It was in 2002 oct,after the terrorist attack on AKSHARDAN temple in AHMEDBAD,I and Dr Rajan reached Ahmedbad for a visit of Gujarath.The temple,the MARBLE MARVEL,built by Swami Narayan and his cult, attracted all.We were received by Dr RaMesh,our friend working as Reg.Manager,New Life Insurace Co.,there.With him went to meet ATHARVEDI community in Ahmedbad.We have pictured ATHARVEDI BRAHMINS and their rituals in my VIDEO CAMERA.Seeing my video camera,DR RAmesh spoke out an ambition.His daughter REMA has learned music and is a good singer now.She wishes to make one of her sONG as a video album.As Dr Rajan has some experience in album making,Rajan said "OK,Let us Proceed"Picturisation of the album started with a "Muhurath",at Ramesh home.First scene was a quarrel between a husband and wife on daughters Love affair.Ramesh and wife acted as parents Then we moved to Ahmedbad railway station for picturising raiway track scenes.We picturised scenes in which Hero and heroine[Rema and myself acted the roles] walk on the track hand in hand.As the picturisation was in a small handicam,we did not encounter any objection from the station authorities.Last scene was the departure of hero in train and the heroines desperate look.After the shooting,when we packed up to return,the station master called us
to meet him.Without uttering a word,he caught hold of our videocam and placed it in his safe!
Just after the terrorist attack on the temple,security was strict in Ahmedbad !!May be that
the reason for his action, we thought.
" We are not terrorists,we are tourists from Kerala".we pleaded.Showing his
New Life Insurance Identity card,Dr Ramesh said"This is my daughter.She is an engineering student"
"See,your shooting was against the present Law.I am going to charge you a case",Station Master replied,taking a charge sheet.
I was very much worried and shocked.After coming all the way to study Athervadis,is this the END?!.Or,is it a "SPELL" of seeing ATHARVEDI RITUALS?!!!How can we get out of this trap?
Suddenly an idea struck me like a thunderbolt ! I watched keenly the station master and his table.There were a lot of tamil film magazines scattered on the table,all with RAJANIKANTHs picture! He was a Blackink-coloured, short and sturdy man.He may be a Tamilian,I thought!
I can play a smart card on him now.
"Sir, we Malayalees are little cinema crazy",I pulled out my card.
"Our daughters hero and heroine are RAJANIKANT and Suhasini.It was her ambition
to act like SUHASINI, that brought us here for the shooting" I comleted.
A sudden movement made him shift his look on us,with an expression of bewilderment.
Then ,asif he could understand my TRICK,he just smiled and asked me,in clear Tamil,"NINGAL RAJANIFANSA?!"
""Yes,Yes,we usually see any Rajani film atleast Five times",REMA replied
With a more satisfied expression on his face,he took the camera from the shelf and handed over it to Rema.
""OK,OK,NO more shooting,Be careful" he said,with a smile !
Without making more Fus,we sneaked out of the room.
Getting in to the Car outside the station,we laughed,looking at eachother,and shouted

loudly-"THANKS,RAJANIYANNA,THANKS!!"
