“Innee Jeevitham Nashicha Porkkalam” by Jackson Vijayan appears on the Anandapuram Diaries soundtrack. The song, composed by Vijayan and written by Sinan Abraham, features in the film starring Meena and Manoj K. Jayan. Its verses begin with a student feeling crushed by the weight of supplementary exams and family pressure.
The lyrics introduce a core conflict between internal and external identity. The student feels like a “useless, unfertilized” banana tree that bears no fruit. This contrasts sharply with the social expectation to be a role model for others.
Inni Jeevitham Nashicha PorkkalamFrom now on, life is a wretched battlefield
Inni JeevithamFrom now on, life is
Inni Jeevitham Nashicha PorkkalamFrom now on, life is a wretched battlefield
Inni JeevithamFrom now on, life is
Suppli Undu Kayyileere Bhaaramundu ThalayileereI’ve got so many ‘suppli’ exams to retake, so much weight on my mind
Marddamundu VeettileereAnd so much pressure at home
Suppli Undu Kayyileere Bhaaramundu ThalayileereI’ve got so many ‘suppli’ exams to retake, so much weight on my mind
Marddamundu VeettileereAnd so much pressure at home
Ippo Njaan Thekkepparambile VaazhaRight now, I’m like that banana tree in the south field
Gunamilla Valamilla Kulakkatha VaazhaUseless, unfertilized, a tree that bears no fruit
Pakshae Naattil Njaan Role ModalaadaBut back home, I’m supposedly a role model
Avar Parayum Ennekandu PadikkinennadaThey all say, “You should learn from him!”
Enikkulla Ekabalam Ente KoottukaaraMy only strength is my friends
Njangalkkulla Ekabharam Exam SuppliyaadaOur only burden is these ‘suppli’ retake exams
Exam Onnu Adutthal Mottham PaditthaadaWhen an exam gets close, we study everything
Ennittum Thala Niraye Suppli BhaaramaadaBut still, my head is full of the weight of these retakes
Pusthakangal Edutthu Kannapinna MarichuI grabbed my books and flipped through them frantically
Urakkangal Kalanju Kutthirunnu PadichuI sacrificed my sleep and sat down to study hard
Pusthakatthin Thaalukal VettimurichadutthuI even tore out the pages from my books
Itthavanayengilum Njaan JayikkumennaurachuConvinced that this time, at least, I would win
Bhoothakaalam Nokki Irikkenda, Potte KoppuDon’t just stare at the past, let that nonsense go
Bhavikaalam Innu Munnilundu Oru HopeThe future is right here, and with it, there’s hope
Varthamanakaalatthinnu Varthamanam StopFor the present, stop all the talking
Thudangikko Innu Ninte Hard Working LoopAnd start your hard-working loop today
Kanavukal Kadavukal Ellaam ThaandiCrossing over all the dreams and the hurdles
Kadavukal Padavukal Ellaam KeriClimbing over all the hurdles and the steps
Adavukal Thadavukal Ellaam PayattiTrying every tactic and breaking through every barrier
Adavukal Thadavukal Ellaam PayattiUsing every strategy and fighting past every obstacle
Poruthanam Jayikkanam Nenju Virichu NadakkanamYou must fight, you must win, you must walk with your chest held high
Poruthanam Jayikkanam Nenju Virichu NadakkanamYou must fight, you must win, you must walk with your chest held high
Poraad Neraad Nenjod NeeyaadFight on, face it, move with your heart
Kannilla Raajyatthe Kannaayi Nee VaazhIn a kingdom of the blind, you must live as the eye
Nerilla Raajyatthe Neraayi Nee VaazhIn a kingdom without truth, you must live as the truth
Paalee Exam PaaleeRuined, the exam is ruined
Thookki Ente Thund Saar ThookkiThe professor failed me, he just failed me
Kaalangal Maaree Kaathangal ThaandiTimes have changed, we’ve crossed great distances
Swapnangal Eree Naamengo PokumWith so many dreams, where will we even go
Kanneeru Vaartthi Cherupinjiri ThookkiShedding tears, we put on a faint smile
Mounatthin Kanneeraayi Naam NinneedumWe will stand here, as the silent tears
Ormmakal Than KaliveettilIn the playhouse of memories
Koottar Than KoottatthilAmong a crowd of our friends
Pranayini Than OnakkaalamThe ‘Onam’ season with a lover
Ormmayil VaazhumIt all lives on in memory
Ini Naam Kandu MuttumoWill we ever meet again
Kandal Athu Ormma KittumoIf we do, will we even remember
Nimishangal KoottivekkumoWill we gather these moments
Iravukalil EllaarumAll of us, in the nights
Inni Jeevitham Nashicha PorkkalamFrom now on, life is a wretched battlefield
Inni JeevithamFrom now on, life is
Inni Jeevitham Nashicha PorkkalamFrom now on, life is a wretched battlefield
Inni JeevithamFrom now on, life is
Paalee Exam PaaleeRuined, the exam is ruined
Thookki Ente Thund Saar ThookkiThe professor failed me, he just failed me
Inni Jeevitham Nashicha PorkkalamFrom now on, life is a wretched battlefield
Inni JeevithamFrom now on, life is
Inni Jeevitham Nashicha PorkkalamFrom now on, life is a wretched battlefield
The song’s progression moves from frustration toward a determined call to action. It urges listeners to stop focusing on past failures and instead start working hard for the future. This creates a message of resilience for anyone facing academic or societal demands.
