Scribblings

Scribbling down ... need to be cut & post

On Sandhya namam at kottapuram

Prayer used to happen in 'kizhakke eraan', so people sat looking towards west. Photos of Siva, Krishna, Kodungalloor Amma etc, used to be in this 'eraan'. Achachan used to fume sambraani in the morning in this 'eraan'.

Bhargavi velyamma, being the eldest, used to sing some old prayers, carrying the current youngest baby in her arms

Achachan used to read Bhagavatham. Used to read in nice tune.

Murukan was the favourite god. Going to Pazhani was popular.

On Achachan's english

Studied till 5th. English started from "naal ara class".(?)
There were some old books.
Acahachan used to trouble 'parameshwaran ammavan" (panambukaattu achaachan) with some questions:
What is the english for "Kuthunna pashuvine kurukki kettanam", "uyartnnu parakkunna oor kuruvi paranthu aakumo" ?
