Once upon a time in a small village in Kerala. There was an old, abandoned house. People said it was haunted by a female ghost. A young boy named Raju was very curious. One night, he sneaked into the house. As he entered, he felt a cold breeze. He heard strange whispers. But instead of being scared, he started talking to the 'ghost'. Turns out, it was an old woman who was lost and couldn't find her way out of the house for years. Raju helped her and the 'haunting' stopped.
In a Malayalam ghost story, there was a school that was said to be haunted. Students would often report seeing a lady in a red dress walking in the corridors at night. One brave student decided to stay back and investigate. He hid in a classroom. As midnight struck, he heard the clicking of heels. The lady in red appeared. She seemed to be looking for something. It was later revealed that she was a teacher who died in an accident in the school many years ago. She was still attached to the place because she had left some important things unfinished in her teaching career.
Often, there is some sort of warning or legend associated with the ghost in Malayalam stories. It could be something like 'don't go near the old well at midnight' or 'the forest is cursed'. Also, there is a sense of mystery and the unknown which is a big part of these stories. The way the ghost is described, whether it's a white figure, a shadow or a strange sound, all add to the overall spooky atmosphere.
Well, in Malayalam ghost stories, the use of local superstitions is quite common. For instance, the idea that certain times like midnight are more likely to be when the spirits are active. The spirits are often associated with natural elements like the forest or water bodies. You'll often find that the main characters who encounter the ghosts are either travelers or new people in a village or town. And religious or spiritual elements play a role too, like performing pujas to get rid of the ghosts. There's also a sense of mystery that surrounds the identity of the ghosts, which is slowly revealed as the story progresses.
One of the scariest is a story set in a village. There was a well that was said to be haunted. People who passed by it at night would see a woman's figure rising from the well. It was later found out that a woman was thrown into the well alive many years ago during a feud in the village. Her vengeful spirit haunted the well and those who dared to come close at night.
There's a Ghost Malayalam story where a young girl can see a ghostly figure near a big banyan tree every evening. She is the only one who can see it. The figure seems to be of an old woman. As the story unfolds, it is revealed that the old woman was wrongly accused of a crime in that place years ago and her spirit lingers there waiting for justice.
One thought for the day in Malayalam could be 'ഒരു ദിവസം ഒരു പുതിയ സംശയം സ്വീകരിക്കുക, അത് നിങ്ങളുടെ ജീവിതത്തിന് ഒരു പുതിയ ദിശ നൽകും.' (Translation: Accept a new thought every day, it will give a new direction to your life.) A story related to this could be about a person who was stuck in a rut in his job. One day he accepted the thought of learning new skills. He started taking online courses and eventually got a better job with more opportunities.
Yes, there may be some stories in Malayalam literature that touch on gay relationships among couples. However, it might not be a very common or mainstream theme. Some modern and progressive works may start to explore such topics to represent the diversity of human relationships.
Malayalam literature is rich and diverse but it mainly focuses on cultural, social, moral, and literary values. There should not be any explicit sex stories in mainstream Malayalam literature. Writers usually concentrate on positive aspects like family, relationships in a proper and ethical way.
