~my gallant spelunker

   
   
   
   
 
   
“You had seen death &... felt it    
all through its mysteries & pain..    
challenged it like an Avatar..    
& had come back .. here again..    
kicking alive.. it’s a miraculous    
divinity.. You are nothing but    
God.. “    
   
   
   
the flying sparks of this fiery    
towering bonfire… of this a messy    
rainy day over this steepy hill slope    
of a difficult terrain… you are carried    
here by your loving souls’ in their    
palanquin of united hands.. you    
wrapped up in a woollen blanket    
that’s soaked wet & red in your    
rushing out holy Ganges    
riverine blood..    
   
   
   
your almost hanging out organs    
washed in blood now lost .. your    
mind screaming psychotic to traces    
of light even from your deadly tryst    
with the flickly pulling quick .. a hermetic    
darkness of these Caves named aptly    
as the Devil’s Kitchen,.. also called    
the popular Guna’s caves.. made    
infamous by such it’s puzzling pulls    
& kills in it’s  naturally dugout traps ..    
innumerably holed deep trenches    
falling crookedly narrow unto    
the unknown depths of    
a swallowing quick a subterranean    
earthen quicksand .. of an    
unreturing bottom..    
   
   
   
you will heal you will heal my magical man..    
for in your imminent healing , we all heal ..    
   
   
this rustic heart in honest & simple hopes    
of love of nature of justice .. shall prevail ..    
in this mere survival  & life & beyond.. “    
   
   
I touch & kiss your shivering shrunken feet    
hung out in strips of torn out skins & streaking    
fluoresce red blood in cryptic fonts of love    
& peace .. dripping as holy vermilion    
offerings for us the desperate restless    
humans ..    
   
   
   
In your own rescue & coming back to life..    
we see our light our path, our saviour..”    
   
   
   
..    
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
P.s:    
   
This small piece of write is inspired by true incidents based on a Cave rescue of a Survivor.. the only one to be rescued, after such many treacherous cave hole falls n traps n deaths there ..    
   
One film #ManjummelBoys (2024 Malayalam film) is the inspiration of this write, which brings this incident to the fore & was a big hit here due to it’s uncompromising story line & film effort  of the crew .. of such a miraculous rescue ..    
   
This  cave  of hidden danger.. called as The Devil’s Kitchen.. was made known to world as back as 1821 exploration .. but remained unknown to outside world .. then gained popularity by a Tamil film #Gunaa in 1991.. where the film was extensively filmed .. caves came to be then called as Guna’s Caves too .. One of my fav Maestro Ilayarajaa’s number from this film from this cave ..I love to share :

But then this Gunaa film attracted so much real life visitors to this  calling devilish cave .. that missing n death of more than 16 were reported n many unreported..      
   
The true incident in the 2024 film is unfortunately cos of the Guna’s film popularity.. the 2024 film #ManjummelBoys has the same fav number of Gunaa shared above .. aptly in this film but with iit’s own rescue sequence. would love to share this number too :

For those who want yo know bit more of these Caves.. here’s the wiki link:

Nature .. she is One Truth.. in all its peaceful divinity of Shakti .. but also in its furious avatar of Kali in her reddened anger too♥️🙏stay safe . Enjoy n sync with nature of self of Her the mother cosmos..  light love you all dears sx
