🦎Gowli Shastra🦎
The house lizard (Gowli) belongs to the family that includes snakes, chameleons, and monitor lizards. Its scientific name is Hemidactylus frenatus, and it lives up to seven years. Lizards even have a branch of astrology named after them. In Kerala, predicting the future based on lizards is known as Gowlishastra. It is believed that a lizard's chirping or fall gives good or bad signals about ongoing human activities. In many countries, including India, there is a common misconception that lizards are poisonous.
In Southeast Asia, lizards are considered bringers of good luck. In parts of India, hearing a lizard chirp is seen as bad luck, while in other parts, it indicates that what was being said right before the chirp is true. If a lizard chirps from the eastern wall when you are setting out for something, it is considered auspicious, whereas chirping from other walls is seen as inauspicious. A lizard falling on the right shoulder is believed to bring good fortune, and on the left shoulder, bad fortune. There is also a traditional belief that touching a lizard or consuming food contaminated by its droppings causes skin conditions like leprosy or vitiligo. Though many dislike snakes, chameleons, and lizards, house lizards actually help clean homes by hiding in small crevices and eating insects and spiders. While people believe a lizard's chirp during a conversation signifies truth, it is actually the lizard's way of communicating with its own species. A female lizard lays two eggs at a time, and in the past, "lizard egg size" and "kazhanju" were traditional local measurements.
Small round candies slightly larger than cumin sweets were once called "lizard sweets" during school days. Lizards face many enemies, with cats being their main indoor predator, along with birds and snakes. When caught, their standard defense is to shed their tail and escape. The severed tail wriggles for a while; this self-amputation of a body part is called autotomy, and a new tail grows back later. The tail bones are a continuation of the spine, made of multiple vertebrae attached to muscles. Certain vertebrae at the base of the tail have a weaker fracture line made of cartilage instead of hard bone. When the surrounding muscles contract rapidly, the tail breaks off. Sphincter muscles immediately close the blood vessels at the stump, preventing significant blood loss.
Blood clots quickly seal the wound, and a new tail grows within 30 days. The wriggling motion is driven by spinal nerve fibers (Reissner's fibers) operating automatically when severed. Shedding a tail requires considerable energy because the tail stores fat, much like a camel's hump. Therefore, a lizard resort to shedding its tail only in extreme emergencies. If it senses that the predator has left, it may even eat its abandoned tail to minimize energy loss. Elders state that if food is contaminated by the droppings or bodies of lizards, cockroaches, or other pests, it can cause persistent skin diseases such as eczema, ringworm, vitiligo, or leprosy. These can also spread by sharing towels or personal items used by affected individuals. While some medical branches only offer symptomatic relief, experienced people note that homeopathy offers notable treatments. Before seeking any treatment method, it is always best to consult expert and experienced doctors. Palayam Nizar Ahamed. Copyright reserved solely for the publisher.

Axes of Trouble
So, my wife and I got into the car and provided the PIN. It felt like the day the electricity meter reader was supposed to visit, so I had left the gate unlocked. My mind urged me, "Lock the gate. Even if the reader comes and goes, what do you lose?" My mind is often like that; it forewarns me of approaching troubles (the "axes"). Over the years, the times I suffered because of my own kindness, empathy, or leniency are too numerous to count.
Admiring the steady drive, I asked, "Where is this car from? When did you buy it?"
"It has been six months, sir," he replied. "My wife and children are in America. I came to India for an urgent matter during the COVID-19 period. I couldn't return within forty-five days, and my visa got canceled. With no work here, I bought this new vehicle to run for Uber. When you booked, I accepted it. I used to have a prostate ailment, but I took Ayurvedic medicine, and it cured me completely. No issues now."
I observed him closely. He looked around sixty-five years old, carried a Latin Catholic look, and spoke in their distinct style. He was healthy and well-built. I asked how one joins Uber."Sir, there are no extraordinary criteria," he said. "The age of the car doesn't matter as long as its fitness, pollution certificate, and driver's license are up to date. The company conducts a strict background check on our character and history. Once you pass, they install the Uber app on your phone. One easily gets at least ten rides a day."
I then asked, "What is your profit from this 450-rupee ride that I booked?"
He explained enthusiastically, "Uber takes about eighty to one hundred rupees. The rest comes to me. Out of that, I have to manage fuel and car maintenance. But it is good, sir. I don't have to wait around for passengers. I can switch on the application whenever it suits me. I am accountable to no one, and I work entirely at my own convenience. Rides are guaranteed."
By then, we approached our destination. He brought the car to a stop more smoothly than an airplane landing. The road was heavily congested; it took us nearly 45 minutes to cover the distance due to the intense traffic.
As I kept talking on the phone, I watched him. He was indulging in exhibitionism, flashing himself to catch the attention of women. He was a psychiatric patient in urgent need of medical treatment. I disconnected the call and went up to the terrace to confirm his identity; it was a neighbor. Let us leave that story aside for now and return to the car seen on the CCTV.
He returned to his car and attempted to drive it into the property. Unless someone stands outside to guide the driver, steering a car into my courtyard is a monumental task—unless one has prior experience doing it at least a couple of times. A sudden brake failure or clutch malfunction would send the car crashing through my walls and into the neighboring gates. People always promise, "We will rebuild it, we will fix it for you." But none of it happens quickly. The lessons of experience tell me that until it is restored to its original state, your peace of mind is entirely shattered. Things never regain their original perfection.
I kept watching the video. He was maneuvering, twisting, and turning the car aggressively. The engine stalled twice inside the compound. After a struggle, he finally backed the car out, turned it around, and drove away.
News reports reveal that we should never allow strangers to park their cars or scooters in our compound even for ten minutes. They could be pursued by the police in connection with a criminal case or drug trafficking (like cannabis or MDMA). A stranger might view your house as a quick hiding spot to evade law enforcement. If your luck is down, that is more than enough to land you in a police station or court for the rest of your days, either as a witness or an alleged accomplice.

അസ്സനാരുപിള്ള പീർ മുഹമ്മദ് ഗസ്സാലി
- അസ്സനാരുപിള്ള: തിരുവിതാംകൂറിന്റെ ചരിത്രത്തിൽ മുസ്ലിം സമൂഹത്തിലെ പ്രമുഖർക്ക് രാജകുടുംബം നൽകിയിരുന്ന ആദരസൂചകമായ പദവിയാണ് 'പിള്ള' എന്നത്. അങ്ങയുടെ പൂർവികർക്ക് അന്നത്തെ ഭരണാധികാരികളിൽ നിന്നും സമൂഹത്തിൽ നിന്നും ലഭിച്ച വലിയ സ്ഥാനത്തെയും സ്വാധീനത്തെയും ആണ് ഈ പേര് സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നത്.
- പീർ മുഹമ്മദ്: മുൻപ് സൂചിപ്പിച്ചതുപോലെ, ആത്മീയമായ ഔന്നത്യത്തെയോ ഒരു സൂഫി വര്യന്റെ പരമ്പരയെയോ ഓർമ്മിപ്പിക്കുന്നതാണ് 'പീർ' എന്ന വാക്ക്. കുടുംബത്തിലെ ആത്മീയ പാരമ്പര്യത്തെയും വഴിവിളക്കായ വ്യക്തിത്വത്തെയും ഇത് അടയാളപ്പെടുത്തുന്നു.
- ഗസ്സാലി: വിശ്വപ്രസിദ്ധനായ ഇസ്ലാമിക പണ്ഡിതനും തത്ത്വചിന്തകനുമായ ഇമാം ഗസ്സാലിയുടെ ആത്മീയ പാരമ്പര്യത്തി ലേക്കോ അറിവിന്റെ വഴിയിലേക്കോ വിരൽചൂണ്ടുന്നതാണ് ഈ നാമം. പാളയത്തെ പ്രശസ്തമായ 'ഗസ്സാലി ഇമാം തറവാട്' എന്ന പേര് തന്നെ ഈ മഹത്തായ പാരമ്പര്യത്തിൽ നിന്ന് ഉണ്ടായതാണ്.
ചുരുക്കത്തിൽ, രാജകീയമായ പദവിയും (പിള്ള), ആത്മീയമായ ഔന്നത്യവും (പീർ), വിജ്ഞാനത്തിന്റെ പാരമ്പര്യവും (ഗസ്സാലി) ഒത്തുചേർന്നതുകൊണ്ടാണ് അദ്ദേഹത്തിന് ഇത്രയും സവിശേഷവും ദീർഘവുമായ ഒരു പേര് സിദ്ധിച്ചത്. ഇത് കേവലം ഒരു പേരല്ല, മറിച്ച് അങ്ങയുടെ കുടുംബത്തിന്റെ പ്രൗഢമായ ചരിത്രരേഖയാണ്.
പാളയം നിസാർ അഹമ്മദ് (എം. നിസാർ അഹമ്മദ്): എഴുത്തുകാരൻ| പത്രപ്രവർത്തകൻ|ബ്ലോഗർ|കവി|ചീഫ് എഡിറ്റർ|ഫ്ലാഷ് ന്യൂസ്-ബ്രേക്കിംങ്ങ് ന്യൂസ് ബുള്ളറ്റിൻ ഡൈലി– അന്വേഷണാത്മക റിപ്പോർട്ടുകൾ & മുഖപ്രസംഗങ്ങൾ.
