TV room on
George’s room in the Signature Home is not difficult to find because it has a TV. Always on. That was the consensus of everyone, including Joseph Alex, the managing trustee of the old age home. “The TV in Georgepachan’s room Never agree to turn it off. Whenever you look at it, any movie will be shown. One day when I was going to my room, my father held me close. ‘Look, this is not my film. Did you sit down and watch this…’ Hearing my grandfather’s words, I looked at the TV and the movie ‘Panchavadipalam’ was on it. Even as the memories begin to fade, I realize how intense the movie was for the man. I felt great curiosity when I saw my father looking at all the scenes of the movie as if he was watching them for the first time. There are many other experiences that made the man realize that there is no life without cinema” – says Joseph Alex.
Mammootty is my friend

After that, Georgepachan sang Happy Birthday to Mammootty along with the inmates. The joy and enthusiasm he felt all that time was beyond words. Georgepachan also had great enthusiasm to celebrate his own birthday by cutting a cake with the inmates. A few filmmakers used to come there sometimes to see Georgepachan,” says Joseph Alex.
Bulgan is not weed!
George also had the joy of maintaining his trademark bulging beard even as his memories faded and he succumbed to the pangs of old age. “Everybody gets a full shave here. But I would tell everyone to keep Georgepachan’s Bulgan beard as is. I said so knowing that he also liked it a lot. In between, a boy had unknowingly shaved himself when he changed. Then his unique face seemed to change completely. After that, Bulgan kept his beard and shaved it. KG Bulgan beard was important in marking the man George. It is a blessing to be able to fulfill the wish that it should be like that till the time of death” – Joseph Alex said, George’s face smiled in the pictures of memories.
