Higuita's Grace!!

'Silence is a viable option when it comes to resistance' says N.S.Madhavan, the leading writer of Contemporary Malayalam literature. Yes, the very own 'Higuita' fame.It is a matter of sheer bliss and ecstasy when you accidentally and incidentally meet someone you adore a lot!! Thanks so so much Sathi 
Sir for entrusting/insisting me at the last moment with the duty to report the P.K.Nair Colloquium held at Hotel Hycinth as a part of the 22nd International Film Festival of Kerala. I feel really honoured and Madhavan sir's words kept me in awe especially the way he responded to my query. Hope I meet my ever inspiring blogger Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan, the compulsive confessor soon( I have already conveyed to her Father). Feeling delighted to go through many of the IFFK news reports published in numerous newspapers although without a byline.. Is it so, my dear Anand, Vinayak, Asif and Kuttan?( I mean our English dudes gang??? Festival mode on forever.......

Keteki Re-visited!


That moment when I felt the warmth of a lonely Keteki at my Trivandrum a few months ago.....!,I have made up my mind that I am gonna meet the creator of Maj Rati Keteki movie again and again.I have to...Yes,today was that auspicious day cum lunch with Dr.Santwana Bardoloi madam,the creative and literary Assamese director.Finally I met her Dr.Jayanta Bardoloi and she flies just because of him.Glad that you disclosed a romantic story too in a literary way.A poet can distinguish human anguish in the cry of a lonely Keteki screaming in the middle of the night.The director who is a doctor by profession has captured my heart by creating Priyendu Hazarika and Sumana.I can never ever forget that epic moment of hugs from Bardoloi madam last time on my revelation that her Sumana is a replica of my self immediately after anchoring the IFFK press meet session.Thanks for sharing your insights and gifting the DVD of your debut film Adajya.Thanks a lot for enhancing my passion for movies of arts and hearts.Thanks for your optimistic wish while taking your leave-Keep Writing!...Yes,for sure and forever although my experiences,travels and explorations lack the charm of marvellous and alluring facebook images and hike of like counts.I just move on with the hope that I will also meet the ocean of my passions and actions via the world of words!!!!
Creator of Keteki with the upcoming creator (might be Sumana)
