Narayan Chithappa's 25th wedding memories...& a poem

Hello Piyers...

I had been to Narayan chitappa and Indra chithi's Silver wedding celebrations..Twas a great time out there at Cincinatti..

I am sure all of U are curious how the function was and what all happened...It was lot of fun out there..The whole pgm was a surprise event organised by divya,nitya,ram and thier frends..Lotsa dance by relatives/Music band performing live for 3 hrs..Believe it or not..Chitthi-Chitappa danced too!!!!Divya,Nitya,their frends and Ram gave a dance performance to assorted Indian film music.They really stole the show..

For all of us kids who had missed the wedding 25 years ago,this seemed to be a replay,with added elements such as "U-may-kiss-the bride!!" scenes..which U udnt have had in the earlier original wedding!!

Of course..the best part is..I had great food for 3 days..after a very very long time(almost an year!!).My partner in the marathon Men's doubles eating event was Sridhar(wow..remember the athirasam n thattai??)) ;-)))!Abhinav kutti was cool n enjoyed..!

Ok then...bye..-Rajesh

Heres the poem/gift that my father presented to Narayan Chitappa,on behalf of all the Piyers..

Silver   wedding    greetings!!!!

Swami Sivananda said………

Is there any foe except the mind? Is there any shelter except the Lord?

Is there any help except his Grace? Is there any friend except the indweller?

Is there any benefactor except the inner Ruler? Is there any emperor except the Almighty?

Is there any Doctor except Lord Narayana? Is there any medicine except his name??

Now I Continue      

Wake up all guys! Good morning!

Join Dr Naryanan and Indira's Silver wedding

Who got married in Trichur heaven!

In year Nineteen Seventy-seven…

Narayanan was ever a child,

For all who saw him as a lad…

Vivekodayam in Trichur, JAV & Seshadripuram in Bangalore City

The Schools, which remember his scholastic capacity.

Narayanan was born with a determination

To serve the suffering sick and downtrodden.

Studied Medicine in Bangalore amidst toil..

Often burning the midnight oil .

Many a classmate surrounded and liked

Like Veerabhadra and Purushothama heard

In Medical College too,

Sabapathy paired with no motto!!

Respecting and obeying parents always,

Loving relations in all days.

Providing timely help to all,

He Catalyzed them grow tall.

USA- for all of us was a fantasy.

Physician in family - his parents' ecstasy.

Specialized in Cancerous health hazard

Our Narayanan's an Oncologist at AMC Hazard.

 Wife is Godsend and partner by choice,

In joy and sorrow joins her spouse

Indira - daughter of Ganapathy Iyer and Thangam Maami,

Became the wedded partner of Naryanan Saami!

Life of Indira reminds us all time,

We can make our life sublime!

By giving eternal, quintessential resort,

Indira gives Narayanan an essential support!

Narayanan joined Cancer Institute full,

To earn and study the cancer dreadful

Under Dr Santha ,he acquired knowledge,

Dr-Sastry, Sukumar –his friendly Colleagues!

Brindha, Chandra and Sobha,

Surround Narayan at US as sisters in law;

Adorn the glowing Vadakkanchery US bandwagon,

Amidst the Cardiologist Pitchai, Balan and Mohan !

Filmstar Cho - author of political satire
His magazine Tuklak and Mohd Bin Tuklak  attire
Nagesh- the comedian and Jagathi the Villain
Karunanidhi-Pillayo pillai remain N's fav recollection!

Narayanan has branches of nieces/nephews..

Any help to them-he never refuses!

Rajesh at Austin and New Jersey has Sudha

Sridhar at Tulsa and Syamala at Canada.

Full many a gem of purest ray serene

The lovely children of Indira and Narayanan shine!

Divya, Nitya and Ram Narayan

Make sweet the Narayan caravan!

Jersey Sudha heard a song..

Jersey Sudha in her happy moods expressed to hear a
song about her grandmother ANNAPOORNI

Here it is........

Born and blossomed invillage NOORANI
My mother Seshan ANNAPOORANI
Who belssed her progeny abound in harmony
And sailed smooth with PIYER in his life journey

As mother she was kind
All kith and kin remind
Soft tongued and silent to the incorrigible lasss
Gave source of solace to all mass

Born are her incaranations
But named in hallucination
Syamala in Chennai, Sudha In Jersey
Divya in Hazard and Chitra in Erode valley

Four sides of a square right
As Syamala and Sudha are straight
Divya gold bangled
And Chitra right angled

For me she is Amma and Amma
In silence I remember her Chumma
Innocent she loved me most
And ignorant I pretended and boast

Such was my mother Annapoorani
Who shortened her name as Poorani
And became the name of Sudhas house
In Kempanahalli in Bangalaore highs

These are the lines conveyed to all by Annapoorani
through me

A letter from Appa (Parameshwara Iyer)

My  next Chapter…6.8.2006…..

 

I Joined Bank  of  India   Ban galore   on  6.8.1968  and  has thus  completed 38  years  of service in  the  institution  today. In this  connection   I  thought  of  introducing  a  letter  dated  4/5/11.1976  received   by me  from  my  father  containing   various matters and  inter  alia   how  to  be honest in  work  etc. The original letter written  in  his  handwriting  is  held  with  me  and I preserve  it safe  inside the Sundarakakatam Book  of  Anatharama Dikshidhar presented to me by  our  Appa   during  1974  after my  marriage. I  reproduce  hereunder  the  said  letter  typed  verbatim. I  am  sure many  of  piyer members  would  have  letters   from Appa  and  would  feel glad  to  peruse  a  similar  letter.  I  have  seen  him  writing  letters     to  his  sons, son in law, Appesan, Manu Athan,  Appukutti, Mani  Anna,  Chinnamannis  father, Andheri  Ramanathan,etc  and their  relies  too.  He  was  having  good relationship through  correpondence  with   many  persons

                                                     4.5/11.76.

My  dear  Raghaven  and  Sundaram,

 

Received your and Sow  Radhais letterd 3^rd isn't. N goes   tomorrow  to a place   (Kottavattom…Quilon  Dist..10 KM   from Punalur Ry  Station  on metre  gauge line  to work  as Medical  Officer on  Rs.900/+free quarters) in an Hospital  run by   a Co-Operative  Society under  the  Collectors  supervision as it is centrally  sponsored.  He may came  back on  19^th  to  write   English  exam  here  on 20^th  and  return.  Then  he  might visit  Guruvayoor  either  on his  to or from Madras. He  has  also   to  await the  Tamilnadu  Health  Depts  order if he is selected  as his  interview was over  on  18^th  oct.

 

You  need not be  apprehensive of  TCR  transfer. Anyway  you  will  be  transferred and  TCR  is  one  of  the   best  places  in South  India ( Kerala..not unknown  to  us . As you say it may  not be difficult to   get  a suitable  house.  You may  contact  Anathanooo  Atahan (  T.R.Ananathanarayanan,  Adiyat  Madom,Kotttapurom Road,  Trichur  4,kerala )  or  C.R.Balan   and  is  eldest  son   Kasi  (  Electrical  Executive  Engineer)  at their  house  at   Patturakkal a  little  north  of Thiruvambadi  temple  or   R  Hariharan   9Retired  Accounts  Officer)  at  Punkunnam.  He is Chellams husband.  Chellam is  mothers  sister  Amminis   daughter  and  Echakuttys  sister.  Further  there  are Krishna  Athan,Mani Athans  four  sons,( one is  Ganapathy  who works  at  TVS.N.R.Ramachandra  Iyer,Retired Principal near  Ganapthy   Agraharam.  Further  there  PSN  Colony,Neeleswaram Colony.   Better  to get  a  house  at Vadakke  Angadi or Machingal or Mannath  Lane or  near  Chembukkavu  village. All  Brahmin centers  and  near  Vadakkunathan   and Thiruvambadi  temples. Krishna  Periappas daughter  Rasammal  also will be helpful. As in everywhere   now  rent and  cost of living  may  be higher  than 16  years  ago   when  we  left TCR.  You go  first, look  a  suitable house and  after  a week or fortnight  go  back  to Ban galore  and  take  Brindha   who  may  in  the  meanwhile  with  Ss  and  Radhais  help pack well all the essential   things for running  a house hold. Beds, some vessels, all  costly  dresses and  jewels may  be  taken with   you  two personally. All  others may  be  booked  TVS Motors  at  Cantonment   Office to reach  TCR  along  with  or  soon  after  you  reach  it. Some of  the old   Devaswom Peons   (Govindan,Krishankutty,etc)  may  recognize   you once  you  go to  Vadakkunathan  temple or Anthanoo     tell them.Pisharoth House  where  you  were  born and  the  inmates  there all  kindly may  recognize  and  help. Kannan  Devan Venkteswarans relatives also are there.  Dr Sahasranaman who temporarily  is  at  Besant nagar  MIG  70 or 71  has  his  Chithappas  etc at Mannath  Lane. One of them    is Indian  Oil Agent.He may help you get  a Gas Cylinder  easily.   K is asking  Dr Sahasranaman to  write  to   his  people.      Many  other classmates and  others  may  recognize   you  Further  there  is  no water problem.  Take  a house  with  pipe  and  well ( Peechis water)  well  ventilated  and in   Brahmin  Quarters . You  may  get   plenty  veariety   of vegetables,etc  than  at  Madras   Anathanoo  will help you get   a maid  servant,  milk  supplier. Anthanoo is  the   Manager or so of the   Ganapathy  temple behind  Thiruvambadi   and he may  be  influential   in  is  ways.          Also   contact   Thathat  Naryana  Menon   Manger Cochin Chit  Funds, The  Round  Trichur   . He too  retired  as  DC  and  is my best friend and well wisher.

 

Except for Office   use no pants  &  shoes  are  necessary.   For  all domestic calls   outside  as   marketing  etc  dhothi  and  shirt and  chappals  will do.  TCR  is  far  improved.   Triprayar   and Guurvayoor temples are  14  to 20 miles  from Thrissur  and  you can  worship once in  a month on  weekends  or  holidays. I write  straining  for  your  sake.

You have to be very careful with  money.

_________________________________Should not give  loans (     big     especially)  indiscriminately. The public  mainly  Xians are the wealthier   class now  are  either  good  or  bad. Be  careful  and  discreet to move with them. You  have to be thoroughly  honest in your  service  and  devoted  to work. Never quarrel with  superiors and  relatives  or neighbours.8 months  rain.  You may  need  an  umbrella. Climate will suit  you, Novr to Jan-winter-though  cold  may  be far  bearable than  Ban galore.

 

Parents cannot come as my condition  is so bad. I am physically a  wreck  now and have  plenty  of  mental worries   due  to mosltly  bad  health  and   scattered way  of  our family. Mother  too  is  weak.  Thanks to  N  we  are  all  getting  on  some how. Hereafter  God alone  can help us. Sobhana  has  joined  duty  on  1.11.1976  ( N  told  me  N is   giving her  Rs. 250/  out of Rs 500/  she  wanted  for security. now  demanded  in  cash)Others  are well. There is  acute  financial  stringency  here. Cost of living   still mounts  everyday. Income is  going back. Be economical, religious, and God fearing,  Brindha  will  initially  feel  a  little  pout of  water  but  in 2 or 3months   will  feel  happy.  Mother wanted  to know  urgently  whether  L walks  and  is  normal  and  can  come  home  soon. I  got MHKs  letter and  has  sent  Ls horoscope  copy  he  wanted.   S  and  sisters   may   feel  the  separation from you  two  much  as   we  parents   do  here.

These   lines   below  are  written  in the  left side margin  of  the  letter.

Tell  S   that  F   asks  him to be  courageous and  have self confidence. Let him  be  extremely careful in scooter use  and take care of his,Rs.Childs health.  Let  him not feel lonely.

Write in advance to Anthanoo Athan and to us all the   steps you  take  and  programmes then  and  there.

Yours affly,

 

Sd

The  Green grass grew around,

There was a chick,.

The chick  was in  the  egg,

The egg was in the  nest,

The nest ws  in  the  twig,

The twig  was  in the  Branch,

The Branch  was  in  the  tree,

And  the  green grass grew around  ..

The  tree  was  in  the  valley  and  the

THE END CLINIC

I  wish to  add how  and  ENT  Specialist   ...was     taught  medicine  by  our   father.

 

Dr.Sabapthy  a  college  mate  of  our  Dr. Narayanan    used  to  be  a  inpatient  in  our   house  at  Anneyappa  Blaock  when  he  was  in  the  copurse  of  his  studying  MBBS    at  Bangalore  Medical  College   and  our  Narayanan  also  being  his   college  colleague...

 

During    his   spare  time  he  used   to   study    medicine   ,  love   classmates,  nurses,  etc  and   spend  happy  Medical  Course.

 

He    used  to  be  given  a  kalluthalagani  by   our  father  as  he  used  to   be   a  night   stayer  in  our  house...and  used  to  sleep  well  and  donot  take  bath  for  many  days  etc.

 

In  the  course  of  his  stay  I  rmemeber  his  asking  our  father   names  of  medicines  for  hinm  to   prescribe/practisse   as  an  Intern.

Appa  used  to  give  him  names  like  Sedanol,Tedral,Deriphyllin,Bestnasol...all  these  he  used  to  note  in   a  slip  not  his  memory.  

 

After  completing  his  course...with  extended  period  over  5  years  he  came  and  aksed  ..//Raghavan  I  want  to  open  a  Clinic  near  Banswadi  and  want  a   name  good  name  for  the  clinic.   I  suggested  him  the  name  END  CLINIC....meaning   wo  ever  went  to  the  clinic   had  their  end  there...not  seriously..

 

So  this  is  another  part  of  the  story.

 

Raghavan

DOCTORS , NURSES, , COMPUNDERS, , DOCTOR-TURNED COMPUNDERS, Specialists in Heart, E.N.T etc etc

While I read Raghavan's write up on Doctors etc I felt I should also add a few lines  although I do not claim to write very  interesting witty anecdotes

  I really admire the way in which Raghavan   gives us  the very minute details which he vividly portraits with a pinge of humour here and there..

The lady who attends to uncomplicated childbirth in our times used to be called Midwife.?I still do not know  how and why" wife " comes in her name ?

 

For the first delivery of my wife (SYAMALAS birth) there was some tension till around 2 AM at Pazhayanadakkavu and fearing some complications , word was sent for Dr Tankamma  ( I don't exactly remember her name) But by the time she came ,the baby was born   much to the relief off all concerned . But having come  Dr Thankamma  examined  and said everthing OK but the patient should be put in a cot and not on floor.

 

For the second delivery ,which was after about 13 years later , all were concerned about safeness of delivery.While the medical officer in charge of  local mini hospital/delivery room at Guttahalli (near the bus terminus) initially said' no problem ', when monthly check ups were done,  in the last week opined  that they have no doctors to attend any complication that might arise  as the second delivery was after a very long period.

 

So she was admitted in the Malleswaram Hospital. First she was allowed a bed inside , by evening since there were no signs of pain, she was shifted to a  veranda to accommodate more urgent cases. Anyhow by next day or  so Sridhar was born without any complications and charges by the hospital was just Rs2-50 and that too as my income was given as Rs 500 or so. However APPA celebrated the occasion by distributing sugar and Very Good POOVAN pazham(Not the Madras Poovan  but RASTHALI ) We used to call it in Kerala as POOVAN.PAZHAM

 

 We used to wait for 17 A to go to Cantonment to see Dr Jayaraman a very old doctor but good in giving his own medicines which used to cure by just taking 2 or 3 doses. Many days after waiting for nearly an hour we used to walk all the way. ( Now a days we engage auto to go to  even nearby places.)

I used to ask Dr Jayaram for some medicines to gather courage for facing interviews  and he used to give some powder grinded by him with strict instructions NOT to EXCEED the prescribed dose and to take  it  just half an hour before we face the interview. I t used to work well in the sense you felt as floating in the air ,while facing the panel of interviewers and words would automatically come in our mouth for any questions that were asked.Whether I got promotion or not is a different question ,  the interviews went off well. Later on I realized that the powder which he used to give was nothing but very tiny  dose of DRUGS which are prohibited by Law to be taken Except under very strict personal supervision by the medical officer concerned.

 

 One interesting feature about Dr  (?)Venkitachalam  was      that  he used to charge just Rs 2/ per house visit,  but his rikshaw puller used to charge

 8 annas per trip and that too spot delivery/settlement, with no carry over,  without which he will not take the Rikshaw  beyond our house until it was  settled...Even for the house visit it was  on  the Doctors  way to Sitaram Mills  evening around 4or 5 oclock where he was appointed as DOCTOR (  ? )to attend workers.

Many days I have observed while the Drs  fees of Rs 2 was allowed  sometimes on credit , the rikshaw puller used to detain the doctor for more than 15 minutes for us to search for the change and give it. If we  do not have change but pay1 Rupee he wil not return the balance but would  ask  us  to adjust it for future charges.

 

 

Whilst on the subject of Doctors ,I wish to refer Raghavan'.s visit to Bombay and his selection for the post of VICKS Representative by Richardson HINDUSTAN) (   it was this  name by which Vicks company  was known,) However,the selection and appointment were  SUBJECT  to his PRDUCING a Medical certificateto the effect   that his eye sight was O.K and will be able to correct by glasses for doing the work of a Sales Representative..That evening we went to an EYE specialist  at BYCULLA and paid Rs 10/ or so and after his testing,  he gave a prescription for glasses  and also a certificate in the manner in we wanted. I was able to get this very  easily as only a few days earlier for the same reason I had taken our RANGANATHAN, our family friend for whom I got a job in HERDILLIA .He joined Herdillia but  later left and came to Madras and joined COROMANDEL GARMENTS. After a few years  service with Tatas   he left and now he OWNS a Big Garment factory in MADRAS and Exports to  the same overseas customers  of COROMANDEL.  and  other valuable clients in Europe etc.

 He now owns a house worthmore than  Rs1.5 crores   in  Annanagar and his annual net profit is around R2 crores.He has  2 daughters,both are happily married and well settled. Very recently he had attended the Sathabhishekam celebrations in our  house.

 

 

   I  think the Kurien( DR ?) was actually a compounder   in HAL and and a practicing Doctor? in the evenings at Guttahalli near KAKKA shop.

But his treatment was very ,very  cheap  less than a Rupee or soand effective and probably the medicines were all the samples from HAL dispensary?  

 

 

 Wth these few lines I stop  now
