പീഡനം

For those who are not able to read malayalam:

I had visited kudiyanmala area of kannur in 2006 November.
I found a number of such concrete or wooden crosses in areas
like maavumchal, kottayamtattu, palathadam thattu etc.Upon
enquiring the localities told me that those crosses are to
frighten the ghost of janu. She was gang raped and killed in
that area. She was tortured and killed and after death her soul
is being tortured by the symbol of the man who sacrificed his life
for the entire human race ! That’s quite Funny isn’t it ?

കാപട്യത്തിന്റെ മൂടുപടവും
ചമയങ്ങളും എനിക്കു വലിച്ചെറിയണം
പേടിച്ച്‌ പറന്നു പോകുന്ന കുരുവികളോട്‌
ഞാന്‍ വെറുമൊരു നാട്യക്കാരനാണെന്ന്
വിളിച്ച്‌ പറയണം
കാലമേറെയായിരിക്കുന്നു
കാപട്യത്തിന്റെ മൂടുപടമിനിയെനിക്കു വയ്യ
പക്ഷെ ആ മൂടുപടം മാറ്റിയപ്പോളെല്ലാം
ആര്‍ക്കുമെന്നെ വേണ്ടായിരുന്നു
ഇനിയും അതുണ്ടാവുമൊ ?

yes..this kozhikode beach,has stood witness to ma small feet learning to walk..the days when i couldn’t walk without holdling onto my dad’s hands,then it saw me building castles on its sand,then..it saw me beginning to notice the sunset..and then rush to the lion’s park..then it saw me with my friends celebrating after our exams..it saw me in mamas n pappas,it saw me going home in school bus..then…it saw me as a young girl,with the man of her dreams..it witnessed our dreams and visions,our pranks our secluded meetings…when no one was around to console…this beach had always been there..as a hand on the shoulder..Ever noticed something?this beach and de waves do not try to erase the name u write on the sand…neither is it the kind which pronounces its fathomless strength in its waves..it is mild,caring..and full of love…this beach is what i miss the most as i live out of the city.
