Romeo and Juliet (comedy) Scene 2

Scene 2
Kappumthalakkal family home.Juliet and Saramma Nurse are in Juliet's bed
room,Saramma combing Juliet's hair affectionately.
Juliet
Saramma,today I want to ask you a favour.
Saramma
What favour,my child?
Juliet
The matter is simple,
You present my request
Before mom,I need a cell phone
Say it's essential,for today's youth
A necessity,not a luxury.
Saramma
Why don't you ask it yourself,
Is it such a big deal?
Juliet
I'm too scared to ask,
Because she has already shot down
My request;so to repeat it,
I'm too scared,you know her temper
It's "vettonnu,muri randu" ie
One cut;two pieces.
S

Saramma
I shall ask her,for your sake,
Come what may,because I am
The drum on which anybody can beat
But why the urgency now?
Juliet
(blushing)From you I can't hide
Anything,without your support,
I can't survive;the truth is
Romeo wants me to be connected.
Saramma
Ah,now the cat is out of the bag
I have,of late noted your chuttikkaly
If you get connected to Romeo
You get disconnected from your parents
And there lies the problem,
The Kappus and the Motta families
Are traditional enemies;and your
affair
is unthinkable,unattainable.
Juliet
Perhaps our love,in its frution
Might reconcile the two families,
Saramma,you have known me
Since the day I was born
Trust me,I won't pass the limit
In my love for Romeo.
Saramma
I fully trust you,but I don't know
How things will unfold,
A cell phone is peanuts for your mom
It's not a big deal,because even the
beggars
Are well-connected,every Andan and
Adakodan
Is armed with it,then why your mom
Deny you one,I really don't know
But I shall present your case srongly
Until your legitimate demand is met.
Juliet
(hugs Saramma)Thank you Saramma
I love you so much.
(the doorbell rings)
Daddy and mummy have arrived.
(curtain)

A POEM FOR BAKOLOBENG STUDENTS

            A  poem   for  Bakolobeng    students  April   25th   was  a memorable   day  at  Bakolobeng   Secondary   School for   many   reasons. It  was the  last working  day of the  month  due to  a  long   weekend and  extended  special  school  holidays. For  me and  for Mrs. Visser, the  Principal, it was  our  last day  in our  careers. By  a  lucky coincidence, it was  my birthday. I   heard  that  the teachers, students  and the School  Governing  Body members  had  planned  a  special assembly  to  honour us. I thought  that the assembly  was  after  lessons, but  they  wanted to ...

The attack on Oommen Chandy-a Pravasi's perspective ( opinion)

The  attack on  Oommen  Chandy- a  Pravasi's  perspective   ( opnion ) The vicious attack  on Honourable  Chief Minister  Sri Oommen Chandy  at  Kannur, allegedly by CPM goondas, has shocked and  saddened  civilised , peace-loving  Malayalees  in India  and abroad. But , unfortunately, there are some people ,who are uncivilised anarchists  who celebrate ,rejoice, and justify  the cowardly and barbaric attack  on the Chief Minister. They are happy that , at least, one of them was able to injure Ommen Chandy, and of course there are others who regret that he escaped death. Such people can be found on the social media, making crude jokes about  Sri  Chandy's injury. It's  a true reflection of the scum that are baying for the blood of Oommen  Chandy. Some gutter channels play second fiddle to these  barbarians ! But  every  decent Malayalee...
