MY SECOND RETIREMENT AND PREM NAZIR

I retired first in May 2012. This is the story of my second retirement 'sometime in 2013'.........sort of  retired hurt.

This second retirement in just over an year of the first has nothing to do with the superstar of the yore of the  Malayalam silver screen. Yet I thought it appropriate to use his name as it was the most inappropriate thing to do ! Well,..... disorder being the order ....... you know. Even nonsensical things are appreciated and glorified out of proportions if they carry nice captions. For instance, record some meaningless gyrations of your shapeless body and post it on the you tube with a catching caption like "Kannan style" or "Kannappan style", the thing goes viral.  Recently Renjan showed me a comparison. The pictures of puppies were viewed and highly appreciated by lakhs of viewers. and there were 700 viewers for the "Endoro Mahanubhavulu" in Sree Ragam  played on the violin by the Maestro Lalgudi Jayaraman !

So my second retirement.  I cannot say that I was re employed as re employment fetches you a salary. Yet I felt extremely happy when I was called back to the Physics dept of CMS college. And I was again among young PG students. I could not resume those 8 A.M classes as the new students felt it a little too much and we settled for a 9 A.M start. And the classes went on and on and on as it used to be in the (g)olden days. I enjoyed and the students were very happy. But ....... . I realised that I cannot work with dignity and I quit. Thus my second retirement. In some earlier post I have described my first retirement when at 4 P.M of May 31st, 2012 I walked down the stairs with none to see me off ........ an uneventful departure.
But this time things were very different. Very colourful and vociferous.
There were all kinds of 'cards' to send me off.
Yellow, red, vibgyor, which I (I alone) could see. And there was this four parts harmony, which I (I alone) could hear. "Never come back, never again".
Clairvoyance ??? I do not know.

Now how come Prem Nazir? No way ! But I have to find out a way.

During the mid eighties the mimicry artists were still very apologetic on the stage. Their 'samhara thandavom' started by the nineties. For most mimicry artists Prem Nazir was the theme for their atrocity.  Prem Nazir was very soft even in stunt scenes unlike,say, Mohan Lal who has lightning movements planting heavy blows on the hapless villain. In a show an artist mimicking  Nazir walks gently towards the villain and plants a mild blow ( a gentle tap )  on his chest. And naturally the villain falls down and remains motionless. Prem Nazir walks back gently rubbing his palms and looking to the infinity  proclaims, "Pavam chathu poyi" (poor fellow died). But on turning back Prem Nazir finds the villain struggling to stand up. He walks up to the villain and plants another gentle blow (tap) and the man is again motionless. And the final proclamation from Prem Nazir. "Paavam veendum chathu poyi".(poor fellow died again) !!!

And my second retirement justifies the title?? (Pavam veendum retired)
I not only retired but also retired !
