ലക്ഷകണക്കിനു മലയാളികള്‍ ഗള്‍ഫില്‍ ജീവിക്കുന്നു, ലക്ഷങ്ങള്‍ ജീവിച്ചു തിരിച്ചു പോയിരിക്കുന്നു. ഇതില്‍ എത്ര പേര്‍ മരുഭൂമിയുടെ തീക്ഷ്ണത സത്യമായും അനുഭവിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. ആ തീക്ഷ്ണത തൊട്ടറിഞ്ഞ, അഥവാ മണല്‍‌പരപ്പിലെ ജീവിതം ചുട്ടുപൊള്ളിച്ച നജീബ് എന്നയാളുടെ അനുഭവമാണ് ആടുജീവിതത്തിനു പ്രേരണയായതെന്ന് നോവലിസ്‌റ്റ് ബെന്യാമിന്‍ പറയുന്നു. പ്രവാസജീവിതത്തിലെ തികച്ചും വ്യത്യസ്‌തമായ ഒരേട്.Rating Out Of Books ആടുജീവിതം | Aatujeevitham

I was indulged in my annual routine departure-lougue-book-shopping at Nedumbasseri one late night, and 'Aadu Jeevitham' was hightly recommended as one of the most selling malayalam works of this decade, according to the really friendly and enthusiastic sales person there (who actually seems to have read a lot of the books on sale and could have a decent chat about my own favorites like Parinamam or Oru Desanthinte Katha etc, which in itself was a pleasant surprise).'Aadu Jeevitham's back cover'Goat Days' is an unusual novel: probably quite unlike anything else you'll read this year. A relatively rare translation from Malayalam by Joseph Koyipally, it is, as its title suggests, a book in which goats feature prominently. So prominently, in fact, that by the end you'll know more than you ever thought you'd know, and ever wanted to know, about the frisky beasts. You'll know how to feed them, how to castrate them, how to dodge a buck if it turns nasty (see previous operation). You'll know
Sitting in the air conditioned lounge of a coffee shop, sipping on freshly brewed coffee and mumbling that life is becoming dull to a good looking woman was I. That too was a way of fishing for her sympathy wherein she patted my arm and said Talk to me about it why don't you ? as she intertwined her fingers with mine. I came back home after assurances of meeting each other again later. Knowing that the day has been a long one, I took a shower alternating between hot and cold water. Plopped
An Arab country was always a mirage for an average common Malayalee.but all my illusions were shattered after reading "aatujeevitham".its the story of survival,narrated beautifully and satirically.the story made me thinking about myself in Najeeb's place.Then realised I will never survive ...and never will have undying faith in Allah..like him.A new story from a new author...Outstanding..
A captivating account of a man named Najeeb who is stuck in the middle of nowhere along with goats and a typically savage arab master.It is a story we have all been hearing for for years, sordid grim tales of Indians wedged in slavery-like situations in the badlands of Arabia.This isn't your multidimensional novel with complex sub-plots. Characters are what they are. Even the goats. But the rustic plainness is what makes the book distinct.Goat days is about a simple man's ordeal, the strange
Goat days is a heart-warming account of a Malyali muslim stuck in the Gulf. I can relate to this story as I have had heard many horror stories being recounted of men who have gone to SaudiArabia only with dreams of gold and VCR. What they do there is secondary.. they may be a janitor for all you know, yet when they came back, they had to show proof of their good wealth and standing. So many homes have been destroyed and buikt because of this mass exodus to the Gulf at one time. Najeeb's
This book was recommended by a dear friend and going by his past record, I had no hesitation to pick it up even though it is fiction. It describes the story of a Malayali man who goes to the Middle East in search of greener pastures, and in doing so, beautifully brings out the pathos of life itself. I later discovered that it is inspired by a real life story. the language is lucid. Translated from the original Malayalam, some of the expressions bear resemblance to the original language. In that
