Thank you for visiting this site.
The life of Pullolickal Mathen Thomas Esq. -- his wisdom, humor, songs, and above all
his love for family, friends and co-villagers, is presented here.

He was known by different names to different people - Pullolickal Thommachen,
Vakkilsaar, Aliyan, Echayan, or Appacha(n).  

This website was created by Echayan's  second son, Dr. P.T. Iype, in collaboration with
his brother  Dr. P. T. Kurien.

I do hope that Echayan's descendants will enjoy this website and they will cherish the
legacy of this great Pullolickan.
