THE CHARACTERS
1 Kunjukochu (100)
2 Kunjan (40 )
3 Ammini ( 35)
Kunjukochu's hut at Paika. Kunjukochu is relaxing. Enter Kunjan and Ammini
Kunjan
How are you? I haven't visited you for a long time.I was busy in the banks to get some money. Are you affected by the currency problem?
Kunjukochu
Not at all. I was already paisaless. One who is down, fears no fall.
Ammini
What is your opinion about the rupee crisis?
Kunjukochu
By his blunder,he has sealed his fate.As we say in Malayalam,"മായ്ക്കാൻ തേച്ചത് പാണ്ടായി ",ie that which was intended to erase something, became a stain.My question is,was it necessary for Modi
Ammini
Maybe he did it for a good purpose.
Kunjukochu
Whatever it is,he has unleashed a hornet's nest on the man on the Q.He will be a nota in the next elections
Kunjan
Anyway, let's hope things will be back to normal soon.I have
brought some newspapers for you.( hands over some newspapers)
Kunjukochu
If it's Manorama, I don't want them.
Ammini
Why,what's wrong with Manorama? You used tobe an ardent reader of Manorama.
Kunjukochu
Not any more,because Manorama is rubbish.They published
a vulgar painting that hurt the feelings of Christians.
Ammini
Why do you worry? You are not a Christian.
Kunjukochu
I do not see things that way. Daughter,the people of this country
are going through hell due to the blunders of those in power.Why add fuel to the fire ?
Kunjan
But artistic freedom should be upheld at all costs.
Kunjukochu
Rubbish.India is not Denmark.Do you remember what happened to MF Hussein? He did a nude painting of Saraswathi.The Shiva Sainiks smashed his studio and chased him to Qutar.At that time,I condemned their vandalism,but now I feel the Shiv Sainiks vindicated.You know what happened to the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists in Paris? They were slaughtered because they insulted Islam. Was it necessary?
Kunjan
But artistic expression should be upheld.
Kunjukochu
Phoo...does any arist make a nude painting of his own wife and daughter and display it? No.Why then embark on misadventures? Anyway, leave the Manorama here.I have a shortage of toilet papers.Thanks.
Kunjan
Happy Christmas.
Kunjukochu
The same to you.Bye.
