a drunk saint.

He was the third born and the only son in the family.Pampered in his early days he grew up to be a brat.At 43,he has been married once,has 2 children,and has been living separately without getting divorced for six years now.A drunkard,with a sad story to tell.If his own self had a little to contribute to his disastrously eventful life,fate had more....

A brilliant boy, a lazy student.A wicked seed,now a burly oak.A jack of all trades,master of some :) There were few things that he couldn't repair...like broken hearts.But he believed he was too extraordinary to go for work,for his parents were unthroned king and queen of the place...But then he went to the Gulf to find work to add to his resume.And his departure from the place was as sudden as his arrival.War broke out across the seas and oceans,and he was literally shipped back to his home unseen.

Back home,he went into a shell,so as not to hear "paapi chellunnidam paathalam" ..a proverb in malayalam..translating into ... "hell, wherever the sinner goes".By the time,his sons had picked up their paternal qualities and had become miniature daddy dummies spitting cold wrath at anyone who may disappoint them in the least.

Not long after ,his King fell,and he rose to power.Power?To beat,scold and drink,day in and day out.Years passed and his other half and 2 quarters (he he...:P) fled his kingdom for dear life.The queen cried to death.The jewelery was taken care of.The greenery of the entire empire withered away as trucks came.loaded them with logs,the drivers exchanged money and sped away.The once envied palace lay in a webbed maze explored by king sized mice.

But deep down his heart,he was a saint.It wasn't his fault that he was pampered too much.It wasn't his fault that war broke out just one night, after he stepped into their land.Even after all these blotches on his personality, he is the best citizen in the place,present for anything  for anybody,just for service.He is the most decent person to ladies and the oldies.Not a word from his mouth was close to lie..when he isn't drunk,he is the best uncle a niece could have.
