Ente-Priyakathal-T.Padamanaban

He is an iconic figure of Malayalam literature. Every story of his takes us to dwell fitfully on the past, on a delightful present and on a prosperous future. The veteran writer makes us to wish that each incident in the story should have happened atleast in our dreams.

One of the most fasinating story is "Nidi Chala sugama". This is the life of Ramanadan who was loyal and committed to the company. More than a technically expert engineer, he was a good human being. Once he recommended one of the best subordinate worker for the promotion and the management recommended who was ineligible and unfit for that post. Immediately Ramanadan resigned his job. Eventually, when the company was in alarming condition to go shutdown due to technical issues which could not be even mend by the technical experts from foreign countries, Ramanadhan came for the rescue. This saved the image of the company from laying off employees and closing down the company. However, he did not accepted the ransom consultation fees which he had been offered as a token of recognition. At the end of the story, he promised to the officials, he would extend his help in the future too, however not for the money.

The books is the collection of his own favourite stories. As an amateur reader, we will loose in the stygian reaches of the deep thoughts.
