Adujeevitham - Benny Daniel



Me n Boz believe in barter system. I mean, the exchange of gossip n news. I trade juicy n spicy gossip n info about movies n books for local, Kerala, Indian n International news. The other day Boz discusses about the discovery of a dead body in the desert and  the plight of maids n laborers and in turn I share Benyamin's Adujeevitham. I pride myself as an excellent storyteller. It's so important that the storyteller should be impartial n detached. But I fail numerous times esp when Hakkim breathes his last and when Najeeb comes to know that his master is not his sponsor. Oh, boy !



This kind of stories are not rare in this part of the world. The ayahs, maids, laborers n drivers have unbelievable n horrifying stories to tell. Then, what makes this story different? The narration, the beautiful writing style, the bitter sense of humor and the pathos ethos n logos of  communication.

Read n ruminate. You can't help but count your blessings....
