Marikkum smrithikal - Poem on Hope

Suryane chumbicha ekanthatha
en thozhanay maridumpol
Ormakal ennullil vingalay evideyo
tharattu padidunnu

Paksham karinjora pakshi kanakke
en hrithadam pidachirinnu
Oro ravum pakalum ennullil kevalam
mathrakalayirunnu

Unarum nyan e charathil ninnu
oru phoneix paravaye pole
Ulakathe vellum nyan e tholviyil ninnum
orayiram padangal ulkondu.

Cry of Shadows - Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Jean opened the box. It was a Blackberry. It had a small note in it.

“Your mail services are configured in this Phone and always use this phone to interact with your colleagues in France. All the messages are encrypted and your number is secured from any kind of anonymous interceptions”- Azad.

That was pretty interesting stuff for the gadget freak. He wanted to try Blackberry OS7, as he had heard about the cool features it supports.

"I need to give some rest to my iPhone". He checked the time, it was half past five. He got himself fresh and walked down to the reception. He took his phone and dialed Maria's number.

"Hello Honey, I am here in India"

She was excited to hear his voice. "How was your trip Jean, How is the hotel, how is the place"

As usual thousand question. She’d never let me answer any of her questions one after the other..

"Till now things are pretty good. I will keep you updated, but now I need to keep the phone"

"Hey, Jean Wait let.."

Jean did not allow her to conclude her conversation. He took his blackberry and called Azad. “Azad it’s time for us to meet.”

“Sure Jean, We will come there and we need to go to RAW regional office in Kerala”. The Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW or RAW) is India's external intelligence agency.

Azad and Dhanu reached the hotel. As soon as they entered, both of them saw Jean dressed up and waiting in the reception. They again got back to the vehicle and drove to RAW. Jean took his Tab and tweeted

“In Gods own country..”

Little later the vehicle stopped in front of a plush duplex villa. Azad and Dhanu got down from the car, but Jean still feel surprised. They said they were going to RAW’s office and here in this villa? Azad answered the question as if he read his mind.

“Jean, I told you there won’t be any formalities or routine stuff happening in your investigation. Everything is revamped for your safety and security. We will meet the RAW chief right here. You are welcome to stay here if you feel that the stay at the hotel is boring.”

“Coffee?” Dhanu came with a coffee mug in his hand. They both joined him for the coffee. After 15 minutes Azad got a call

“Hello Azad, RAW chief will be joining you shortly”

Cry of Shadows - Novel : Chapter 5

_________________________________________________________________

Idukki  is the second largest District of Kerala(the largest being Palakkad). Rugged mountains and forests cover about 97 percent of the total area of the District.

Deep inside the forest, a long dark man was running with a piece of dried leaf in his hand. He reached near a cave and stopped. He was struggling to catch up the breath. He carefully moved inside the cave and walked down the narrow path. On the side of the path there was a shallow stream flowing. He continued running through the path and reached near a pond full of blue lotus. He shouted

“Akaleya”

The sound echoed in the forest “Akaleya.. Akaleya”

After a minute of silence, a thunderous sound of a human being evolved out from the cave near the pond.

“Who is there?”

“This is Nariyan, the Moopan¹ send me to give this ola² to you”

Akaleyan came out of the cave. His body was tattooed with a Snake and a strange animal. He had a strange tattoo on his face tool, a fire spitting dragon. His eyes were painted black and were appearing red as blood, he had a well-built physique. He was six feet three inches tall and had broad shoulders.

“Ok. Give that to me”, He ordered Nariyan. “But you are repeating the same mistake again and again; in this forest you have only one king, it’s me “Akaleyan”. Don’t repeat calling Ananthan as the chief”. He laughed loud; even with low light his long teeth’s were visible as if it is sharpened using a diamond saw.

Nariyan was visibly scared in front of him. He realized his heart seems beating normal than usual. He was waiting for Akaleyan’s response.

“What? How dare he is to disobey my orders?” Akaleyan screamed.

“I won’t kill you but tomorrow Amavasi³ cannot be completed without one among you. I warn you to be here else your kids will meet their ends. I repeat I warn you”, His eyes protruded and became more red and he was shivering with anger.

“Nariyan, tell your chief. His days are counted. He will sacrifice all your lives. Tell him to obey my orders else meet the mighty soon, The Death. Go….!!!”

Nariyan took a huge rock and hit akaleyan on his face. His nose was broken and he started bleeding profusely.

“Ahhhh…”. Akaleyan cried. “You…!”

Nariyan banged the stone on his head again and again till he was sure that it crushed his skull. Tears rolled out of his cheek.

“What are you dreaming? I told you to run”. Nariyan was shocked and returned to senses. He saw Akaleyan fuming in front of him.

“Huh it was a dream”, Nariyan turned back ran towards the entrance of the cave. The whole community was waiting for him to return with good news. But they didn’t know that one among them would meet a worst fate of their life time.
