Chackosar

Chackosar



Originally from a middle class family, Chackosar was a force to reckon with for the feudal lords of Adoor during the initial years of the communist movement in Kerala. While working as a Teacher in government school, he was also a dedicated activist of the communist movement. After the split of Communist Party of India in 1964, he joined the right wing Communist Party of India (CPI). As CPI was in close association with Congress party during the Achutha Menon regime in the early seventies, Chackosar gradually accepted Congress party and its policies. The declaration of emergency by Mrs.Indira Gandhi made Chackosar a supporter of Indira Gandhi and Indian National Congress. He believed that unlimited freedom should not be part and parcel of a democratic system. Especially in India, he believed that certain limitations on individual freedom were necessary to curb the anti-social elements. He thought Indira Gandhi's emergency was just the way out. He envisioned an India free of atrocities and crimes against the poor unorganized mass. Chackosar emphasized on building an India where people are more dedicated to their duties rather than rights. Chackosar simply believed that the emergency of Indira Gandhi would convert India to a disciplined country like U.S.S.R and China of that time.
According to Chackosar, Communism is a way of life. It is a mind-set. He knew that many members of the communist parties were not actual communists as they were leading luxury life style. On the other hand, he spotted many communists in Congress and other parties.
As such, people of Adoor knew that Chackosar was a hard core communist till his death though he was an office holder in the Congress party at the assembly constituency level. He led a very simple life. He was a giver rather than a taker. Forgetting his own needs, he used to divert a major portion of his modest monthly income by way of service pension for supporting a bunch of poor people he cared for.

ജീവിക്കാൻ മറന്നുപോയ അബ്ദുൽ ഖാദറിൻ്റെ  കഥ ഒരു പുരുഷായുസ്സ് മുഴുവൻ അധ്വാനിച്ചുണ്ടാക്കിയ പണം സ്വന്തമായി സംരംഭങ്ങൾ ആരംഭിക്കുവാനായി ഉപയോഗിച്ചു പണി വാങ്ങിക്കൂട്ടിയ പലരും എൻ്റെ  സുഹൃത്തുക്കളായിട്ടുണ്ട്. എന്നോടൊപ്പം 10 വർഷക്കാലം ജിദ്ദയിൽ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്ന എൻ്റെ  സുഹൃത്ത് അബ്ദുൽ ഖാദർ ഒരു നല്ല ഉദാഹരണമാണ്. (വ്യക്തിപരമായ സ്വകാര്യത പരിഗണിച്ചു എൻ്റെ  സുഹൃത്തിൻ്റെ  ഇവിടെ കൊടുക്കുന്ന പേരും സ്ഥലവും ഫോട്ടോയും യഥാർത്ഥത്തിലുള്ളതല്ല.) 21 വയസ്സുള്ളപ്പോൾ, 1970 കളുടെ ആരംഭത്തിൽ സൗദി അറേബ്യയിലേക്ക് ചേക്കേറിയതാണ് അബ്ദുൽ ഖാദർ. 1996 ൽ ഞങ്ങൾ ജിദ്ദയിൽ കണ്ടുമുട്ടുമ്പോൾ അബ്ദുൽ ഖാദറിന് 46 വയസ്സുണ്ടായിരുന്നു. 2003 ൽ അദ്ദേഹം പ്രവാസ ജീവിതം മതിയാക്കി നാട്ടിലേക്കു പോന്നു. അതിനു മുൻപ് തന്നെ മകളുടെ വിവാഹം നടത്തി. മകൾ ഭർത്താവിനോടൊപ്പം ഇംഗ്ലണ്ടിൽ ആയിരുന്നു. മകൻ നഴ്സിംഗ് പഠിച്ചതിനു ശേഷം മലപ്പുറം, കോഴിക്കോട് ജില്ലകളിലെ പല ആശുപത്രികളിലും ജോലിചെയ്ത് റിയാദിൽ സർക്കാർ ആശുപത്രിയിൽ ജോലിക്കു കയറി.

The Four Chemicals of Happiness: Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins

  Happiness is not just a fleeting emotion—it is a complex biochemical process driven by four key neurotransmitters: dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. These chemicals, often called the "happiness hormones," play a crucial role in shaping our mood, motivation, and overall well-being. Understanding how these chemicals work can help us take conscious steps to enhance our happiness naturally. 1. Dopamine – The Reward Chemical Dopamine is often called the "feel-good" neurotransmitter because it is associated with motivation, pleasure, and reward. It plays a crucial role in goal achievement, learning, and reinforcing behaviors that bring pleasure.

It is also linked to the anticipation of rewards, which is why we feel excited when we are close to achieving something important. Ways to Boost Dopamine Naturally: Set...

Smart Retirement Planning

Story of a Wasted Retirement Life I have many friends who invested their entire life's earnings into starting their own businesses and ended up facing significant challenges. One such example is my friend Abdul Khader, who lived with me in Jeddah for ten years. (To maintain the privacy of my friend, the name, place and photo given here are not real.) Abdul Khader moved to Saudi Arabia in the early 1970s when he was just 21 years old. When we met in Jeddah in 1996, he was 46. After 33 years of working abroad, he returned to India in 2003, having already arranged his daughter's marriage. His daughter lived in England with her husband, and his son, after completing nursing, secured a job at a government hospital in Riyadh. മലയാളത്തിൽ വായിക്കാം When his wife was left alone in a big house, Abdul Khader decided to return home. Along with a substantial amount from his company as retirement benefit, he also had a significant sum saved over the years. Not wanting to sit idle at home, he...
