It is cautioned that unless the reader has had some spiritual foundation, these articles would seem absurd. Because, spirituality is of a domain beyond the rational mind. Jijo here dear Johny. This is to inform you that Liza has obtained a divorce decree at The Superior Court of Justice in Toronto terminating her matrimonial status. But, as you know, The Sacrament of Marriage is eternal and stands valid in The Court of God … and hence, no court on earth has any jurisdiction on it. Well; this matter is between Liza, myself & God. Yet, the additional reason I write you this letter is to confirm to you that, you shall always remain my dear brother despite what Liza could get a court at Toronto to pronounce. With love. Jijo P.S.

HAPPINESS is realizing that it is alright to live for myself after all these years. Year 2007 The first communication I wrote Liza was the birthday wishes on my gift to her - the book Contact by Sagan. It was just after the bride-seeing ceremony and just before our betrothal, for her 21st birthday on 02 August1986. The second writing I gave to her was 'family prayers' with footnotes during the months following our marriage when we were staying alone at Mahalingapuram. She was feeling 'inadequate' since she suddenly realized she hadn't memorized that which was expected of every 'good catholic child'. She had never been taught morning and evening prayers which every keralite catholic family recited before the portrait of the Sacred Heart of Jesus consecrated in their home (Instead, Lza's family members were used to reading The Word Of God - lead by Amma). I, since I was practically without any activity those days and waiting for her return from her Guindy Engineering classrooms, volunteered to compile a set of necessary prayers. It was mostly what we prayed at home .. Mysteries (for rosary), Angelus Domini, etc., in malayalam, which I knew by heart. The Third. It was during film Kadathanadan Ambadi's court cases - when the indomitable Kerala High Court Judge, Chettur Sankaran Nair invited our company Navodaya to take over Sajan's said film made with monies of many poor depositors. And our fight with Sajan went unto the Supreme Court - that was when I remember writing Liza a remarkably long serious letter. It was the final months of her pregnancy - February to May 1988 to be exact, when I did frequently see many other civil court disputes as we waited for the hearing of our case against Sajan to come up on the assigned dates. In a civil court, I noticed, 70% of all disputes listed and taken up for a day's hearing would be on Lease & Rent. Boring sessions on tenant vs/. landlord arguments … and tiresome property disputes. Even the court personnel would be yawning. Then would suddenly come something that would make every sleepy attendee sit up and take notice … Family Disputes! … mostly custodial fight for children. The monetary amounts involved would be pittance, but the emotional value would daze even the most hardened bench of Judges. I remember 4 instances of such cases as we waited for our many hearings at various courts. One had a child coming and disposing against its mother. The father, who had the custody and obviously coached the child (a 6 yr old boy) what to say, had difficulty in hiding his pleasure as the mother looked stunned at what her child said about her. The rest of us in the room were looking back and forth between these three characters - father, mother and the child - perplexed as to what to make out of this. This was true for the 2 Judges too. That made me realize that Judges too are human - despite a life long sense of judgement they had acquired in their career for discerning between the legal and the illegal. Evidently, those templates of theirs were failing here. And, being an emotive issue, the hearing was taking disproportionately longer time without reaching anywhere. It was definitely a lose-lose situation for all - the father, the mother, the child, the judges … and the rest of us waiting for our cases to come up. [But one observation my brother Josmon did correctly make. Everybody in the audience (we included) lost their impatience and preoccupation with our own case as the 'family drama' like a magnet drew the bystanders into its emotive spell. That was a filmmaker speaking]. I remarked that the insensitivity of the parents displayed so publicly, was indeed disgusting. Then Advocate Siby (I forgot his sire name) the Receiver for Kadathanadan Ambadi said ….. this is nothing compared to what occurred sometime back here in the same High Court. In the midst of a case hearing, a father suddenly grabbed the child and ran out of the court hall …. followed by a screaming mother. It went unto the parking lot where the mother struggled to prevent him from leaving with their child. He said the incident was reported in major malayalam dailies. Chief Justice Venketachaliah was heading the 3 member vacation court I remember when the first hearing of Kadathanadan Ambadi came up in Supreme Court, Delhi. I was sitting with Senior Advocate - good old Subramaniam Potti who represented us, while Sajan and his gf Sasi sat with the famous young K.K. Venugopal who represented Saj Films. Sajan was pleading for a stay order Chettur had pronounced in our favor. The hall was packed … crowded as in Kumbhmela or Makaravilakku. 20 cases listed for hearing and 10 carried over from the previous day …. all of them listed 'urgent' for the summer vacation court. One among that was ours … pleading the public cause of lakhs of impoverished pensioners waiting for justice. Another was the infamous Tamilnadu Legislative Assembly ruckus where the MLAs were lathi charged out during a vote to prove a Jayalalitha majority against Janaki. Their pleading was to stay the TN Assembly Speaker's decision. Such were the cases for the day … Property disputes from Marwada and Share Allocation disputes from Gujarat all worth crores in value. With so much at stake everybody was on razor thin patience … anxiety was written on every face as to whether their case would be heard or not that day. Every eye occasionally scanned the case number digital clock that kept moving fast as the CJ speeded up the process in every case by cutting down the arguments from the litigants and speedily disposing … with a call 'NEXT'. If they argued any further, the litigants would find their case re- posted by the CJ to a regular court after vacations. With an average of 20 minutes for each case, ours listed at around 9th (after the previous day's pending 10) had a very good chance to be heard that day … there was still an hour of court time left. Suddenly there came in the case #8 before ours. A mother from Haryana trying to get a restraining order against her separated spouse who had visitation rights to their 8 year old daughter. "…. what is so urgent about this case it warrants to be heard now? .. after all, this dispute between the parents has been going on for 3 years …. that is what from your submission we gather" remarked the CJ. "Your Honor, the father by his rights shall take away the child tomorrow … because the summer holidays start in 24 hours. It is urgent you stop this ….
