V S meets Kunhanandan Nair against CPM’s restrictions

TVM: Communist Party is a tightly closed system where party rules over individuals. CPM is much more conservative than any other parties of the same clan. Recent years have been a threat for V S Achuthanandan as he crossed the restrictions many a times. After being severely criticized by the party during his tenure as the chief minister of Kerala, he  regained his place back by his tremdous performance in the Assembly election campaigns.

It did not take much for him to face issues of discipline as he met the veteran communist ideologist Berlin Kunhanandan Nair during his Kannur visit. CPM had strictly restricted all the members not to visit Berlin Kunhanandan Nair as he was an ideologist expelled from the party. But nothing could stop V S as it was a routine for him to meet the ideologist in every Kannur visits. But he refused to take food from his home as he had restrictions from the party.

Members of the party may have differences in their thoughts, but Berlin Kunhanandan Nair is as communist as V S or Pinarayi Vijayan. Taken account of the discipline and the closed structure of the party, V S could have opted confirming himself to the restrictions. But as an independent individual, he is known for not confirming to any of those restrictions that he thinks is against his individual freedom. The party’s stand may differ, but that should be dealt with in its walls.

And, I got Engaged!

It was a Saturday. I planned to go to office as I didn't want to waste a leave that I could save for my exams later this month. Yes, the event wasn't a big one for me till then. I met the beautician to make me look better for the day. My sister and Brother-in-law reached home Friday itself. So Amma made me take leave and be like a bride atleast for that day. We started our day by visiting the jeweler to get  the ring. The sales executive couldn't believe when I said the engagement is on the next day. That was a real risk to wait till the last day to get the ring. Fortunately there was no harthal no strike and we got it all perfect.

When I saw it, it was just another ring, though I felt it is a big one, but can't help it.Somethings you just have to leave it the traditional way.

The E day came. 10 July 2011, Sunday. We took everything packed in a bag and left for the venue. Hours passed with dressing up and photography. Something was striking in my mind, that an event is going to happen and everything in me will change. My uncle came all of a sudden and lead me to the stage.

Unbelievable! It had already started. Kiran was sitting near the lamb all set to start the show. The rest was a dream.And when I regained my mind it was all over. I saw the ring on my hand and the same on his. Thus I got Engaged!
