Which incident shook you?
56-year-old Jayanandan said, ‘One day while waiting to be hanged, I was going through a village in Kottayam in a police jeep. On the way I saw a young blind woman, who had an innocent child on her shoulder and the woman was holding her father’s hand. He was tired. But that scene shocked me. That old man was helping that blind woman. After that scene where I was waiting for death, many thoughts about life came to my mind. Only after this I got inspiration to write the novel Pulariviriyum Munpe. I even had the thought of donating my eyes to that blind woman after my death.
This novel tells the story of a man named Chidambaran, who is awaiting death in Kannur Central Jail. The novel was launched by retired Justice Narayana Kurup in the presence of Jayanandan. Recently, Jayanandan was granted parole by the Kerala High Court to attend the function. His 26 year old daughter Kirti is a lawyer. He himself cross-examined his father in front of the court for his parole petition.
