What happened?

What happened, Prasee…

Nabeesa, please fetch some water.

What’s up?

I feel giddy.

Do you have temperature?

What happened to you, dear?

Carries cosmos within…

Chapter 10:

Democracy and rights.

I speak and act against all

supremacy in the country

I am fighting for a nation of freedom,

democracy, coexistence and equality.

My goal is to achieve this

In a democratic system you and we will be equal.

Nelson Mandela

How are you Prasee,

is your giddiness gone?

Your retching got well?

Why didn’t you call then?

Getting okay, Surechi

This morning I had had some stale food.

That might have caused it.

What’s so funny about it, Chechi?

Is your period okay this month?

However, you cannot manage it all alone.

Please call Raghu.

Finance Minister says that

the state will not cut taxes.

K.N. Balagopal added that the central tax share is low.

Hey, did you change that T.V. serial?

Serial… your foot

Sumangala's second husband is suffering from cancer…

let me see the details.

What was wrong with Sumangala's first husband?

He, too, suffered from cancer

And how was he rescued?

He was taken to Germany for treatment

Then… this man, too, will be redeemed properly

You don't have to worry about it, you graybeard.

Did you call Raghu, as I told you earlier.

He didn’t attend the call

Let him call back.

Anyway, it was not apt for Seetha

to have quarreled with him at this time.

What happened?

What not…. She is carrying now.

May be, vomiting is due to some gastric issues

Gastric issue… my foot…

Please try Raghu once more

Will call him…

Alas,

supply failed, Suloo…

Be seated, man… it will be restored soon.

It is onerous to be in this darkness

May I sit closer to you

You are chicken- livered.

It is quite cozy to sit by you in the dark,

my dear.

Bye the bye,

there is an old rumor that you were mesmerized by my youthful body.

See, how shy the man is…

[Raghu sings]

Please, don’t sing like this.

Aji, I am venting my sadness

I, too, have bundles of sadness for me…

yet, do I sing them out?

You can sing aloud. Nobody will hamper you.

When I am downhearted, I do sing aloud.

What makes you so sad now?

That you quarreled with your wife…

and she became pregnant after that.

I am totally forlorn, buddy.

What, you don't have anyone?

Please, don’t make a scene.

There is no one to love me, buddy.

I am there with you.

You’re a shining mole on my chest, dear radiant like the full moon on the sky…

You’re a shining mole on my chest, dear radiant like the full moon on the sky…

Hey koel… Hey koel…

please hum a tune…

Achaa…

Achaa…

What happened to you

Why did you call your father?

I had a dream of him.

Then?

Then what,

he went away…that’s all..

Are you not joining us, Presee? We are there in the town…

I will be just there, Ittha

Your annual exams are starting in a couple of days…

Please stop your pranks and prepare for it…

You’re working great…

Shantechee…

Hi Aji… you are to throw a party…

we got the news…

What happened, Sulochanechee?

Aji got a placement order.

I’ve got just the advice memo for the appointment.

Still not placed anywhere.

By the way, there’s a board meeting.

Also, there’s an allotment for your pending wages.

Hope we’d get it this month.

It’s the price of the hard work.

His party is ruling the panchayath.

My dearest Praveen…

We cannot pay it from our own pocket.

It has to be sanctioned from the higher offices.

Please pay due attention at times to their case also.

Hi Presee,

are you okay now?

Is pregnancy a sickness, then?

Oh! That’s it.

The time of your scuffle with Raghu is the best.

Why didn’t you write anything, Nidhi?

In my view, you should give company to her right now.

I’ll definitely go,

and give my daughter Vishu gift.

But

I won’t stay with her in that house.

I do have a house of my own.

I won’t be defeated that way.

Anyway, you can let her win this time a little.

The two of them are alone there.

Additionally,

Praseedechi is carrying too

It’s shameful to walk away irresponsible after impregnating a lady.

I won’t implore her for getting back to where I was expelled once

She is damn arrogant

and an alter ego of her mother in her nature.

What did really happen between you?

Would people be cross with each other for such a silly brawl?

It is sheer haughtiness

Then, what happened

immediately after my expulsion was that she tested pregnant the very next week.

Did you attack Praseedechi while quarrelling with her?

Did you slap her?

I couldn’t help it.

It was a very mild one…was not deliberate.

Her loose tongue was the cause

If that is the case,

as it is Praseedechi on the other end, you better not go there anymore.

I’ll go there anyhow.

Not to stay with her,

but to see my kid.

It’s Vishu festival

and she is to be given the seasonal offering.

That's some jackfruit chips, my honey.

That’s your favourite halwa.

These are fire crackers

which can be set off at night.

Who will set it off at night?

What’s past is past.

I am not ready for a fight.

My fight is not yet over.

Seetha…

this arrogance of yours…

Shut up and clear off.

This house was bequeathed for me by my mother Poozhiparambath Karthiyayani Amma.

This is my own.

I have asked you not to step into this compound.

Clear out.

I know very well why you are running amok with your arrogance

Actually, I don’t want to be blamed for keeping aloof from you while you are pregnant.

Who needs your company?

I know how to give birth and bring up my child.

Your child?

Then, is it yours?

You have been jealous for a long time.

You may take your doubts for right.

You’ll suffer for this arrogance.

Remember, you’ll have to answer for this.

Clear off my compound first.

Answer can be given then.

Please keep this.

It’s my Vishukkaineettam for you.

You can burst the bloody crackers brought by your father.

Sulu,

be careful…

it’ll go off.

This is meant to go off, man.

Don't you be so scared man.

Come and set off the crackers.

No, dear…Be careful, it’s fire.

Don't be cowardly, man.

Get up, man…

burn at least a sparkler without being idle.

No, Sulu…

Once, this item got exploded in my hand…

I’ve told you that…

long back,

on a Vishu day, from the taravad

Oh! It went off as you were firing sparklers

with Mini in your taravad, didn’t it?

Yep…

I and Mini got the fright of life, and had a diarrhea

Then you could’ve married that lily livered one…

why was I dragged in?

His old flame…

Sulu, please don’t…

Try it, man…

Sulu, no… no…please

Tell me, please…

Are you busy, Nafeesu?

Hello…. It’s not clear.

Can you hear now?

Let me switch off this machine.

What about the case I told you about…

I’m in need of a huge amount, that’s why…

We can meet Advocate Leelamma…

you, too, know her.

I’ve told her.

We have to do something even before that.

Will you be free tomorrow?

Why, are you unwell?

I have to drop in at the bank…

in our Cooperative bank.

I will come…

Okay, dear.

We’re all the members of the party.

And the bank belongs to the party.

But, you know that bank is a financial institution.

It’s around four or five years since you borrowed rupees three lakhs.

Not even one single penny was paid back so far.

I was not solely responsible for that.

You know that it was availed and spent by that buffoon…

his advertisement shop financially collapsed

These are the issues between you two… but,

it was you who signed the document for the money.

What can she do, Vijayetta? Things are getting messy…

What’s there to do… the one responsible for all this washed his hands clean

Leave it, Vijayetta…

I have got many restraints in this situation.

Please, contemplate on the matter seriously

We may move now.

You are to clean this once in a week.

My daughter and son in law will be back only after four months.

Everything should look afresh.

You can trust us.

I’ll check this once in a month.

I’ll clean this well.

You’ll be paid Rs. 500 per day

Agreed

Suppose you don’t meet me, you may collect the same from Praveen.

I, too, have Google pay facility.

That's good

Raghuvetta… Howsoever hot the season is, a rain is

a guarantee during thig this thalappoli festival

Am I not right?

What’s it?

A shower is inevitable during this thalappoli festival

So what?

So what…nothing…

I was sharing my sense of social science.

It’s true that a rain is inevitable after Chathangottupuram thalappoli festival.

It’ll definitely shower.

It’ll rain.

Let it pelt down, man.

Let it rain.

Let it rain.

Simply rain.

Let it rain.

Should you undertake that burdensome task, Amma?

Who is not well, you? I’m perfectly okay.

It’s a big house, Amma…

Next time, I, too, will accompany you.

Please close the window… rain drops will sweep in.

Are you watching the rain? You’ll get cold.

Incidentally, it’s usual to have a rain during the school-opening season.

Please lie down here. Let the electric supply be restored.

Amma…

What?

Father won’t stay with us anymore?

He needn’t come.

Why so?

Don’t you have anything else to bother about? Please go to sleep.

Children, you know what we are studying today…

It’s about the factors of production.

yes

Could you all follow?

yes

Nidhi…

What makes you distracted? Don’t lose concentration.

STAND UP

Even after these many days since the opening the school, you are still there.

Please elaborate about the factors of production;

let me see if you were attentive.

Land.

Okay… Next.

Labour.

GOOD

Why, you don’t look in your usual spirits, Presee…

Reflecting on various issues, I am getting confounded.

Don’t bother yourself at this time.

Suluechee…I am to mint some money…

Your pregnancy has already started to advance.

Please, don’t indulge in heavy physical tasks.

Additionally, you’re working for Adv. Leelamma, too.

I cannot keep idle on the grounds of pregnancy, Suluechee.

Ramesan called and offered to appoint me

in the petrol bunk for the evening shift.

What did you say?

I have not yet decided.

It was foolish of you to have ousted Raghu at this time.

Now, everything falls on your shoulder.

Is the grove of dreams turning desolate…

Is it drying up in the summer of loneliness…

Is the grove of dreams turning desolate…

Is it drying up in the summer of loneliness…

The ridges that divide the selfsame broad fields…

Are they getting replenished along ages…

Are the grove of dreams getting desolate

drying up in the summer of loneliness…

Is the darkness lingering without being

Wiped out by the surrounding light

Is the darkness lingering without being

Wiped out by the surrounding light

Is the wave advancing to caress on the island of hope

wrapped in with love or flood

Are the full-throated dreams getting desolate

drying up in the summer of loneliness…

Does your mom have a large belly now?

It’s swelling larger day by day.

Belly gets larger in size if it is a girlchild inside.

Mothers would grow more glamorous also.

That’s right…

when it was time for delivering me,

Amma told her belly looked like a huge pumpkin balloon.

It’d be quite a sight.

Nidhi… Bye the bye, I’ve got a longstanding doubt…

What’s it?

How do these ladies come to carry?

When they get married…

How after getting married?

When they lead a love-life…

So, if love misses, won’t there be kids…

There may be…

Your mom got pregnant even after your father quarreled and stayed from her.

It might be because…

they were in good terms…

Yep… may be…

Are the fields prepared watering for the harvest

Being mercilessly teemed with chaff…

Are the fields prepared watering for the harvest

Being mercilessly teemed with chaff…

Are the advancing legs getting trapped

In the marsh covered by blossoming bushes

Are the full-throated dreams getting desolate

drying up in the summer of loneliness…

The ridges that divide the selfsame broad fields…

Are they getting replenished along ages…

Are they being desolate?

What I am pointing at is

to continue the activities of the unit as dynamically as it is now…

I am very happy that everything is going well.

I’m going to submit this report to the party higher fraction.

Comrades…

We are to go ahead a lot…

Red Salutes to you

Comrades…

Let me make it brief…

What comrade Mohammedakka expressed here was about the satisfaction

of the area committee in the activities of the Women’s Association.

As far as we are concerned, it’s something to be proud of…

And it is decided by the party to entrust more

responsibilities to this unit of the association.

The decision and details of the same will be mooted and left for

your opinion after the discussions of the branch committee meeting

Now, I invite Nafeesu, the unit treasurer and the North

committee member, to propose vote of thanks for this meeting.

Comrades…

let me extend thanks to

the area committee member Muhammedakka,

secretary Suluechi, and all the other comrades…

The meeting is formally dispersed now.

We’ll have a cup of tea and before parting.

I’ll leave immediately after tea.

Okay

Muhammedakka, please have…

Suseelechi, please take…

I’ve informed Mohammedakka all the details.

Initially, he was unwilling.

Isn’t there a limit to the party for taking up

the financial liabilities of the individuals with the bank?

There’s a tentative arrangement made.

Mohammedakka has arranged to get some breathing space for repayment

from the Bank secretary calling him via the area committee

Can’t the party manage in some way to write off the debt?

Nafeesu, you know it’s not that easy…

The only way out is to lighten the burden

of the debt by making Raghu pay some amount.

That’s all…

No way… this loner has thrown him out…

I may try if I get a respite.

You know, it’s a big deal of a huge amount involved…

how can you try alone …

How nice it’d be if Maveli really rules the land…

No lies, dissembling, deceits, and legal confiscation…

Who told you about the confiscation?

I heard you while calling Praveenettan

Oh…

Don’t eavesdrop others

like your father…

As a child, you just care for your business…

how on earth,

you keep close company to your father.

Have it, dear…

That’s what I told you…we can try it once…

Though Punchiriyil Aji got PSC appointment

and has to leave before the end of the term,

he has succeeded in making a good bond with every family in the ward.

That’s plain…

Additionally, this is their sure bet ward.

Aji got the majority of three hundred votes

on the personal grounds.

Even then, KNC can have an easy walk over majority of 200 votes in this ward.

All of you should pass your comments in this regard.

There’s a rumour that Zakhariya would be their candidate.

Zakhariya is smart and popular like Aji…

He’s not a mere political impostor…

he’s a nice worker…

Shall we discuss this before the declaration of the election?

Of course.

The greatest advantage of this time is that it is a by-election.

We should make use of the full potential of the whole Panchayath in ward-4…

Around 60% of the voters of the ward are ladies…

that’s why a discussion arises in the party in search of a possible smart lady candidate

But

I don’t understand why the female association

members in our ward are reluctant to take it up.

The alibies put forward by Comrades Sulochana and

Nafeesu are actually antithetic to the party rules

Party can understand the condition of comrade Praseeda…

she is pregnant…

So, what comrade?

How much advanced you think your pregnancy

would be by the time the election is declared…

That, too, should be considered.

What…pregnancy? But pregnancy is not a disease.

I’ve some minor physical discomforts…

I’ll have the support of all here.

Anyway, I’ll deliver only after the election.

Are you serious about passing such a comment

in a party meeting, comrade Praseeda?

She never makes statements without seriousness

I’m ready to contest if the party asks me to…

Ready to abide by any decision of the party…

Who’s there in this ward that I do not know personally.

Let the party properly discuss comrade Praseeda’s interest and sincerity.

We can take a decision after getting the opinion of the higher fraction.

That decision is very correct.

Hmm…correct…

Now, your encouragement would be the last nail in the coffin.

She abandoned her man…

there’s the liability causing legal confiscation…

now, a candidate forthe election, too…

these are the headache that Seetha added to her burden during her pregnancy.

Sulu, don’t talk politically incorrect like this…

Is it correct to drink all alone?

The concept of equality would not die on earth…

For us, this was true and will be forever and everywhere.

This much equality is enough.

Finished?

This much equality was not needed…

Dinner is quite sumptuous

Your solitary life has made you a great cook…

Was thinking of the dynamism of comrade Praseeda…

It’s a new age.

The sensibility has undergone drastic change.

It’s a time when every individual turns entirely political.

That’s right, comrade.

May I serve you some more.

No, it’s enough…

I don’t over eat.

Why didn’t you have your gruel, Amma?

Not hungry, dear.

If you don’t take dinner,

won’t the young one inside feel hungry?

Won’t it cry?

Please go to sleep.

Are you going to contest in the election?

Who do we have for a backing, dear?

Can we be alone?

Okay… You tell me Mohammedakka,

what shall we do next?

Three lakh rupees.

Not even a single rupee was paid towards the interest so far

Vijayetta…

Muhammedakka has contacted the Executive committee...

the President will call you.

What’s the use of it, Praveen?

I’m just a secretary.

This crosses the limits. It’s a property of pending legal action.

Dear secretary, you needn’t worry at all…

Anyways, the party has instituted this bank…

And party grew up solving many such issues.

Muhammedakka, are you giving me a party study class?

I meant only to say that you needn’t worry…

I got the core of the issue…

Praseeda is the candidate,

isn’t she?

It’s been decided here.

We need confirmation from the district committee to declare the same.

Then, what can I say…

We can solve it, man.

Congratulations, comrade Praseeda…

Congratulations, comrade Praseeda…

The rally in the evening should not be imperfect in any way.

Everything should be precise.

Dasetta.

You should monitor all the details of it.

Oh, you were all within…

Found none of you outside.

Thought of conducting the procession in the town, in the evening.

It’s your ward, so you’d be more confident.

Not in the least, Pravee… We don’t belittle anyone.

Talking to you may be a waste of time…

may we move…

Then, all the best, Praseedechee…

THANKS

I don’t get her plan…

She is a perfect candidate, buddy…

We can see that when she is in the field.

Please read this oath.

If I’m elected as a member from the ward 4 of Thiruvala Grama panchayat…

I, K. Praseeda, do solemnly swear that

I will act according to the constitution and law of the land,

without fear, favour, partiality or prejudice,

and be just to people of all kinds.

All the best Ms.…

Praseeda

YES

what happened?

There’s movement, isn’t there Seethamma?

It moves when you call.

Please call.

Hello sweetie…

cutie…

darling…

You can go home tomorrow

The doctor has advised you to be careful for a few days.

This strain is not advisable.

Your job, domestic chores and the election, everything clubbed together…

This was why I opposed initially when there

came a suggestion that you should contest.

This is a big strain for you, men … Not for us…

Even then,

your condition is to be understood, Prasee.

Who’s that?

Give it to me…

It’s father…

I’ll take it…

May be to check whether I am damned…

Hello Achaa..

What happened to Amma, dear?

She collapsed…

Now, she’s okay…

What did the doctor say?

Doctor has suggested rest for some days

Will she be discharged today?

I don’t know…

Are you coming here?

No need of that. She won’t like that…

Then, Okay…

I’ll call later…

please attend the call…

What’s the count, suluechee?

Sorry,

I forgot to count, my girl…

What carelessness, Suluechee

I am really afraid of your staying under water.

It’s damaging for the lungs to keep breathless under water.

It’s quite interesting to keep eyes open under water…

may I go down once again?

That’s enough…

She might be restless there, now…

We can make it fast.

Can she go for election campaigning,

Let the doctor suggest. Until then, the party members will see to it…

Will Amma win, Suluechee?

They’re all for the people to decide…

Please finish your bath and come out…

Fill a glass bottle with hot water.

Get a balloon ready removing all the air from it.

Fix the balloon at the mouth of the bottle immediately after removing the water

Let the bottle gradually cool.

What’ll happen to the balloon?

What are you thinking, Amma…

I should consult the doctor tomorrow, and decide things …

You can start your election campaigning only after the babe gets properly well…

If you get defeated, let it be so…

It is not your babe that’s weak,

but I am…

If you get weak, the sweetie also will get tired.

Whom do you like more, the sweetie or me?

You and the sweetie are not two now

you are one…

My Queen…

who’s cueing you in these dialogues?

There are children making smarter dialogues in my school…

Okay… Please start reading

I’m reading aloud for the babe to hear…

the air inside the bottle after removing the hot water is very warm …

The heated air gets expanded.

When the bottle gradually gets cooler the air inside also gets cool.

Now, where is the air pressure higher,

inside or outside the bottle?

Would it be politically correct to use a photo of full belly pregnancy?

I, too, told the same…

But she didn’t agree with…

There will be a full belly during advanced stages of pregnancy…

Why should you worry about it…

why should it be concealed?

Would it be inappropriate for a photograph?

I also feel the same…

Not unfit at all… My present get-up would be enough…

not right, dear?

What Chechi tells, too, is politically correct.

Please be sure of what you say?

This pregnancy won’t be eternal…

won’t I deliver?

If this full belly becomes viral,

success will be ours.

A dream built on a single flag

that we are not loners

We are all the links on a song of oneness

We sprouted and grew up on a spring bough

like the mark etched by life

Did you forget the yesterdays that blossomed -

the embers of struggles

Comrade Ms. Praseeda is our pride

I request all of you to cast your vote on star and to let her win.

Red Salute

Thank you Dinakaran mash…

Next, Muhammedakka, the area committee member

will address you.

Comrades,

Praseeda’s candidature was part of a political decision.

Party understands that this new age is that of strong women like Praseeda

Our strength is the people who have always been with the change

I don’t want to prolong… our dear candidate will speak to you

Comrades and friends…

I am an ordinary labourer

One who works in the soil.

For a person like me life itself is a struggle.

This election fight is not above that.

What matters in life is the attitudes we uphold

Uncompromising positions always win.

We compete to win.

If you are with us, we are sure to win.

My love and regards to all.

Comrade Praseeda Zindabad.

Comrade Praseeda Zindabad.

These should be shown to the babe when it grows up.

We can say that it was taken when it was in mother's womb.

No one has my photograph lying inside as a womb.

Alas… very bad…

let me see…

Are you looking how glamourous you are?

Tell me how I do look…

I’ll tell…

Tell me…

You are always a black beauty…

I won’t talk to you, my young lady.

What if I use the same pet-name that father calls you…

No,

I shouldn’t be called like that.

Then, can I ask you something?

Of course…

Is it quite tough to be a chief minister?

It’s somewhat tough.

Can you be the chief minister?

You little idiot… I am contesting to the Panchayat.

Then, no lady has become a chief minister so far…

Not at all… that’s the fun of it…

Why, there was no one suitable for that?

You cannot understand such things right now…

Can I be the chief minister?

Are you going to be a politician?

Yes

That’s a great ambition.

Won’t it be funny…

Nidhi Raghunadh…

How is it?

No…no…

CM Nidhi K. Praseeda…

How is it?

That’s great…

The first lady chief minister of Kerala…

We humbly request you to elect the favourite candidate of ICP and the

darling of this land, Nidhi K. Praseeda casting vote in her symbol of star.

Nidhi K. Praseeda is our candidate. Star is our symbol.

Every voter who believes that the development of the land…

Girlie…

is safe in these hand…

We request you to elect Nidhi K. Praseeda, casting your vote in her symbol star.

Get up… Don't sleep like a log,

as there is no school today… I am going…it’s late

Would you be late, Amma… Can I go to Ardra’s house?

Don’t make it a custom…

Even if you are alone, there will be no problem for you…

I’m not going, then

You may go…

I just reminded you…

Please, don’t forget to lock the door…

I am taking leave…

Hello candidate, how come you be here…

You said there’s squad work today

I am to earn my bread… so, I’m coming with you today…

Hello Sis… please don’t indulge in harsh

physical exertion in this time of election.

We’ll manage your work also.

Praseeda will not receive allowances from party fund…I’d be

in trouble, if I’m not joining you at least in a small scale.

When you can, you do the double work. Then, why should you be in tension?

No argument, please… I’m there for the work today…

Stop watching…

I watched last night the swearing ceremony

of Oommen Chandy and V.S. Achuthanandan.

Girly, this is a new obsession of you.

You know that Kerala did not so far have a lady chief minister…

What can I do for that? Would anybody thrust you to the chief

minister’s seat, if you go on watching these swearing in ceremonies?

You won’t make me one… So, you won’t make me the head of this land…

Ganga…

Don't feel bad for asking…

can’t you excuse him and let him in…

You know all the crux of this issue… I tolerated him, even though he is

an absolute good for nothing… I excused all his drunken brawls… Even then…

Everything is right… But you are carrying his child…

I and he know the truth… but, I won’t admit that…

I don’t want him to be the father of my child…

This is sheer foolishness, my dear… can you

obliterate this relationship that casually?

I needn’t know…

How long can you go along without a male companion?

Tentatively, I need only female company…

Please come here, Praso…

Please cast your vote to kite, Chechee…

Leeledathee… please, don’t forget that kite is our symbol…

What’s up, Praseedechi?

This is a new style of campaigning, dear…

Your posters have already become a new trend… would this also go viral?

Zachariya, will I win the election at the end?

It’s quite engaging to contest with you, Praseedechi…

But we won’t let you win…

Let’s see…

Why not, our camaraderie should be kept intact…

Then, may we meet everyone over here

Okay, carry on…

Sukadedathee, I had come home, and met Rajettan from there…

[humming a refrain]

What’re you thinking, baby?

Nothing…it’s thoroughly interesting to

listen to your songs with the closed eyes ….

Is mom unwell in any way?

She is in a tight corner, now…

then, how can she be perfect …

I feel that she’ll win the election…

Would you cast your vote for her?

Hmm… Your father… casting vote for your mother?

Definitely he would do that…

Come, dear, I’ll show you something…

How’s it?

Mother has a belly as big as this…

When you were about to be delivered, she’d this much large a belly.

Why don’t you draw the babe

Because the babe is not contesting at all… the babe is there within the belly…

What’s the sex of the babe… male or, female…

Tell me what should it be…

I won’t tell….

Then, let that suspense remain intact…

[humming refrain]

Presee…

What is this, Pravee…

They’re bought for you from the Kudumbasree market…

How ludicrous…

It’s simply my duty…

Duty or debt…I’ll pay back…

Shall we keep accounts for all these, Prasee…

Definitely, Pravee…

Whenever I come across your expressionless

face, I wanted to ask if you forgot everything

What’s there to remember? Coming with you for a

film…embracing you behind a ferry when we went to see the

sea…Kissing you at Suluechee’s thatched shed on the day of their house-warming…I forgot them long back…

But I haven’t forgotten

What can I do for that…

Are you planning to drop Raghuettan?

If yes…

Can I invite you to my life…

Only if you leave him…

No comments now… let the election get over…

You are playing fun with me…

Let this delivery be over… then, I can think of… okay?

Please don’t feel bad… As it was you, I asked you this directly…

As it is you, I’m replying thus,

Let me take leave of you…

We can meet at the meeting venue…

Poor chap…

You might have expended the amount of loan…

you’re right… But we didn’t have any deal with you.

There is no meaning in your assurance that you’ll settle the account, as Praseeda is our client…

Sir, I need some more time…

The party members have offered to do something.

We can see… But the bank cannot do anything beyond certain limits…

This is rupees 15000… If you give me time,

I can wok harder and pay back the amount…

Once in a blue moon payment like this will not solve the issue…

I know sir… still for my peace of mind…

Okay… please pay the amount in the cash counter and leave…

One thing, please don’t try to waste my time like this…

We request you to elect our beloved candidate

Zakaria Kunnammel, the warrior of KNC, voting

for his electoral symbol Kite in the

by-election to ward 4 of Tiruvala Gramapanchayat

There are only a couple of houses remaining…

This is almost over… next is serial no. 136

It’s our Padmechi

I’ll visit Beebi, and join you… carry on…

You’d rather go there alone…if we come, it’d affect the vote…

This is the house of our Raviettan’s sister’s house…

Kite is our symbol… Zakhariya is our candidate…

Kite is our symbol… Zakhariya is our candidate…

Ma…

Come here… dear candidate…

Won’t you win, Prasoo…

Isn’t this your party ward?

Please be seated…

So, what… you are the candidate…

were you troubled among your busy election schedule…

No such a question, umma… Why did you want to see me…

Please bring that…

What?

Your damned oblivion…

Oh God… I forgot it…

You’ve no issue now…

No, umma..

This gestation period of ten months is another age…we are not simply ourselves…

I wish the babe inside would be a male… no hardships then…

Isn’t it another act of power to give birth to a girl child?

Now, think of us women giving birth only to girl children

and filling this world with women…

Yet, why did you give birth to boys only, umma…

Why are you laughing, darling?

We’re blaming you…

That’s great…

This is for you… a small amount…

No, umma… Already I owe you…

Take it, Prasoo

Take it, please…

Receive it, as if given by your mother Karthyayani…

Be careful,

chechi… when shall I come…

Please come after two hours…

Why like this chechi…why don’t we entrust this to someone else…

Adv. Leelamma has entrusted me this work… it’s fair if I am doing it on my own…

Alright

Okay comrade…

You can’t be won over in argument.

Please, get in buddy…

We can go to the party office…

Hello, I had called you in the morning… then the phone was switched off…

Tomorrow, Suluechi will be there with me… Will be finished by tomorrow…

when are they coming?

Can I move back from my word on the grounds of election?

Everything will have a smooth course…

Jafar will manage the works outside and clean the tank…

there’ll be an assistant with him

There’s time before the date… we can go on like this for some time more…

will be careful…

That’s enough… You can google pay me

Okay…

I didn’t want to make a scene before our daughter and others…

You should just listen to me…

On drinking you may tell many things…I know that very well

I’m not drunk now…

I know what you are going to tell… I am not at all interested to listen to…

The babe inside you is ours.

Are you sure…

Yes… quite sure…

If so, I am not sure…

Don’t tell lies like this just to revenge upon me… God forbid…

God?

Whose God?

I came not to argue you out, but to tell only one thing…

please don’t get into any danger running after election and work…

Don’t make me call you names…

I know how to look after the one inside me…

Seetha, even then

No more arguments…

the relationship between us came to a close when you manhandled me…

clear off…

Candidate Saramma…

Leave it, Raghuetta..

Shut up…

what are you doing when I am chatting with my mate…

Alright… then, I leave it….

You have not understood Raghu even now, my dark beauty…

Even at Sabarimala, I was praying for you and our kids… in the name of Swamy.

Tell me if that photo is as beautiful as the one I drew…

Raghuvetta…

Oh You dusky dak girl

Like a beautiful fish…

My heart is beating

Like the beats of a drum

Come on, Raghuetta…

Isn’t it Raghuettan?

Prasiyechi is a bold character… I like that character…

Anyway… Prasiyechi has given us a challenge… it was seat sure to win with a song…

Why, man… you have any doubt now regarding our success?

No.. will win… but,

majority…

Let it go down… the real thrill of success lies in competition…

not right, Manu?

Hope you win…

Why so?

It was just a remark…

I’m afraid of you people…

We are neck and neck in campaigning.

The candidature of Praseeda has given us additional mileage.

That’s right. But don't be careless in the last round…

Please don’t forget that there are people

in this ward voting for them at any cost…

The present impression is that Praseeda’s personal bond

with people above politics will be beneficial for us…

Prasiyechi should spend a bit more time actively in campaigning…

You may stop going for work now…

only a few days are left for election now…

But, Sadique… this blending of work and campaigning

together has created great impression on social media…

Deepa is right…

though this decision was taken as a challenge, it has hit the mark…

Going for the job was not meant as an image builder,

it was my stance… yet,

Sreenath, I’ve met whorever I am to…

I didn’t mean it…

There’re points in both your statements…

Even then, Praseeda for some days should be full time there in the field.

That is essential… everything else can be considered after the election …

That is to be done, Prasiyechi…

If everybody desires so, let it be done…

Please don’t plan any heavy physical exertion tasks with her…

if anything untoward happens from our side, all will turn against the party…

Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me…

Anyway, Seetha, what Sulochana remarked must be specially taken

care of… the security of you and the kid is very important…

What is the babe telling, Kaliyamma…

It’s time for the kid to come out, my girl…

Let the election be over…

If it’s over, good…

but that is doubtful…

Kaliyamma… would you cast your vote for us this time?

She’s my child… do I need your recommendation for that…

See you, then…

Bye…

Please, don’t forget Chechi…

Of course, Prasee…

Kumaretta, need I emphasize again… Star is our symbol…

Sure…

please don’t forget…

Amma…

Seethamma…

Amma…

where are you… Amma…

Amma, open your eyes…

My dear…

My darling…

Don’t be frightened, dear…

The champion of comprehensive development, Zakaria Kunnammel is passing

this way. Kite is our symbol. Zakaria Kunnammel is our candidate.

If you desire the growth of the land, we request you to elect our beloved

candidate Zakaria Kunnammel, the warrior of the KNC, to win the by-election.

Please stop… Raghuetta.. How’s chechi?

Hope there’s no problem…

Nope…

I’m going there after finale of the campaign…isn’t she in the district hospital?

Ajaya, please come to cast the vote…

I needn’t specially remind you the symbol…

Our symbol is kite…

Kite.. okay, then…

Zakhariya…

Raghuetta, what are you gazing at… please come…

Dear natives of Tiruvala grama panchayat… We request you to cast your vote

to the ICP candidate K. Praseeda, an ordinary lady who is just one among

you and, born in the red soil of Tiruvala

reddened with the blood of revolutionaries,

in her symbol of star and to place her in the shrines of victory

Darling… Darling…

Seethamma delivered… it’s a girl…

no problems… the babe will be brought right now.

Father….

Who was on the phone?

It was Praveen…

Was the result announced?

Tell me, please …

Yes… you were…

This ward is our monopoly…

Monopoly of KLC…

Ward no. 4 is our monopoly…

You were defeated on a margin of ten votes…

Why are you in such a tension to break that…

I haven’t come to stay as you think… I came to assist Damuettan…

He came to help me… now, he has cleaned the whole house…

We thought of leaving after finishing… a little more is left…

You should collect your remuneration and clear off after finishing…

Wait… let me hide this broom and sheet…

It’s not such an evil thing, ultimately…

Take it easy, man…

Come with me man, instead of staring at me dumbfounded…

What…

Come here…

Are you nuts, man, to take him into the house…

Okay… beware of the fact that I had brought

him in deliberately… shouldn’t he see his kid…

We could’ve done it gradually…

Then, what could you people do, so far…

She was…

What she…What’s the great crime he’s committed?

In a drunken stage he beat her… that’s all…

It’s not mere beating… it should be like he manhandled her for no reason…

He’s apologized many times… pleaded to her…

She maintains that it’s not enough…

What else does she need…

I don’t know…

This is insoluble

I want to see my kid…

Are you sure it’s your own blood?

I told you innumerable times…

Ey… you beat me, didn’t you?

I’ll hit you again… you wanted them… take it as something you deserved…

You availed bank loan on my name mortgaging the land and house my mother bequeathed me.

Now, when the legal action notice was issued by the bank, can’t I ask you for clarity?

You wretch… I know how to repay the loan that I availed…

Then, why was this notice issued?

If we’re left destitute and homeless, I’ll kill you…

I’m a worthless scumbag…

you have Kudumba Shree, Employment scheme and the party…

I can understand everything…I’m not up to your mark… am I?

Yes man… I have put up with you so long… now, I can’t anymore…

Why did you put up with? You could’ve quit…you bitch…

This is my house and land… it’s you who is to quit, you scoundrel…

I will go…

… if the hubris that you show is the result of the party supporters,

it’s like as negligible as this… I know…

You had not hit me physically so far…

now you did that… now everything is finished…

You cur…

If I don’t take vengeance for beating me black and blue, I am not a woman…

You’ll piss me off, you slut…

I was waiting for an apt situation after the delivery to get you duly,

You’re still furious?

It won’t be over that easily…

How many times I pleaded before you… shall I now bow before you…

I should not be counted among those women

who would be forgetting everything and posing

for a family photo succumbing to your histrionics of bowing, hugging and kissing them…

Can I see my child once?

You can see, and quit at the earliest… I’ve works to attend…

Don’t touch it…

Shall I repeat whatever I’ve already said?

Mom and the babe are there…

I’d gone home…

You imp… so, you saw the kid before I came, didn’t you?

Yes…

Who’s it like?

Tell me…

Like your mother…

Why are you not in your usual spirits… won’t you come to meet mom anymore?

May come, sometimes…

Praseedechi…

Didn’t she come? Nafeesatha told she would come today…

Wanted to come earlier, Praseedechi… where’s the kid?

It’s sleeping… get in, please…

No, not now… the new one is a girl, isn’t it?

Yes…

You thought of any name?

Swatantra (independent)

It’s, of course, an elegant name…

We came to… Sandeep, please take it…

Give me…

You are good fighter, Praseedechi…

It was not I, it was my party that put up the fight…

Alright then, Praseedechi… see you…

Right…

Please do come…

We did not see the kid…

Let it sleep calmly…

What’s up, comrades…

Nothing special… simply got out…

We came to greet Praseedechi…

Oh… these are the novel customs of a new age…

Yes… come…

When are you going to Kasargod?

Let these worries be over…

Isn’t it Praseedechi’s daughter that’s coming?

What happened, your school dispersed earlier today?

I, Nidhi K. Praseeda,

do swear solemnly affirm that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India as by law established,

that I will uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India,

that I will faithfully and conscientiously discharge my duties as a Chief Minister for the State of Kerala

and that I will do right to all manner of people in accordance with the

Constitution and the law without fear or favour, affection or ill-will.
