Thoovanathumbikal and Thrissur

I have a fascination for the temple town of Thrissur .My best summer vacation after i finished my 6'th standard annual exam was spent there. The Thrissur slang ,the Thrissur Round,Vadakkunnathan temple, the speeding buses ,Thrissur Pooram,Nandappettan's friends are unforgettable memories.This time when i went with Dad, many old timers remembered the 12 year old kid from Coimbatore who sat under the Banyan tree eating mangoes ,watching the buses race each other .I was trying to pick up Malayalam reading the names of buses those days...

After 2 years of wait i get to see this classic again.I sat up till 3 a.m to download the movie yesterday . Every time I see this flick there is a sense of contentment .I think the climax has a lot to do with this . The movies keeps haunting me for hours after i watch it and this happens every single time. Especiallly the background score when Jayakrishnan first sees Clara in the rains ..wow !

Padmarajan's characterization of Jayakrishnan is flawless. There are shades of Jayakrishnan in every male . The degrees vary but I am sure every guy has his list of first's and no matter how many seconds and third's happen the first's will remain special and unforgettable . I coudn't help feeling nostalgic ..I am satisfied yet another time .
