Ramazan in Mansoon: ‘Aruval’ is so wet

Ramzan periods bestowed me with lot of interesting experiences which tickle my memories with everlasting emotions.

It is a small silly village’ Aruval’ from the foggy villages in wayanad. The people who live here are not too rich. Most of them were rowing their life by labor works. Then also, it becomes remarkable when the Ramzan banquets us with the monsoon continuously. Definitely, it gives me a plenty of unforgettable experiences and memories.

Whenever the Moon rises in Ramzan at 5’O clock, believers begins to give more sense to the Adan. Everybody gathers with caps from different parts of the village and fills the Swaff (an order in Mosques for doing prayer) of Masjid. People who may perpetrate by drinking wines before Ramadan will participate with pious in prayers. As well as the devils will also surrender on the gleam picture of human face with belief.

Now I remember one of those Ramzan daysby which the monsoon exploded each and every paddy fields of my village. Everybody feared a lot whether they sink in water due to flood and craved very much to end sufferings and ramblings of flood. Even though the village was sinking in the flood, people find time for attending the prayer in Masjid. There are some unforgettable memories of participation with my father in masjid with a small vessel for performing Subah namaz in those foggy nights. The cold made us like an iceman. Most of the times, I used to masjid with my companions in ‘pandy’ by which we will plant plants by our own hands as a good deed. There are hundreds of huge relations and comparisons between Ramzan and Mansoon which was visible on those foggy nights, in the ‘puthushery kadavu’ river near by my home with a plenty of small slices of lights.

It was another experience for me that the people engage with discussions in those nights, after performing the Tharaveeh namaz. Everybody takes different kinds of nets named ‘veeshuvala’ ‘kuthuvala’ and will walkout from home for engaging in fishing with pandies up to subah azan. Finally, I would like to say that I have never tasted anything tasty rather than the feelings of river
