മ്ലേച്ചതയുടെയും, അധര്മ്മത്തിന്റെയും, വെറും "തറ" യായ രീതികളുടെയും കാര്യത്തില് നമ്മുടെ അച്ചന്മാരെ കേരള പോലീസിനോട് ഉപമിച്ചാലോ എന്ന് ചിലപ്പോള് തോന്നാറുണ്ട്. പക്ഷെ പോലീസ് അതൊരു insult ആയി എടുക്കും. പിന്നെ അവരെന്നെ എടുത്തിട്ടിടിക്കും. അതുകൊണ്ട് തല്ക്കാലം അത് ചെയ്യുന്നില്ല.
എങ്കിലും മനുഷ്യന് ചീപ്പ് ആയാലും ഇത്രയ്ക്കു ചീപ് ആകുമോ? പ്രത്യേകിച്ചും അച്ചന്മാര്! അതും ഒരു വികാരി!
വിഷയം ഞായറാഴ്ചയിലെ അച്ഛന്റെ അറിയിപ്പുകളില് ഒന്നാണ്. പലര്ക്കും മനസ്സില് തോന്നിയ കാര്യം ഞങ്ങള് തുറന്നു ചോദിക്കുന്നു എന്ന് മാത്രം.
നമ്മുടെ ഇടവകയിലെ ഒരംഗത്തിന് ഒരു കുട്ടിയുണ്ടായി. ആദ്യത്തെയല്ല. രണ്ടാമത്തെ. അത് ലോകരെ മുഴുവന് അറിയിക്കുവാന് ആദ്ദേഹം പൈസ മുടക്കി മംഗളത്തില് ഒരു എമണ്ടന് കളര് ഫോട്ടോയും പരസ്യവും കൊടുക്കുകയും ചെയ്തു.
അത് പോരാഞ്ഞിട്ട് ചര്ച്ച് ബുള്ളറ്റിനിലും ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു അറിയിപ്പ്.
അതും പോരാഞ്ഞിട്ട് കുര്ബാനയ്ക്ക് ശേഷം അച്ഛന് ഒരു പ്രത്യേക വിളിച്ചു പറച്ചിലും, കുഞ്ഞിനെ പോക്കിക്കാട്ടലും നടത്തി.
അസൂയ കൊണ്ടു ചോദിക്കുന്നതല്ല. ഈ കുഞ്ഞ് എന്താ, ഉണ്ണിയീശോ മറ്റോ ആണോ? അതോ അത്ഭുത ശിശുവോ? എനിക്കിതിന്റെ പൊരുള് മനസ്സിലാകുന്നില്ല. സീറോ മലബാറിലെ മി. വീരപ്പന് ഒരു കുട്ടിയുണ്ടായത്തില് എന്താണിത്ര പുത്താരം? ഇവിടെ പലര്ക്കും കുഞ്ഞുങ്ങള് ജനിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്, ജനിക്കുന്നുണ്ട്, ഇനി ജനിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യും. അതൊക്കെ പരസ്യം ചെയ്യുവാന് ബുള്ളറ്റിനില് ഇടവും വിളിച്ചു പറയുവാന് അച്ചന് നേരവും ഉണ്ടാകുമെന്ന് പ്രതീക്ഷിക്കുന്നു.
ഫാദര് ആന്റണി ഒരു rent-a-priest ആയി തരം താണിരിക്കുന്നു. അതില് അശേഷം സംശയമില്ല.

Our cathedral bullettin is a big joke now...Extremely needed information is not included in the bullettin...The announcement about the new born baby was ridiculous....What happened to fr. antony, he is out of mind. We dont have enough time to intrepret the bible, but have time to entertain these kind of stupids
i could not belive my ears during fr. antony's announcements. Is he this stupid or what? Why this veerappan's baby so special? This community deserves better spiritual leadership.
Hello Church Mouse, congratulations! You are 100% right on this matter.
This Veerappan chettan was acting like a youth for a long time. Shame on him. How come this jocker in his 40's be in youth organisations and youth activities?
I totally agree with the Voice. Why Fr Antony so interested in the birth of Veerappan baby? Is he a baby Jesus, not a baby Veerappan? Why it took so long to have the second one??
Thanks to V----A !!
I don't agree with the above comments. People being asked to stoodup for their Bdays and Marriage Anniversaries. Whats the big deal in this. And some of you people are jelous and acting crazy.
I used to read your artcles and they had some quality. Why people are so interested in somebody's personal matter. It looks like you do not have any subject to discuss. Shame on you folks. Please write something worthy.
Very correct
What is the hungama about all this. Theeppantham, you never should have posted this kind of an article insulting a family. I hope you also have a family and you may have kids. I beleive that the same way we enjoy your articles, we may be started disliking your posts if you start potraying individuals in such ways.
I know this person whom you are refering and he is not my friend or anything. However it was not right the way you wrote the post. You need to rethink twise prior posting an article because there is a large mass read your artcles now.
Meesha Guy
Hey Blog writers, why are you thrashing him for having a Baby. I hope the younger one is fine and he will be part of our community. I sincerely welcoming him to our church family.
I am an young adult in the church and I like your Meesha man. Keep it and do not loose it. Others do not have the guts to do the styles. And the way you dress and come to church, that is the way it should be. Church is the place you wear your best clothes and be your best. And I think you are doing a fabulous job. Our Achayans wear some off design clothes and have their wives deckup to come to church. And they are just jealous and being the same bitching husband and hence being called as the “Saree Thungies”. I am not surprised since I know little bit of our Kerala Culture. The same “Spider Syndrom” where you do not like the other person being good and if you are good, they will start kicking you from back.
So Guys, my requests
1. Wear some Good Clothes when you come to church.
2. Puts some decent colons so that I can sit near by you. Because most of the time you sting.
3. Ask your wife to buy some good shirts when she buys 10 expensive sarees. That way, you can also wear some nice dress while coming to the church.
4. Be a man and start respecting your kids. Just because your father did not respect you does not mean that you should do the same to your kids.
Finally, stop writing about the Meesha Guy. Because to us young adults, he is a decent guy and he respect us as the young adults and we like him.
To Zero Mal Voice and their Fans
Please don't harrass anybody by their name or any Nick name, which totally embarassing. I don't find anything wrong in congratulating him for his new born baby. If you don't like it, just ignore it. Please don't drag his name and his family to this 'Yellow site'.
Your critisism should be in a gentle manner, otherwise this site will be considered as a 'porn site'
I agree with voice. When vicar announced the baby veerappan news in public it is in public domain. We have 100s of babys born to our members. None came in the bullettin. None was announced during mass. So there is a question as to what is so special about this particular case.
Yes, new members are welcomed in our church. Wedding anniversaries and birthdays too. But not individually. And only on a monthly basis.
Furthermore voice did not pick on poor veerappan. The point was vicars misuse of the pulpit for frivolus personal favors. Whatever anybody says, singling out one baby for public adulation was improper.I say either vicar should make this a tradition or cease and desist doing cheap publicity for his adoring stooges.
Adding to "I wish My Name" comment
The parents, ministers and other people are welcomed in the church in a WEEKLY basis not monthly. So there is nothing wrong with a Baby announcement. And more importantly, a baby arrival is much significant than the Birthdays and family welcomes.
Questions:
Did any of you ask Fr Antony to announce such kind of announcements? Did any of you request birth announcements in bulletin? I think one person started the tradition and Voice is crucifying that person and Fr Antony.
Announce your new baby arrrival in the church and bulletin if you think its important to you. If you are unsure about the fatherhood, do not do so.
Kuddos to Veerappan Chettan. I will follow you when I have my kid.
I think veerappan supporters in this matter are paid coolies. I'm happy. We have our own veerappan. So when is veerappan goiong to have a party. All the parishoners will be invited, I hope.
Hey Khan
You made absolute sense man.
Anyway, It was some sharp points you asked in the last comment and it made lots of sense. I am trying to add some more sense to this because I had a baby recently and to me my Baby is very precious. And as a proud parent I take this subject very personal and writing this to support the person, who bold to announce it. ( I did not ask Achan to do mine, but I will do for my next one provided that I am blessed )
There is this guy “Ve...” who was happy and he cared to announce his baby birth and now people are all over on him. It makes sense to say, as we mallus most of us do not even care if we have a baby..
The thought process goes like this… Yeah the kid is born... Now I have to make some money to raise him. That’s the attitude many of the people have. And they are the people think or write negative about this subject.
If you re-think, having a Baby is the Most Important Occasion in Your Life. And if you do not respect that, there is nothing can be done. And if you feel negative about the announcement in the church there is something you got to ask yourself. What is wrong with me? Am I doing justice to my own baby/kid?
I salute you man who courageously announced his baby’s birth and showed a good moral to other Mallus. And I absolutely respect Fr Antony to do such a splendid work. And I encourage Fr Antony to continue to announce the Baby Announcements if anybody asks for.
We make mistakes and we learn from lessons. You need be a true gentleman to accept the fact that you are WRONG. And correcting from that mistake is the pride lesson you need to learn and that is the way you show the world that you are reliable.
SYRO MALBAR VOICE - it’s time to do an apology by a Public POST. Accepting the wrong doing will raise your credibility only and it will never decreases your popularity.
And GUYS, Lets congratulate that gentleman, his family for being blessed with God’s Gift. And let’s congratulate the future parents with all our Hearts. After All Babies R Angels and congratulating a proud parent is NOT a crime – It’s an HONOR.
I pray for my Baby and other Babies in the church and May God Bless all of them.
Jay Hind.
Young Adult
I am also another young adult in the church and I agree with all the comments you posted and it’s very funny.
Yes . Our Mallu Achayans need some decent clothes and some good deodorants.
The prime objective of a normal malayalee is to insult other person without any merits.
Meesha Uncle,
On your mustache - Apply some Gels, Wear Fashionable Clothes, Try to be Young and don’t listen to the Old Buddies who live in the stone ages with their unrealistic views. We like people to be smart and I think that’s what this country teaches us all.
YOUR BABY - Hearty Congratulations. My younger bro may have a company.
Monne Voiceeee.....

My dear friend, this post was not a needed one. Opening another blog to defend or write is a piece of cake for me since I run my IT business for a long time. However, I accept your latest post as a comforting one and I am not here to fight. Anyway I felt that this small comment is needed since you directly addressed me and I am part of the community.
Ethayalum Nee Etta Peru Kollam.
"Veer-Appan" I like it.
As somebody wrote in one of the posts,
People who does not have a .... to call Appan they could very well call "Veer-Appan" . ie I am giving a new meaning to "Veer-Appan" from today.
And people who will call me the above name, I will honorly assume the above. And my answer will be - " It's an HONOR "
I publish my name here in the post. I don't wish to accept any comments and those who would like to comment about this, you could very well do one-one me. Else I will assume you are another one trying to call me Veer-Appan And I am HONORED
No Offenses.
Regards
Saji Varghese
