To scribble something in my blog, and that for the first time, is trembling as Iam not an eloquent.Still i know it doesn't matter because its you, my beloved ones
who is going to read through this. Anyway let me start with the whole hearted gratitude to my sister who enlightened my way to blog writing
Let me commence this blogging by sharing you all my experiences with the book Khazakinte Ithihasam,the great work of our eminent author O.V.Vijayan
(Hats off..). This book picturises the soul of the place Khazak,each character depicting different faces of a bucolic life.
The character who could touch my heart was Abidha.She poignantly portraits the wounded desires of an adolescent girl; who dreamt a happy life with her father and step mother,but ended up in a
retreat.Maimuna has got the face of a chatter box of the rustic place, blathering everything from here & there with her twin in blathering. Here comes our famous Mollaka,the one who is
running a madrassa in the place. He has got the grimace of a responsible citizen of Khazak. But, with the entry of Naizam Ali(Khaliyar), his importance was diminishing. Aliyar runs a
pan-shop in the place,where he would entertain the chit-chats & gossips of the localites. Now comes our Kuppuvachhan,who is a balance sheet of a shattered life. He is with lots of regrets and
detachment due to the severance with his wife. He used to report abuse on every one.ya, my favourite, interesting character is Appukkili;who is the remain of deeds of several transmigrations. Hey
then,the last but not the least character, the central one of the story, Ravi portraits the quest for existence, a wayfarer...He is a teacher in an informal education centre in Khazak & the
story is about his existential crises. The novel ends when Ravi begins his journey to some other realms of existence. The existential puzzle of man, as to why he should exist is thoroughly
explored in this novel....
