In a bid to highlight the importance of minimising usage of motor vehicles in day-to-day life towards preserving the environment, Collector P. Ramana Saraswathi decided to walk to her office on Mondays.
As usual, her driver had kept ready her official car on the portico of the Collector’s Bungalow on Monday morning. But, Ms. Saraswathi, who emerged from her residence, sprang a surprise. She asked the driver to stay put in the camp office and began walking to her office situated about 700 meters from her residence. Surprised by her action, a few of her office staff including Personal Clerk to the Collector and “daffedar” also followed her.

Before entering cinema, the artistic life of Malayalam actor Sreenivasan was shaped on the theatre stage, with Thrikkarippur emerging as one of the most vibrant centres of his early journey. It was from this fertile training ground that the artiste—who concealed layers of social thought beneath humour—paved his way into cinema. Thrikkarippur played a decisive role in this formative phase. A committed theatre activist, Sreenivasan formed the drama troupe Ghanashyama and made Thrikkarippur its base of operations.
