Gentle Giant departs...

An integral part of Thrissur town ,the slowly walking giant in kakhi shirt and white mundu wearing an innocent smile, Painadan Kurian Rappai ,affectionately known as theetta Rappai passed away this saturday in Thrissur. Well known for his huge appetite and gentle manners alike ,Rappai attracted the love and affection from all agegroups. A regular at the Bharat hotel ,Rappai enjoyed free food from almost all the hotels in the town.

Another famous figure ,very regular in the Round South-Ragam-Bharath area, was Nawab Rajendran. Though both are entirely different in their appearances and attitudes, I can not forget the Nawab ,whenever I think of the former. People loved and respected both of them for what they are.

Nawab left us recently ;now Rappai Chettan too.
