One Fine day we visited SkyWalk Chennai: a shopping mall. As soon we entered the mall, we noticed, a man seems to be a Sadhu(Sanyasi) with long beard and long hair wearing saffron color dress sitting at the entrance. He was prompting something now and then seems to be a “Akhanda Nama Japa”(chanting a mantra incessantly without break, day in and day out). For passers-by, he was an awe.My eyes focused on that man. I met him somewhere: my mind prompted. I tried to recollect the place and people I traveled and met from my childhood. "Eureka!" "Eureka!" "Eureka!" I knew that man, He is Appu Kuttan. It had been a long time I did not hear anything about him. I really got astonished the way he had changed and the luster comes from his face and his body. But how could the same Appu Kuttan changed that much was a mystery for me then. Long back, he showed me his profile while applying for a labour work. His Profile flashed over my mind then ....

I really got astonished with his Bio-Data. The Objective was irrelevant to the job he was applying for. He answered me, one should project oneself infront of the interviewer, more than that, if he desired to become PM then only he would get that Job(that was his ideology). Next , my eyes stopped at his educational qualification level. How he passed his 4th standard 5th time without attempting. Appu Kuttan, passed a confident smile on his face and as a proud man he said. While entered for the 5th time to write the examination, the teacher came to him and cried infront of him and requested in low and humble voice “My Dear Appu Kutta, kindly sign at respective places and follow me. This time you will pass”. Appu Kuttan as an obedient student followed teacher till the door step after signing all the places where teacher asked him to sign. After that , teacher told Appu Kuttan do not follow her and teacher went back. The teacher did not want to say “Get Out” to Appu Kuttan, who was a highly experienced and respectable and most senior person in 4th standard. But, the humble Appu Kuttan waited for teacher till the examination time got over. He met teacher after the examination time and she told Appu Kuttan, this time you would pass. But Please Please Please, do not enter school premises. Teacher also promised that If she had any doubt in 4th standard subjects , she would call Appu Kuttan. After that incident, somehow Appu Kuttan wanted to be engaged, so he started his ACTIVITIES as in his profile. Mean while Appu Kuttan improved his analytical and logic skills by counting number of Ladies/Women coming to temple. In the long run, he found that every year there was a drastic decrease in the number of Ladies coming to temple. Appu Kuttan lost his interest in his ACTIVITIES. But, he was curious to know, why there was a drastic decrease in the head count of Ladies to temples. After that he traveled most of the Indian States to find the reason for the same and meanwhile he found a guru to practice some Yoga lessons. When he found the reason that, most of the Ladies/Women were now visiting Shopping Mall instead of temples in the evenings, Appu Kuttan really got furious. They invited Appu Kuttan’s loathe. Appu Kuttan still thinks, these shopping malls made his activities to stop. He was leading a simple life at his home town to his best of punctuality. That was the reason for Appu Kuttan to be infront of SkyWalk.
I had seen he was making his stomach up and down, it seemed to be a yogic activities. Then he was crossing his legs behind the head. I thought loudly “well done !!! Appu Kuttan …You are the real hero ...teaching the world …how to survive with enthusiasm and energetic ...I am a big fan of You". I reached him with admiration and called loudly “Appu Kutta”. Do you remember me??? Appu Kuttan’s Face became so reddish and Pale. I did not know why his face became pale? Was that I knew about his Past or the Way I called his name in that open place. As an answer to my question, some foreigner came and touched his feet and revered him “ His Holiness” . I understood his position. I called him with great reverence “His Holiness A.P. Kuttan”. Whoever came after me called him as “His Holiness A.P.Kuttan”. Then, Appu Kuttan became proud of that name(Sorry His Holiness A.P Kuttan). He spend some time with me and told me he was on a fast to achieve something. I enquired him how long he had been on fast. He replied, it was the Tenth month. First he started his fasting with some Agendas, Then he realized, he could not continue his fasting without Air Conditioning(AC) since the climate was making him so dehydrated. After that, he fasted for the doors nearby he was sitting at Mall to open so that he would get AC. Then, he realized, he need some food and rest. So he made his fasting to agitate thousands so that, he would be arrested and put him in jail. When I met him, he had finished all those journey. Then , again he was back with all his agendas.
Agenda Number 1) Thousands of Ladies/Women who had been attracted my shopping mall should come back to Temples Premises at Evening times.
Agenda Number 2) If they were not willing, then all the shopping malls and cinemas should move to near to Temple Premises.
His agenda went like that as a long list of recipe. What I felt hearing all those is He was leading a Third Freedom Struggle, Since he wanted to save all men because, the expenses of men also increased drastically since thousands of Ladies/Women moved to visit Shopping Mall. Basically “His Holiness A.P Kuttan” is fighting for all those younger generation from degrading and holding them from brain drain.
When I was leaving him, I was caught in many thoughts about “His Holiness” future. At least I was sure he would get a seat in the nearby election and must become down the line the “Prime Minister Of India”. May be the day is not far to be called him “His Highness A.P.K(?) ”

Defamation: Is It Destined?
Everything in this world happens with perfect designed and in an organized way. There is a pattern at which everything happens around us. If we found out that pattern, that would make our life very smoother. This is true with DEFAMATION too. I am trying to delineate the way defamation acts on people in its own pattern. First let it be a fable of a dog: Ceasar which explains the way defamation patter acts on us and then the reasons for it.How to overcome the evil effect of defamation is upon the us once we know the reasons for the same.
Once a man happened to visit a home, where they had a pet named Ceasar. Everybody loved Ceasar because of its loyalty to its owner and the way it had been trained. As usual, Ceasar also kept its boundaries for strangers and will bark at them whoever crosses that. This man did not liked the way Ceasar barked at him and he got insulted and basically he did not have any attachment to pets. He talked with the householders his purpose of his visit and talked nicely and praised about their Ceasar more than anybody would do. Later he went out to the next shop and say about the dog behaviour as unusal. He also emphasized that he had seen many dogs and he himself has many dogs, however, he slandered that dog had the characteristics of a mad dog. Everybody did the way the stanger did and dog bark at them. Everybody confirmed the dog was mad and thought of killing him even though the householders could not protect it, since majority were against the Ceasar now. This is known as "Calling the dog mad and kicking it nicely till it die". As long as the Ceasar were to be nice, the stranger could not do any revenge on it. Better thing is make the dog mad and then do whatever he wanted. He succeeded in that. Actually the owner of the dog had trained the Ceasar in a particular way and only the stranger could understood and observed it and the Ceasar had been caught.
Usually defamation happens due to mainly three reasons. Primarly, the statement is the result of anger, jealousy, resentment, grudges, quarrels, ill-will or other conflict between us and the person making the statement. A Mangalore Girl who had been scoring good in academically and top in extracurricular activities had been cheated by her own friends and posted a morphed video of her in the network and spreaded like a wild fire and got defamed. This Defamation caused by Libel. She is all alone stuggling to come out of it. When we are doing a smooth sail in our life, these type of merciless incident takes its turn. There is another incident which happened with a priest in Bangalore, where people called him mad and after 35 years of his suffering the court verdict said, he was perfectly a normal person. This is caused by defamation due to slander. Another incident happened, where a teacher commited suicide just people spread rumours that there is an unethical relation between the teacher and the boy. Though that has been clarified by people at later stage that teacher was innocent , by then she was dead. There are many way defamation takes its turn, however the pattern is mostly of the pet Ceaser.
Secondly, self publishing a defamatory statements which the other person has told us to mend our actions. suppose your boss brings you into his or her office and informs you that you are no longer needed because he suspects that you are a drinker and he states that he does not regard you as competent in your work. Suppose further that your employer makes these comments only to your direct manager, and repeats these comments to no one outside the company. Suppose after your boss informs you of these "facts," you feel compelled to tell your fellow employees what has happened to you. After all, everyone wants to know. Under these circumstances the employee himself publishes the defamatory statements.
Thirdly, the relation between the supervisor and employee is not going well. Mostly, in such scenario, It may not be a direct statement. Such case, when the supervisor or the employer talk about such employee to other employees in the same company or to a prospective new employer a gestures, or tone of voice, or a raising of an eyebrow which could make a misreprentation. The listener make to believe something untruthful or misleading about the employee. This would have a longstanding derogartory remark on him and damage him totally.
We have education, knowledge, experience and wisdom. Still we do not know we have the right to protect our reputation much stronger than anything else. Defamation may be caused by a false attack of another’ss statement or action on our character or our self image created over a long period of time which may be verbally or non-verbally. This would cause hatred, contempt, disgrace upon us from the very society we live. Moreover, would cause an blackmark in our occupation too. When we reapeat a lie ten times , that is supposed to believe as truth and could not be found the original source of such slanders which makes the society believe we lack integrity, honesty, incompetence, or that we possess other reprehensible personal characteristics.
Though current mantra seems to be “If character is lost, nothing is lost; if wealth is lost everything is lost”; we should still believe the importance of our character and personality transcends any other measure of success of our existence. Here is the dictum we should strongly believe in and remember in our day to day life.
"If wealth is lost, nothing is lost. If health is lost, something is lost. But, if character is lost, everything is lost."
