A Miraculous Homecoming

### A Miraculous Homecoming

At that time, I was a bank officer stationed in Calicut. Life followed a predictable routine, with work consuming most of my time. However, one evening, as I returned to my hostel after a long day at the bank, something unusual happened. I was suddenly overwhelmed by an inexplicable feeling, almost as if a telepathic message was urging me to go home immediately. This sensation was so strong and persistent that it was impossible to ignore. I felt an unshakeable restlessness that kept me wide awake and uneasy.

Unable to sleep and driven by this powerful intuition, I decided to act on the feeling. Without wasting any time, I quickly packed a few clothes, grabbed my essentials, and made my way to the railway station. It was around 1:30 am when I managed to catch a train bound for my hometown. Fortunately, the next day was a holiday for Deepavali, which meant I could make the journey without worrying about work.

As the train chugged through the night, my mind was a whirl of thoughts. The urgency I felt was unlike anything I had experienced before. It was as if an invisible force was pulling me home, and despite the logical part of my mind questioning the need for such a sudden trip, my heart knew I was doing the right thing.

When I finally arrived home, I was met with a scene of deep sorrow. My great father had passed away on that very Deepavali day. The air was thick with grief and the house, usually vibrant with festive joy, was now steeped in mourning. It was a profound shock, yet there was a strange sense of peace in being there at that crucial moment.

In the midst of the sorrow, I found myself performing a sacred duty that brought immense solace. I was able to offer a few drops of Gangajal, considered profoundly sacred by Hindus, to my father's lips. This final act of devotion, a ritual signifying purity and spiritual liberation, felt deeply significant. It was as if my presence at that moment was meant to fulfill this sacred responsibility.

For years, the mystery of how I had known to come home at that precise moment remained unsolved. Despite the advances in science and technology that define our modern age, there are moments that transcend rational explanation. My experience felt like one of those rare instances where something beyond our understanding was at play.

Reflecting on this event, I am reminded of the profound connections that bind us to our loved ones. These connections can manifest in mysterious and powerful ways, guiding us when we need it most. The feeling that drove me home that night was not just a random impulse but a deeper, almost mystical sense of duty and love.

In an era where logic and reason often dominate our understanding of the world, experiences like mine highlight the enduring presence of the inexplicable. They remind us that life is not just a series of events dictated by science and technology but also a tapestry woven with threads of intuition, emotion, and perhaps, even the miraculous.

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...
