Vadakara: It was a heartwarming moment for Malayalam novelist Benyamin when he came across a synopsis penned by Nanma Thejaswini, a fourth-standard student of Mandarathur MLP School, in Maniyur Panchayath near Vadakara. The note was a summary of Benyamin's ‘Aadujeevitham’, as understood by a 9-year-old, leading Benyamin to express his admiration with the words, "That’s all… Aadujeevitham."
Nanma, inspired by a story narrated by her mother about the novel, captured the essence in just twelve lines in her notebook. The story which starts, "One day there lived a man named Najeeb... One day Najeeb went to Dubai. An Arab man there trapped Najeeb in the desert…," ends with the start of the song "Perione Rahmane, Perione Rahim..." from the movie adaptation of ‘Aadujeevitham’, accompanied by a sketch of Najeeb.
The story caught the attention of her school teacher Sreejith Chalil, who shared it on the World Malayali Facebook group. The post quickly garnered numerous comments and likes, eventually reaching Benyamin, the author of the novel himself. Benyamin, deeply moved by Nanma's storytelling talent, shared her story on Facebook, which immediately went viral.
Nanma Tejaswini is the daughter of Sunil Sreedharan and Asha Latha from Cherandathur.
