A Childhood in Malabar: A Memoir Summary in Tamil
“மலபாரில் ஒரு குழந்தைப் பருவம்” ஒரு நினைவு என்பது ஒரு சுயசரிதை. இது கமலாதாஸின் குழந்தைப்பருவ அனுபவம் ஆகும். யாரோ ஒருவர் பிறந்தநாள் அம்பலத்தில், அங்கு ஒரு சூறாவளி இருந்தது. மாலதிக்குட்டி என்னையும் என் சகோதரனையும் சர்ப்பக் கோவிலுக்கு அழைத்துச் சென்றார். மீனாட்சி: மாலதி அம்பலத்தில் குடும்பத்தின் தொலைதூர உறவினர். அவள் வீட்டில் உள்ள வீட்டு வேலைகள் அனைத்தையும் செய்வாள். கோவிலில் இருந்து திரும்பிய பிறகு மதிய உணவிற்குப் பிறகு தூக்கத்தை உணர ஆரம்பத்தாள் மாலதிகுட்டி பியான். பலத்த காற்று தென்னை கிளைகளை கிழித்து எறிந்தது. அது அம்மம்மாவை பயமுறுத்தியது. அவர்கள் அனைவரையும் நடுத்தர அறையில் உட்காரச் சொன்னார். ஒரு தென்னைமரம் கீழே சாய்ந்து விழுவதை கேட்டார்கள். வீடு வெள்ளத்தில் மூழ்கியது. சிறியன்னை பாடினாள். தனக்கு இரண்டு வரிகள் கூட ஞாபகமில்லை என்று அம்மம்மா கூறினாள். முற்றத்தில் முழங்கால் ஆழம் நீர் இருந்தது. காலையில் மழை நின்றது. ஆனால் இறந்த ஆடுகள் எல்லா இடங்களிலும் மிதப்பதைக் கண்டார்கள். ஆசிரியர் உடனே முறுக்குகள் அல்லது பேரிச்சை கேட்டார்.
