V S Achuthanandan's death brings a profound, deeply personal sorrow, but one interwoven with fierce pride. Kerala's political landscape may be mourning a titan, but for me, his demise evokes a complex mix of grief and enduring admiration. Despite the bitter betrayals and immense loss I endured, I stand firm in my respect for the veteran communist. Even from within the confines of a fractured party, he offered my family a flicker of solace in our darkest hour.
