kalappurakkalhouse

I can't imagine the situation which mother had gone through that time.At home we have

not only lost our beloved mother but also our share in the insurance money.A great loss of

life time! We are not considered as close relatives of Smt.C.M.Anandavally Amma.Years

passed by.Sisters have not disclosed any details to us till date.My father is 86 years old.

According to Dr.Sudha Hariharan the dead body belongs to the person who takes care

during old age.Instead of the dead body, they brought a small box of ashes to Kalappurakkal

house for immersing in the nearby river.Mother went to U.S. in full life and returned as ashes.

I remember my mother closely hugging me and kissing on the forehead before stepping into

the car for her last journey to airport with Dr.Sudha Hariharan for treatment.Living in the

same house where mother had spent last many years recalls all the past memories.She started

staying in Kalappurakkal house when she was pregnant with her second daughter.During that

period she was working as a Lecturer at Sri Sankara College, Kalady nearby.She lost college

job when she took maternity leave.Later she had to serve in High School for the rest of her life.

When I got a posting as Guest Lecturer in Zoology at Maharaja's College, she was the happiest

person.

Diabetes is the traditional disease and law is the traditional profession of the family.My

grand father Shri V.K.Gopala Panicker was also an advocate by profession before stepping

into the Police administration.Even today there are many senior and junior members in the

Kalappurakkal family who have selected law as their main profession.A degree in law can be

considered as a connecting chain of profession started much earlier by members of the family.

Lawyers of the family expose a special talent while dealing with legal matters .
