I AM PRAKASHAN

This globe was used by Alangattu Achuthan in his classroom.

He has since passed away.

His son, Prakashan, uses it now

to look at the maps of the countries that he intends on hopefully visiting.

Poland. Poland.

That's enough for today.

I'll let you know when new countries are discovered.

Prakashan wanted to become a doctor, but ended up being a nurse.

Once he cleared his exams, he felt the job wasn't dignified enough.

You don't even pick a coconut from the tree when I ask you.

I didn't obtain a degree to climb up coconut trees.

That guy, Sathishan, who picks coconuts every month is an M.A. graduate, right?

His father was also a coconut picker.

My father was a school teacher. That's the difference.

She may be my mother, but she's so uncultured.

Every person in that house, except Prakashan,

is gainfully employed some way or the other.

His sister-in-law sews and his mother helps her.

His older brother, Pradeepan, runs a grocery store.

But Prakashan doesn't bother to ever lend a hand.

Prakashan has an older sister too. Usha.

Usha's husband, Vasanthan, was a driver in Dubai.

While on his way back home,

Vasanthan bought a lottery ticket from a duty-free store at Dubai airport.

He won a little over 60 million rupees.

Since then, he has been desperately trying to convince everyone

that he's a millionaire.

Prakashan also possesses a specific Malayali trait

found in abundance all over Kerala.

Sit here! Sit here!

Enough! Enough!

Brother, I need to catch the train to Chennai after lunch.

This is the youngest. The older one is in Ernakulam.

Okay.

-Sethu. -Yes.

They're a renowned family. What's the point?

-The food's no good. -No, it was fine.

It's because you haven't had a good feast.

Did the sambar have all the vegetables? The side dish smelled smoky.

And the dessert wasn't sweet enough.

See you next week at Raghavan's daughter's wedding.

At times, he considered joining a political party.

Corruption was his goal.

If he succeeds in spewing false opinions, he could become an MLA or a minister?

Madhav!

-What is it, Prakashan? -Come.

I want to serve the people. I have decided to join your party.

That's a good decision.

But most of the party workers here serve the people without regular jobs.

We don't have enough to fund their expenses.

Maybe some other time.

Since he felt the name "Prakashan" was old-fashioned,

he had it changed recently.

And got this published in the Gazette as P. R. Akash.

Hey! Where can I find Palakkavu Mathachan's house?

-Mathachan? -I'll tell him.

The tall, gray-haired guy with a thick mustache?

-He owns a fertilizer plant in town? -Yes.

We know him.

You need to go back half a mile.

You'll see an intersection with a flag post. Turn right, there.

And then you go about 2 miles, right?

There's a paddy field with a Shiva temple across from it.

The house is right there. Just ask someone.

-Okay. Thanks. -Don't miss that intersection.

Sure, I won't.

Dude, Mathachan's house is right around that corner.

They have a big, fancy car. Let them go for a ride.

Fools!

This trip is to meet a potential bride.

Prakashan's friend, Bahuleyan, who works in Qatar,

asked him to come along...

without realizing what that meant.

Prakashan was quite shocked to see his friend's potential bride's house.

He left for Qatar as an accountant.

Within two years, his Arab boss made him the manager of the company.

Where did you study?

I studied engineering in Coimbatore, and went to school here.
