Unnikuttan Contd:

All those who read about Unnikuttan in the last post may not have got too many clues about who he is and what he does. So i thought I'd give some details about our "Unnikuttan de Kothannur". He began to be known as Unnikuttan from No 85, Anjinappa l/o. Unni is Nitin Kumar (or Nidhin as he spells it). He's talented as anyone would wish to be. He's an actor and dramatist. U can see that from the well crafted lies he says so innocently.

But he's ambitious. He has big dreams and his talents match them too. Two weeks of internship gave him the name "journalist" already. And what u say of an invitation by a TV channel, for next year's internship? He's capable, though he may look otherwise. He's got good oratory skills and the mock reportings he does sometimes will testify to that.

He acts and speaks. Hei, I am talking about drama and speech. He's won awards, and many of them for both drama, speech and bala. He's earned some bucks too, by doing bala with his friends. Oh and his oratory skill was exploited by some political parties too. I guess he can forgive them as it gave him a platform too. That too when he was young.

So u know Unnikuttan now. The seemingly, quiet and childish face has more than just innocence and restlessness about him. I call it "talent".

Unnikuttan...

Unnikuttan... He's the second personality i choose to write about! He's a talented young man with brains that'll fabricate the best of lies u've heard. ';-). He can act, and act very innocent. He's a travel lover and any chance to be outside, or hopping abt on the bike won't be missed by our dear Unni. A leftist by family tradition, he's understood the harms of remaining one by choice. And deciding to live without a leftist lopsidedness is the wisest thing he's ever done i guess. It takes courage and wisdom to do that though. Especially when your father and family are staunch followers (the question, whether by choice or not doesn't even arise here).

I like Unni for all the ready help he renders and the freebee nature. He's got an air of decency about him too.

Delhi - the seat of all that is HOT!

Delhi is hot and very hot and in all senses! Thaks to the occasional shovers, my stay there was damn pleasant. But I liked the hot part too. If u want to see hot girls (only see) Delhi is the place. The people are better behaved  and dressed. Hindi comes to you naturally (cuz there's no other way around) there I guess. All speak Hindi and even if someone spoke English it won't be more than a few words.

The metro takes you almost all the places u want to go. It's the national capital and the security check is stringent. But the airconditioned metro ride is worth the bucks. Each time I felt tired and unable to stand the heat, i got into a metro and got down in the next station.

It was my first time visit to an airport on 25 June. We have to report 3-4 hrs before for a two hr journey. That's a amazing! Huh? I felt I should have stayed longer just to make her feel that she isn't alone. But Joisy is cool. She knows how to get along with pple easily and fast. How can I forget the way she got the burqa to take a photo. She just walked upto a burqa clad woman and asked most persuasively. Honestly, I wouldn't have done that for anything in the world. (Am I an introvert?)

Afeter leaving her, it was my day all the way. I had not slept a wink the night before. Daisy aunty and I talked til 6.30 am we left from her house. It's after many yrs that we are meeting, let alone talking. I hardly knws her. I have only one or two memories of hers, that too as a child. But relationships are always what they are. I remember aunty asking (more than once) "what did we talk all this while?". It was amazing to be connected to one's own kin like that sometime.

Oh the day that was 25/06. I left Joisy in the airport and headed straight to Redfort. What amazing structure that is. Jesus!!! It was one sight that'll make us think of the country that was ours once upon a time. How many yrs they may have taken to construct that and so huge? Centuries back? And the lawns and gardens? Wow! Salutes, salutes and Salutes to the Kings that ruled us once. That's when glory did mean "glory"!

Oh i din't say. I had a two hr sleep in the lawns in front of the parliament. I am glad no terrorist chose to attack on 25/06. I slept like dead in the train. I have never been more tired! It was one beutiful journey too, with monsoon rains cooling the way.
