Lohithadas Died

Ambazhathil Karanakuran Lohithadas died following a massive heart attack. He was 54.

One day he said; we "malayalees" have a specialty; we people love and respect artist/individual after his or her death.

He started his career in the literary field as a short story writer. Later he turned to films as a scriptwriter. He scripted the award-winning screenplay for Thaniyavarthanam. This first work was recognised and brought him Kerala State Film Award for Best Story.

The stories and scripts written by him will be enough for future generations to understand the genius of Lohithadas.

MJ Dies at 50 !

Namaste ! Mein hindusthan aa raha hun !

This was the advertisement I watched in MTV in 1996. I was there in Rs.1500 gallery; I watched his spectacular stage show when he performed in Mumbai in 1996.

He died pauper though he earned millions. His music was inspirational since the time I started to listen (may be since 1980). He leaves a legacy of changing the music world as he passed away.

TV channels around the world showed this tragic news. MJs 'star' on the Walk of Fame, in Hollywood Blvd, LA, was transformed into a makeshift shrine to the late pop icon.

His music will hit in the market and could be no.1 again in music charts.

Thanks to MJ. Thanks for his great music. Thanks for his great show memories. Across the globe; millions will miss him.

Azhikode called Achuthandan a dog

I remember the day; when 85-year-old leader reacted to Major Unnikrishnan death by saying that “had it not been Major Unnikrishnan’s home, not even a dog would have glanced at it”. Major Unnikrishnan was killed durng commando operations at the Taj on 26/11.

Now; he accused a literary critic; by saying he described him as a dog that defecates in its cage.

There was outrage nationwide and, finally, an apology from 85-year-old leader itself.

When this dog theory will stop?
