An Inspiring Moment shared with Team 1 – Nandakumar Perimpilavil
An Inspiring Moment shared with Team 1 – Nandakumar Perimpilavil
My Motto(s): In every stage of life we need to have a plan which is practical and possible to execute. I like to practise setting up daily targets in life whether it is at the work front or at home which will take you to achieve eventual targets in life.
Considerations for others, a receptive attitude and willingness to learn from mistakes make one’s path to achieve one’s aims easy and comfortable – a theory I believed always.
Sharing the views with and convincing others is an art and mutually beneficial.
Setting up goals in life is not an easy task. One really has to think and set realistic goals. This starts from the early days of one’s life. Right from childhood one hears about setting goals. During school days parents and teachers guide you to channel your talents and aptitude in the right direction. But I do not believe in forcing a child to achieve goals which are unrealistic or not in line with his or her natural talents or aptitude. Children should not be compelled to opt for an art or sport or subject which he/she has no genuine interest in. It is all about identifying their capabilities and tastes and accordingly groom them to set goals.
Getting organised in your daily life with a fair amount of discipline will make your journey in life a lot more easier. One need to have that will power though for same. I try to do the same . Disappointments at times and setbacks are natural and we need to take them into our stride while thriving to learn from mistakes and achieve what we are hoping for. Whatever you do in life ensure to enjoy every moment of it and cherish your memories.
Nandakumar Perimpilavil, or “Nanduvettan”, for all his friends and well wishers, started career as a Bank officer in India and then moved over to airline field. He is in charge of Finance & Admin for Middle East for more than a decade now for Srilankan Airlines. A brilliant student during his school and college days, he was school first for SSLC and did his degree education with distinction. His activities did not remain within the class room. He was active in cricket, chess and carroms in school and college and sang for a troupe in the 90s. The interest continued and recently he sang for a programme called Ninavu in Kairali. Music is passion for him and to an extent cricket too. He considers music as divine and universal that which takes you to a serene world where all your pains are removed by it’s power.
Nandakumar lives in Sharjah with his wife Suvarna Nandakumar, a graduate in Maths and a perfect partner with equal or more interest in music. Their daughter Mrinalini is a student of DPS Sharjah in Gr 8. She is also a student of Kathak and Classical music and plays Basketball with interest.

തീര്ത്ഥക്കരയിലെ ചെമ്പടമേളം കൂടല്മാണിക്യത്തിന്റെ മാത്രം
ഉത്സവം- ക്ഷേത്രകലകള്ക്ക് ആസ്വാദകരേറെ
ഉത്സവം- ക്ഷേത്രകലകള്ക്ക് ആസ്വാദകരേറെ
Author : – സ്വന്തം ലേഖകന് www.irinjalakuda.com
ഇരിങ്ങാലക്കുട : കൂടല്മാണിക്യം ക്ഷേത്രോത്സവത്തോടനുബന്ധിച്ച് അരങ്ങേറുന്ന ക്ഷേത്രകലകള്ക്ക് ആസ്വാദകരേറെയാണ്. രാവിലത്തെ ശീവേലി കഴിഞ്ഞാല് ഉടന് കിഴക്കേ നടപ്പുരയില് ഓട്ടന്തുള്ളലും ശീതങ്കന് തുള്ളലും അരങ്ങേറും.ഇതില് കല്ല്യാണ സൗഗന്ധികവും, സഭാപ്രവേശവും, ഗരുഡ ഗര്വഭംഗവും തന്മയത്വത്തോടെ അവതരിപ്പിക്കുന്നത് നന്തിപുലം പി.കെ.നീലകണ്ഠനും സംഘവുമാണ്. കല്യാണ സൗഗന്ധികത്തിലെ ഹാസ്യപ്രധാനങ്ങളായ സന്ദര്ഭങ്ങളെ അവതരിപ്പിക്കുമ്പോള് കൂടി നില്ക്കുന്നവരില് ചിരിപടരും. കൂത്തമ്പലത്തോട് ചേര്ന്ന സന്ധ്യാവേല പന്തലില് മദ്ദളപറ്റ്, കൊമ്പുപറ്റ്, നാദസ്വരം എന്നിവയും ആസ്വദിക്കേണ്ട കാഴ്ചയാണ്. കിഴക്കേ ഗോപുരനടയില് ചെണ്ടയുടെ താളലയമായ തായമ്പകയും മികച്ചതുതന്നെ. സന്ധ്യാസമയത്ത് കൂത്തമ്പലത്തില് അമ്മന്നൂര് കൂടിയാട്ട പാരമ്പര്യത്തിന്റെ പൈതൃകം വിളിച്ചോതുന്ന ചാക്യാര്കൂത്തു കാണാന് ആളുകള് അഴികള്ക്കുള്ളിലൂടെ ആകാംക്ഷയോടെ എത്തിനോക്കും.പടിഞ്ഞാറേ പ്രദക്ഷിണ വഴിയില് അരങ്ങേറുന്ന പാഠകവും ആളുകളെ ചുറ്റും കൂടി നിര്ത്തും. തലയില് ചുവപ്പു പട്ടുമായി കൊടുങ്ങല്ലൂര് കോവിലകത്തെ നന്ദകുമാര് രാജയാണ് പാഠകം അവതരിപ്പിക്കുന്നത്. ഇതേസമയം നടക്കുന്ന പടിഞ്ഞാറെ നടപ്പുരയിലെ കുറത്തിയാട്ടവും ക്ഷേത്രത്തിലെത്തുന്നവര്ക്ക് പ്രിയമാണ്.
