Original subtitles

This is the story of a gentleman

Long long ago when Pakistan violated agreements and attacked lndia,

The lndian Army also returned the favour on Pakistan with full might

lt was then, fearing the breakout of war,

One Kumaran, a soldier, developed aches and fever,

returned to his hometown, carrying his gun.

The best medicine for Kumaran's intermittent fever,

was known only to his wife Rajamma.

''With a touch of kohl for the eyes''

''And mangalsutra around the neck''

''l was looking for you at the door steps''

''The time when groom arrives''

''for adoring him , l knitted a garden ofjasmine flowers''

Like all women, Rajamma also realised

the most pleasant pain in the World is Labour pain!

After that long wailing and wait,

finally the gentleman was delivered

As the new born was lifted by a fatso nurse,

and baby's hand accidentally brushed, against her breast,

the nurse proclaimed then,

Watch out, this guy is a bit naughty!

Parents look at their one - two year old kids and call out...

Little thief, lovable rogue etc.

Kids are neither thieves nor rogues

After getting them used to these names, if they really become one

The entire blame is on the kids

That practice didn't get overlooked here either..

Mother's lovable rogue..

lt was in the beginning of the 70's,

the practice of combining the first two letters of parent's names,

to name their children, started around ldukki

Thus the baby born to Rajamma and Kumaran was named by Kumaran as...

Rajakumaran...Rajakumaran.. Rajakumaran

Our Gentleman hails from near Rajakumari Village in ldukki District.

Thus he grew up as Rajakumaran of Rajakumari .

But the nick name that the nurse gave when he was born,

never left him!

Once, as he walked back home from city after buying rice and kerosene,

marked the beginning of the incident

A blue tailed yellow bird

Eventually just to win the game... at least to say l touched it

our gentleman followed the bird on to a huge tree on the river side

But our gentleman failed to notice Januchechi bathing right below

To check if anyone is peeping into her bathing area

Toddy-tapper Nanappanchettan who regularly hid and kept watch saw our gentleman

lt was that day he practically learnt the science lesson Vasanthi teachertaught.

Grains sink to the bottom and Kerosene stays afloat on water

ln fact was exemplified and understood that day

The irony is, till then the neighbours who always were at loggerheads

for many things joined hands to give our gentleman a new nick name.

Hey Bath-scene-Kumaran! We came to know, boy.

Hey Bath-scene-Kumaran! Watching Janu's bathroom scene?

As kids, there will always be some kind of nick names

But the nicknames our gentleman got were all the bad names.

As years passed, our gentleman would keep earning new names..

One of his names matched with the famous bird of our village...

What more to say!

Even if a high breeze were to blow, it would be for our gentleman to get into trouble

The currently dwindling group of eve teasers that day gave our gentleman a new name

Here is Jabbaran!

Hey Jabbaran!

According to villagers, one who steals panties and brassieres is called Jabbaran!

lf there were to be any case related to women in the Village,

Our gentleman's name was sure to popup somewhere in their conversation,

All these things were never part of his thoughts.

Whenever he heard people talk of what he never thought about,

Tears would unknowingly roll down,

caused by the hurt...

For people, one who cries while talking is a thief!

Thus people made him a thief too.

Oh.. Amidst this forgot to mention something

When China declared its intention to attack lndia, Kumaran chettan returned home again

ln the Warthat broke out later, Kumaran chettan became a martyr!

8 months after Kumaran passing away, our gentleman got a brother

Since he was born on a specific auspicious day,

Rajamma gave him a fascinating name..Mayur (matches a profanity)!

When called too long or short, it would sound too abusive, did not strike her

As his little brother grew and whenever he was mischievous ,

People said that he could learn all this only from his elder brother

And when Rajamma also said it's all because of his bad stars,

most of his bad names disappeared

But because of these bad names our gentleman remained unmarried.

Mayur actually has the colour of a dark wart..

He got a very fair girl as his wife...

Now he has a daughter..Little Molu

She is very fond of stories

And our gentleman loves telling stories

Last night he told a story

The story from here on is not fortelling, but for sitting back and watching

Gentleman's Story

Good mangoes! Do you like to have?

l'm not referring to Mangoes. l'm talking about him

Him? Who?

Little Molu is to sleep with brothertonight.

Let her.

How about enjoying ourselves then?

Come on! Brother has still not married

l will not let my Little Molu sleep with him.

Talk softly

His stories are wide spread in our town.

Mayur etta..Sorry, please go and get her child

Brother may hear, talk softly

Let him. Nothing stays in my head.

l talk openly whatever l feel

Look at the kind of story he is narrating! Hen and Fox!

A story teller!

Eh.. That smile itself says more than enough..

Go and get her.

''Gentleman is a Star''

lt will upset anyone who hears it

l too was upset

At the right time, l got a transferto Kochi!

When l missed the morning bus, l got your car.

This 3 hours ofjourney from there to here...

Would have become extremely boring,

if we hadn't kept speaking, isn't it bro?

Though a tragedy, the episode is quite interesting to listen.

We didn't realize time fly, isn't it George?

That is true! Didn't realize we had reached Kochi!

lt's the nature of us, people from ldukki.

We keep talking and the talk meanders all over!

Do you know why?

We are termed as meanderers, having settled there finally

That really sounds interesting, Raja

Not Raja, l'm Rajakumaran

Oh Kumaran! Rajakumaran!

What brings you to Kochi, Rajakumaran?

ln Kochi, to train teachers..

Without meandering,

if you could cut into one-third and summarize it will be better

Hey brother, you are a real comedy!

Bro, l'm a teacher's trainer! l just summarized it, ok!

Where do l need to drop you, Rajakumaran?

Over there! At the flat round that corner!

-Stop there!-Awesome!

-See you then-This is my card

When you drop in at Thrissur, give a call

You can also call us for your marriage

That is a Superstition in my case!

No dude! A woman is surely waiting for you

-Still.. - Yes

But that is my mom, sir.

Okay see you.

What to do dear!

ln the midst of the hectic life that is how it is for all!

l am also craving to see you

Hey you!

Who is this Churidhar wearing man?

Hey you! Where are you walking in?

l'm not a Saint in the glass casket for you to walk in as you please

Write your name and phone number and sign here

And also mention whom are you visiting

Oh l am sorry bro! Didn't notice you.

-10 O-Whereverto it be, it needs to be written here.

You seem to be quiet angry in the morning itself

Have been sitting in hot sun since morning, won't l be hot?

Where?

What is your name?

Rajakumaran! Where is Rajakumari then?

ldukki? l've been there on an excursion once .

Where in ldukki?

Rajakumari (Princess)... Near Senapathy (Commander-in-chief)

Oh Rajakumari near Senapathy!

Where does Raja (King) live then?

Oh my bro! Rajakumari, Senapathy are the name of the places in ldukki

Oh, is that so? Okay.

l didn't ask you to write 100

-Write 10 O-Angry again?!

Lets see you writing it ..10 O

Too lazy to write also!!

l will show you, note it

Oh! However it is written it shows only 100

-Right!-Yes

Listen, l'm not a guest here..Come to stay here

Oh..No..

-Hello Listen!-Oh no! My job is fired!

Don't complain to the Secretary and fire me from my job.

Already there are 100 complaints against me.

Jabbaran!! Hey..

Many names l guess!

ls washing cars yourjob now?

Reached very early!

Got a lift - by car.

-Do you know each other? - Yes

We studied upto 10th class together

He is Bharathan, All in one here

We became friends the moment we met

Come then..l got your room cleaned.

-See you.. - We must see.

l shall take you to my flat first.

You have become fairer!

l haven't been anywhere for past 3 months, that is why

Please come.

Not seen my wife, have you? She is my wife Sofy Stephen.

Stephen?

Hmm, l changed my old name

Names like Kuriachhan sound as if..

l became a Father at birth!!

Not only that... a lousy family name too.

Doesn't the name Stephen got some weight?

But l liked Kuriachhan!

Will both of you stop?

Dear, Who is he? You did not introduce him.

Sofy this is the one whom l often refer about ..the very Rajakumaran

From Rajakumari!

Oh yes! Have been hearing a lot!

But this is the first time l'm meeting you.

Get him something to drink

What about tea, dude?

-Yes..- Okay-Okay..go. Get him tea

What more news, buddy?

Hey Rajakumaran..how about sugar?

-Sugar will be fine, is it? - Yes

You go.

Buddy, at times when our differences reach dizzying heights,

lt's true that l have exaggerated and told her about our past stories

And when she hears then she also knows that are just brags.

Even otherwise when one tells the story, he himself is always the hero

And others become Villains or Comedians!

Carry on..Carry on..

-No dude, for a peaceful family life..-Stephen

Look, she is calling. l was wondering why she hasn't called yet.

l will go and be back soon. You be seated. Please

Sofy! You called me?

What are the plans of the king and the commander-in-chief?.

He has taken Georgettan's flat on rent.

Oh oh! When l leave this evening, if yourfriend is here,

Then you come along with me to Trivandrum

We shall return next week.

What is this dear?. Haven't l said...he is really innocent.

Yes, l know Honey

Still these bad names are a kind of contagious disease, if one is around!

lsn't l who has to take care of you, honey?

So please listen to me

What is this, Sofy?

Why are you talking like this?

When you are with me, what disease can l get..

Kuriacha..

See, your friend is calling, go

Calling! When that friend of is calling..

Can this friend of yours go? Please smile, my dear

Gone!! Jabbran..

Eh..Her caring..

This is your problem! Getting angry for silly things!

Dude! She is too caring...

And it's not that she is angry with you.

Even if she said something, it was her and not me, isn't it?

Why get angry with me? l don't understand.

l'm not angry with anyone.

lt's not something l am hearing for the first time.

Did you stop your teaching work and start Junk business?

No..it looks awesome..Superb..Splendid

Smiling..Smiling, getting okay..

His anger has subsided..Come in

-Has Sofy come? -Saw off Sofy long time back!

This is another piece...Omana!

You said Omana and there comes a male!

What a comedian!!

My real name is Omanakshanpillai

People who love me address me as Omana

Those who love him are all aunties here.

Shut up! He says for fun.

lt's for fun, is it?

Not all.

Got two lovers

And both are serious.

Would you marry both?

Both are now married and have delivered too

Shut up you! lt's all nothing.

For a mental relief, do you drink?

You seem to be heavy drinker, Uncle

l rarely drink

Being a teacher!

As the position goes up, ourfreedom comes down.

Secretly a peg.

l will get the glass

No need. l got my glass with me. l used to carry it with me.

-Well, you take off the clothes - What for?.

Silly! Take off its clothes

Okay.

lt's she. l will be back now.

-Hello - Where are you hubby?

ln our flat.

-Did you trim your nails?- Nails! Will do it.

-When?-l will.

Take a photo and whatsapp it.

-Whatsapp!-Send it right away

Okay

You guys carry on. l will go to my room and be back

lf it is for a Nail cutter, it is overthere.

Caring.. She is very caring.

What is this? Mortuary bed!!

lt is a bed for charging the phone.

Don't beat around trimming of nails, come straight to the matter.

Do you know, this guy has got 10 heads for all the knowledge of things in this World

But in matters related to women, he is a complete Zero!!

He has no idea of how to talk nor mingle with Woman!!

l do talk with lady teachers!

Aren't they your students?

Lady teachers are not the only females in this World.

There are other women also.

Uncle, are you getting me?

Amongst women he has the best possible bad names!

We all need to have him get off that!

ls this a big problem, Rajakumaran?

The moment this problem arises, within a second a solution also arises

l too know that, Uncle.

But, till now that solution has not been discovered.

Bad image among women can't be got off with money

Only a Woman can get you off it.

Let a Woman enter his life!

All his problems will be solved, isn't it Kuriachan?

Got boozed with a single peg! Uncle, sit down.

To sit here, don't l need a Chair?

-lsn't this a Chair?- Ain't l coming over

No girl entering his life is... the problem here.

Don't worry, this is Kochi.

ln this Kochi, his girl who will drive in when the right time comes up!

When you talk, everything got to be said..

Don't love any girl from the heart..

Love only from the brains, Rajakumaran!

A woman's mind works like the Autorickshaws in Kochi!

One just cannot predict which road it will take.

My wife is one such vehicle that came losing its way.

-Pom Pom..-Shucks! What are you doing?

l honked! l'm little disappointed, l will honk more..

Now it will not be good if he stands here anymore. Good night.

Move..Everything is ok.

Ok dude ! Good night.

We shall go to room and honk, ok!

lf she had moved to the front, both of us could have sat there

Doesn't matter.

lf she doesn't pinch and scratch, you can sit without fear.

-Shall l request her?.-Ah?

Never mind, l shall ask

Madam, if could move up front, Commander-in-chief can..

Sorry, this Sir could sit here.

Doesn't matter, l will stand here

Shall call you back

Hello, l have no infectious disease

Oh.. that is what so?

l could have rather sat nothing to fear, go and sit..

Why the hell did you go and ask?

Don't waste time, go and sit.

No need.

l asked you for a place and you needlessly...

She has no disease! Go and sit without fear

That's better.

He is a little scared of women. That's why.

No..Nothing like that

-Sir, Half your butt is out..-What?

Your bum..bum.

-Sir, balance.. - Hmm..

Not that balance.. l mean the balance money

Money has fallen down

Money fell!!

Doesn't matter...lt's ok.

Move.

Take it.

Will she forget the surroundings?

What man?

lf that girl there were to cooperate like this, l could also sit.

Sir, we need to get down at the next stop

Oh! My mobile..

Hey Stop..Stop the bus.... Someone's mobile is missing..

l meant, l forgot my mobile in my room.

However it is missed!

l will go home and get the mobile

Okay

-Won't you be at your office? - Yes

That girl is staring at you

You didn't say bye to her, it's too bad.

Shut up.

See, she is staring at you.

-Who is that girl?-Who knows?

Aah.! l noticed her smiling and picking up the money.

You are not as l imagined.

You go and get the phone.

Tell me when l return

Rajakumaran Sir, you have arrived!! Why so late?

l came by bus!

Kochi's traffic is like ants moving!

Unnecessarily rushing..

Moreover, blocks too.

That...you are in Kochi for the first time, That's why!.

For us this is a regular sight.

Sir, since you were late, Sudhakaran sir is in the other room all overthe teachers.

O my god! Was l carrying this with me?

-Hello Bharathan! -You are simply great.

Forgot to give me the keys

Oh no Bharathan! l'm really sorry

What sorry!

Phone is inside the room. Won't be lost.

Don't l need the key to get it?

Hello, if l too hadn't taken the phone, what would've happened?

Hello..

Bharathan..its not that ..

Lets do one thing. Pick it up in the evening when you come .

What am l supposed to do then?

Okay then.

What a fool is he!

-What happened, sir? - Nothing.

Come.

The ''Simple Teaching'' project that saw success in othertwo districts in Kerala,

l am clear will meet with success in Ernakulam District also

Still..

Here comes the sir.

l'm not extending further

As Rajakumaran sir, who can authoritatively talk about the project is here.

-Greetings sir.-Greetings.

-ls he Rajakumaran? -He is that Story telling Sir!

-l know him. - Story?

You watch! He will no longer stand on ground!

All of you, please sit.

l take leave then

-Greetings. - Greetings sir.

All the teachers here must have been really disappointed.

Ever since childhood in the stories we have been hearing,

the hero has been the Rajakumaran (Prince).

Ain't it, teacher?

Listen sir!

Whenever anyone hears my name Rajakumaran and sees me

Everyone laughs.

While laughing, everyone gets fresh, isn't it?

Getting fresh is quite good!

Well, let's come to the discussion.

Once upon a time,

ls it a Pangolin?

There was a prophet.

By prophet l mean someone who has the ability to forecast what is to happen in the future..

Kavitha Teacher, where is your house?

Forgot your own house also?

Ah..Thoppumpadi.

A prophet visited Thoppumpadi, next to Kavitha Teacher's house

He was sitting underthe banayan tree and foretelling long and fast..

While he was foretelling,

You know about our Kavitha Teacher!

She thought of putting him to test.

Sunil sir,

to test the Prophet , our teacher is going..

Going where?

Doesn't he know that?

House, isn't it? May be!

Yes, as the teacher was on her way, she saw a butterfly

The teacher caught that butterfly and kept it inside her palm..

And simultaneously also confirmed the question to ask the prophet

Do you know what was the question teacher asked the prophet?

You know?

No!

Shall l say?

ls the butterfly inside my palm still alive or..

..not?

-- not!

Sudhakaran Sir,

Yes..

lf the Prophet were to answer - butterfly is not alive.

According to the teacher's nature, what would she do that second?

Teacher would squeeze it to death that second.

-She would kill?-Yes..

-Teacher..-Yes

lf the Prophet were to say - not alive.. What would you do?

Be seated and answer, be seated and answer..

-l will..-Louder please.. Louder..

l may probably free the butterfly

Yes!

So, the Teacher asked the Prophet, the butterfly in her palm was alive or not?

There is this answer that the Prophet gave....

That answer is what l intend to tell all of you....

Prophet said, it's life....it's life....

is in your hands!

Yes!

We are beginning the ''Simple Teaching'' project here.

Life of this programme..is not in my hands..

lt is in the hands of each one of you.

You must think whetherthis must go well or bad

lf all of you will, we can definitely mould a smiling, wise, new generation.

How about making this ''Simple Teaching'' method a success?

How then?

Do you have fever, mom? Your voice is changed

lf so you should done a steam inhalation?

Otherwise consult some doctor

-Who? -Aunty! ls she young?

Go and sit overthere.

Okay, l will call you tomorrow

Are you talking over phone leaving the door open?

So what?

At dusk the front door of the house must stay open. That is how it is.

That is for a house. This is a flat.

Front door of the house must be open and flat's front door must remain closed.

That's the rule.

What sort of a set up is that?

Exactly! That is what is required for any set up!!

lt is time for his snap to be taken and put on OLX..

And the old man is talking about set up!

How was your class today? Any news?

Good teachers!

-Good in the sense? -l mean obedient teachers

l have heard about obedient students

lt is the 1st time l am hearing about teachers!

l heard some girl on the road, smiled at you today

The matter is she looked and also smiled at me.

lnitially l thought, she was ridiculing me.

Then?

Then what! l went to school

How about going to meet hertomorrow?

Who?

Shall l say?

To meet the Rajakumari (Princess) who smiled at this Raja (Prince).

-That is it!-What for?

There is a reason..

Bharathan is the one who told me...

And from the conductor, he also collected her boarding and disembarking points

And we are going...

Why the hell should l meet her?

Not you, lt's we who are seeing her.

-l'm not coming.-Why? Are you sick?

Nothing... He will come around if compelled!

So, Kuriacha..you aren't coming?

Need not.. we are waiting here.

Okay then

He has hit some otherjackpot is what he says

ln the role of a senior citizen to ask forthe girl's hand, Uncle you are there?

Senior Citizen? Who is the senior citizen, you beggar?

l will run the car over and kill you .

By senior citizen, l meant the maturity and not age!

Can l able to call you Mature Citizen instead?

Not possible.

How much?

The girl there.. she is the one..

Rs.36

Come, let's talk to her

You stand here. Watch how we men deal this.

That's why l said, l will also come.

What is the guarantee of you being a man?

-Do l need to show you? - l... give you a whack..

Hello girl, please wait for a minute..Just a minute.

You don't get tensed up. All will be fine..

My name is Omanakshan Pillai..l was in Police

People who love call me Omana!

l own 3 - 4 flats in Kochi

So?

Ah!

No, we'll come to the point

There.. do you know that person?

That.. lsn't that Rajakumaran?

O my God!

Did you study in Kadukka City school?

Kadukka City?

Didn't you recognize me, Rajakumaran?

No, l'm not able to recognise

My dear Rajakumara.. l'm the old Manjari Muralidharan..

Now did you recognize me?

Uncle, it will not work..Please come.

-Will not work..Please come - What?

Are you leaving? Rajakumaran, did you come to see me?

l'm a teacher now

A teacher...Malayalam teacher

Dude! Who is she?

When she said Malayalam teacher, you got scared..

-Tell the truth, who is she? -May be his Malayalam teacher!

She must have caught him copying!

What a great discovery! Get lost.

Who is she? Tell the truth!

O my Uncle! That's...l will tell you

She..

Won't suit me..Never can she.

She is a good match

Not for me! For Sir.

You got to first understand one thing.

For this appearance of yours, no match has yet been born.

Notjust that.. there will never be too...

How do one get a match for such an appearance!!

Without keeping the suspense, break the ice

Senapathy must have watched her bathing scene

Bathing scene! Where?

Are you guys not ashamed of talking of some women?

Didn't l say before, all this is not needed!

l have to go to the D.E.O office. You carry on.

Shall meet in the evening.

So get going

By the way...this bathing scene.. Where did you say it is..

Bathing scene?

Tomorrow morning 7.30 when l take my bath, you can come and watch!

Call up your dad and show it.

Crossed 98 years and still yearning to watch bathing scenes!

By the way, it's the first time l'm acquainting someone named Rajakumaran!

Ok.. Pleasure to have met you..

Brother, put it into my account

Are you leaving, bro?

His puffed rice candy?

That.. Nonsense! l got some work to do.

Rajakumaran Sir, are the majority of people in ldukki, Christians?

-Yes, Yes,..True! -Most of them are the Lord's sheeps..!

Good people

Hey Jabbaran!

Keep this Rs.50, l will take the balance later

Aren't we friends now?

l am not enjoying your addressing me as Jabbaran in public .

Have been look out for you very urgently..

What is the urgency? Are you getting married?

You just come up...

You had, in order to earn a good name, gone to meet a girl? What happened?

Uncle told me.

Good restaurants have women as waiters these days..

Unlike these idiots !!

Oh Uncle is also here!

Ok.. Sit sit..

So then how?

Did you tell him the matter?.

No..thought of bringing him here and giving the details.

Jabbran, we brought you here to tell you something.

l understood that.. tell me what the matter is!

An opportunity has come by now!

You know, opportunities wait for no man!

What a pity! Please come to the matter.

Jabbaran, are you a virgin?

What?

Are you able to understand what he is saying?

He is asking if anything has happened so far?.

Tell me, are you a Virgin?

Hmm..Yes..

Are you planning to break my virginity?

Yes!!

ls it without knowing all this, that you are carrying all the bad name earned around women

Dude doesn't sit there like a dumb head, if you're interested, say that!

Hey you dirty rascal, don't show your attitude to me..

Hey if you are interested, tell that..

Won't the interest be there? Ain't we all men?

Naughty thief..

By the way..How is it...without clarity about how and when..

Don't break your fingers, son.

Lust got into his fingers!

Jabbaran! Uncle has got a person

Through him it will be done

When Uncle hinted, we just thought of asking about your interest. That's all

Why have you not responded?

lf not interested, we will drop it.

Tell me..Tell me..

lnterest..

Why are you standing here?

You had something to tell, isn't it?

-How old are you?-19 yrs!

Get lost.. get off .

Standing to listen, naughty boy!

Not for nothing..He can sleep peacefully imagining this..

Say,..if you're interested

l do have interest, is she good looking?

Hmm..Miss World of last year. Don't provoke me..

Are you looking to getting it done or not?

When l think of the wrong that l am going to do, that is when..

Normally aren't such things only after marriage?

Oh Come on..Nothing like that...

One of my friends... Mr.Bhaskaran

3 years before his marriage, he....

Oh my Uncle! Will you stop this?

A mistake is a mistake always

lf one does it today or tomorrow

O my Uncle! Please advise him

When flower blossoms, butterfly comes, drinks honey

Sometimes pollination also happens

Another Butterfly also comes, drinks honey

Pollination also happen

Flower will just stand there like this..

Does that mean any Policeman would put butterfly in jail?

lt is the law of nature

Later, don't regret that you could not drink the honey like other butterflies

Did you get the point?

Hmm.

You are a Butterfly now.

l'm tired, dude. You tell him the rest.

ln your language, suppressing is like committing suicide

Enjoying is life!

-You mean suppressing is..... -suicide!

-Then Enjoying - life!

So what are you deciding?

Do you wish to live or die?

To live is what is desire now.., So l'm asking you

Can you avoid killing me?

As he said, a craving to live now

What if l break virginity next week?

You just go and lie down

Being alone...l find it difficult.. You also come

Shucks! Don't talk rubbish

Get going

Go and sit there

Don't worry, l will look after everything

-Just lie down, okay -Don't close the door

What is your name?

Since childhood, l had a wish..

To be with a Rajakumaran (Prince)..

Do you know my name?

No!

Please give me your hand

Give me the hand

Hold it..Come lets move.

You wild bison!

Come on, move.

Don't make noise and create problems

-She got slipped.-This fellow..

No, this Satan..cheated me.

-Nothing sister!-Look at this Sister.

You also come.

So whatever Sofi told about him the other day was true!

Well, who is this lady?

What happened?

lf such people are allowed to stay here, l will have to move from here.

l can't stay here anymore.

After spoiling everything just see how he sits drinking tea..

What did l do?

Wasn't it the two of you who said...

Butterflies, fertilization, sex what all was talked..

When l noticed the old man's rapacity, l knew this would end this way..

And when things got out of hand a neat slip away..

That was because..

What because..

Kuriachchan! Don't forget l am a retired police officer..

Now stop fighting amongst yourselves.. All these are natural..

That is because you do not know Sophia..

By now those old ladies would have informed her.

l am even scared of switching on the phone..

Leave Sophia's issue to me.. Now deal about his issue..

What is there to deal about me..

This is not the first time for me to get a bad name..

The only difference this time is that l did something and earned the bad name..

For that matter what is that you really did?

No.. At least something..

Whether you did or not... people around have assumed it that way.

For a few days it is good to stay away from this place

Where do l go from here?

Mookambika (temple).. There you make an offering called good-name-earning

Do that as fast as possible and come back here..

By then l will resolve all the issues here..

lf l had known these earlier, l would have made at least 50 vows to that Goddess

You don't have to do 50. Do just one..

There is a train leaving at 7 pm. Bharatan will come with the ticket

By the time you return, if l be alive we shall meet..

Yours and Sophie's issue is now been taken on by Uncle,

My case is been taken on by Mookambika Goddess..

Travel is good..

lt is said that travel does turn life upside down..

Ah ha.. l have reached the station.. About to board the train..

Vow?

That, l know, was a trick you and Uncle wanted to play on me..

Just to have me out of view for a few days..

As l did not want you to be hurt, l played the fool..

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry son, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry..

That was here...

Amidst all this a tragedy took place..

My bag went missing..

All the dresses were in it..

No dresses!! . Come without them..

Don't make me angry..

Hey..Nothing...

What..

Till there all that l have is this..

Where are you now?

l am dead.. Are you coming? l am at the station.. When?

l am disconnecting..

lf l stand here, l will need to visit the temple again..

l don't care..

Ya..

Excuse me..This is my seat.. 23.

Oh.. l am sorry.. l did not notice..

That is my seat..

All these seats are free.. ls it a must that you have sit on that seat?

Listen.. l am in the train.. where are you?

See even l have mother and father..

Didn't l walk out on them..

l am in S4.. How many times do l have to tell that?

Where? l do not see you..

Vivek! Come quick..You are always late..

Where are you?

Sh.. disconnected..

Hello.. Hello..

The person you are searching for is in here..

Manjima.. Please understand my situation..

Now What? l am here, right!

Vivek Please..

Manjima.. l am getting a little nervous..

Vivek, what about me?

lf you ask this way.. l do not have any answer for it..

l have my job also ready in Kochi..You know..

And are you here only on my insistence?

Come on.. lt is already..

That is Sudhir..

lf he comes to know....all is finished..

l am sorry dear..l am so tensed..

- Tea.. Tea.. Tea...-Tea..

He got down at the previous station..

Guess some phone call had come..

Hello Sudhi..

Helloo..

So now what is to be done?

He must have had something urgent, isn't it?

Hey, what is this you are doing?

What happened madam?

-He caught hold of me.. - Me..?

Molesting girls..! Move..

She was to jump out..

Just to damage the reputation of Malaylis, these guys..

Do let them know that l did not do anything unwanted.

As she has no complaint, l am letting you free..

Sir, these people..

ln an hour's time Trivandrum mail would be arriving,

lt will be less crowded..you can leave....

You stay here..

lf l get to know that you have even spoken to a girl..

A prince..!!

Hello Manjima..

How did you get my name?

That .. when he came he called you..

And then at the station also you mentioned..

What was that made you say l held you?

What else! Should l have said that l was about to kill myself?

Ha.. Ha.. Ha.. Ha.. Ok..

At both places it was me who saved you..

l was really wondering why you had me trapped!

So your place...

Hello..Mr... l did not ask you to save me..

Nor did l ask you to walk along..

So please... Leave me alone..

So now what do you do?

l guess the guy cheated you..

lf people do not want us, we too must have the attitude not to want them..

The disappointment will just vanish..

How about having him thrashed by Byju!

Lets deal that way..

Really..

Byju is betterthan Suku

All who have tasted Byju's thrashing have fallen in love..

That is the way l got into acquaintance with him...

We had a skirmish in Rajkumari city..

Why, why is it that you aren't talking?

lf you keep thinking about unwanted stuff, you will stay disappointed..

Listen, even l am traveling to Kochi..

What is your name you said?

Rajakumaran (Prince)

Boss, are you cutting your moustache?

No.. l am having food... Can't you see?

Greatjoke!

Didn't yourfriend come?

He was to reach this morning. Hasn't come yet..

Ensure that Mani cleans my car..

But Mani is yet to come.

There he comes..

He hasn't ..

-Not that - What is it not...

Look behind.. you lousy..

Lousy your father..

lsn't it Rs.50.00?

Ah!! Who is this girl with him?

Jesus..! He left scared of a woman and returns with a woman !

Oh no!

This is Bharathan.. our Kuriachan's own..

He is the all in all around this place..

This is better than the set up of last time..

-What's this dude? - What..?

What's this?

This.. this is Manjima..

-You come here.. - What?

Come here...Asking for trouble! Come here l say

Where are you from?

What is your problem? Who is this girl?

Why is it that you got her here?

Dude.. that is a long story..

Her name is Manjima..

lf give you one tight..

Listen to what l am saying..

l met her at the railway station.

So..Why did you get her here?

Need not be here.. if we could arrange a place somewhere else to stay..

An innocent..

l am aware of everything that takes place here..

Without my knowledge nothing happens here.

Here for a day or will you be around for some days?

lf you could give me your number l shall call you later..

l accept everything you said..

But where do we put her up? Here?

Not here.. Some hostel that you know of..

As if l run ladies hostels here..!

What do you think?

Are you intending to protect everyone on the roads?

Don't scold me..

lf left alone, l am scared she would do something unwarranted,

that's why l am saying this

Don't give up on this!

Man, it is not that l am giving up. lt is just not what l can.. That is why

,First of all to see a girl standing with you itself is cause fortrouble..

After having begged and cajoled that lousy Secretary,

the issue has just been resolved

Amidst that..

Now.. isn't our need a place for herto stay fortwo days?

Enough.. More than enough..

lf she doesn't mind she can stay in my flat..

Anyway l am leaving for Trivandrum tomorrow..

Then what is the problem.. there are 4 rooms ..

What.. what is the matter?

That girl there is his friend..

She needs to be put up for two days..

So l suggested that my flat can be used..

l am anyway leaving tomorrow.. to Sophie..

What happened? Any issues..

No.. No..Nothing.. Just a minute

There is nothing unresolved if l intervene..

l will sort it..

-So..- Nothing So..!

What is all this you are saying?

Especially that it has been not even four days since the problem took place..

ln that case you too are an accused in a few people's eyes..

Don't talk stupid..

That girl needs a place to stay for two days. lsn't that all?

Let that girl stay in my flat. Done.... Problem solved..

Done.. isn't that fine Kuriacha?

lf Uncle says so.. then so be it..

By the way if anyone enquires let them know it is my daughter..

The beggars here haven't seen my daughter.

All they know is that she is in US

So no other problem is expected to arise.

ln that case shall l call Manjima?

Yeah

Manjima.. this is Omanakshan Pillai..

Need not.. l shall..

My name is Omanakshan Pillai. l am fondly called Omana.

l was an SP in police. Now l have about four flats in Kochi.

Uncle.. stop bragging..and come to the point..

What is y our name, you said?

Manjima... he did tell us about the issue..

ln Kochi to get an accommodation in a jiffy is slightly difficult..

Don't worry. l can leave..

lt is not that.. We don't want you to think otherwise..

What else will she think!

Dear.. l am staying alone here..

You can put yourself up in my flat for 2 days..

lf you get so blunt with her, what can she say..

We policemen are like this..

Whatever is to be said is said on the face..

l do not mind.. but for you Uncle..

l have no issues either..it is a wonderfor me..

An age for wondering..!

Bharata, take those luggages in..

Need not.. l will carry them..

l forgot to introduce you..

This Rajkumaran's friend. She is coming from America..

ln an Autorickshaw?

ls it in an autorickshaw someone comes from America, Bull head!

Landed by flight and Rajakumaran picked her up..

Lets move

From Mangalapuram we were together in the train..

That is how we got acquainted.

Sir, is Mangalapuram after America or is America after Mangalapuram?

Just a boat ride from Mangalapuram is America.

- So close,is it? - That close it is...

ln that case l should definitely visit!

What is it that you are adding up on your thoughts?

About him..?

No. Not that..

l just..

Listen.. do not lie if they cannot produce results..

lt is when you are alone that unwanted thoughts keep accumulating

Never sit alone..

Look here..

She seems to be quiet serious..

Shouldn't we be altering this seriousness?

Sure.. Why not..

Manjima... say bye to that.. we will look for someone else.

- See he is free..- Kuriacha..

l.. l just tried a comedy.. Did not work..

Cheap ones.. do they land?

ln that case if l try singing..

- You please don't sing..- What about me?

l have a song on hand..Please stand by me.

Be in rhythm.. it has a rhythm..

People of yore...not here..

Neither will they come..

-Traveller ain't there in front your graveyard.. - Please

''Aren't you a pomegranate blossom?''

''Ajasmine flower?''

''Do not wither and fall slowly''

''Don't allow the doe-eyes to well up''

''Let not words tremble''

''Don't get smouldered by the thorn of desire''

''Aren't you a pomegranate blossom?''

''Ajasmine flower?''

''Do not wither and fall slowly''

''ln the bough of rainbow,

in the garden of golden dream,

the spring season of love spreads its feathers again''

''With little flowers , we'll laugh our fill and make our hearts full''

''Aren't you a pomegranate blossom?''

''Ajasmine flower?''

''Do not wither and fall slowly''

''We'll bloom as stars''

''Fly as feathers''

''Come above the trees''

''We'll become sun rays

in the path of time''

''Let us become companions

And search for a nest''

''Aren't you a pomegranate blossom?''

''Ajasmine flower?''

''Let not words tremble''

''Don't get smouldered by the thorn of desire''

So it was in 1644 he invented the Barometer..

You do not know what a Barometer is..

You forgot..

You can sit only after you have recalled it..

Won't study..Why do you come here at all..

Sir, Why is this boy been made to stand?

Sorry Sir, l had asked him to come prepared and he has forgotten everything..

What happened, Son?

l had studied, but forgot everything..

Did you study to forget?

This is his usual trick..

l did study to remember..

But l forgot..

Then do one thing..

Study to forget..Then you will remember..

But Sir.. l will study..

l am saying that seriously..

You study to forget..You will remember..

lsn't that so Sunil Sir?

But....

Do you have a doubt?

Lets do one thing..

Where is his book?

There is the book..

Oh! the book is here..

ls this the answer that you forgot?

lf you look at for a minute, will you be able to recall?

l can.

Then take a look..

At that moment Sir will say something, that you should forget..

Look..

Ok. recall..

As you recall, do not remember about our actor Mohanlal.

Go ahead.. Recall...

Close your eyes and recall..

Do we too need to close our eyes?

What happened, son?

This.. This Mohanlal brings the laughter..

Can't think of anything..

Ha.. ha..That is how it is..

Whatever we are trying to forget,

that is the first thing that we will remember, isn't that so?

Yes Sir..

Hmm. That seems to be a big idea..

This ain't any idea..

While celebrating with friends is when the passing away of father comes to mind..

At that moment rather than hurt friends,

you might try to forget your father..

But father's thought does not vanish..

That is when you realize,

that whatever in life one wants to forget keeps coming back..

Thereafter any kind of challenging essays is learnt with the intention to forget..

Even if you forget what you studied to remember

you will not forget what you studied to forget..

That is all..

Not any idea..

Sorry Sir..

Do you ask any questions to yourteachers? Sit down

Aren't the teachers supposed to ask the questions?

We the children are supposed to answerthem.

Smart..Sit down.

Teachers who have learnt, ask questions to you who are learning,

how do you think you will answer?

lt is you who are supposed to ask questions to the learned teachers.

A good student is not someone who gives the best answers..

But someone who asks the best questions. Did you understand!

Hey... Manjari...

lsn't Manjari in Malayalam?

Yes! Manjari is in Malayalam..but Manjari..

Do you know her Sir..She is our Malayalam teacher.

Manjari.. here??

Oh dear sir.. you are the one who did not see when we met

and did not speak when we spoke..

As if we are meeting for the first time..

Then why was it you ran away when you saw me?

First l did not recognize you..

Later when l got to know it was Manjari, l was embarrassed.

Why..

No idea..

Teacher who teaches teachers..

Good..

Married?.

Na.. Not yet..

Where are you staying, Rajkumaran?

Remember Kuriachan..

Maybe!!

Yes..With him..

l have got a class now.. let me leave..

Will you be coming often?

Sure will come..No.. will be coming..

l will move

Ok..

What is it?

-Listen.. - Yes

When they said, in the staffroom, that Rajkumaran Sir has come

l came to take a look whether it is this Rajkumaran..

Would you give me your phone no?

-Yes..- Silence..

- 944..-That...

- 33..- One minute..

- 00 - Please hello.

133

We shall meet..

Sudhakaran Sir is waiting to meet you, Sir..please come.

Why haven't you been talking, Manjima?

Nothing..

There were four missed calls from Dad..

l did not see them..

ls it after he knew something is what l am a bit scared..

ls that why the silence?

All that we shall solve..

Not that...

Right from morning there is some tension..

Do not know what..

Some days l do get tensed up..

Tensions are not for carrying along with, Manjima

They are for discarding enroute..

Good thought..

ls it to say that, you stopped on the road?

Lets dispose off the tension, then we shall go..

Ohhh.. My sir..

had there been a switch, l would have dropped it longback..

Get down..

l will show you a trick..

Here, with this Rs.50.00 buy a gift from that lady's shop and get it gift wrapped..

- Here it is.. -l do not want it..

Go and gift it to anyone on the road..

-To whom do l give it?.-To anyone..

l am not willing..

Don't you want to see that tension removing trick?

Go..

-Uncle, would you like to have a gift? -What is it?

-lt is only a gift.. -No.. No..l don't want it..

Please take the gift....

Uncle..But.. But..

Excuse me..

Hi..

Would you like to take a gift?

Hellooo..

So cute..

-What is your name?-Nakshatra..

So sweet..

Ok Bye..

Oh.. Thank you.. Thank you..

Somehow that was done..

Nice cute little kids..

Now.. where is that trick.. Show..

Did that tension go?

Oh that one.. that disappeared. Some...

So the tension removal switch is in Manjima's hands..

Tension is not for carrying along, it is for discarding enroute...

Happiness Day..

-Hey there..goes Manjari..-Who..

A teacher..

This..

This is the Manjima l have been mentioning about.

Manjima.. This is Manjari..a Teacher..

Where are you going?

Stepped out for some shopping..

l could drop you..

Thank you, l stay close by.. will walkdown..

lf need..

Na.. Na..

So then we take leave..

Don't escape with that statement there is nothing..

No escape here.. a teacher l know.. thats all..nothing else..

Will not work, Prince..

lf just an acquaintance, then,

why did you introduce me as the Manjima l had mentioned about..

So you have spoken about me..

lf so then there must be that kind of an acquaintance..

-That because..-Don't cover up..

Hey.. it is been for some time this blah.. blah.. blah..is going on..

Uncle, what does he keep saying?

That no girl older than 15 years ever smiles at him..

But today l saw..

A long everlasting smile..

Who is that..Dude?

-One Manjari Teacher..-Which one..

The one you had spoken about last and we had gone to meet.

Her name matches somewhat

Even that was a teacher..

Uncle, that is the one..

-Today also we met up..-Who is she..

You don't stand a chance..

Better talk quick..

Omana has taken over the case..

We should know all..

You were here..

l searched in the room..

-Everything because of this guy.. -Me? What did l do?

Got into any new case?

-Not new.. an old one..-What is it Uncle?

Man, Which is this Manjari?

His friend is what she is saying.

Friends...not something l have been told..

But some...... thing is there between them..

Ya.. ya.. what is that is what l am asking...

-All because of you is what he is saying.. -Me.. .What did l do with you?

Which... Manj....

Hey.. our Manjari..ls it that?

Manjari Muraleedharan..

Our Manjari Muraleedharan..

Yeah...

Oh yes.. there is...Comedy..full comedy..

l will tell you the full thing..

Need not.. l shall..

l shall..

Need not..need not..

-Brother Kurian.. you tell..

Man, l am going to share..

Those days it was only at railway stations or airports that we have heard good English

ln our school when attendance used to be taken till that day we have heard only Hajar

Suddenly one day when the name was called out

instead of Hajar a new word echoed in the school

Manjari..

Present Teacher..

ln all this where is this guy's hand?

That l'll tell

-Hmmm.. That is true.

No, l myself shall tell that..

Then say..

Uncle, haven't you heard the actors telling the actresses in the movies

You came into my life like that fallen piece of rainbow.,..

Our dude here too created one such scene..

The day before the summer vacations were to begin.

On top of that Plane Rock..

-Kuriachan....hey Kuriachan.. -What is it dude?

l...l am falling in love with a girl

Would you let her know, l love her lot?

That all l will do..

But if it's Sujatha, this won't work out Jabbran

Sujatha...Who wants her..

-Another girl?-Yes another girl

Who is that?

l will not name her.. But if need be provide a clue..

What clue?

Tell me

-ls this clue inside your knickers..-Shi...

She is as fair as my thigh..

Tell me who it is?

Someone as fair as Rajakumaran's thighs..

Ain't it Manjari?

ls it to tell her?

That.. l will do..

This moment is when she usually returns from tuition..

How about telling her now?

l'll not come nearto you

You come

Will you really say?

Me? You watch

So are you not scared

This is quite simple

There she is... Manjeri

You go

What l have to say?

This is quite easy for you right? Go

She studies in English medium. So l will talk to her in English

What is wrong if l asks whether she loves him in English?

Dude tell

l told you, l'm going to tell

Manjeri, will you wait a moment please

l had one thing to say...

What is it brother?

Manjari... do you know that person?

Hmm..

Rajakumaran

What is it that you have to ask?

Manjari.. Do you.. have some liking .. forthat person?

Do you? Tell

Stop drawing with your legs and tell

Wait dude... wait

Manjari...

You have not responded?

May be..

What?

May be..

Ooh... Ok then....

You..... some Englishman will come for you.. Manjari..

Hey Dude. What did she say?

She is not for you... You come along..

What did she say, tell me that.

She..

She is maybe..

-What is maybe..-You don't know maybe..

Dude she does not like you..

You.. come along..

Really?

Then in our village nobody knew what maybe meant..

Later when did you find out?

Later we had grammar class during vacation..

That is when we got the meaning..

Then ran him round and thrashed him..

Afterthat you did not get to meet Manjari?

By the time we got the meaning, she had shifted school.

ln that case how about making Manjari the one to change his bad name..

How?

Dumb head.. How about flirting with her once again?

Na.. Na.. That cannot happen..

She would have been married by now..

Don't know..

For that matter she has not..

l did not get to see any marks of having been married..

l had scanned her completely before parting..

Hey naughty old man..

- Lets get to the matter..- Okay tell

Rajakumaran is starting to be in love from today..

Whom?

Manjari Muralidharan..

Sir, Haven't you heard this? Love is Life..

lf you haven't loved in life once you won't know the meaning of life..

So from today onwards Rajakumaran enters into a world of love..

Here, this is his phone

Get my phone too..

Why are these phones for?

What are they for? You don't know?

Making calls!

Call whom?

Who else? Your Princess! Manjari!

What for?

l will tell you. Haven't you phoned her till now?

4 Missed Calls, 5 Outgoing Calls and 7 Messages

Smart. Has kept note of everything!

All that was during broad day light and not when..

Listen, Love has no day and night

Lovers share their dreams and desires only during nights, don't you know?

All that...l don't know

What you don't know find out and learn

This is too much. What am l to talk at night!!

Moreover there is nothing that urgent.

What to say and how to say we will tell you

Wouldn't we want to know,

the voice, conversation and conduct of the woman you intend to marry.

Doesn't marriage come later?

So the urge is there!

Where is this Kuriachhan? lsn't he also needed?

He is outside. Talking to Sofiachechy on the phone

Are there bull heads like these?

On joyous occasions, l do not like to hear even my wife's voice

Please! Come on Raja! Take the phone.

l will tell you

Hold the phone close to your ear,

and in hushed tones,

when Manjarichechy picks the phone,

Say Hello

What... if l tell it louder, what is the problem?

That's how it is. At night, got to be told softly.

What kind of a set up is that?

Listen! l will get angry. First say hello

Okay, will send.

Shut up you! Sit here.

Then, with the same tone ask ''What are you doing''

-Then..- She will say ''sleeping''

Then will Manjari also speak hushedly?

-Spoilt it! Dumbhead! - Shhhhh!

ldiot! First, listen to what is being told

Ok..Let me listen..

When someone talks hushedly, we also tend to speak that way

That's great!

Oh no! Come on speak over the phone

Feeling embarrassed!

What for?

l don't know

Hello speak! Let us listen

-Hello! - Yes, what?

-l am provoked to say something! -Nice hush!

Speak softly

l haven't spoken hushedly with anyone so far, that's why

Well, what has happened? Has he started phoning?

Or messed it up completely!

Would you shut up! Carry on saying.

We will do one thing. Hold the phone to your ear

l will make a call

Just repeat whatever is told to you

That is Perfect!

Come on, listen..take the phone

Done!

Come on, pick the phone

Pick dude!

Hello..

Felt any jolt?

Kuriachha! Felt like something gliding through my ears

Her breath caressed my cheeks!

See! Goose bumps on my hands!

Even l get the same experience,

when l speak with Women, l feel restless, a thrill, and a stand up...

Upto about the age of 40, l used to have similar experiences when l see women

But now when l see woman there is a kind of curiosity

That is because of age! - ls that so?

Get lost.. Just to spoil.

lrritating! You guys carry on.

Come on, pick the phone.

Listen to whatever is told.

-Hello! - Hello!

What are you doing?

Speaking over the phone!

One more time.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

l'm lying down.

Shucks! These are old stuff! Old stuff!

Old stuff!!

She will say she is sleeping

Then she will ask ''What are you wearing''

What is its Colour? What is the colour of thing inside that? Am l correct?

During my young age, in the nights l used to ask all this over the phone

Were there mobile phones during your young age?

You want a mobile? l got a big mobile with me.

Would it get charged?

Why is all this being asked?

This is what is going to be asked, so what?

He being na ve, let's not go that deep

Come on Kuriachha! ls he going to pretend love and dump Manjari teacher?

l swear! l will not deceive anyone

Then musn't he know his girl's dress sense, colour, her behavior and sleeping time etc?

That is correct!

You have been often saying Correct !!

Please don't mess up, Uncle

Manjima, Go ahead with the rehearsal.

No more rehearsals! Direct calling at 10.30 p.m.

Ok

First..

Hello..

Second..

What are you doing?

Third..

Are you sleeping?

Fourth..

What are you wearing?

Hmm..Correct!

This time perfect!

Play is becoming serious now

lsn't it forthat all of us are playing here?

-lf all of you stand here, l will not be able to do - Why?

When l look at his face, l m not able to speak

What is wrong with my face?

-l feel awkward! - Awkward? What for?.

Doesn't matter. Don't look at them

-We will go under this bedsheet! - Now see!

What is to happen? Even if the two lie underthe sheet nothing is gonna happen dude!

He is very straight

Skirt! l didn't notice

What a tragedy is this, dude!

lt's good to keep an eye on them

Kissing sound

Kissing sound, is it?

lsn't that kissing sound? Exactly!

Sleeping?

What are you wearing?

Bell is ringing

Pick

Pick it

Not picking

Would pick!

- Hello - Hello

What happened to your voice, Sir?.

What happened?

Spoilt it!

Didn't l already say l won't speak in hushed voice?

Come on speak

Speak

What have you worn?

Dammit! That was fourth one.

Shucks! He messed up

Doesn't matter! What is it that happened here?

l'm fed up

Bro! Go ahead and love this girl

You marry her

She is really a rocking lady!

What do you mean?

lf it was some other woman and if such a handsome guy calls at this unearthly hours..

definitely she would have called back

Know why?

To find out ''Why you called? Got anything to say''?

l've come across such things many times during my hostel life

She is really great!

Manjari got class tomorrow. How can l face her?.

Stupid idea!!

Hello please stop

Hurry up teacher! l think class has begun!

His philosophy and stories are damn boring to listen!

You needn't rush, teacher!

However it's quite enthralling to keep admiring him

Also appears to be very innocent from his conversation

Not at all. Sunil sir told me he has weakness for women!

No, l don't think so.

-Why late, teacher? - That's..

Don't students learn from you?

And we keep shouting at them..Get in..Get in.

This way if you move around in the sun, you will lose your glamour

By the by, where did we stop..

Teacher's glamour!

-Pardon.. - Teacher's glamour!

-Aren't you from Kundanoor School? - Yes

Then, doesn't matter!

Yeah! Got it!

Lets not encourage competitive learning

Scoring higher than him or her.. Lets stop such things here

Creating another child as his enemy and studying only to beat him

Causes for a mentality that we teachers have to make a note.

He will keep searching for enemies in society to beat

That is not education.

Education should be a game of victory for all without defeating anyone

What happened, sir?

Nothing.

You smiled, sir?

That is because l taught..

See! When l smiled, teacher also smiled

Look..Manjari teacher also smiled

This is today's class - Keep smiling!

Keep smiling at all children every day

No word carries the power of smile

You know how enthralling it is to admire smiling children!

Not only children, smiling teachers are also interesting!

Sunil sir! Please smile!

Students first imitate their teachers

The moment you stepped in, picked up the phone and started playing games

-Sir, that is.. -Let that be with me for some time.

An urgent message

Like as Swami Vivekanandan said,

to see from the eyes of the child sitting in front of him

to hear through his ears and to think from his mind is what a teacher ought to be

The ''Simple Teaching'' project will not interfere in your regular subjects

But will interfere in the teaching methods!

Aim needs to be for the tomorrow

Children of today are Tomorrow's citizen!

lf Children of today are good; Tomorrow's citizens will be good

lf People are good, Country will be good

From amongst you, even if one starts working towards it,

Changes begin there..

Sir, what changes can just one of us bring about?

Are we just one?

l mean, lf l alone thinks, what changes can happen?

Correct..Correct

As if it is the first time we are being told this!

This Mahatma... Gandhi, was it one or two persons?

One person

Mother... Teresa, was it one ortwo persons?

One person

Nelson... Mandela, was it one or two persons?

Yes, one person

Abraham.... Lincoln, was it one ortwo persons?

One person, sir.

Hmm..They took on the responsibilities of others! - Hmm..yes

We teachers ought to people who are willing to

take on the full responsibility of children coming to us!

But Lilikutty teacher alone finds it difficult, isn't it?

Sorry sir, l will try my level best

-That is where the problem lies! - What problem?!

''l will try my level best'' teacher, please come here

Sir, l said l will try my level best

Not to hit you l got something to tell you. Please come.

What is wrong with him? Needlessly...

Please come.

Try picking this phone

This phone! lsn't this my phone?

-Oh no..l.. - Thanks

l didn't ask you to pick the phone

-l asked you try picking it - Oh

Keep it down and try picking it.

-Try picking it - l picked it

-No, l only asked you try picking it - Then, how?

Try picking! All of you cheer up forteacher!

-Try picking..-Try.

-Try..- Come on try

Please try

Come on try!

Again picked it! l just asked you to try !

l didn't ask you to pick it.

Teacher, what were you telling a while back?

You said '' l will try my level best''

Pick it!

How easy it is!

Which is easy - Trying my level best or doing it?

Doing it is easy!

lsn't doing easy? Yes!..Go..Go.

Oh.. My God...!

ln saying ''will try my best'' there is a lack of self confidence and dedication.

However in saying ''will do it'' there is Self confidence and dedication!

So hereafter let's not try, let's do it!

lf l say more, you will get bored

Tea and biscuits are served in the Staff room. Take a tea break!

Please move. Let me have tea and biscuits

Come teacher, let's go for tea

No point in cribbing afterthey are over

Sir, aren't you coming for tea?

Definitely! You carry on going. l will come later.

You are in a great form today!

Smiling class!!

Just forthe heck..!!

Why did you call me last night?

My phone got switched off, that is why l couldn't call back

But l called this morning, but you didn't pick

That's ..When l sleep late, l make calls in my sleep.

ls it? Not been thrashed that's why! Calling up women in the nights!!

The day before l had actually called Kuriachan!

Please don't mistake me.

Teacher!!

Ok, l won't

-lf l ask you something, would you agree? - What?

Can l leave now?

My mother has come. She is returning this evening

ls that all? l thought because my class is boring!

Boring?!

You know, sir, how fascinating it is to keep admiring you.

This is not me commenting, teachers are..

Everyone calls you Handsome teacher !

Whatever it be, after years l have a got a name that can earn me a place in any home.

Even if it is a tease, sounds nice! Handsome!!

ln case you are free after class, why don't we meet up?

-What for? - For a cup of tea!

Oh Oh.. doesn't the saying go ''Where there is a tea, there is a hope''

-What? - Nothing..We shall surely meet, give a call

-So then l take leave. Will give you a call. - Okay

Excuse me! From this school?

Yes, please tell me.

Manjari teacher?

She just left for home

- She said she was going home. You could meet her there - Ok

You are teacher's...?

l'm teacher's husband, Antony!

Manjima, come here. l got something important to say

-Come l say - What?

Come l will say

-Leave my hand! - l will tell you, come.

People are watching us! What is the matter?.

l will say, come.

All are noticing us! Oh god! What is the matter?

-Come l say. - Slowly

What is all this?

What?

lf l say something, will you get shocked?

-Our Manjari teacher.. - Yeah..

..is married.

What?

Our Manjari teacher is married!!

Shocked!!

l was also shocked initially!

And was melting like a Candle at School!

Her husband came to school today

and enquired about teacher with me.

When l asked who he was, he told me he was teacher's husband

Like an atom bomb hurled at my chest, my heart burst!

l cancelled my class and rushed to Manjari teacher!

Only after reaching there, l heaved a sigh of relief!

For what?

That is the suspense!

Tell me what teacher said

Please say

They are separated!

for the last one and half years, they are staying separate!

That's why Manjari came here on a transfer

To tell me this she in fact invited me over for an evening tea.

By then, her husband had arrived.

lf she is willing to disclose such personal details to me,

then definitely she must have something towards me!!

-Something is there, right? - Yeah

l will show this

Aren't you ashamed to go after a married woman? Dammit!

What is there to get ashamed off?.

Don't l have many negatives?

Life is about moving on understanding one another!

Women always have a place for their husbands in their hearts.

And the place for a lover is on the other side of the wall!

lf l marry her, won't that get resolved?

Won't it uncle? Won't it?

Why are you silent?

Oh it's Manjari teacher! lt's her 10th call today

Will attend and be back.

Hello!

Hello, yes l reached my flat

What to say?

lf l'm drinking 2 bottle of beer today at your cost

lt is only for telling you something

-That l understood -What?

That you got something to tell me

About what?

You haven't said that yet

Hey Jabbaran, that's what l'm going to say

Yes, tell me.

Are you planning to go after a married woman?

Won't all the names people have called you become true?

l may have been with you in many things,

But going after a married woman is not agreeable for me at all.

l'm also a husband, l too have that tension

Oh my Kuriachha! What are you trying to say?

Don't try to avoid..

Did you tell Uncle that you are going to marry that teacher?

Just because we did some mischief during our immaturity,

do you think l'm after Manjeri because of that?

See Kuriacha! Who are we? We are friends, right?

Very intimate friends!

ln that intimacy, would l fall in love with you?

-Would l marry you?- Shucks!

Now, l and Manjari are also like that now.

Very intimate friends.

Moreover l have no girl friends

The present Manjari isn't the old Manjari.

Has many problems!

Got lots to tell!

Sadness, happiness and Emotions!

Who is there to listen? Has got nobody!

So what do l do! l gave an ear to her.

Sadness decreases if expressed to someone

Happiness increases when shared with someone

How can a friend marry another friend?

My dearfriend! Here lies your problem.

lf you are asked anything, you slip away like an eel!

Didn't you tell Uncle you are marrying her?

To provoke Uncle, l just cracked thatjoke

Then what about the one you told Manjima?

That was also a joke

That too to provoke her?

Such fun with women is more entertaining than with men.

lt is now l am getting the point

-So you got the point, isn't it? - Yes

Then, how about marrying Manjima?

l'm serious, buddy

lf she doesn't mind, then marry her

As Uncle said, what if this is that girl who has arrived - Manjima!

Though she may not match you in age,

Manjima will be the best woman for you in all aspects!

Not a Woman, she is a girl

There is his bull shit!

lf the Lord has made someone suffer,

The Lord also gives an equal amount of happiness to him.

What do l...

You needn't tell anything more.

Are you going to say she is also your friend?

Exactly that is what l am about to say...

You..!

Never destined for something good!!

By the way, Rajakumaran Sir, who would have you become if not a teacher?

l don't get you.

That's..

He asks what would have you become if not become a teacher

What is the doubt? Would've become a Police officer!

Why Police officer?

Both are habituated to obedience!! Not to obeying..

You are not fair,Sir! You did not write any song for our school children.

l did write ..Tup Tup..to everyone

Tup..?

Hmm..Tup..Tup..a toffee song!

''Tup..Tup..Tup..Tup...''

''Tup..Tup...Tup...Tup...''

''Tup..Tup...Tup...Tup...''

''Tup..Tup...Tup...Tup...''

''Tup..Tup..Tup..Tup...''

Do you see in the tree of sweetmeats, a toffee

''Tup..Tup...Tup...Tup...''

lf you touch this tree, sweets will fall

''Tup..Tup...Tup...Tup...''

''lf you bring bags and baskets, we'll gather sweets''

''When you reach home, child, you'll get toffee''

''Tup..Tup...Tup...Tup...''

''Forthe naughty girls playing with pebbles Give a hard toffee''

''A toffee hard enough to break theirteeth''

''For the lazy child - a cane toffee''

''Tup..Tup...Tup...Tup...''

''For the smart one - the best toffee''

''Tup..Tup...Tup...Tup...''

''For the boy who gets zero - a round toffee''

''For the all-rounder - why any toffee?''

''Tup..Tup...Tup...Tup...''

''Do you see in the tree of sweetmeats, a toffee''

''Tup..Tup...Tup...Tup...''

''For the rowdy boys, who quarrel without reason''

''Give hot toffees

Which burn their whole stomachs''

''Forthe liar - a fried toffee''

''Tup..Tup...Tup...Tup...''

''For the fat child - a toffee to lose weight''

''Tup..Tup...Tup...Tup...''

''For the one who shouts loudly , a toffee which sticks to his lips''

Boys who don't come to school, no toffee!

''Tup..Tup...Tup...Tup...''

''Do you see in the tree of sweetmeats, a toffee''

''lf you touch this tree, sweets will fall''

''lf you bring bags and baskets, we'll gather sweets''

''When you reach home, child, you will get toffee''

''Tup..Tup...Tup...Tup...''

''Tup..Tup...Tup...Tup...''

Have you been waiting for long?

No..Just a while.

You ordered something?

No..l don't need anything. Orderfor yourself.

What happened?

What?

Nothing

l got bad head ache

Haven't any new stories, about Sir, come out?

Whose?

Handsome Sir's

Hasn't he got free from his work at school yet?

No

So that is your problem

Missing his story telling has an impact on you!!

Actually there is too much of workload at office

Even mummy and Papa haven't called for last two days

When l go to my room, l feel a bit happy

As he is not there, even that is not there.

l'm terribly bored

See you came around to the same place..!

Where?

The Prince!

Our uncrowned Prince!

Bull shit!

Never! lf it was me, l would've captured and put him into this bottle

Ah.. this is a different problem!

Orderjuice for me also

That l will. Shall l suggest a medicine to overcome this boredom?

You marry him.

His bad name will vanish and so will your boredom

How is my idea?

Order for two pizzas

You needn't marry him. For us Juice is enough

Bro, two papaya!

Actually l forgot to tell you something

What if we do the shoot tomorrow?

-What?- lnterview

Oh! l've been hearing this for a long time.

My dearfriend! Tomorrow is okay

-Can you please arrange? - When?

Oh Papa! One second.

So she has changed the straw vehicle and come with a girl..

Hello Master! Morning class with plants, ah!

What brings both of you here so early this morning?

Tell him..

As l have no class, l thought of speaking to plants!

Where are you girls going? For purchasing?

Yeah, thought of purchasing a person fully

Who is that?

Who else other than you Master?.

That means, we are going to set your interview today

-Today?-Yes

ln lieu of your ''Simple Teaching'' project being approved by the Government,

Yet to approve, it may be done.

Whether done or not, we are going to talk for 10 minutes today

Camera is also ready

No need of all this, Angelina

-lt's needed -Yes

You get the set up forthe shoot ready

Come quickly

l'll make him up and get him quickly

All the best! We'll meet downstairs

Let people talk good of you at least after watching your interview

lt's all not needed, Manjima

Please come.

Come l say.

No wonder why he gets these bad names!

Go..Go and sit.

What am l supposed to say?

l feel embarrassed seeing the camera!

My lips twist

No problem. Don't face the Camera

l will ask and you just need to reply to it.

What will you be asking?

Won't it be enough to know after l ask? Please sit.

-Shall we begin? - Yeah

Are you ready?

From the knowledge imparting School arenas,

A Teacher telling stories and witsjoins us!

Your question is wrong.

What was wrong?

You said schools impart knowledge, didn't you?

lsn't the Schools source of?

There is nothing such in fact!

Nowdays schools don't impart knowledge

Then, what is it they impart?

Well, what is knowledge?

Pardon!

What is knowledge?

Knowledge!

-That is an English word-Yeah!

This knowledge is something that reduces our curiosity!

Angelina , when did you realize that fire burns?

When you touched..

Till then you only knew what the word burnt means.

Only when you touched, you realized what burnt really is!

That's realization!

Henceforth it will only be realization from School

As this show is watched by many,

and did not want Angelina to get a bad reputation, l said that.

Okay. So lets take the intro later

And go straight to the questions!

Good morning viewers!

Greetings to all of you.

To tell a fact, what you said now is also wrong.

l don't understand, what is wrong in this?

Consider....Your previous night show flopped.

You have been at the receiving end of your Boss's anger and you are totally upset.

As far as Angelina is concerned it really is a bad day..

And if l come next morning and say

''Hello Good morning Angelina'' How would you feel?

Without getting the person's world,

saying that the nature is black or white is pointless.

The white people can say anything they like!

We have been teaching children from lower classes! l just said.

Well, let's go straight to the questions

Ready?

Okay, so first question,

Rajkumaran Sir, children who lack artistic skills..

Or imaginative talents

Such skills can't be acquired..

Aren't these inborn talents?

How could such children be trained?

lt is incorrect to say imaginative talents can't be acquired!

lt's present in all and is also easy to create.

How?

Reading is the access, it will happen

Read what?

Anything!

How can reading of four lines cause for a Visual sense?

Read this

A girl running on the ridges of farm lands!

What comes to your mind as you read those lines?

lf you ask me - running on the ridge of paddy fields is a girl..

A girl!

What is that girl wearing?

A skirt and a blouse!

Blouse..Any stud in her ear?

A tiny stud in her ear

How is her hairtied up?

She has braided her hairtwo sides

Does she have anything in her hand?

Guess she is carrying a lunch box!

Has she a dot on her forehead?

Hmm..no dot.

Running or walking?

Running.

Any smile on her face?

Yeah...a...Yes smiles!

ls that so? But l never wrote all this.

These things came from Angelina's imagination

So, to make visual sense, reading alone is enough

lf one reads, it awakens our imagination! Enough?

Yes!

That's what l meant!

What were your questions?

No sir..No more questions

Actually it was a 15 minutes programme

And we planned this portion for 5 minutes

lt's already 10 minutes.

With this, l will edit and make a rocking talk show!

Then interview...

is over, sir!

Thank you

Hari, please pack up. We'll move.

How is he?

Awesome, isn't it?

What kind is he!

Oh! Are you doing good, Uncle?

Not as fine as those old days! There is a curiosity!

Would you want curiosity?

l will be back now.

-Go..Go.. - Say dear!

Nothing

Don't drink water while taking food

Sir, Anna has a doubt

What is the doubt, Anna? Tell me.

We shouldn't drink water while taking rice, isn't it, sir?

What is the doubt in it?

Then, what about when drinking gruel, sir?

Teacher, l have a doubt

Yes, tell me. What is your doubt?

-This is Right - Hmm

This is also Wright

Then which is the right one in this right?

This one. This is Correct

So we write Right and read Right

And this Wright and read Right

Then which is the right Right ?

ln English Class, you got to speak in English

And not Malayalam, you get me?

Sir, l got another doubt

What ?

ln Jana Gana Mana..ls it Je or Ja?

Jana Gana Mana..

What happened, Sunil sir?

Children are asking too many doubts

Heck with his Simple teaching!

We were also discussing the same here.

Earlier, we just had to read and teach

Now, Children ask questions and teachers answer!

That is too simple!!

ls Jana Gana Mana - Ja orJe?

ln the book , it's Ja!

''A wife is a moon which showers love in the doorstep''

Forthat isn't she in US!

One way it is good...otherwise she would not have given me peace..

-Papa.. - Yes

Aahh.. Did our Sir come?

Let me go to his room and check..

Need not..hasn't come!

Did he call?

Not that either..

Probably he would have gone home..

Wherever it be..he could have atleast informed..

Phone is switched off.

To inform, there ain't anybody of his own here

Still...

Ain't any still...

Go and do yourjob..

Wait...wait..

What is it with you?

There is something stuffed up in your head..

l do not have anything stuffy..

Look kid..

l have a wife of your mother's age and a daughter of your age..

So once l see girls looks and their behavior l get to know the matter..

What are you intending to say?

The one that you are trying to cover up in front of me, is what l mean..

lt is not just me, even Kuriachan knows, Bharatan knows...

To say it in his language it can be known..

You are just imagining it..

l never told you what we thought..

He is a good guy..

Listen, Uncle don't make some unnecessary talks..

This is what needs to be spoken...

He following Manjari is because l asked him to..

The bad name earned around women can be removed only by a women ,

is what l said when l was drunk

No .. l have not felt that..

Hmmm...

''O full moon, did you come near my window?''

''O breeze, did a loved one come this way?''

''When love spreads unknowingly in my heart,

l dissolve in the new honeymoon for a glance''

''When l stand trembling, with longing eyes''

''O breeze, did a loved one come this way?''

''When love spreads unknowingly in my heart,

-Where is Uncle? - Uncle is inside.

Where were you since yesterday?

This was the question l expected first..

l..

Hey look at me.

Went to check on our teacher's ex.. Antony..

that he won't come back into teacher's life any more.

lt isn'tjust teacher's life anymore, it is mine too..

Forthat l got an assurance from Antony..

l have also brought something that could make you happy..

Uncle, l am anyway getting settled..

Then won't your daughter too not have a desire to regain her lost love..

To tell you the truth, l went to meet Vivek..

Couldn't get to meet him, but got his phone number..

After that l went to meet Antony..

Aren't you happy?

There are still more to share..

Did l tell you that l am desperate to love?

Did l?

No..So..

Then why?

Then why..

Who are you to me? Father?.... Brother?...

Then who ..Who are you to interfere in my personal things?

Stop, you..

Whom are you telling all this to?

That is what l too would like to know..

Who is he to me?

He is not both that you said..

Neither yourfather, nor your brother..

Why did you leave out other relationships?

ln the case of a girl it's notjust herfather or brother,

if she has a lover he can interfere,

if there is a husband he can interfere

Any doubts?

See Uncle...

What Uncle..

Do you know why she created this entire scene?

l do not know..

l thought she would be happy so l..

She would be happy.. if you tell her one thing..

See Uncle..This is not a joke.. please..

Keep your please with you..

l shall say..Those who are supposed to pair up must..

Dude.. what it is... is she now..

One minute..Manjari's phone..

Hello..Ya.. what...

Oh.. Why are you crying..?

Where are you now?

Come on.. Don't cry..

What is it...

lt is Manjari..She is wailing...

Let me go an find out..

Here.. and... there...

Listen to what we are saying..

We will resolve everything...

Dear Sir....Get the teacher here..

We will teach her what it is..

My dear Shukoor, do not get agitated like this

Let the PTA President come along..

We will have a solution for everything

He would be the first person to be beaten up when he steps into this compound

This case is different. lt is our religion that has been touched on..

lt definitely scalds us..

Shukoor, do not unnecessarily create a commotion

This is a school where Lily teacher, Jameela teacher and Pushpa teacher teach

No such problem can occur here. lt is my word..

Doesn't this need to be resolved?

Dude, we will have this resolved, but first you..

Eh.. Rajakumaran Sir!

Hello, Don't test our patience..

Try to understand

What is it Sunil Sir? What happened?

Didn't Manjari teacher say anything?

No.. she was wailing on the call..

The moment l heard that, l rushed.. What is it?

A student in 7B was asked to leave the classroom as he was late this afternoon..

He was also asked to get his parents also on Monday..

He left crying all along the road..

ln between Hameed at the tea stall stopped and enquired with him..

Where is Teacher?

Sir, you continue..

He told them teacher asked him to leave

as he was late from his prayers at the mosque...

lsn't that enough...

There is the group that gathered...

We have locked her up in the room..

We do not know when they will get in and ransack this place..

Why is the police?

lt cannot be dealt by us. lsn't it a communal issue now?

-Which is the boy's class? -What?

Where is the boy's class?

Left from that corridor

Have had him sit in the class..

lsn't it saferto be around the boy than be with that crowd?

Ok..

What do l say?

Sit down..

Don't pay attention to the commotion outside..

This Sir is about to ask questions!

What is special about this day?

Teachers Day

Yes.. Sit down..

Who is the first teacher in the world..

Orthe lady teacher?

You got to teach them, sir..

Who is it?..

And hang a photograph of Sarvapalli Radhkrishanan..

Then the children will ask who is it..

We teachers keep teaching daily..

But one thing we keep forgetting to say..

Know what is it...

Who is a teacher?

Who must a teacher be?

That also must be taught

So what were we saying...

Who is the first teacher?

Who is the first teacher?

Our mother

Nobody taught us to call Ma..

But to call father Dad was taught to us by mother..

So mother is the first teacher..

Haven't you noticed mothers pick up the children and loft them high..

That is how ourteachers are too..

They are also bringing you up from down there...

When you show some naughtiness, when you lie..

They will punish you..

Do you know how?

With love..with affinity..

All that... by the time you reach this teacher's age..

Unable to reach them..

Due to tension...

Have seen children crying..

But a teacher crying is a first time for me.. that's why..

Kids.. have you seen God..

Living Gods...

No!! Let me give you a clue..

Which is this alphabet?

Yes.. the syllable that comes first on the tongue..

They are the three people that start with this alphabet..

Amma (mother)

Achan (Father),

Adhyapakan (Teacher)

To see God we go to Temples, Mosques and Churches..

Aftertaking all the troubles to reach there, when we see God..

and then pray..

But there are Gods who can be seen with our eyes open..

Those angels who correct us and take us on to the right path..

Who are they?

Father, Mother, Teachers!

Correct..

Do you love to make the Gods cry?

No

Never hurt ourteachers even if they say anything..

l am getting helpless.. Not being effective..

Do tell the teacher not to cry..

l... l told a lie, Sir..

l will apologize to the teacher..

l lied...

ln the afternoon l had been for a movie not to the mosque..

l never expected it will turn out this way..

l lied, sir...Sorry, Sir..

Do tell the teacher not to cry..

Sorry, Sir..

Sorry, Sir..

Keep quiet...

Listen..Stop..

- Tell us the matter... - Stop

lt was a lie...

l lied...

l did not go to the mosque.. l had been for a movie..

l never expected it will turn out this way..

- Don't cry.. -Sorry..

Do you see...

Do you have to take on from what these kids say?

Even if one catches them creating mischief it is just their immaturity..

But if take on to create something then it will turn to be an uncorrectable issue..

The mischief of the kids is informed to the parents by teachers..

This teacher also did just that..

May the curse of making a teacher cry on the teachers' day not befall you..

Speaking further will be boring..

He done a mistake and he corrected

Didn't l tell you Shukoor not to get carried away by what kids say?

So have l now become the fall guy?

Teacher, you may now go. Take rest and come tomorrow.

Come and get into the vehicle..

Need not teach for the day..

The boy committed a stupidity..

Oh abracadabra.... The pain is gone.. it is gone..

Get up and come...

Unexpected rain..

Ah.. did you get wet?

-Yes, a little. - Heavy rain..?

Yes. Hold this..

Let me con Omana into giving a full bottle.. Pretty cold..

What is it?

Didn't Uncle come?

l am sorry..

Why the sorry? Come in..

Let me keep this in the fridge..

l considered you as own.

So interfered in your personal life..

l did not expect you would get angry..

Even otherwise, l am to be blamed..

Shouldn't l have considered your views too before calling him?.

Sir, are you angry with me?

No.. l like you..

What!!

lt is raining heavily outside..

Heavy rain..

l love to keep looking into the rain..

ls it only to keep looking?

Even to get drenched

How about moving in?

So the love...

Love for sure but l am scared..

What is the fear?.

Why be scared?

Being hit by thunder..

Come.. let's move in..

No.. Let's be here..

Why sir... the silence?

Oh, what is there to say?

Uncle was saying this afternoon, you had something to tell me..

What is it?

l feel like getting wet now..

What..

The rain..

Reply to my question..

What is it that you got to tell me?

Actually...

l....

l am..

How about going on a trip?

l have a mind block..

.. a place close by..

Who all?

Two of us..

lf need be, we can also have Uncle, Kuriachan and Bharatan come along

lt will be one helluva trip with them too..

Call Uncle and find out..

lt is not about going forthe tour..

Did you tell him the otherthing?

Which?

Look don't make me angry.

He likes the teacher..

So.. what about you?

Uncle, please.. l do not have anything like that..

Can you say something else, Uncle?

Now nobody is going to say anything else here.

We all like to see you two get together..

The moment you expressed your liking for him,

her problem about him has been resolved..

Would you keep quiet?

Listen ..Manjima what Uncle said is the right..

To ease the bad name earned around a woman another woman is needed..

What all are you saying?

Did l ever tell you that l love sir?.

-l didn't..-There it goes..

You don't have to tell us.. Just tell him..

Listen to realize one's love, it is not necessary for it be heard from one's mouth

One just needs to keep looking into the eyes..

To understand thatjust look into her eyes...

See how much l am filled there...

Jesus.. it is filled..

Oh.. What a stale joke..

Anyway that interview was really great..

He has become the star in my office..

There he is...

All are here..

Sofi too..

What is it.. you are not inviting us forthe trip..

What is there to invite...

Aren't we just moving?

-lsn't it Manjima? - Yeah

Sofi. You also come along..

Manjima...come let me tell you a secret..

Come..

- Go..-Come..

Go..Go..

Now let nobody know...

After l return we will go for the trip..

Trip? Which trip?

This Manjari teacher had called..

To accompany her forthe Art Festival.. lt is in ldukki..

May be for the otherthing..

Which otherthing?

Either to express her love orto have me express..

l don't know..

Move.. Let me drink some water..

Manjima.. listen..let me ask you one thing..

l...or Manjima...

Do you love me?

Eh!

Love me means.. Would you marry me?

Did you see that..?

The hiccup has gone...

A sudden shock can send the hiccup packing..

This is the Rajakumari technique, don't share it with anyone.

Did you all also get shocked?

lf l say l am getting married, which girl will not be shocked?

Ok then Manjima.. l have something to tell. That is a secret..

Uncle.. Kuriacha.. l take leave...

What is this!

Sir, where are you taking me?

Stop..Stop. lf possible, tell it here

l'm tired of walking any more

Nothing to tell, only got to ask

Ask then

l too got something to ask you

What have you to ask me?

You first ask

This...that's..

What is the issue with Antony?

We shall discuss that later

No, let's discuss it right away, what is the issue?

Something that l should never see...

that no wife should ever see..

l...Antony..

No..let's not discuss that, sir.

Manjari, if Antony has committed a mistake,

Like mothers who forgive their sons, just let it go!

A mother and a wife give words of affirmation to their partners,

of being with them till their last breath!

Mothers never breaks the promise,

but some wives do.

Both are women

l met Antony

When l heard his version,

l felt a big correct on his side,

and a small wrong on your side that can be rectified

Give an ear to Antony!

No..l don't wish to

l saw with my own eyes

Will our eyes cheat?

You tell me sir, will our eyes cheat?

Manjari, don't get emotional

l thought if this issue could be talked over and resolved, l brought it up

Sorry..Sorry

lt's okay, you tell.

Manjari, do you see this mountain?

Shall l tell a story..

..that l've heard of!

On the other side of the mountain, there was a village

Long long back,

There was a drought once in that village

There was no water for drinking, living and farming affecting villagers severely,

killing multitude of living beings.

A stream flowing down in the mountains is the only source of water!

Villagers would walk down from there, to drink and carry water

There lived a father, daughter and her child

Daughter's husband was also died in the drought!

One day when they were climbing the mountain for water...

and after climbing for long... Father felt unwell.

His throat was parched and death appeared closeby

The daughter did not find any source to give him even a drop of water

the breast milk that she had for her child,

is what the daughter.. fed herfather as the life giving water

Villagers who witnessed this mistook them

Suspecting their relationship,

father, daughter and her child were burnt to death by the Villagers..

is the story!

Don't believe in only what you see

See through your heart also.

Sometimes eyes do cheat, Manjari!

ln life everything is not for remembering

Some have to be forgotten!

Talk to Antony

Give ear to his words

Can't you atleast do that? Please.

Atleast for me.

Sure.

l will listen.

l will speak..That is all l could do.

Enough..More than enough!

Just a minute, let me take this call.

Why are you standing alone there, teacher?

The mood is off, isn't it!

Whenever your mood is off and tension rises, keep chatting like this,

and then smile

This tension will flow away

Not like that..like this.

Do smile! l'm serious

A bit of fitting on the lip will be fine when there is tension inside.

That's the reason behind your smile always!

Well, you got something to ask me, is it? Please do ask.

-Shall l? - Of course do!

What do you think about Manjima?

ls this you wanted to ask? She is a good girl

-You like Manjima? - Yes

Why don't you marry her then?

Oh no! l like Bharathan, Uncle , Kuriachhan

lt's not that liking l meant!

Can't you marry her then?

No teacher! She is a kid.

lt's your ego your being aged!!

Likely to rain. Let's push up quickly

Tell me if you like her or not?

-That's what l've been saying, l like - Eh!!

Rain!

Move.

''Did you hearthe song sung by the male bird''

''Did you see its mate coming near''

''The rain and sunlight will draw a rainbow''

''Did you hearthe song sung by the male bird''

''Did you see its mate coming near''

''Are the grasshoppers and the lasses following them, gossiping?''

''The falcons and the doves came and went in the dream''

''The stories of their hiding are public now''

''ln the scattering drops, under a rain-umbrella''

''is a garden blossoming inside,

and showering flowers on me''

''Are the squirrels and the lads coming this way to sip honey''

''Are the grasshoppers and the lasses following them, gossiping?''

''The onam flowers and January breeze,

Forgetting nights and days''

Hold the brakes!

lf possible, visit child's house. Child got terribly scared!

Sure sir

lsn't your hand okay?

A small swell! Doesn't matter.

See you then.

Let's move then

Sir, Yesterday we saw your interview. lt was amazing

Thanks!

Uncle..Uncle!

Oh l'm sorry, l mistook it to be uncle's flat

Sorry please

Has the flat changed!

No, you came into the correct flat

Were you here?

Uncle's relatives l guess!

Anyway now going to be family!!

You only have heard.. slipped through fingers..

Now you can see

Hello!

Never expected it was to con me that you called me home

ln that situation, Manjima was a burden to me.

But now it's different.

l expressed my wish to Manjima and she also did!

Her wish is..

Bye

Good bye!

Vivek...listen to me.

lt was not to me you did a mistake

But to her.

ldea was good!

The constant saint!

Goodness there..and here too

Reuniting Manjeri's life there.. and patching up Manjima's life here!

All goodness!

And now standing there pretending ignorance!

My dear Jabbaran! lt didn't work this time.

Now l will begin. Come here.

Come here l say

This is Mr.Murali Nambiar!

He is in America! A Business man! That is his wife.

Manjima's parents!

Why is he not talking anything? Please sit

Sit here. Let me see how you come out of this!

Uncle, it is not a game.

You don't have to feel embarrassed

Age is only a matter of numbers!!

This dialogue about age and number came out on seeing you!

Take us....what will be the age difference between us?

Enough...Stop.

lf he starts talking he will never pause.

Let him. We can hear his talk!

What is there to hear? l will give you a tight..

No..No..What she said was right.

lf l start talking, then it meanders all over!

Habits die hard!

My father was also like me.

Best match for you!

Why doesn't he talk anything?

Her wish is our wish!

Need not feel odd, okay!

Nothing such, sister!

Not a sister! Girl's mother!

You appear to be young, that's why

Oh l'm sorry. See, l don't know how to talk to a woman also.

-l only talk to the teachers the most.- Kuriachan..

He's is quite a different kind of person!

A bit reserved

He seldom chats with women!

Manju, are you listening to all this?

Still l have the desire.

l've earned too many bad names in the flat and my hometown!

All are related to women!

l also have a nick name matching a famous male bird of our village!

He is just being funny

lt is not fun. We would be meeting in the future too.

So wouldn't it be better knowing it from me now rather learning from others?

lf what is to be said now is not said, it will later turn into regret.

l am used to describing things as a story!

ln 1970

Yeah, 1970 - Pakistan violated the agreement and attacked lndia,

The lndian Army also returned the favour on Pakistan with full might

lt was then, fearing the breakout of war, developing aches

Wait.. One Kumaran, a soldier, developed aches and fever

Returned to his hometown, carrying his gun.

The best medicine for Kumaran's intermittent fever was known only to his wife Rajamma.

lt was in the beginning of the 70's,

The practice of combining the first two letters of parent's names

to name their children, started in our village

Not over yet..

As the new born was lifted by a fatso nurse

His hand accidentally brushed somewhere against her body

the nurse proclaimed, watch out he is a bit naughty!

What naughtiness can a minute old baby do?

lf the spot his hand brushed is said, it would be much more thrilling.

l will show you the thrill now.

What a pity is this!

Then the nick name nurse called me later became a part of my identity!

That what had truly happened, isn't it Commander in Chief!

Once, as l was walking back home from city after buying rice and kerosene,

that incident happened.

To check if anyone is peeping into Januchechi's bathing area,

Toddy tapper Nanappachettan who regularly hid and kept watch, saw Rajakumaran

ls that so?

Stop this, hubby!

Nowadays no one is bathing in pond like olden times!

Now in all homes, there is a pipe connection!
