    Ma’am read your article. Nice and lucid. But you could just add the distinctions between the adult world of the writer against his childhood innocence, especially with reference to the world war.

  28. Rukhaya, I’m so very grateful to you for the poem that ends…”this my friend is the Kerala Story”. Brilliant and apt! Loved it and love your creativity. Needless to say, in solidarity, Nandu
