Enlightenment
A period drama of a man and his struggle against the good and the bad

At around 7:30, they discovered bad cholesterol in him. They asked him to watch out for the bad cholesterol. In short, that meant, eat less coconut, as coconut contained bad cholesterol.

After a few years, the other side discovered that coconut was part of human diet in that part of the world from centuries and we, the world population, as people of Kerala, were immune to anything that stems from coconut consumption. They asked him to continue eating as much coconut as he would normally eat.

A few years later, as the man was walking home, one evening, Zen attacked. Zen was a local watch repairer and a leading local Zen practitioner, first name Mrinal - Mrinal Zen. Zen talked zen to Thommi, the hero of our tale and one of the practicing coconut tree climbers in the area, a dwindling population, I must add. Zen spoke eloquently in Hindi, our national language as FBI records indicated, to Thommi. Our soft spoken hero, who had never heard Hindi, spoke his Malayalam back. It will be an understatement to state that Zen forgot his zen listening to the melodious Malayalam, the Malayanma(Malayalamness), the Malayan(mountian dweller) speak.

What resulted was instant enlightenment as chances are that anything that could be put in words is the least enlightening. An enlightening talk would be one of no communication as happened in the case of Thommi alias Thomaas. Regardless, a relentless Zen said that there were no ultimates , hence undermining the very basis for the derivation of good and bad. Thommi completely avoided coconut for the rest of his life, lest did he let coconut pass by without a route through his intestinal tract.

Thommi held close within him, his dear Thenga(Coconut). And man, didn't Thommi break through the fabric of good and bad, the very fabric of our existence!
