Okay, we shall read it in detail!

'Respected Ustad, a letter from Akbar's mother'

'Akbar doesn't like to come to 'Madrasa'

So, that's the issue

(Jokes)

So, it's the laziness!

'He is too lazy, he pretends sick and sleeps!!

'Ustad, please find a solution for this laziness'

' A good whack might find an answer to it'

So, that is it! I've a remedy for this !

Okay, move to this side -My God!!!

Stand, turning back

Akku, do you know the reason for this punishmet?

-Yeah

For what? For telling lies

So, who had made Akku, to tell lies?

'Ibilis'(Devil)

Ibilis ruins this world....

.. by making us do wrong deeds and tell lies

But 'God' resides within us

'HE' makes us do good deeds and makes us tell truth

There by makes this world.. A heaven!!

Do you aspire God's heaven or hell of Ibilis(Devil)

God's heaven!!

So, Akku from now on are you with God or Ibilis??

With God!

How come you stay in doors mostly?

Totally bed-ridden, mother has become so insolent

She keeps watching on me

I should be always beside her. What's up?

Uma! (Mother)

Akku -Allah (God)

When his mother finds this, she will beat us, also

I'd warned you will fall, it happened

Mother, will whack you I'm okay, no problem

Okay, I'm leaving Wait for me..

No, you stay there

Akku's mother, Akku was about to fall from a tree

My GOD! Where is he?

Answer me, where is he?

My goodness! -Where is Akku?

MY GOD! Akku!!!

(Trapped!!)

Stop there!

You will be punished

I won't come to get slaps!

At dusk you will come home, then I'll slap you

I'll be punished even if Akku falls from tree

Will it be the same even if mango falls!

BOY! Several times I'd warned not to climb on this

Again, if you climb on this

I'll tell father and he'll chop it down

Come here, I say! OUCH!!

It hurts! My God, there is a wound

Any other wound?

God has saved

Show me the hand

Mother, it is really painful

Look on that green leaf, you won't feel the pain

Now on stop climbing this tree

(Music from radio)

Two black tea -Lots of sugar too

Yeah, sit

It is Dasan's favorite song

His entire life revolves around this song

Is there any other song in Malayalam, with life in it?

Is there, any one? -Nope

Okay, have it

I'll pay later Okay, no worries

Once he hears this song, he wants to booze

He is heading to toddy shop

God never satisfies everyone

That lad lead a decent life, in the past

Boy! Is that injury a deep one?

No, not that serious Look, Akku!

Several times I had warned not to climb that tree

Once agin if you play on that

I'll sell that tree to some one

Water is kept ready for bath

Warning several times Boy, is really naughty

Will he chop it down and sell?

Get some sleep, tomorrow 'Madrasa' class is scheduled

When I fell from tree

I was blocked from falling by its branches

What does that mean? Mother, told GOD saved me

So,likewise does mango tree manifest as GOD?

GOD might manifest..

.. as mango tree Because of Mother's prayer

Sleep well, don't brood I'll sing a song

Mother, I can't sleep

Close your eye, I'll sing for you

(An Arabic lullaby)

Sleep dear one..

Well!

This is a mango sapling

When it becomes a tree, mango must be tasty

All of you, sit -Are plants, trees living ones?

Both of you, what are you doing?

Nothing -Come and sit here

Tutor, what Akku says..

Like human being these plants have life

Stop, what is there to laugh?

What he said is true

All these plants, we see has got life

Teacher, can trees hear and see like humans? -Why not?

Whatever we do, they can see it

Whatever we say, they can hear it

Teacher, how is that possible?

Sit

Today, I'll narrate a story

It's not a story..

An experiance I had, in my childhood

I was a child

On our courtyard..

.. we had a gooseberry tree, right at the middle

During those days, after my school

I used to play on the swing...

.. tied to this Gooseberry tree

Till then, this gooseberry tree

..never flowered or gave fruits

One day, my uncle told

Why do we need a barren tree?

We'll chop it down and sell the tree

I was very upset

Going to cut my friend, a tree

On that day I cried a lot

I went and embraced my tree and said

Dear tree, bear fruits at the earliest

If not my uncle will chop you down

Later, one day my uncle did come with tree choppers

The very sight gave a chill from the spine!!!

The whole tree was flowered!!!

I was thrilled with joy

Uncle departed along with tree choppers

I ran and held my tree friend close and kissed!

This is my experience

Now, did you understand trees can hear and see

Okay, as a part of envoirnment day..

All of you should plant these saplings in your home

It's not planting alone, give special care too

That person is gifted who nourishes the plant well

Trees are the gift of GOD

Those who protects the tree

Worry not, they are safe in the hands of GOD

These days your drinking habits are bit high

Better you reduce it..

..You are the support for your family

Never forget that -Once in a while booze

(Greets in Arabic) Greets back)

I really wanted to meet you -What's up?

What is the isssue?

It's raining cats and dogs!

There is no job

Previous day after the prayers

When I saw father's burial place

whole place is out grown with shrubs

Many kids often visit there

There might be creepers too

If it's cleared, might fetch a job for both

We're in deep trouble

This topic was raised in the committee

Has said, will be decided in the next committee

Need a job for living, ensure us your help

By the way, Madhava, you are on the wrong route

I was just going to the market

By the way.. What worries you?

Priest, I need some money as debt

Once I get a daily wage, I'll repay-Worry not

We shall meet after prayers

(Greets in arabic)

(What a relief, GOD saved me)

What worries you?

-No work,asked some money as debt

Today also I'm on debt at toddy shop

Sister Today, on night duty?

Shivan is coming from gulf

I'm working as a help maid

Okay -I wanted to meet you

Tell, your wife to come and work at Shivan's home

You tell her, do I need to meet her?-No need, I'll tell

Come, let's go

Anything to order?

Brother, hello

It is yesterday's evening toddy

Teacher -Where have you been, three of you?

Why, so late? Any idea of time?

No answer!!!

And you? Any idea?

So, you guys don't know to calculate time!

Out here, who all can calculate time?

Only 5? Rest, no idea?

I'll teach you

This is small needle, that denotes hour

Small needle? -Denotes time

Big needle denotes minute

Big needle? -Denotes minute

The digit where the big needle stands

Multiply that number by five to get the minute

So, what will be the time now?

Eleven past three multiplied by five

It's 15

So, the time is 11:15

Now the big needle points to six, what is the time?

Eleven, six multiplied by five, Akku how much is it?

30 -So it's 11:30

Sit

So, all have learned to calculate time

Go home and practise

Sit one more thing

Excess water will help to grow

Okay, carry on

For the cousin sister's marriage

.. it was decided to cut this tree

For your marriage expense dad has got a tree to chop

I won't allow my tree to chop

I'll never allow it -Go and tell your father

Come kids have jaggery 'payasam'

'Payasam' from where? -Offered to temple

As kid's fathers were jobless prayers offered at temple

You also come -I'll come

I forgot to tell, we'll go to meet oracle

We'll go together

Boy, come here

How many days work is scheduled there?

- Four days

So, a big relief for few days, see you tomorrow

Offering worked, got a daily wage job

Daughter, light the lamp

Mother, sir told trees have life like humans

Like humans trees can see and hear

GOD has created everything with life

Why, asking all this?

So, when the mango tree gets hurt does it cry like us?

Tree can be happy as well as sad

In hot summer, all leaves are shedded

It'll pray and cry to GOD for water

GOD gives rain for the tree

So, its happy

-While chopping the tree, its hurting the tree!

Sir, told mango tree is the gift of God gives everything

Mother told, God can manifest as mango tree

It's like axeing GOD, punishment is sure!

Don't brood, pray and sleep

No,tell not to cut mango tree

Did you hear what he said?

He is always on that tree top, he is really hurt!

What are you saying?

We should return..

.. what they gave us for our marriage

Can't borrow this huge amount from someone

Job is once in a while how to borrow from others?

Boy will forget after few days, no other option

Try to understand the situation

Why, on this route? -Needs to inspect a mango tree

Is he selling it? -Yeah

You are lucky

Yeah, really lucky -Going to chop the tree

What to do?

We should save that tree

What is the solution?

There is an aswer, come -What is it?

'Trinity in a tree-bottom-Lord Bramma -Creation'..

'..Middle-Lord Vishnu -Preservation'

'..At the top-Lord Shiva -Destruction-'

How much does it cost for an offering?

25 paise -Okay, one offering

Give the name and birth star

Not for humanbeing it's for a mango tree

For a mango tree??

Priest, come here -What is it?

What's up? Want to hear a joke? -Joke?

Kids needs an offering in mango tree's name?

Why? An offering for a mango tree?

His father sold the tree going to chop it

To save the tree

Worry not I'll do the offering

Priest, what will be the birth star of the tree?

GOD will hear the prayers of the kids

What was the tree? -Mango tree

Is the temple closed? -There is enough time

Don't run!

It must be GOD's will

He was a staunch believer

I need to settle down at the eighteenth year

On the 18th year Pilgrim visit

One should plant a sapling That is the ritual

That will happen

He couldn't make it Tragedy happened

We need to visit him after the work

Where is the fore head of the mango tree?

Our fore head is below the hair

So, tree's hair is leaf

So, it must be below the leaf

To get the result for the offering

Should put a 'Thilak' on the brow

You pray and apply a 'Thilak'

It's to save our tree

So, this is the leaf, I'll apply here

Do it fast

Sir is here My goodness!

Fellow careful

Why did you climb?

Always on tree top after school, is it?

Sir, conducted an offering for tree at the temple

Offering to a tree?

The is new to me for what?

To protect the tree his father is going to cut it

Who told can save tree by an offering?

Our fathers got a job after an offering at the temple

It's a sort of recommendation..

..this offering to God to save a tree

Great, do you know who is liked by God, the most?

To plants

Because.. Even after chopping..

Only plants can rapture again

On this earth plants are immortal Gods

You all are the protectors of God

So, God will hear the prayers of such protectors

Good

I'm impressed

This tree of yours can't be chopped!!!

I'll speak to your father

Topic we had discussed again and again

You had told..

..on the 18th year your duty will be over

Haven't you seen what God did to me?

That is her fate You are ruining your life

You should be a role model to others

That is why God has created us..

When you go astray! Others will follow you!

Come let's go

Re-think over what he has told you

Why is this?

This is kid's initiation

Every year such initiations are conducted

I need to see their performance

Does it have bulkage? -It's a heavy tree

Have a look!

Have a detailed inspection no complaints,later

Okay

What the hell is this?

It's a heavy tree

Look here, this tree belongs to a deity

That stone is worshipped

Why is this? Under this tree?

I've never seen such a deity

This tree is profitable

But the past experience of people are there

They are struck by bad omens in their homes

Excuse me, I'm refraining from this deal!!

(Calls by house owner's name)

Where's your husband?

Gone to market

Tell him when he comes

Don't sell a tree that is worshipped?

A tree that is worshipped!!

Yeah, we saw it a stone deity under the tree

A stone that is worshipped!!

God

Look, don't dis-agree, okay

This is a debt from me

Only re-pay any time when you can afford it

No, thank you

A daily wage worker how to repay it?

No, I won't receive it I can't repay it

Hey fellow! You cheat!

What is this?

Tried to sell a tree..

.. that is worshipped by compatriots

What to worship a tree?

What are you saying?

That too, in his courtyard?

We mostly work in all courtyards..

..such issues aren't there

So, there lies the point!

See, I just discussed that matter, now- What?

That kid's play!

That's the reason..

.. for temples to emerge in some places

Any stone when flowers and 'Tilak' are applied...

It becomes a deity

I'm a witness to that kid's play

If you have doubt go and ask kids

Didn't I tell you..?

... there is no such tree in his courtyard

I was tensed

Didn't you inspect the tree?

Pay him Rs.100 as advance

Haven't I told you that?

Come here

So, the deal is fixed, it's the advance

Balance while chopping the tree

Sir, you stand here?

That drama people are waiting

My goodness! I forgot, let me rush!!

They are waiting -Shall we go?

(Panchavadyam-an orchestra of five instruments)

Well done

Come here Where were you?

Went to do some rituals and offerings?

There was my friend's orchestra..

..was late when it ended

I told to mother before going

Why, was flowers and 'Tilak' kept under the tree?

That was to crub tree cutting

Trying to meet both ends You won't allow it?

No, stop beating him

I'll kill you if you do such things

Stop it!

All says tree is God and wants to chop down, God!

Trying to save God and punishment for that!

(Humms a song)

Singing in toilet?

That boy is scared that is why he sings

(Father shouting boy's name)

What? -He is in the toilet

His deeds should be punished

What is it?-That mango tree was out for sale

Conducted an offering in the temple

The flowers and 'Tilak' was placed under the tree

If that sir hadn't seen it, that deal would be cancelled

Not me Akku told me to do -I'll show you

Come out -Not over yet!

Why so long? -Will you beat me?

It will not get over soon -Okay, I'll wait till you finish

You be in charge okay

-When are you going to school?

You eat all this

His sister's daughter gave this

Welcome!

It must be 3 sovereigns

Tell them to sit inside

Put this out so, others can see it

Where is the prayer mat? Top of the cupboard

It's tasty, no?

Come

Look here -What is it?

I can't find an answer to it

Don't neglect this as a child's play

Just by making kids..

.. to write essay on envoirnment protection

And making them to speak on this subject

Our job as teachers doesn't end there

When they try to save nature

We must support them

To save that tree sir offered money..

..and it was rejected

What remedy can we take?

Sir, tried to do what we can do

Yeah, we must find a solution for that

Did father whack you, yesterday?

He saved me from the beating

To escape from beating he was in the toilet

If I had told father, that you are also involved

Then he wouldn't spare you

Let's climb this mango tree -Yeah

The bird has layed the eggs -3 eggs

I can't see it

Tomorrow going to cut the tree

This nest and the eggs will get destroyed

What is the use of giving offering to God?

Akku, was whacked -That is it

Mother told father received job due to offering

Do we need to place...

..a silk cloth before God to save tree

It is said that trees are gift of God

Does God allow to cut the tree?

Only our God was gifted..

... may be your God must be un happy

True, my God should be given offerings, isn't it?

God must be un happy

But that silk cloth is expensive, is it?

What to do?

Will get solid beating on buying the cloth

Don't invite problems

At any cost we must save the tree

Why don't we consult with Gopi? -No need

He had eatten lot of nibbles without giving to us

Go home fast, don't waste time, come with me

Want nibble? I've money -We don't want

Why, no nibble?-His father is going to cut the tree

To save the tree..

.. should offer a silk cloth to temple that costs Rs.5

Why is his father cutting the tree?

His uncle's daughter's..

... marriage should gift gold to them

Can you lend Rs.5?

Worry not I've the money -Wow!

"A TREE IS A BOON"

Hey compatriots, really hot

In this summer let's us shelter under this tree

Come, come let us all come together

Really good to sit under this shelter

To save nature

This play was enacted by us

Thank you for your support

Don't move

I'll return fast -Pray well, okay

God gave us air, water, food for us

God is above us as a sheltering tree

Take refuge in that shelter

Plead for God's mercy

When you live surrendered to God

The duty of a life time comes to an end

God heard our prayers What is that?

They had agreed to buy..

..the tree at the price offered by us

Tomorrow will come with tree choppers

My God..

..after receiving cash..

..we must buy gold tomorrow itself

Must attend pre-wedding function morning itself

Don't schedule any other job on that day

What?

Why awake at early dawn?

I didn't sleep yesterday -Why, no sleep

Today my mango tree is going to get chopped

I heard what father told

Today class is scheduled at Madrasa

Pray and get some sleep

Where is he?

Will go -You go, I'll come with Akku

Akku! Hey boy!

Why, not attending school today?

He didn't sleep yesterday He'll faint

I'm not coming Why?

Going to cut our tree

Who told? -Father said yesterday

No one is to save our mango tree

No use of giving silk cloth to mosque

Sir also cheated on us

What to do next?

Hey boy!

My best wishes to all students..

.. who conducts the save nature procession

In detail sir will speak to you

Sir, you may speak

Today we've decided..

.. to conduct a rally to save nature

Are you all ready for rally?

How to conduct a rally is

Teachers of respective..

..classes will lead their students with banner

Boy, what is it?

Those thick branches.. Tie it hard..

Tell about the nest -There is a nest

Move!!

What is he doing?

Akku!!

Didn't I tell mother not to cut mango tree?

You should have told father

Not to cut the tree

Mother had told mango tree is a living being

It'll cry when hurt

When you cut a tree does it get hurt?

It is speech less..

that's why it doesn't say don't cut me

Shut up, I say!

It can't move that's why it's bearing all this

Mother had told

God can manifest as mango tree

Can you chop off God?

Does God punish?

Sir told mango tree is a gift of God

Sir, tell them not to cut the tree

This is not a blabber of a lad

This is a mistake done by adults

Or we adults neglects this

Such a huge mistake

Why had these students gathered here?

Carrying a plycard, to save nature

That is to save a tree from cutting

Isn't he speaking the truth?

A tree is also a god that lives..

..more than 10,000 years!

For years provided oxygen to sustain us

Gave us water as rain

Gave fruits to eat

Without any harm to us

This tree is it like God that protects us?

Just like prophets born in each era

Like sages and children of God

God will choose a person to save this nature

We should not neglect it

We must not be deaf to their words

Like what sir told

When we calculate air, fruits given by this tree

To save our life

The price tag placed by you for this tree

It will be hundred fold greater

The best nature lover at the school

For such students we've decided a gift

Akbar is qualified for that award

Akbar's father should accept this

This is double the amount..

.. than what you get on selling the tree

Accept this and what Akbar wishes..

No, fullfil our school's wish

Save the tree!

We can't disobey sir's words

We're backing out from the deal

Sir told mango tree is a gift of God, I promise to sir

When I chop a tree, I'll plant two saplings

My promise!

Sir, hand over that money

An entire native is here

You may accept this cash

We neglect the tree as God

Look, the stone under the tree is seen as a deity

Throw this stone so that it clears the beliefs

That is not correct Like what sir told

These shelter trees are Gods

These scared groves..

..exsisted because of these stones

To tell the truth I realized that only now

Accept this

This sapling planted by you

Will grow taller than this tree

Look, son Akku..

..Our 'GOD' has given life to all beings on this earth

Then, 'GOD' has created an envoirment for us to live

'GOD' is like a shelter tree just above us!

Then, we should take refuge in 'GOD's' shelter

We should live for 'GOD'

Our 'KARMA' of life is..

..Fullfilled while leading such a life

In that sense, Akku..

Aren't we the people of 'GOD'?
