THATTARUPARAMPIL

 Thattaruparampil is the family of Thampy, Beena's husband. It was among  the  most well off families of the locality in the earlier days. Thampy's Ammachi was a sweet and beautiful lady who cared for everyone in need.

The Thattaruparampil House stood there in splendour surrounded by apologies of houses inhabited by people immersed in poverty. Thampy and Beena stay in the ancient house.

The widespread migration or emigration seeking fortune has transformed or altered the equations.

Thampy's  father was the Dentist at Edathua. He was a very good doctor. He had a flourishing practice. He was a good agriculturist too. His coconut trees yielded a minimum one thousand coconuts in fifty six days. There was the cultivation of paddy as well. The harvested paddy was stored in the Ara or Pathayam in the house. Though the area was flood prone, floods never entered the house. But the unprecedented 2018 floods broke the tradition. The house had two feet of water inside and it drove Thampy and his younger son to a relief camp. Beena and the elder son were in Dubai at that time. Incidentally the Gulf boom had drawn Thampy first to Dubai. However the recession there had driven him back to India. Once Dubai was limping back to normalcy Beena with the help of her cousin at Dubai  managed to find a job in an insurance company in Dubai. Along with the sourcing of insurance business, Beena had managed to find a job for her elder son there. The son later managed to find a job for his younger brother at Dubai. With both the sons away at Dubai, Thampy and Beena are managing their life at Thalavady, Kuttanadu.

The substantial properties Thampy's father owned  are fragmented,  partioned among his successors.
