VC runs down memory lane
Born in a small village of Mannarkadu in Palakkad district, Dr.Jayakrishnan,Vice Chancellor of the University of Kerala has nostalgic memories of Onam. As a little boy he waited impatiently for the closure of his school for the onam vacation, because he could play football with his fellow mates, from dawn to dusk.He recollects how they had to manage with a little rubber ball since they could not afford to buy a football.
The banana chips and all the Onam delicacies were very precious to him as it was available only during the festive season. He also recollected how he used to offer prayers to Thrikkakara Appan during Onam days. The V C mentioned that the present day Onam is becomig more consumerised. This year he will be celebrating Onam with his daughter in Bangalore.
