One in the morning and one at nigh

-okay

Twenty Rupees

What do you want?

Brother..

I need a condom

What size?

Durex, Moods Manforce

which one

That...

Something my size

Thirty Rupees

Brother, Gpay ?

Okay

Brother…..Have paid

Ah sir,

One of this-this is additional has been prescribed…

the one with Oval-1, I think he doctor said, is not needed…

please check

Content is the same Sir,

though rate is slightly higher

I told you earlier that

we will go to some outlet.

He asked me about the size and all that.

Is this necessary.

I do not think this will work out,

like what the old man said

Start the bike...

Ha…ha..ha.. The world is a red globe.

When the carpet is spread and when laughter breaks out,

he becomes a slave of the world.

With sight, he blocks the eyes,

cries

shame…shame.

We cannot solve the problems with the kind of thinking.

Push your souls

because no one else can do it for you

The make-up man who was supposed to have come, could not come.

It seems his work is not over.

When they asked for a make up man,

I thought of you.

Before I could confirm ,

the car has reached

If it was this far, we could have decided before starting.

The programme is at seven and it is already five thirty.

To complete it, the make-up man is not a magician.

If the work is not completed in time,

the blame will be on the make-up man.

You should have been world renowned make-up man.

You have studied so much

and even in foreign countries

It is not qualification but thought that counts.

its all about mindset

Can I change if the others have a different set of mind

My colour and my fat ridden body are factors that disqualifies me

- not my qualifications as a make up man…

ah…forget it

Dhum tharikada thimritha tharikada thai…thai…thai (chants before events)

I am a male. I am not a slave (sighing)

that dark state of mind if it is changed and when I come out of it..

she…she...

I am a female..

I have got a child…

my husband is in the Gulf.

Occasionally, we , the sake of pleasure,I have gone with him.

Once, my husband doubted me..

I told him the truth.

Ayyo..ayyo… (sobbing)

He… raped me fourteen times.

He took me to a lot of places

(sobbing)

Ha..ha..ha.. (laughing aloud)

The male in me was given consent by her to commit 14 wrong doings.

It was then titled as sexual harassment

I was bestowed with a title…

ha..ha..ha… (laughing)

rapist.

Indeed, the victim was innocent… so the society says

Dhumta tharikada thimritha tharikada

thai…thai..thai

You could have run away….

it has become regular with me and it is okay

it has become regular with me and it is okay

He would advise me a lot.

My parents will think that I have done something wrong

Then , why the hell do you want to go there again?

I have had enough.

My neck and chest are paining.

My mouth hurts

but it seems normal to the public because I am a male

Anyway, you have not complained to anyone about what he did to you

Somehow I cannot complain

and it will be an excuse stating that I am a male.

Won’t it hurt be it a boy or girl.

Won’t we be scared.

Father…..

Son….

Father, are you worried?

No...

It is your happiness that is precious.

n’t hate mother.

when parents like you go your separate ways ,

you do not understand the trauma in the minds of those unfortunate children

You both are not ready to compromise.

I need you both-father and mother

Do not cry.

what I have learned I have taught you

- not to cry

-not because you are a boy.

Be it male or female, you will cry when something troubles you.

You will also have to find solutions to end it

You should win over the despair.

Even happiness brings in tears.

You should live like your father…

Hey… Coffee or tea?

Heh…heh...

In reality…

It is Nalan’s kitchen (a folk character)

You can also call me a cook.

He will really cook with a lot of love in it..

making it tasty

But his beliefs have changed.

The question was whether males should enter the kitchen

Ahh…

this area is taken over by females

When the notion of equality came in,

the role of males were restricted to scrapping coconuts,cutting vegetables and the like

Heh…heh… (laughter)

Sorry sir, I am bit late

Since I did not see you, I made tea

Don’t I need to have a cup of tea by 9.00 o’clock

two cups of tea?…

Madam…

Ah! I forgot.

You can have one tea ….

Nalan’s tea

hah..hah..

You know that I cannot drink either tea or coffee

Again I will have to keep on telling you whether it is tea or coffee for you

I think the tea has a special taste since I made it

I heard.. the usage of the word.. male tea (Nalan’s tea)

This… is before food in the morning

drink it

Hey, my usage style of male tea!

I think that is irreconcilable

Heh….

that is because I am a male..

Male...

She came in late…

umm.

Yes dear,

I offered her a cup of tea.

poor girl!

She has to maintain her household

True

Today ….it is the 14th.

don’t know if chemo will be necessary

Hope we will know after one week

Hmm….yes

My hair…

I thought I got rid of cancer.

He might have liked me again

Oh! Let it come,dear..

It might have liked living with us…

we will accommodate it also…

heh…heh..heh

There is some privacy here.

The other place is crowded because of the cultural festival(kalolsavam)

Hey! Today being a holiday

why did you ask me to come in uniform to the campus, lying about extra class?

Give me..

no reason..

are you having your periods today?

No…

is this the reason why you called me

No dear…

let me ask you.

Do you remember the day one year back…

You asked me for an help

that day…

yes…

napkin…

I wanted you to buy me a napkin

yes..

that is when I told you about my love for you

Oh ho….

First day anniversary

or committed day anniversary treat

(laughing together)

You know very well about my life….

my father and mother are working abroad.

You are my comfort zone.

It is not romantic enough…..

Let red flowers shower our path while

We linger, let us hold hands

And walk through the glade

Together with that, I will give you deepest love.

Great. All males are the same.

How could you get me that fast?

Don’t differentiate between males and females.

The same thought would have crossed your mind.

Otherwise, you would never have been here stating you have extra classes

Hmm.. will come

Hey…come on

Could you not get someone better

He is a very good artiste.

Don’t discriminate him

How can he be an artiste. He is so dark.

If he is a make up man,

he does not look like one

It is over

We are of the same age.

When it comes to marriage, you can never reach the kind of maturity.

However, I promise,I will marry you, whoever objects.I am yours.

Promise

Hmm… that is not necessary.

Wait.

Keep this

I am giving you three hundred rupees

Sir,

if it was some other person, you would have given thousands of rupees.

But I am dark and not handsome but I have the ability to work.

even so

My mind is fair and clear

and that is why I came when called

Let us end this now.

Its time to go

Hey!

Don’t go

Can I get a cigarette.

In our friend’s gang,

I know how the love track works. We know how it is.

We should not follow them

I did not think on that line.

Promise. I am sure I am meant for you only

My body is meant for you.

I need to have the knot tied on my neck.

Enough.

This promise is enough,

forever...

Good that you had studied nursing.It comes in handy

In those days, my parents had no idea.

If it was B.Sc nursing,

I would have been a government employee

How many times have I told you not to dump clothes like this.

To whom should I say this

I only have to expose myself to rain, I come down with a fever.

When I gave the cough syrup tothe doctor, he said,

” you medical rep -will be the first person to consume it”

if we go on with what we do now, we will not be able to survive

Our children are growing.

I have had enough of this here

Children should grow without any difficulties.

That is why I told you that we could have bought the visa

I had told you many time that when you go to the Gulf,

I will be alone with the children.

That is impossible

In fact, I had told you that I will try but you said you cannot manage alone

When the children grow up and if the father is not present,it will be difficult to manage them

The younger one is loaded with such mischief that I cannot tolerate

there was an enquiry about the 8 sovereign gold ornament.

The liability after the bye pass has not been cleared.

How can I sell it wthout your permission.

What can I say? It was my parents who asked.

It was brought by you on our marriage.

There is no difference on whether it is you or I

It is for the welfare of the family.

It is our family saving You can decide

Hello Sir, What are you thinking?

Whatever is being said by either of us is being recorded as per the instructions of the court,

okay?

You both do not know what the problem is between yourselves….

Right?

That only means there are no serious issues.

It is easy to get a divorce if both of you consent, but what happens to the children

You should remember that.

You know,

In many cases, when both of them come to me,the men seem to be weaker than women.

Many of them contemplate suicide.

Do you know who goes into deep depression? Men.

it has been 13 years since our marriage and there were good and bad times.

Look…she sent me the divorce notice.

The contents in the notice are depressing.

All these 13 years, I have been looking after them very lovingly and cared for everything.

I had given her two children to be loved.

to make life more easy for them, I had worked at more than one job

Is this the domestic violence, as stated .

Section 498

my dear parents-they are not alive or else they also would have been the defendants.

It is not that there are people like that but she knows the truth.

Look mister,

these are contents are according to the procedure while addressing the court

A lot of these are included for strengthening the case

I did not read the contents.

I merely signed it when asked by the advocate.

I need the divorce, whatever.

I agree to the divorce.

I will sign the documents and also workhard to repay for the ornaments but on one condition

- I need my children.

I want to give my love to the children and bring them up.

I will not leave them, whateve law hinders my path

Don’t cry. We can try to solve it

You say I should not cry.

Where will I contain my sorrows because I am a male,

when I have a problem, should I cry after closing the room

should cry in the bathroom ...so no one can see it.

I have had enough.

How many males face such quandry?

I really had enough.

It is alright if she does not want me,

but I need my children. I want them...

Father..

Breathe in….

Breathe out…

Open your eyes.

Please be seated

Mental ability… able to be “mended”,

” fixable” ,“repairable” and “rectifiable” .

Improve academic performance and behavior regulations.

n direct our mind in the right direction with this dance form.

For this, uniform dress code is not necessary.

Your steps need not been in the rhythm. I am not forcing you.

Only one factor-

your mind must be relaxed and free.

Then whatever you do will have uniformity and will be rhythmic.

Can we wind up the class?

Hey….

stay back, both of you

(Panting..running..Hesitating)

don’t cry…

eat….

Why don’t you eat?..

Why don’t you eat?..

Why don’t you eat?..

why cant you eat food?

(cuddling the baby)

I do not want to go to the dance class.

I can now concentrate.

I do not want any coaching from that teacher.

Okay. Don’t go .You sit at home and play with the mobile.

If your exam marks show a downward trend, I will change my mind

I do not want any mobile.

Am not going to the dance class.

That sir….. that sir, is not what he is…

He sends out dirty looks…

and then…

Son….. what are you a girl ?

What kind of dirty looks….huh

Did the dance master beat you, son?.

You are a boy.

Boys should not be afraid…

boys should always have courage

Don’t cry. Boys should not cry

You all play on the stage and streets,

Instead of playing male and female roles, cant they make it one?

I do not know why.

We are all in unison

but if a girl cries aloud

or one touches her dress,

the coward male will piss in his pants

is it correct or not?

That is the protection given by law to females

But in my life , when she cried out,

I lost my livelihood

Went to jail for six years

and my mother became terminally ill and is a maid servant

I cannot attend any marriage function.

Where a group congregates, I am humiliated as a molester.

And what about the girl?

When you weigh the situation, she is also circumstantially innocent..

whatever…

This may be new to him

but respect given to the teacher enhances the actors modesty

(Bhavas)

You and your love.

What is wrong with the advise the old man gave you?

Love…what kind of love is that?

Whatever. I still want her.

She is mine

It is your decision.

You should understand when I tell you

I need her in my life.I cannot think of another.She needs me for sure

Love is like the ocean.

Waves come one after the other.

Only if you sleep can you wake up.

If a girl from one class goes, there will be another from yet another class…

some waves wash your feet and it is great fun

Don’t you want such fun?

If I was the one, I would dip my feet in the way and have great fun and let it go…I will be happy

I do not want such happiness.

Good morning, guys

Morning...

I don’t care that you are the resort owner, here.

I want to go on a college tour.

I want Rs.10000

Hmm…. Go and ask your father..

he is in America , minting money. Some are like this.

They forget their children and leave them to the grand parents… to set their future.

We take care of them and eventually when they mature, the children are uprooted and taken back…

for their future.

The grand parents foster the children and the reward is sadness and disappointment

I don’t intend to go without owning the assets.

I will leave only after stealing the assets..

Come…To tell the truth, without you both, I would have already grown old.

It is already 10-15 years that I have not given room to solitude and have found happiness otherwise

You know, I am a soldier…..

You know, I am a soldier…..

When I heard about your love, I did not entertain it because of that.

No one can predict the kind of love you share nowadays

My love is true, old man….very true.

I cannot live without her.

The biggest mistake a mal makes is sacrifices for the girl…

This world is for you, youngsters

Fly like the birds

and when the wings become tired , perch on a branch and think wisely.

Eventually you will restore the strength to fly and capture the world

Here , take this

Lucky that I took the clothes from the clothesline.

Where did Sir go?

If he was there, he would have scattered the papers all over the chair.

If I don’t arrange them, he would scold me

Can you do me a favour?

Can you help me sit outside?

If it is really necessary,

it is okay but only for a few minutes

I do not have any problem.

It is only for the peace of my husband that I am taking rest.

I cannot stand seeing him in despair.

Wait, I will bring the wheel chair

No.

I want my feet to touch the floor

Slowly

What is it in between you and your husband?

That…..

that is nothing but the family member creating a ruckus over trifles…..

Who loses….

you….

Do you know? My husband is my life.

I think my husband is so very humble.

To tell the truth,I have not given him even half the love he has for me.

Males are like this.

Males are so very innocent and peaceful.

Of course there are violent ones also.

It is also there with the ladies

No Sister. I have never bothered him in any way.

A lot of adverse statements , which, were not true was mentioned in the divorce papers.

They were not true but I had to adhere to their advice.

You can change your mind.

I do not subscibe to the fact that there is a man behind the success of a woman.

Females can always gain victory.

But behind the victory of every man, there will be a woman- it can be the mother.

There is only one life, my dear.

It is up to you to paint it dark or with colour

The last 13 years she had been living with me and now… the divorce.

In the court, there is proof of the ornaments worn 13 years ago.

She has also mentioned about marriage expenses.

What voice do I have as a male?

I had not asked her any dowry. Not even a single paise..

Yet, now she states that she had worn 50 sovereigns of gold.

The delirious dreams that we created and made included all her needs which were also expended by her.

Now, I have to return it all

Does my hard work not find a place in this?

My children- are they also not mine?

Should the not grow in my presence?

It is all true but the law has given females, the upper hand.

If a lady files a case under CRPC 153, in the police station,

they have to ensure that a case is registered, immediately.

That is the kind of assurance a female gets under law.

But fungus can grow on new walls also.

Come with me. I need to smoke.

and now 498 has been charged against me.

I had not taken away her gold. I have only bought gold for her.

The house….it is 1400square feet and

I had paid for her father’s treatment.

Can you tell me the reason for the charges under 498….

what domestic violence?

It is like this lit cigarette.

It keeps on consuming and akin to family life…

Don’t worry..

The court had permitted the mother, as a female, to keep the children.

As a father, don’t I have a right over them?

Don’t I need to see them grow and also their happiness?

As a male why should I be refused all these?

The court should give similar rights to males as given to females.

They should give similar rights to men.

They should take men in to confidence what the males have to say.

This is the situation faced by all advocates in divorce cases.

Don’t worry.We will deal with it.

Whatever said and done, I need my children

I need them to grow in my presence

No courts should refuse us males the right to our relationship with the children whatever the reason

That guy is three years younger to you.

And he is already married

It is not that I do not understand

but then the desire to see you married emerges once in a while.

The only time I get some consolation is when I sit here.

Eat….

I did not bring it but I made it for you.

Today, you are 30 years old.

30 years…I had been in jail for six years and what did you do?

Thirty, it seems…thirty..

here, eat this rice as a part of my death rituals.

Be it 30 or 35, who cares about my life?

Nobody wants it..

Can’t you leave me alone at least now?

enough….

I have been carrying waste and also preparing food and you..

You are being arrogant

I will only like to get lost…

I don’t have anyone else to confide in…

I will drive an auto for our livelihood.

With that,we will be able to face life and live proud with the income.

My dear son, I need you

You need not go for the job again.

With the income from the auto ,

we can meet both ends.

Don’t go for that menial job.

This male son will be enough to look after you

Son, remove the beard.

You will be the old person.

Let the public see your new face.

Brother,You did not say anything

This will not work out.

He is not fit for the job.

If a person wants to do something to earn a living, as a workshop owner,

don’t you think you have the duty to help him out, brother.

Don’t make him ride on a bullock cart without wheels, brother.

Brother, say something…

What is it with me?

If he is ready for a job, let him be.

Seems he molested a girl.I am not bothered if he had raped a girl 14 times..

but what about the public?

My dear brother,

you know me since childhood.

I am not bothered if he had raped a girl 14 times…. but what about the public?

I am a B.Sc graduate

but I am not getting a job anywhere because of this issue

and now, you ???

:I do not understand how a girl can be raped 14 times.

Is she a mannequin from a showroom

There was a flood in around 2000.

The entire area was deluged.

Your father was alive at tha time. You were very small.

He placed you in my arms, so small… and told me to take you across safely.

He got into the boat to go call your mother from the house…

But he never came back.

I made sure that not a drop of rain fell on you and we landed on the other shore.

No, son,

I will not blame you

but you should not be the person to drive around in an auto.

Wait….

I do not mind giving my auto to you…

But is it appropriate….

Yes brother,

I have to work.

I need some money to live.

I do not want that poor lady to do that menial job in the hotel.

I need to make some money, however meagre

This auto is yours.

Go and earn

Why are you sitting here?

Did you not go to school?

I did not go

Why did you not go?

Are you the one to decide?

Come on , get on the vehicle…

come on

Check on the despatch and the stock for tomorrow and goods to be returned.

I don’t want the manager to breathe down my neck.

Hello

-telll me brother

did he eat anything in the morning?

-What happened?

He has not gone to school today

-What happened to him?

-Is he near you?

Don’t let him know I told you.

Since I am your brother, I have similar responsibility.

I will ask him

sir, order please

what do you want?

I don’t want anything

One Biriyani

ok

What happened to you?

Why did you not go to school?

Are you old enough to stay away from school?

I do not want to study.

I do not want to live in this bad world.

Eat…

What happened to you?

Did the teacher spank you

or scold you for getting low marks?

or did you fight with someone.

It is really sad.

Your father is in the Gulf and you have been looked after very well.

is it that you are showing off that your father is coming from the Gulf?.

Tell me the reason

That master…

dance…I…

What?

How do you know?

Okay, I will check that

.Don’t let anyone else know.

Are you not a boy?

Maybe, it is your imagination.

Brother, I think you should go.

It will be a permanent job

That is what I have been telling him.

At least,he has to see that you are married off

I have also decided to go.

If I get a few days making up in a serial,

we will have sufficient to live without any difficulty.

It is not a job as a make up man but a touch up artiste.

It is okay.

Instead of an occasional 300 or 400, this will be a solution.

But…..

But what???? It is not a repeat of the same.

This is a different set.

Why?….Dark skinned people should not work as a make up artiste?

Brother, you are highly educated

Brother, you are highly educated

You should go for this

He will definitely go.

He is your brother. He will definitely go

Chew the stuff and spit it around the whole place.

I will go now and you can clean it up, later.

Brother, get going fast.

The play is at 10.00 am and this time I am an emperor.

I need to perform well

Are you not are a good dancer.

That means that you will good as an dancer and singer.

: I will not get a regular role as an dancer or singer.

In this I can be the King , Queen or the emperor

Brother, get me ready for the act.

This drama is only after dark. I will be there

(humming a malayalam song)

What a crazy girl is this!

(humming a malayalam song)

and now for a wonderful married life, tomorrow it will be our 30th year.

Do you remember what you gave me on our first anniversary?

Anyway, I had not bought you any gold or dresses.

I believe that what we keep in our memory is more precious than any other possessions.

I believe that if we transcend our memories and start loving our dreams,

it only means we are getting old. Look…

I am not that old…

(Singing an old malayalam movie song - mathurapathinezhu kaari)

You are always my sweet seventeen year old

It was in one June month, like now

that we could not come back from the Lankan ship we boarded in Kochi.

That was the day when Rajeev Gandi was assassinated.

But, on that day, I saw the interior of the ship.

I had dinner and I was taken to the interior of the ship.

saw the sky… from the very top of the ship.

Do you still remember all that?

that was the present you gave me on the first anniversary to a village girl.

Yes…One of my best friends.

He was in charge of the ship.

do you want a function or a gift similar to the earlier one, tomorrow

That is not necessary.

When you married me you were a handsome man

-Oh…lies

Even now.

A male is handsome when he is modest and simple. That is the saying

How do you remain so handsome

My dear, enough of those praises.

It is getting late.

Try to get some sleep

Did you take all those medicines?

Medicines are only a part of my strength, master

My mind is relaxed.

Let me tell you something…

These four walls, and the hospital … how long...

When I knew that my father would die,

he was attached to the ventilator for six days.

It seemed that he used to look me up from that cold room.

If he had been in the house he built,

surrounded by all of us,

he might have lived the seventh day.

He would have been very comfortable, dying in his own house.

your mind is wandering

I remember the tea and fritters from the tea shop,

the ice cream in the park,

sitting on the last seat of the bus.

So much joy in those days in the past.

When I think of those days..

enough it is very late now Tomorrow, we have a date with the doctor.

I don’t think you will need anymore chemo. The doctor had confirmed it.

Sleep now.

Brother, you should not have been a male

What is wrong if I am a male

If you had been a female, you would have been fair like me,

You would have got a lot of clients.

Is that being dark worrying you.

The person who creates beauty need not qualify as being beautiful…

then how can people understand

Do you know , our mother was very dark

not very dark but…..

Now have you start hating dark?

Okay as you say

If she puts on round bindi and poses, you will know how beautiful she was.

That dark skin was a beauty

but you became fair and I became dark like mother

Are you dissatisfied that instead of making up professional clients,

you are working on school children?

Will you become an emperor only by putting on make up and bindi?

You need to have expert knowledge even in basic making up.

One can make anyone fair on stage.

But you know, understanding the right skin tone is super important

—and honestly, only a makeup expert can really do that properly.

Your brother is an expert

and can make an angel, a queen or a nymph

but your brother is a looming dark cloud, my dear.

These people do not like me attending on them.

They think the colour is contagious.

They do not understand.

The society shuns stating that as I am a dark skinned make up man.

“Lo and behold , my dark skinned make up man,

I the Sultan of Golconda

declares that your make up has attracted me.

Case number 137/2025

Regarding Male vs Female

Do you remember the 14 places?

Objection your honour.

My client is the victim. Please do not ask her distressing questions

If you agree with the 14 rapes,

should be remembering the places

My house-

in my own bedroom,

in my ancestral home when we went to pick up the plucked coconuts,

I had not seen Kochi before,

went to see Kochi,

during vacations to Munnar

and it was a lot more misty in Ooty

My Lord, kindly note

The victim remembers all 14 places clearly

and so also the defendant.

Both do not deny it.

As such, equality should be taken in to account

Did the defendant, a male, rape you in all these places?

Is it not?

Or were you not conscious all the while?

What is your vocation?

They all say that I am a joker.

I do not have any voice in the court.

I have to stay mute in court as a male

I have got no say, as a male in court My words are only secondary.

I stand as a mute, as a doll, listening to whatever that transpires

Do you know who this is?

yes

Wife? Lover?

Then why did you go to 14 places?

Because I was born a male

are you a joker.

yes…

Do you know how to make people think or only make them laugh?

My emotions and my physical set up is the same as you all

Silence

According to the proofs received by the court,

the defendant is found guilty.

The male has raped the female 14 times.

As such, the court rules that the female is the victim, the perpetrator

You do not vomit as usual, now.

No, doctor

Your BP is normal and there are no abnormal signs.

-Okay

Continue the medicines

So what else is new?

I am good.

Many many happy returns of the day.

Thank you , doctor

Wishing you both a hundred years of longevity as newly wedded couple

You have come out of the lethal stage

But you will have to take the medicines regularly

You should have accurate follow up

Nothing to be worried about.

Be happy. Okay?

Are you worried that our children are not with us?

If I am to tell the truth. Yes.

When they were with us, we gave them so much love.

Their higher education sent them away.

In our mind, they are still close to us.

Isn’t it?

Can I drive?

Do you want it?..

He had seen the girl and had liked her

So now you can tell them the rest

There is a saying by our ancestors that

the banana leaf is cleaned by sprinkling water and set in front,

We are not going back on our words.

Our daughter decides.

She told us she likes the boy and so do we

Don’t mix the marriage with the lunch you had.

A fist full of rice, that is what we have to offer.

Does not matter where it is, you are invited to eat.

He does not have anyone to come with him.

He is my son’s friend and is our family member.

He has a small job and is a government employee

Small, do you say?

He is employed as a peon in a bank and that is never small.

Here, my husband used to prepare tea and fritters to be sold.

This was our income and we came up in life with this meagre income.

After his operation, he stopped the business

Why do you want to repeat. It is known to all

You have to tell everything.

It is about the marriage and there should be no concerns, after

We know your concern.

We have not bought any gold ornaments but seen that she was educated well enough.

I am only afraid that if I die suddenly , I d not want to leave her in a lurch

Enough of that.

They know all about us.

I have saved and I do have about 10 to 12 sovereigns of gold ornaments.

That is the only savings we have.

What are you saying?

some times groom demand according to his job

The boy likes her and that is why we are here

and not to bargain for gold.

Say something about it

Keep quiet.

What is worrying you? Keep quiet

He wanted me to say that the boy is 34 years old.

Is 34 too old?

He is a proud male....

This happens to be my seventh match making episode

what about you?

-This is the first one

Is it true?

Yes

In the last six instances, I wore my cooling glass.

Maybe because of that, I dd not like the girls.

I had second thought when I came to see you.

I like you.

How about you?

I like you

but will agree on one condition…

I need to get a job

After getting independence, people have the freedom of their choice.

I am not a person to interfere in your freedom.

All males say that but after marriage, men take a different stance.

Without a job…

You should not be in two minds and should never lower your stance.

When you lower your head, you see only your feet and the dirt around it

When you raise your head you see a million opportunities

but certain circumstances make women lower their head.

They say it is the character of women...

hey… I do not like smoking.

sorry...

Even I do not like to smoke. I am a bit tensed.

Come on, make it fast.

Once selected, you guys tend to slow down.

Master, whatever mother said was incorrect.

Why should she worry if I have to go out?

cut

Sir, you are new, we are in the industry for quite some time now

Sir, if a man of this type comes for touch up,

I will only sweat more.

The male should be fair and better looking. This one…

he..I shudder to look him up

your issue is that he is a male.

If it was a female with these looks,colour and body,

it would have been fair for you

You know, when I was studying in Pune,

one of the books I had come across was his

He got his doctorate in one of his research titled “Black and White”.

That means that he would have been valued with a “ Doctorate” in front of his name.

Unfortunately,he is only a touch up man in my set

What is wrong in him being dark?

What is the kind of taboo you find in him?

Don’t you think that the qualification is the yard stick?

Whatever....a crow is always a crow so also a crane

Call the controller

Call the controller -Brother….

Is it a break now?

It is not that

These people have been in the industry for long

I am new.

We don’t need this man in the set.

These people have been in the industry for years.

I am new.We don’t need this man on the set

Today’s shooting is over

You should not have let him off like that

He should not come to the set again

Religion and body shaming are the new factors

If he is sent out for these reasons…

you know how the social media will take it..

I have to look after my image.

Deal with him accordingly.

I will help you.

I will arrange for a glamorous touch up artist for you.

There is so much tension and now a make up man with no make up

He could have had a white wash before he came here just like our madam.

You cannot go without telling the truth.

Where did you keep the ring that madam gave you at the time of making up.

I have not taken it.

I am telling the truth.

She did not give it to me.

Without it, you are not going anywhere

I did not take it, sir…true..

Oh! my mother!!!

My colour…is it that bad, mother?

Shall I die, mother?

I cannot go on suffering

Can you kill me ?

They came to see me yesterday

Father decided on this matrimony.

My father had an operation and for that the house was mortgaged.

If something happens to him, I do not know what will happen to me..

marriage….

I could not do anything.

I am just 20 years.

Do you have a cigarette.?

plz forgive me...

Perhaps, a women’s defeat is her concern over marriage,

Who cares for the woman’s thoughts?

Who needs her permission?

To please the family, I will have to marry a stranger

I have my periods now, cannot stand for long

I am going

I fail as a male.

You are more matured than me but never thought this to be an excuse..

I will not cry.

I will not be defeated.

It will be good to see you happy.

But I not the man you presume.

I can never, ever forget you.

I love you so much

Don’t make me sad

No.. I am a male and it is not my intention to make a female cry.

My parents have advised me that I should wipe the tears of a female.

You may go….forget what happened, the last year

go...

When there is a rift in love, even males will also cry.

But girls will pray that her lover does not appear anywhere after the marriage.

Go and live your life happily…

Love is relenting and not capturing…

Go… live well

You have become so very lean.

You should have put on a little bit of weight after delivery.

That is what you think.

Looking after these two is not easy

After breast feeding period is over,

Don’t stop breast feedng. Let it go on as usual

-Father….

-Father….

My son… You have also gone down.Why?

Is she not giving you enough food?

Look at yourself?

Go change your uniform.

School is over by 4.00 pm, where did you go after that?

I went to the dance class.

16 year old girl was kidnapped and raped.

Dear….there is only rape going around here.

It is only God’s gift that I got two boys.

I don’t have to worry about it.

Come…(to the boy)

Mother says that you are not eating well

You are a male…you got to eat well.

Never be afraid.

Being afraid will not help you in reaching your goal.

Study when you have to study and play when you have to.

It is only for your welfare that I have gone abroad

If you do not eat food properly,

do you think we will not be worried.

Dear (Calling out to the wife) get me the brush…

I am leaving.

After classes, the dance master has asked to go over

dear….please drink the water…

the neighbour’s cat has now crept in to our bedroom and broke the glass…..

oh!

oh!

So you have left me!!!

ah…the glass was not broken by the cat, after all……

okay go….

go….dear

No wonder ,you wanted to see the old house

Tomorrow, many will come to see you

You should not lie down like this - you should be beautiful (sobbing)

Your eyes have become dark

Maybe because you drove

You knew that you would go

what will I do ,now?

I do not know what to do….

my legs are trembling, my dear..

I am now alone…..

Pangode..via Spencer Junction.

Now you understand what happens if the vehicle breaks down…

You are late in getting out….

I will get down at the bank.

Give food to our daughter at the day care and then, go home.

The teacher does not keep proper time for our son’s dance classes.

Check that up.

Okay, I am getting down here. Try to do as I say.

Don’t make me mad

I see that you have taken off your beard again.

Ah…come in to my house…

come in to my house.

Come…sit down

I need your help in purchasing things from the city.

He calls me from the Gulf and asks me to purchase.

How can I go out on my own?

Where is your son?

He is sleeping.

It was his third birthday, yesterday.

It has been one year since he had gone. I am fed up

Can’t you go and study further

Tourism

I like the course

I enjoy visiting places .

Have you been to Kochi?

I have not been there, though, it is so near?

Are you feeling happy?

Yes.But I am afraid

Why? I am there with you

I wanted to spit on her face as a male; but she is a female

The emphasis given on whatever the female say is truth under law

, as a male I have to suppress my anguish and anger with words

Let her live.

It is not that I failed as a male but the thought by the public, that

that she had become victorious, with the exception of that female.

Looking back, the belief that a man like me has won ultimately,

by those who understand, are the true males and females

Yes. Why are you here?

He would have come home

There is a function in the bank, today

My husband wants my son to accompany me.

Otherwise he will be angry.

I hope you understand

Okay. You can go

You will have to come tomorrow to cover up your absence..

Since I am a male, I have been advised to be courageous.

We have seen, Spiderman, Superman and I am also a male.

See the knife..huh…that is sufficient.

This is the reason I am going

hey..

I am responsible for sending him over there,

I should be punished for that..

Brother, are you not a male.

Could you not return the blow?

Males do not cry like this.

Your brother is a male, my dear.

Your brother is a male,

Everyone things that being a male, I can return the blows.

Could I not use the knife?

There is a saying- kill and eat it..

Anything can be done but there are repercussions.

I need support and I should not have a family.

They can do anything

But If I had done any bodily harm,

will the police not come and take me to prison?

Where will I find the ring that I had not stolen?

If I am not here, what will be your situation?

I never thought about the repercussions.

I was only worried about the blows you got.

Both men and women are adamant.

If he shows it at the precise moment, he becomes a male

We have to think of the repercussions at least 10 times

about our family before we enter the fray.

It is easy to create problems but it is not easy to leave.

We should be careful when we besmirch a lady and that is when a male calls himself a male.

This is because a male respects the female chastity.

She was troubled and anxious and that is why she said it.

Now, go and sleep.

I have got one more job to do before I sleep

Brother, what are you doing?

It is your means of livelihood

This…. I do not need this as my livelihood

I have had enough.

No more making up anymore.

Whatever I had learnt is of no use

Everyone is looking for a fair, glamorous and well dressed make up man.

When they see a dark, fat make up man, the revulsion and mockery you see in them is enough.

I cannot stand this any more

Every trade has its own dignity….

but for the dark,if the rules differ…. that is enough.

Why did you ask me to come?

I don’t have anything to say.

My marriage has been fixed

I know.I can’t simply stand the sorrow

Please give me one chance

People are noticing.

Your crying looks like a cliche.

Please do not create a scene

You are now committed. You have a life now.

I am a buffoon now.

Okay. I wanted to see you one last time and ask for one chance.

some individuals are like that; their memories linger on though we try to forget them

I will not make it a cliche, like what you said.

I am teary eyed but will not spill any tears but they are a reminder of my sincerity.

that is what you don’t have

I have told everyone that my brother is a good make up man.

That is enough for me.

SMC is holding a visual dance media competition and its annual day on the 27th of this month.

I have to create something special to get selected.

I want to be there

you said that you are ready for that

Yes I am going to change the concept.

I have a friend who is a boy.

This concept includes two girls only and known as “Pau” dance.

My friend should be made up as a girl and no one should find that out.

Hai…brother

This is my concept

This is my concept

This “Pau” concept is a part of the Sanjeyra dance tradition in Benares.

The art form is only performed by girls

I repose in the faith that it can be crafted by you

- a Mohini

It can be done.

Art has got no colour, but colour has embedded art.

I assure you that these colours can be effectively placed on your face,.

If people have confidence in my art and not on my colour,

I am sure that I can be an artist.

Dear…is it tea or coffee…

As a male and immersed in anguish,I am revealing the truth

My wife was the joy of my life since she came

I lived happily for 13 years.

He loved me

Gave me 2 children.

Some issues seperated us

My family members instigated me for a divorce.

I had untruths added in the divorce documents

I am sorry for the domestic violence that you filed in the court.

I had been jailed for 4 months and am on bail.

I have to present my self in court, once a month.

I know only to respect my bed mate and not to hate

I am sorry.

You are a female and I, a male bow my head before you

When questioned who my hero is,

I cannot point my finger at my father as say he is the hero

Because my father failed

I will cry

Whether I am happy or sad, crying is not a crime, as stated by my father

You are my son and I am your father- both are males

Let not the society rules not hinder you

Do not laugh,This is a court.

Don’t I have the right to cry or laugh.

What my wife presented in court was all lies.

What my wife presented in court was all lies.

Should I be punished for the lies because I am a male.

I bow my head before the court

I have been brought up in a poor family.

You brought me up with love.

You taught me goodness but how can I give you happiness

I conclude this chapter without completing the full circle of a man’s life

The sea is calm and peaceful now.

She is sleeping and awaits sunrise, tomorrow.

She is sleeping and awaits sunrise, tomorrow.

Males are like that,son

They consume all problems and not knowing to whom it should be addressed , they keep silent.

If you open your mouth and spell out the problems, you will be questioned as to why you need a moustache.

The mind does not have a moustache.

I am not sleeping.

I am not ready to leave the love I have.

There will always someone waiting for me.

True. You did not plan to end your life.

If you had planned otherwise, the deed would end up in a small column in the newspaper.

Why don’t those people who contemplate suicide think of this wonderful world as a place to be lived in.

Those stupid idiots

shame…shame.

We cannot solve the problems with the kind of thinking.

Push your souls

because no one else can do it for you
