As the time moved on, the inevitable happened.
My father ((Kodungallur Sudhakara Raja, son of Ikkavutti Thampuratti and Chettani Mekkattu Vasudevan Namboothiri) completed all his duties and responsibilities in this world and left us all, day before yesterday (February 16, 2011) in Delhi (where he lived his last couple of years with my mother, my sister and her family).
He was suffering from Meningioma, and Alzheimer's disease. He was further aflicted with Pneumonia and septisemia in his last days. He was under intensive medical care for about 10 days but he could not survive despite the best medical care we could extend
Born in the royal family of Kodungallur (Kodungallur Kovilakam), he was an expression of unexpressed love and affection of a simple man living true to the great tradition, culture and values of the family.
His body was cremated in Delhi in Nigam Bodh Ghat.
Our close relative-friends in Delhi were with us through the hard times. Their advice and help all along made our unbearable pain as bearable as can be
