The depth of connection with relatives often surpasses that of friends met in schools or other walks of life, owing to the saying "blood is thicker than water." In this blog, I aim to present the profile of my contemporary cousin, Innochan, with whom I shared intimate discussions. I maintained a close bond with my contemporary male cousins, as we engaged in mischievous escapades during festivals, weddings, and funerals. Among these cousins, Innochan, later known as Innocent, stood out. Sharing my exact age, we had a similar sense of humour.
My memories transport me back to 1954, when I recall him arriving at my house in Cochin, India with my aunt, riding my three-wheeler bike. During that visit, our parents took us to watch the movie "Neelakkuyil" at Patel Talkies, Thoppumpadi, Kochi. Back then, he was rather submissive, and I held the upper hand.
Later, I encountered him at my maternal grandparents' house at Irinjalakuda. He had developed the skill of articulation, speaking with a touch of humour. In those days, there was a marble-based knuckle hitting game among boys. As the game's introducer, Innochan excelled, and I ended up with bruised fists from receiving his hits.
During the renowned Irinjalakuda festival, all my contemporary maternal cousins would gather at my grandmother’s house. Innochan had a penchant for stirring up other cousins like Kochessy from Puthenchira, Kochessy from Potta, and George Kutty from Chengal, encouraging friendly fights. Around 1958, my maternal grandfather passed away after a stroke. Living in Irinjalakuda, Innochan shouldered the responsibility of looking after our grandparents. Yet, I observed moments where he teased our grandfather and our hearing-impaired grandmother. On Sundays, his task was to fetch beef from the market after attending church mass.
One aspect I noticed him was his skill in avoiding confrontation with others. In my grandmother’s house my cousin Varghesettan who was about 15 years older than me and living there since his father passed away was a police officer in Malabar Special Police. After one of the church festival gatherings grandmother arranged a photographer to take a family photo of her five daughters. Myself, Innochan, George Kutty and both Kochessy were standing behind the photographer. Everything was set to take the photo, but suddenly Varghesettan stood next to Grandmother. I became exasperated and shouted at Varghesettan that he had no right to be included in the family photo and that his status was the same as ours. However I noticed Innochan was quiet, unresponsive and did not support me. Later I heard Innochan's father commenting 'Varunny (my nick name) was the only one man enough to protest' looking at Innochan.
The festive Hindu celebration, Pooram, brought everyone together in Thrissur. During each Pooram, cousins from both my father's and mother's sides, along with distant relatives' children, would congregate at our Thrissur home. Under my father's watchful eye, we would venture to the crowded Thekkinkadu or Pooraparambu to catch a glimpse of Thekkottirakkam. Around 2 am, my father would wake everyone for the world-renowned Pooram fireworks, lasting over three hours. In these eagerly anticipated moments, Innochan's witty jokes kept everyone happily engaged.
I distinctly recall him poking fun at my appetite when we met at one of our cousins' weddings in Puthenchira. During those times, all wedding reception curries were prepared in the early hours of the wedding day. Innochan's version involved me sensing the tantalizing aroma of fried onions garnishing chicken curry while I slept. Abruptly awakened, I approached the fiercely burning fire where a large frying pan held the curry. However, my uncle prevented me from indulging in the piping-hot dish directly from the pan. Innochan, it seems, overheard my uncle's sarcastic retelling of the incident to others.
But Innochan was no less indulgent than me. His sisters lamented that he devoured every morsel of food before they returned from school, squandering their father's wealth. After breakfast at 9 am, he would demand lunch by 11 am, leaving my aunt exasperated. During the Irinjalakuda festival, he excelled at showcasing his fearless skills in lighting various fireworks and crackers.
Academically, Innochan struggled, leading to conflicts with his father. My presence provided a reprieve, as my uncle refrained from chastising him in my company. In our teenage years, he entertained me with crude jokes and tales of his clashes with school teachers. Eventually, he realized academic success wasn't his path, opting for acting, politics, and small businesses. It's worth highlighting that his uniqueness was his greatest achievement.
While I pursued medical studies in Davangere, I learned that Innochan had run away from home, only to be apprehended by a railway station master suspicious of his currency-counting behavior. He was on his way to Madras for an acting opportunity alongside the renowned actor Prem Nazir. Undeterred, he persevered and eventually succeeded. In Madras, he resided in slums, seeking minor roles. His luck changed as he secured a minor role in a well-known movie.
During a hospital clinical session, I spotted Innochan in a corridor, waving his hand. To my surprise, he was at Davangere, whispering that he was unwell with an evening fever. Subsequently diagnosed with typhoid, he was admitted to the teaching hospital under Professor, Maheshwarappa's care. Upon recovery, lacking the funds to return to Madras, he worked in a match factory and shared accommodations with me. Our friendship blossomed once again, infusing my mundane Davangere life with humor and joy.
He was fond of smoking beedies and drinking, and a peculiar habit was his extended toilet stays, engrossed in reading "Balarama," leaving others impatiently waiting their turn. His distinctive belches, head bent, and intense stare became legendary and unforgettable. I often joined him in cooking, and he held my meat preparations in high regard. During his time in the UK, he praised my culinary skills to my wife. Each evening, he would invite me to a corner shop just opposite the entrance of JJM Medical College Hostel, offering me a Scissors cigarette and a banana. Unlike me, he remained generous even amid his problems and worries. His motto was to live like a lord, unaffected by 'tomorrow'. Whenever he found a moment, he would sing or whistle tunes from the movie "Nellu," in which he had a minor role, imitating the habits of Prem Nazir.
With some savings, he secured a dwelling in Madras and departed from Davangere to pursue his acting career. From that point on, he never looked back. His movie "Vida Parayum Mumbe" became a box office hit, although I learned of it while working in Nigeria. He started as a comedian, gradually moving to supporting and character roles. Unfortunately, I lost contact with him around this time, and communication became scarce. During my tenure as the General Secretary of the Malayali Medical Association, UK, I invited him as the chief guest for the annual day celebrations, and lived in our house in Kent.
Later, Innochan made significant strides in both politics and the film industry. His accomplishments included serving as a Member of Parliament (MP) in India and becoming a household name in the Malayalam movie world. During this period, I relied on updates from relatives. About a decade ago, I learned of his declining health, which worsened over time. Regrettably, he passed away at the age of 75. As a contemporary cousin, I take pride in documenting his early life journey.

AIPAC ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COx-t-Mk6UA ) and the Evangelical Church are perpetrating one of the most catastrophic genocides in history, targeting innocent women and children in Gaza. These organizations have supplied Israel with explosives to facilitate their acts of genocide. Gaza has been designated a disaster zone, severely lacking in essential resources for survival. AIPAC, The Evangelical Church, Miriam Adelson, Elon Musk, and timothy mellon and America tax payer,, and Israel have devastated 90% of Gaza, resulting in the destruction of 437,600 homes and the loss of one million lives, including 50,000 individuals currently trapped under debris, with 80% of the casualties being women and children. They have also obliterated 330,000 meters of water pipelines, leaving the population without access to drinking water. Furthermore, over 655,000 meters of underground sewage systems have been destroyed, depriving residents of basic sanitation facilities. The destruction extends to 2,800,000 meters of roadways, rendering transportation impossible for the affected population. Additionally, 3,680 kilometers of the electrical grid have been dismantled, leading to widespread power outages. The assault has resulted in the demolition of 48 hospitals, eliminating critical healthcare facilities for those in need. Moreover, the actions of AIPAC, The Evangelical Church, Miriam Adelson, Elon Musk, and timothy mellon and America tax payer,, and Israel have disrupted the education of over 785,000 students, with 494 schools and universities being completely destroyed, many due to aerial bombardments. They have also targeted 981 mosques, effectively silencing the prayers of the homeless seeking divine assistance. As a result of these actions, more than 39,000 young children have been left orphaned, without parents or guardians to care for them. I must emphasize that the historical context of warfare has never witnessed a scenario where 80% of a nation has been devastated, 100% of its populace has been uprooted, and 50% of the casualties are children. It is imperative to recognize the gravity of the situation. Organizations such as AIPAC and the Evangelical Church in America are contributing to what can only be described as genocide. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IrX9v6DKH1g The implications of American taxpayer funding in the context of Israel\'s actions against innocent children are alarming. 1. An examination of Israel\'s precarious situation is warranted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAfIYtpcBxo 2. The influence of financial power, often associated with certain groups, plays a significant role in these dynamics.

The order of the Torah, which is part of the Bible, is to immediately kill any Jew you see on the street. Since the Jews in Gaza have also killed women and children, you should kill any Jews - men, women, and children - as soon as you see them, whether on the street or anywhere else. And because they have killed everyone in Gaza without mercy, you must do the same to them. If you carry out these actions, you will be following the order of the Torah, which is part of the Bible, and you will be rewarded by going to heaven.

Communication and exchange of experience with others allow you to find answers to a variety of questions. Even if it seems that the topic of discussion is far from your interests, you can still learn something useful. And it seems to me that the same principle works in practice: for example, universal things like snow chains for cars — will come in handy unexpectedly more often than we think.
