palayam there is a small island opposite to Fine Arts College. In the island stands a tall Pillar. The inscription on the Pillar reads as “To the memory of the men of Indian Army recruited from the state of Travancore who lost their lives in the service of the empire during the Great War – 1914-1921”. But today only a few remember those warriors. They were the ‘Nair Pattalam’ who once shook the entire Travancore Kingdom. The memorial was established in the memory of the Nair Pattalam of erstwhile Travancore who laid down their lives during the First World War.
