They call me.. Ajayan

I am also known as Ajaya Kumar

Neither my mother nor father gave me this name

I have no known mother or father

Perhaps..

the woman who gave birth to me..

paid a price..

..by my birth

That woman..

unburdened her shame..

in the labour room of this hospital..

and escaped into anonymity.

Doctor Uncle!

He was not to be seen. He had crawled his way into the ward!

I gave him one!

Why did you hurt him?

From now your uncle will see that no one hurts you.

I surely wasn't the first baby to be abandoned in this hospital.

But I don't know why was not placed in an orphanage..

or given in adoption.

When Doctor-Uncle retired he took me away with him

Ajayan, Ajayan!

Is there no school today?

Let us go over the previous lesson

Name the first published work in the Malayalam language

The Essence of the Holy Bible

Where was it printed?

Italy! Written and published by Fr. Clement

Next question.. Ajaya Kumar need not answer

Constructing historical fiction is like retrieving a sunken ship'

What does the author mean?

Muralidharan..

May I sit if I answer correctly?

The author..

uses the ocean as a symbol of our memory

The ship stands for historic events

A good writer recollects events of the historic past and..

..with imagination and artistry reconstructs them into fiction

Stupid lot, sit down

To rescue a sunken ship

you have first to gauge the depth of the ocean..

I am not dattering myself

Both in studies and sports.

There was no one who could better me

In a way, that distinction was my undoing

First: Sunil K.N

Second: Mathew Verghese

Third: Mukundan

Sir, I came first!

You must observe the rules. Who asked you to turn back?

You have to prove you were that good?

Where's the rule against it?

Here, I specify the rules

Then make the others run!

You're a sharp lad. Come along

You bastard!

You dare be seen here again!

Damn your aim!

If you keep winning every game how can we run the show?

I warn you, don't show your mug here, ever!

How about your shirt? Not bathing?

I'll bathe from the steps

Then you keep count

Start the count as soon as we dive under

One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six

Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten

Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen Fourteen, Fifteen..

Sixteen, Seventeen, Eighteen, Nineteen Twenty, Twenty One, Twenty Two..

Twenty Three, Twenty Four, Twenty Five Twenty Six, Twenty Seven, Twenty Eight.

Twenty Nine, Thirty, Thirty One, Thirty Two, Thirty Three, Thirty Four

Thirty Five, Thirty Six, Thirty Seven Thirty Eight, Thirty Nine, Forty..

Forty One, Forty Two, Forty Three Forty Four, Forty Five, Forty Six..

Forty Seven, Forty Eight, Forty Nine Fifty, Fifty One, Fifty Two..

Fifty Three, Fifty Four

Fifty Five, Fifty Six, Fifty Seven Fifty Eight..

Fifty Nine, Sixty, Sixty One, Sixty Two, Sixty Three, Sixty Four

Sixty Five, Sixty Six

Sixty Seven

Sixty Eight

Sixty Nine

How far did you count? Start again, and don't stop

The truth is that I agreed to sing in this concert..

because it also gave me the chance to meet you

I thought you wrote me the usual polite letter

Now that you are relatively free

stay here a few days

You are as fit as a fiddle

Will you teach me to sing?

You wish to learn?

We can see to that

The boy has talent

Walk slower, Lata, I can't catch up!

Call me 'elder sister' haven't I told you?

Why should I? I never will!

I've been wanting to hand you this novel

Is it good?

Meaning?

The story is a bit improbable

No book is good enough for you

Let me read it and see

And the book you said you'd give me?

It's an intresting story

Doubt if you'd like it though

Let me read it first

Aren't you going to sleep?

Switch off the light

Ajayan

Never mind

No letters today?

Did you give one to Lata?

No

Did you give her letters from anyone else?

Speak up!

Chit of a boy and upto mischief already

Will you meet Lata again?

No

Now you may go. Here are your books.

Tom Sawyer was feeling miserable

Monday morning always found him so

because he started another week's slow suffering in school

He generally began that day with wishing..

he had had no holiday on Sunday

R. Ajay Kumar.. The Head master wants you

It made the going to school again so much more painful

Hold out your hand

You threw a stone at M. P. Verghese?

He hit me.. beat me!

I didn't ask that. Did you throw it?

Yes, I did

Will you do it again?

Yes, if they bully me for no reason

Such impudence!

Enough!

I don't know the reason

Even in my own age group there was no one I could call..

a true friend

I had nothing to say to them

Nor had they anything to offer me

Actually..

my only friends were Balu, then a medical student

who stayed with us over his vacations, and..

Doctor-Uncle himself..

with whom I went for evening walks

Do you remember your mother?

Yes

I was ten years old when she died

Why do you ask?

Everyone says she was very loving

One must be blessed to have such a mother

That woman who gave birth to me

if ever we meet, I will strangle her!

Selfish brute!

Doctor-Uncle's death was intentionally conveyed late to me

Who was he to me anyway?

My uncle?

My foster father?
