Mr. Kicha

Today I made a point to complete the hilarious novel "Mr. Kicha" written by Crazy Mohan in the 1990's. I came with a forward from Sujatha, "If this doesnot make you to laugh, then you can only be characterized by a 3 letter word in your previous janma". I am wondering what that 3 letter word could be. The immediate word that came to my mind was musudu. Still I am figuring out what it is. Ok leave it, about the book, it is about the adventures of an Ara-loosu and his muzhu-loosu paati of Triplicane. The book must have been good at that point, but since my expectation from Crazy at this point of time is more, the book written by him decade ago somewhat didnot actually tickle my sense of humour to the extent I expected. But as a whole it is very good short book comprised of some 16 short stories about Mr. Kicha. But most of them are self-proclaimed buruda from Kicha himself like playing in WorldCup Cricket, piloting a flight etc. But still Crazy makes the flow to be very humerous. Especially I liked his Cricket and piloting adventures. His paati can be compared to todays' Paravai muniamma. The book is nominally priced, Rs 50, by Kizhakku Pathippagam
