A marriage memory

After an agonizing wait spanning over two decades, fate finally reunited me with my dear friend amidst the joyous celebration of his daughter's marriage. As I embraced him, the floodgates of nostalgia burst open, washing over me with a tide of bittersweet memories that had lain dormant for far too long. In that fleeting moment, time seemed to stand still, as if the years between us had vanished into the ether, leaving only the warmth of friendship and the echoes of laughter that had once filled our days.

My heart swelled with happiness at the sight of my long-lost friend, his familiar face etched with the passage of time yet still radiant with the same warmth and kindness that had endeared him to me all those years ago. We laughed, we reminisced, and we shared stories of days gone by, each word a precious gem in the tapestry of our friendship.

As I looked upon him, surrounded by his loved ones on this joyous occasion, I couldn't help but marvel at the twists and turns of fate that had brought us back together after so long. It was as if destiny itself had conspired to reunite us, weaving a thread of serendipity through the fabric of our lives.

In that moment, amidst the music and merriment of the wedding celebrations, I felt a profound sense of gratitude wash over me. Gratitude for the enduring bond of friendship that had stood the test of time, transcending the years and miles that had separated us. Gratitude for the chance to reconnect with a cherished friend and relive the precious moments of our shared past.

And as I raised a toast to the newlyweds, my heart overflowed with hope for the future. Hope that our renewed friendship would continue to flourish and grow, like a sapling nurtured by the gentle hands of time. For in the embrace of friendship, there lies a power beyond measure—a power to heal, to inspire, and to remind us that no matter how far we may wander, the bonds of love and friendship will always bring us home.

M T Vasudevan Nair

My entry into the world of Malayalam literature was through the masterful writings of M. T. Vasudevan Nair, whose passing today feels like a deeply personal loss. It was his novel Manju (Mist) that first drew me into this literary universe. The story, much like its title, was enveloped in an atmosphere of melancholy and mystery. It unraveled slowly, like mist clearing in the morning light, revealing truths that were profound yet heartbreakingly simple. The characters, their struggles, and their silences lingered in my mind long after I turned the last page. It was not just a novel; it was an experience. I returned to it over and over, each time discovering something new, as though the book was speaking directly to the depths of my soul. To this day, I cannot count how many times I have read Manju—it became, and remains, a companion to my thoughts. After Manju opened the door, M. T.’s other works beckoned me forward. I was soon engrossed in Nalukettu, a story that painted a vivid portra...

Elephant Migration

** The Escalating Conflict Between Humans and Elephants: An Analysis of the Impact of Climate Change** The increasing incidences of elephants encroaching into human settlements in search of water and food present a vivid manifestation of the broader environmental crisis fuelled by climate change. This essay explores the complexities of this escalating conflict, which not only threatens the survival of the majestic Asian and African elephant species but also poses significant risks to human communities. The fundamental issue at the heart of this conflict is habitat loss, driven largely by climatic fluctuations and exacerbated by human activities such as deforestation and the expansion of agricultural and urban areas. As natural forests dwindle and water sources dry up, elephants, which are known for their large home ranges and dependency on vast quantities of water, are forced to venture into human-dominated areas. This migration is driven by a desperate search for the necessities of su...
