Random notes

A few days back I went to Neeliyar Kottam,a village temple near the Kannur University Office at Mangattuparmbu.It was to speak a few words facing the camera for a Documentary film being directed by V.K.Anil Kumar,camera man being Ameerali Olavara.The Documentary is a historical and realistic visual narration and analysis of the story of Kadinur Veeran a folk God of North Malabar whose performance is the most enthralling among the Theyyam performances.The emotional content of Kadinur Veeran’s story also is really great.The Documentary is expected to be ready for a public show by the first week of October 2011.I hope that it will be a commendable work since I had the feeling that the approach of Anil Kumar and Ameer Ali was of utmost sincerity and involvement.
