Nurungukal…..
I was eagerly waiting for the parcel to be delivered. My sister in law had a few days ago triggered a desire in me about a maiden attempt by her grand daughter to author a book. I know very well Rohini had a flair for literary creations . In fact I had read one or two of her earlier couplets.
The book reached me a few days ago. From the very layout of the cover and the title “What’s a lemon squeezer doing in my vagina”, I could figure out the complexity of the content and guessed it was something beyond my horizon. So I purposefully embarked on a cautious voyage. Unlike the author, although I was a science graduate my comprehension failed to enthuse any affinity on scientific premises now. Ironically in my case also the subject was thrust on me in order to fair in the job market.
As I waded through the alien waters slowly and steadily got engrossed in serious reading, contrary to my usual approach of hop step and jump. She has effortlessly managed to crochet a fabric intertwining intrinsically the threads of emotions and scientific truths. Her lucidity of command on scientific acumen has been well expressed throughout, by sheer clairvoyance and clarity of purpose. Each event has been stuffed with her exclusive flavours like her favourite grilled sandwich.
Above all her insistence to explain each and every clinical procedure without depending on a doctor’s version expressed her intense control of the situation and grasp of events. Her stoic fight to surmount the bali kera mala using each and every weapon in the medical arsenal depicts the resolute intention, which should sensitize many aspirants.
The arrival of Advait was so abrupt as if she has moored an aircraft at the dead end of the runway with a thud, denying her readers the leisure to dwell on the ecstatic of child bearing.
While extolling her command on the language and brave efforts to narrate a transparent and true episode from her personal life, without any inhibitions of revealing the identity of the players, let me from the bottom of my heart wish dear Rohini an event full literary journey.
