'Hide and seek'

- Have you got my stuff ready? - Sure...long back

2 snake gourds Some curry leaves

Is it enough?

1/2 kilo Rs 10

Take this money

Don't you want the balance?

(raised voices of vendors)

- Howmuch is this? - Rs 350

- Must grind some more - Can't we just grind it in a mixie?

Girl, curry tastes better when spices are ground on stone the traditional way

Ask your mother She'll vouch for it

I've heard spicy tales of how you and mother 'cooked' together

- What? - Nothing

What?

There's neither rice nor vegetables here

Will you come home early today?

I'm driving I'll call you back later

Benny annamstop Benny anna

Benny anna What's up?

Did you stop my auto just to enquire about me?

Alavi'kka appears to be out of town I had gone there

There's a courier for him

He must have stepped out to buy some river fish

Courier?

Leave it in my auto I'll deliver it

- But it needs his signature -I can sign, man

- Isn't that good enough? - Sure

Give it to me

Why are you stinking like this from every pore?

Don't forget Or I'll lose my job

Alcohol improves memory power

- Haven't you heard that? -Sure, I have

This one also

Leave it inside the auto

Heard they were having a party, a get-together or some such thing

So you are in for a blast today, eh?

Me having a blast? I'm just a gone case

- Hey! I need to see you later -Sure, we can meet up

MBRHDRG

Where the heck were you, man?

I had to buy all that you needed, right?

This isn't a Benz car Lend me a hand, dude

You have to pay extra for porter service

You and your lousy English!

You are eating your heart out for some booze today?

Later this booze will eat out your heart for good!

Alavi'kka?

I'll be back this evening

If you can manage, I want just 1 peg

Forget that dream

Siddhanh has arranged this get-together after so many years

Don't you dare hang around here

That isn't the point Ages since I had foreign liquor

Just a peg of Scotland

Siddhu's house...?

Please help me bundle myself in?

Park this car out of the way?

- Is he at home? - He'll be back soon

- Dude...? Can you buy me a bottle? - Dry day today, sir

'Moonshine' will do

You know... 'battery water'? That will do

Let me try, sir

Hey! My sandals Must be left outside

Can I get you something to drink?

What's your name?

MBRHDRG

'On the way I met my aunt at our ancestral house'

'One chap who claims he's your friend has landed'

'Reeking of booze Swaying on his feet'

Get up

It's been so long Where were you all these days?

I'm right here Where else will I be?

My wife Revathi

Raghu, you reached early, rig ht?

Look at you!

You are still the same smart guy, eh?

Pan of my job

Must be playing around behind her back, eh?

Why else do you glam-up like this?

Manu!

What are you doing?!

Com e, sit here

I'll be right back Let me get them settled in

Look at the state he's in. ls Annie really a fashion designer?

Why do you even tolerate him I wonder

- What are you doing? - Dad! Give it to me

It's not meant for games I have work to do

I leveled 72 points Give it to me

Dad

Okay, take it

- Is she also coming? -Who?

Your...once upon a time heroine

You mean Radhika? She's somewhere in America

Unpack this for me, please

MBRHDRG

- What's your name? - Manu

- Which grade? -4th

- You know me? -Yes

- Who am I? - Daddy's friend, right?

What's your name, uncle?

Rag huram

What do you do? No job

Ask dad He'll get you a good job

I will Your house looks good

Nice home

Manu

Go in and play, okay?

Be careful with that It's got important files

Just a minute

A couple of important stuff to attend to

You are like those prosperous chaps...

...with a home by the riverside who fish as a fashion statement

Where is your 'bait'?

Hey! No

I'll be done in a minute

Give it back, man

Just a minute

Now tell me

Where is your mobile?

In the toilet

I've been trying to reach you whole of last year

And it's always switched off Where did you lose it?

- I dropped it into the closet -What?

- Put it into the toilet - Toilet?

Yes, it would have gone deep into the earth

And disappeared by now

You just haven't changed one bit

I did it deliberately

Ad-agencies hire talented people for their creative department

And then ask them to create utter nonsense

Why do you agree to write all that nonsense?

You are capable of earning in millions

Just focus on that

Don't go back to your old ways

So nowl must earn millions

What else?

Car, house and wife, don't excite me.

And go in search of myself

At least that way I don't lose myself

Stop all this existentialism stuff

This was your problem all along in life

lam going in search of myself

What else? Where is Annie?

Rafique says you are always stone drunk

He says that's why she hardly comes home

You've been fiddling with it for a while

Is it an extra marital...?

I already have issues Be quiet, please!

She will be mad at me

Annie...!

I'll tell you when the time comes

About what?

- Can't get along -Whaaat?

- Not working out -What?

- Not compatible -Who?

Your stupid head!

Come with me We'll talk

Get up Let's talk

Let's have a drink

That gives you a pep, eh?

Look at that sudden spun of energy

The way you came in I thought you'll just sleep through the night

That was just to fool that old man

Where is the ash-tray?

No need for ash tray.

Tell me, what's the problem?

- No problem at all - Do you know?

I've watched you and Annie so often green with envy

Behind the commerce block under the gulmohar tree

Didn't you write a script...a story? Wanting hero Mohanlal to act?

Didn't you write impressive dialogs?

Annie and me under the gulmohar tree...?

If Lal had done that role he would be out of films now

Now there is neither the gulmohar nor the rain

There never was anything that connected us then

Even back then, we used to be at loggerheads

Radhika was the one who sorted out your squabbles

Mention her name and look at the rapid blood circulation!

Rad hika

In Mumbai I have seen all the top models you can find

But no one can hold a candle to her

Did you know?

One day in 1997 just after the summer holidays

I was getting off a bus at our college bus stop

I just stepped out and a sudden shower of rain from nowhere

As I look at the opposite road I see her walk towards me

- Radhika -And the way she looked

With rain drops clinging to her hair

And streaming down her face

Clara

It trickled down as I watched stunned

By stunned I mean I was lost in that moment

I just stood staring as she walked towards me

When I regained consciousness

After a long time, I simply ran to that-

Remember that old man's small eatery?

I ran, got an old umbrella from him and went back

I drew her under the umbrella

Just she and I under the umbrella with the rain lashing around us

In that rain, she and I under the umbrella

Do you know jasmine flowers?

She had jasmine on her hair

Fragrance from that jasmine The smell of rain

And fresh moist earth Her special scent

It will be ecstatic

I'm reminded of a poem by Ayyappa Panniker

Kurukkuthi mulla [Jasmine flowers]

Youth belongs to me whispered the flower

Jasmine close to the bosom are buds clasped to blossom

Pronounced 'njha' Jha, dha or whatever

My neighbor's surname sounds like that

He committed suicide Neck deep in loans

How you say it is no big deal

Come on Continue your Radhika story

And when I got off the bus- What's your wife's name?

That was a nasty mood killer, right?

What's the joke?

He was talking about his fans

Aa-radhika He meant fans!

Tea?

Shall we mix it in this? No! It will curdle

I'll tell you later

Does she know? Shall I tell her?

Come

Alavi'kka! Just get me an ashtray and my phone

How long have you been living here?

No, dude I come once in a while

Listen What's your issue with Annie?

Sit here and tell me

No issue

Leave it there

She isn't adjusting with your life style?

Is that the issue?

Or is it because you don't have kids?

How can being childless be a hassle?

Then what?

She deserves a better life

That's it

Rafique Ask him to come in

Hey'. Bucket

You fatso!

Return my 150 bucks

Mr Poet!

Here Let's begin auspiciously

Hey no! Meet Suhra

Suhra Rafique

Isn't he Rafique? Then why the emphasis?

Meet my greatest wealth Hannah

Hannah?

He is Rafique She's Suhra

Hey! She's Suhra Rafique

I'm meeting Suhra for the 1st time

That isn't surprising?! Keeps me like a caged bird

Isn't Annie coming?

She will

Hey! Radhi...

All of you have changed so much

Suhra come, we'll sit inside

I knowyou You write songs, right?

Not songs Poems

What's the difference! Do you booze so you can write?

I write to earn booze

Drink within limits Don't ruin your health

tiff

Is this how you talk to someone you just met?

Drunkards deserve... ...only such words

- Is he married? - Love marriage

Was she blind?!

Do you have any idea who he is??

He's not an ordinary contractor like your father

He holds a top post in an advertisement agency

Earns 150 million per annum

This unkempt fellow who reeks of alcohol?!

Your acid tongue is the reason I don't take you out anywhere

I know that only too well

You had no option this time, right? Just to show your friends I exist

Only 2 p995

If you drink more I'll tell my father

What the...!

Rafiquem!

What was all that for?!

Life is such a drag these days

Earlier Suhra used to wait up till I came back from hospital at night

After some time it was the maid

Nowadays she also is fast asleep

I eat whatever I can find and hit the sack

Same story Last 5 years

What about other 'activities'?

How long will you 'plough' your own 'field'?!

It is fun to trespass in someone else's field

Generally Malayali's start losing their prowess by 40

This lag begins when a man is 35 years

In my opinion the Kerala Govt should bring a rule

After 5 years of marriage, a wife must be declared as a man's sister

Then she should get married to someone else

Why do you smoke like a steam engine?

Rejuvenating, no? Then pass it to me also

Sidhu This is fantastic

I vote for this

Is it?

Just a minute

You've really changed a lot

Listen to him speak English!

What is he up to?

Come

tiff

I can prescribe tablets for blood pressure

I already gulp them like a 3 course meal

Get me my drink

Move that away

It's unnerving how stress piles up

College was such fun, flirting, rowdyism, playing peeping Tom

What a blast it was!

She occupied all my thoughts Radhika

Remember our library?

The pages of old books had a peculiar smell

My mind is full of that

He used to bring beef with Chinese potatoes

Wow! Delicious

I often went hungry in hostel

To eat the beef-potato he brought

After I became a doctor people asked me why I was so fat

Guys, from the day I got married I became a glutton with a capital G

I compensated for all those days of starvation

But I'd always wanted...

...a contented family life I often dreamed of it

But when I never got the girl I loved

I just gave uP

You loved a girl? Who is that now?

Who was it?

If you had just told us we would have got her for you

Sure

That was just a comedy

Love? Love is a joke? Love is not a comedy

It's an emotion that stealthily creeps into your nerves

Shut up!

What?

Cynical about love

What about you and Annie?

You just said something about smell, pages, library

You guys simply sizzled

Blunders born out of immaturity

It's because you don't realize the value of what you've got

When I lost the one I loved I just sold my soul

lam now a slave to Suhara's father

If he asked me to go on my bended knees...

...I'll happily crawl to him

You think I am being funny?

He's absolutely nasty

He takes off to Bangalore every now and then

But before that a session of massages at Kotakkal

That pig ought to be shot!

Old man! His worn out pans may need a little massage

My fate is sealed I'll be back

You want to shoot my father, right?

When your house was confiscated legally...

...you wanted my father as well as his money

Shall I call him now?

Drunk and deriding my father I will call him now

That woman will break this house into two

Mind your own business, will you?

Now that you are stable you want to shoot my dad

Don't you have any shame?

He is getting abused

I'll stop with this now Your friends may overhear

I told you not to drink more than 2 pegs

Getting drunk and finding fault with my dad

When we get back you'll get it from me!

Tiff

Son, be careful and don't lose it

It's an expensive gadget

Don't worry, sonny Your dad has plenty of money

What's up? What is this, dude?

Why don't you try something you are good at?

Uncle, are there any fishes in this river?

Of course

- Crocodiles too? - One is sitting inside the house

Did you bring it here? The crocodile brought me here

You just wait I'll tell all this verbatim to my dad

Alavi'kka, need any help? I'll call if I want help

Women should be more docile and gentle

Just mind your own business

I employ only women in my kitchen

My father won't allow men

This house generally is left locked

Sidhu comes once in a while and stays here alone

I've come here Maybe just once

Not a good decision

Sell this house and deposit the money in the bank

That is more profitable

Sohra, you are so business minded

I belong to Maliakkal family My family is full of traders

My father deals in real estate

The biggest building in Kozhikode belongs to him

Haven't you heard of Shalimar buildings?

Yes...Shalimar

I have, yes

- Alavi'kka? - Coming

Yes, Narayan'etta I am here

Will you come? Yes, sure I'm here Yes, sure I'm here

Dude, remember our Narayan'etta?

Narayan who made those yummy 'unniappams'?

He'll be here in half an hour

Narayan rescued him once

Rescued him? What is that story?

Don't you know? Farewell day

After college hours he and Chacko went to the ladies' hostel

- To meet Radhika? - To meet Radhika

Fix one for me, dude

Alavi'kka, you can go in now

Chicken is roasting now, bro

Enough That will do

Okay! go

- Listen to this - insensitive idiot!

We were fully sloshed when we jumped over the wall

We sawa guy sliding down from the 2nd floor window

None other than 'hunter' Xavier Father Xavier?

Father Xavier

Sidhu just pushed us away and went towards Radhika's room

Remember that lotus pond?

He sat there and looking up at Radhika's room and sang

What was that song, dude?

"Sumangali, do you rememb-"

Yes, that's the song

Before he could finish his song that guy looking like Seen Connery

- Sean Connery - That Connery guy came and caught us

Finally Chacko got him a full bottle of rum and squared it up

What a pity! Why didn't I hear of this?

If we told you, then Annie will also know

And then Radhika will also know So we hushed it up

You were not destined, dude Some other lucky guy got her

A lover boy whose love remained untold

Will Narayanan bring the 'unni appams'?

He will

That reminds me

You wrote a poem on these steamed fritters, remember?

Want to see?

Bring it Let's see

I'll be right back

I have been watching you ever since we came here

The very name 'Radhika' makes your adrenalin rush

Everyone who walks into your life will leave

I'll be the only one to stick on with you

- Who else is coming? - Our Annie

- Move aside Manu, my dear - Manu, come here

tiff

- There comes your 'unni appam' - Show it to me

Let me see if it tastes as good as it once did

Leave it

Did you think I saved this for your blessed fritters poem?

Then why?

Really want to know?

Rad hika

Did she write stories too? I never knew

You had eyes only for Annie

Both of them will write stuff no one could ever decipher

By evening they will begin to fight

Who will fritter away time writing poems on fritters?!

Don't make it a big issue

Read this Read it

MBRHDRG

Instead of introducing me as his neighbor casually

Couldn't he have said I was his best friend?

I was slig hted A guest insulted

I no longer wanted to linger there

I was in a hurry I turned and walked away

While my heart murmured

I should've never come

Never come when not welcome

Words on paper hurt like needles in my heart

It was that hurt which took me closer to her

Whenever I come here I sit and read that story

Just for the wonderful world she creates with her words

To be immersed in it is sheer bliss!

Some rascal run Creative Associates

Should make them read this to know how refined Malayalam is

Does Annie know you resigned?

Why should she when we are about to separate?

What did you say? I want to live in total freedom

Hence this separation

But if you talk it over won't she understand?

Why do you want to- What's left to talk?

She should have married a good Christian, a rubber estate owner

Why should she ruin her life being with me?

All this is because of your dirty behavior

- How is she responsible? - So what is your problem?

What's my problem?

Do you know Xavier and I got beaten up for your sake?

You can take the blows

But I won't let you pan ways with her

- Who wants your permission? - Do you know?

She's a simple soul I liked her very much

I even wrote her a letter without him knowing

This vagabond charmed her and took her away from me

Now he wants to-

You son of a-

You want to ditch her, right?

- Annie? -What is all this, Sidhu?

He is just showing off like old times after drinks

Showing his affection like old times

Is this how you show affection?

Stinks like hell

- How many rounds over? - We've just begun

- Why are you covered in dust? - That was just...nothing

Revathi, meet Annie

- Had a comfonablejourney? -Yes

- Meet Suhra - Rafique's wife

I know you

The one who fell in love and got married

Whatever, love or otherwise Don't bug us now

Annie, you've been travelling Go in and relax

Go in

Did you know, Sidhu?

It's been a year since he and I spoke

He doesn't even have a phone Do you know what he's doing?

It's true We'll set it rig ht

You go relax for some time It will all be fine

MBRHDRG

If Chacko and Radhika were here, this would have been complete

Radhika must be in California Wonder where Chacko is?

Where in California?

She must be leading a happy life there

Shall I tell you something that will make you happy?

What , Annie?

I've resigned my job at Mumbai

That's the end of Raghu's lonely life

Nowl'll be with him wherever he is

Also I am giving him a free rein only for today

But from tomorrow his booze and cigarettes will be rationed

Very good

Otherwise his insides will rot to pieces

Hey! Does this get together mean only booze and gossip?

Sidhu, sing a song

Add some life into this party No other work!

Song?

Sidhu will sing?

He was the star singer of our college

Go ahead Sing, dude

His golden voice

An entire campus used to get intoxicated hearing his voice

Look at him fiddling with that key pad?

His fingers flew 10 times faster over his guitar

You've been married so long Don't you know this?

Haven't you told her?

My head is full of debit, credit and consignments

Sing in this chaos, huh?

No other work!

We have no better work now

Tonight we are students back to our campus days

Retarded fellows with varied stubbles

Sing Sing, dude

Sing, man

Do you know who wrote this song?

Who?

Our own favorite poet

Shall I?

Tiff

"In these eyes can you see sweet love's pain poignantly?"

"In these lines can you listen a rhythm of yearning in between?

"Far away, a lonely moon lit sky merging into a woeful song at night emerging"

MBRHDRG

"On this earth, in my heart's alcove rain showered fresh drops from above"

"Touch of first love tinkling like bangles softly jingling"

"Memories brought me a melody filled with words of love in harmony"

"Far away, a lonely moon lit sky merging into a woeful song at night emerging"

"Without any rhythm converging in a languid feeling submerging"

MBRHDRG

Hannah, come here

tiff

"Blooming of youth is an awakening of senses buried within yearning"

"New raptures unrevealed Coven and concealed"

"Silent sensations bloom glad into a precious love ballad"

"Far away, a lonely moon lit sky merging into a woeful song at night emerging"

"Without any rhythm forging in a languid feeling submerging"

"As she faded away into an abyss Not knowing why this went amiss"

"In these eyes can you see sweet love's pain soulfully?"

MBRHDRG

Wasn't this the song that won you the inter-zonal 1st prize?

The old intensity still lingers

Thoughts of a special person got him the 1st place that day

Sidhu had a silent love when he was in college

Radhika Isn't it? I know

He has told me about her

Kaput:

tiff

What is it?

Did you lose interest in music only after you married me?

I am no Yesudas to choose it as my career

I sang because they asked me

That's all

I really don't know if Radhika was in your thoughts

But you sang beautifully

None of them ever knew thatl once liked Radhika

These guys, Rag hu, Rafique liked her too

I liked her a little bit more

That's all it was

Look, we are meeting after 14 years

The gap is 14 long years

Spare me for this one day

Is that too much to ask?

I am really stressed out Okay?

Ease up

If my husband had said this I wouldn't have taken it so lightly

If you're lenient with your men they will dance on your head

My dear Suhra

Don't comment and make it worse

Sidhu was the 5th guy who 'saw' me as a bride

Some of the men before him had liked me and so did I

But it was Sidhu I finally married

One day my father told me a groom was coming to 'see' me

It was only then I realized I was 'ready' to get married

Father told me a lot about the prospective bridegroom

That he was a good man, very rich with a big house

I went through the ritual of meeting the boy, talked to him, serving tea

After they left I started dreaming

About my honeymoon, my house, the kids I would have

Actually don't we all go through this dream-phase?

But next day the marriage mediator said the groom's family had rejected me

Why?

Because the groom's aunt didn't find a western closet in the bathroom

So?

I swear I was dumped

Many more proposals petered out for vague reasons

Rafique's proposal was the last one in the list

I shouldn't have agreed to a man with a 24x7job

If he had been a farmer, I would at least see him daily

Nowadays I must also fix an appointment to see him

I have always wondered

Why don't they have anything to discuss with us?

When they meet friends they talk nineteen to a dozen

At home, they clutch the TV remote and sit sulking, staring at the screen

We are all almost sailing in the same boat

And those who look a picture of contentment...

...lead the most pathetic lives

Wonder why we marry 1 particular guy among 100 others in the world

Marriage in our society is based on matching financial and social status

No one bothers whether our thoughts or feelings match

We bear their kids and live with the belief..

...we are the sole love of their life

We are left with nothing else to do

No man can be trusted when he goes past 35

They all go in search of other nests to roost

There used to be a nurse and a Dr Nadiya at Rafique's hospital

God! I was most worried till that doctor got married

I got my father to dismiss that nurse from there

What are you saying, Suhra? It is like that

Can't trust them at all

ls Radhika married?

May be

She's in America, right?

Must have got married at least a couple of times, no?

- I don't know - Is she pretty?

I have seen her in their college albums

Frankly she is really beautiful

She was the dream girl of our college

Was she?

What was it between Sid hu and Rad hika?

My dear Revathi Just an infatuation

if he meets her now, he'll realize, he's gotten over all that

She would have become a fatso by now in USA

Did my hubby have a crush on someone in college?

Oh! No

Why are you decked in gold like this, Suhra?

If I were you, I'd have sold the lot and gone for a world tour

Allah! Sell gold to go on a tour?!

If all the gold of women in Kerala are sold...

3 generations can easily eat and live without working

My gold need not be used to feed people

MBRHDRG

If I had a hammer in hand all this could have been bashed up

Ah! Yes The box

'Let's have 1 more'

'Is it the first time for you?'

'I was wondering how he fell into the pool'

'Sit up and drink' 'You're asking for trouble'

Dude, ask him not to go in for a separation

'Leave it'

'We only have one life, bro'

'Rafique, get up'

'Only friends can advise him' 'I have to talk to you'

'You don't know how to be diplomatic'

'I have seen how you treat Suhra'

'You can't step into his space'

- Sir? - There you are!

- Did you get? -Yes, sir

Today is a dry day

I finally got it from a military chap

Here's the balance

I don't want I never accept tips

I'll go?

Do you want a peg?

Can I have that one?

Sure

One more?

Thank you, sir

Can I leave?

Hey!

What's your name?

Name...? I must leave

Benny!

You son of a mongrel! Sidhu! Come quickly Look...Benny is here

Benny?

Get up

Benny? Why this scruffy look?

Rafique?! Benny is here Benny Chacko

Benny! Dude, watch out Pool

Fully fuddled!

Did you have to dig a pond in the middle of your garden?

Idiot! That's not a pond It's a pool

Get up

tiff

Howdid you guys recognize me?

When I look at the mirror, even I don't recognize myself

How did you know it was me?

Do you know how hard I tried tracing you?

Where were you?

Tried to trace me?

You never even bothered to come for my wedding

You got married?

Was it after marriage your life turned haywire?

I got married too

And that too to a TV actress

Remember the TV serial 'She was a goddess'

I married that goddess Sophia Menon

And...?

And...l don't intend to narrate my sob story for you to savor

If she had asked I would have told

Radhika! She was the only one who came for my wedding

Radhika came for your wedding? Sure, she did

All the way from Paris

She waited for a long time thinking you guys would come too

Dude, it was the day Revathi's uncle died

So I couldn't come

What a day he picked to conk off

00!

I tried calling him But never got through

My house was legally confiscated then

How can I come in when I was so 'happy'?!

So Benny, what do you do now?

I drive an auto rickshaw

- Auto rickshaw? - Yes

Do you guys often get together like this?

This is the 1st time, dude Although Sidhu and I often 'chat'

Xavier is not in whatsApp or FB

He needs permission from the Vatican for that

That's good

Or a single post will be enough for all sins to pile up on him

Who?! You mean our 'hunter' Xavier?

Is he a priest? My God!

Vicar of an entire Parish

Our Old Vicar

All he needed to do was look at a girl and she will conceive!

I was the one who helped his maid abort her baby!

Be quiet

Remember Mary Varghese?

You mean our 'disaster lady'?

Her love and passion drove him to distraction

She then eloped with someone else

Unable to bear his sorrow he chose the path of the Lord

'Dukhkham' You pronounce it as 'Kha'

Are you a Malayalam teacher? I'll kick you!

You're at it from the time I came

- Didn't you get me? -I didn't

You...!

This is like being bitten by a viper

Expensive stuff usually is

Let's go

Let's move from vices to virtues and eat

You mean what they feed horses?

Horses or even donkeys Come

You've all changed so much You're almost bald now

Who is this new entrant?

Suhra, he's Benny, our classmate

We were together

He is not at all what he looks like now

He is a 1st rank holder Science graduate Benny Chacko

Science graduate? What do you do?

I drive an auto

Science graduate driving an auto?

Why not? Won't the auto run?

My wife, dude

- Sit here - No, I'll sit here

This is more comfortable Where do you live, Benny?

Here, quite nearby

Allah! This is the first time I'm seeing a woman drink

if my father ever sees-

Dam n the 'father' word!

Do you know for how long I've put up with this 'father'?

Just stop it, will you, Suhra?!

Come back home I'll deal with you then

You are to blame for all this

You and your blasted poems that made me lose her forever

Otherwise I would have married her

Go ahead and take her now

Don't tempt me now, okay? Behave yourself

High time you stopped What the heck?!

My dear Rafique I did not fall in love with his poems

If that was the case, I'd have fallen for poet Chullikkad

I fell in love with Raghu the person

I was just...making fun

Just a minute

One minute I'll be back

Hey Sidhu...go

MBRHDRG

It's been so long since we were together like this?

Annie?

I want to...tell you something

That must be Xavier

Rafique? I think Xavier is here

Hey hunter!

Rad hika

What's up?

Tiff

Where is Sidhu?

Tiff

First time I'm seeing such implicit obedience

No, thanks

I'll happily have your share

Do I look like someone who does not drink?

What is it?

To the... ...red angel

Even if we were out of touch I get to know all the latest news

Our Xavier must be her informer

How was your journey?

Don't flirt

So boring

Talcum powder on your neck

Hey Mr Poet! Why are you looking like a gypsy?

- What's up? -Yes, I am

Annie looks just the same

Because she never had babies

You must share a bed to have babies!

These 2 live in different cities

It's better mad chaps like me don't father kids

- Can be free -Very true

Where is Xavier? Let me call him

- Beautiful saree, no? - Not so good

I haven't heard you compliment my red saree!

This isn't the same red, Suhra

Not able to reach him

He must be after some woman

Dark women is his weakness

Surya, Ranjini, Bhanupriya

Why not? Shouldn't dark people fall in love?

Of course they can But not priests of a church

Frankly I envy him a lot

No worries or tensions

Listen to women confessing their sins and float in a Heaven of his own

What news of Malayalees in the land of Obama?

Less said the better

They are trying to build another Kerala in the U.S

They watch live telecasts of all major festivals of Kerala

Their kids learn Bharathanatyam and even perform at the opera house

Onam is celebrated by every one That's true

It's the Malayalees living outside Kerala who celebrate Onam grandly

I was in Bombay for some time

Onam that's celebrated in August is extended till New year in mid April

Show me a Malayali who doesn't grab a chance to drink?

On Buddha's Enlightenment day too they will open a bottle or two

Rad hika?

Don't you practice Bharatanatyam these days

Nowl practice tango, salsa I even teach fitness oriented zumba

I have some students

Remember once in a students' fest What was the name?

Talent Time Remember you performed a dance?

Which one?

I know nothing about dance But that day you were too-

I was so impressed

You performed a flame formation

It was mind blowing

Thank you

She's gone Your wife just left

No wife will tolerate her husband going gaga over another woman

What will they think if you stay away like this?

Are you sick?

Head ache? Feeling feverish?

Mom, give me this charger Give it to me now

Will you go away? Go, Manu Don't pester me

Go

MBRHDRG

This guy is such a pest!

You'll fall sick if you get wet like this

Get out of that water now

Suhra, let him enjoy for one day

He'll make a habit of this

Want to tie me to your apron strings?

Just be quiet, Suhra

Do you also want to join us?

Give it to me

This is absolutely volatile

Then why don't you set it ablaze?!

- I too want it - Give it to me

This is not for you

I'll deal with this one!

Please come out of there You'll die of suffocation

lam just playing, Suhra

Playing? My foot!

I tried this once and blacked out

Today we'll also black out

What a beautiful shade of green

Now blow

Allah! Fire gorging drunkards!

I've been guzzling fire from the day I married you

Come on, man

That which burns must be sipped in waist deep water

No, thanks

Com e, sit here

Annie, both of you jump in

They tried Lo ng ag o

Aren't you a doctor? You want people to gossip? Come out now

What gossip?

Which 'people' are here to gossip?

Tiff

This is our wedding album

How is this saree?

This is my family My dad is a school teacher

Mom, housewife

Your wedding album?

Walk down memory lane and see how we looked then

You sit there

This is what happens if you drink too much

Beautiful album He puked all over it

He threw up, that's all One can't control that

Couldn't he have held back?

Com e, sit here

Love and vomit are alike

An overdose will make you gag, right?

Sit there

My friend, do you realize the worth in dollars...

...you threw up and wasted?

I'm so sorry

Hey!

- Look who's here - Sidhu!

Who's this? Narayan'etta?

Look who's here Rafique

Raghu my b°V

Rad hika

Who's this? Narayan'etta?

- Unniavr>a""

-unniavr>a""

Open it

Let this boost up your party

Take it

Delicious!

Remembering old bonds

A gift from old students to the 'unniappam' expert

I don't want it

- I can't handle it - Drink, Narayanan bro

Small one

No

Doesn't matter

Small drink Sit down

Tastes just like old times, Narayan'etta

Forgotten college days?

Have this

Where is your better half? What?

Where is the lady of the house?

Revathi

Go and call her

Your fritters are famous even in America

Do children these days like to eat 'unniappam'?

My daughter is a nurse in Australia

She feels it beneath her dignity to see me do this job

So I stay at home

What a pity!

Remember the poem you wrote about my 'unniappam'?

I had framed it and hung on a wall at home

She removed it

What a weird world!

Narayan'etta, can you tell me the recipe?

I'll go back and become a star in America

I will tell only you, my dear

- Shall I? - Of course

Rice powder

That too raw rice Must not be fried

But powdered finely

Then you must meltjaggery and bring it to a boil

After it bubbles and boils it has to be sieved

It will become like honey

You have to mix powdered rice and this jaggery into a fine batter

Then you must use a mature coconut cut into tiny bits

Add some finely chopped cashew and fry it in ghee

It will get fried and come nicely

Fry it to a golden hue with a heavenly flavor

To this add sesame seeds and mix the batter well

Then it must marinate for 4 hours

It takes 4 hours

Only then the 'marriage' of all the ingredients will stabilize

Deep fry in the 'appam' pan

'Unniappam' ready

But this is the ordinary recipe

I will tell you the secret of my special recipe

I add a few teaspoons of raisin juice to the boiling jaggery

That lends a flavor to the taste buds

And eases the tummy

Thank you, Narayan'etta

Cooking is an an by itself

You should not have given it up for your daughter

Hey! Look who's this?!

- Here! - Smart girl

Annie, I saw your photo in a magazine

Now let me leave It's quite late

I came all the way here only to see you enjoy my 'unniappams'

I feel so happy Now let me take leave

Have a couple of drinks

Not only that Have dinner with us

My daughter will call Checking up on me

Sol had better leave

Do you have to go?

I must Why displease anyone?

I will go eat at home

1 minute

- Put it back, Sidhu - Brother, this is-

Put it right back

I worked for a salary and served food to many children

I always felt you were children who belonged under one roof

I was not wrong! You are all still together

No one realizes the value of bonds like you do

I am very happy today

As if I was back in college

Let me leave?

Poor man!

He came and left so quickly

Where are you? I've been waiting for you

- I will be a little late -I thought you'll come early

You go to bed I'll call you later

Hey! Our Father Xavier

Ask him to bring some wine

- I will - Put it on speaker

Speak on

Praise be to the Lord

Leave that alone Where are you now?

Sorry, friends lam going back

Attend a Holy mass whichl can't avoid

If you don't come, we will perform your final mass

Radhika came all the way from America to see you

Are you a cross on the church wall?

I have to attend it

The Lord won't forgive me

Neither will we, you-

I will pray that only good befalls you

I'll have you in my prayers

He hung up on us

What does he do? Murder God with his jokes?

Will he come?

Let him be content with his Holy mass

Let us celebrate

As long as you don't make a mess of it

tiff

So...? Happy?

You mean my married life?

Happy married life

All those are dreams

They never materialize into reality

if they do then they cease to be dreams

That is absolute truth Shake hands on that

Years ago I met her on the road from the airport

Sophia

And?

Her car had broken down and she signaled my auto

I kept asking her questions all the way from the airport

But she never replied to a single question

When I dropped her at her place she gave me a 1000 rupee note

I refused and she threw it at my face

I said I did not have enough change

She said keep the change

I went back thrice to return the change to her

She is in Canada now

What was the need to go after a wife who left you?

Suhra, it wasn't you who went to her, right?

Why did you go?

Don't ask me why I have no answer

This is the problem with Malayali boys

They never come out in the open with their love

Sometimes I wonder why...

...not one of you fell in love with me

We thought why lose the friendship we shared

Right, dude?

Why were you so afraid?

Afraid of you?

If I had declared my love would you have accepted?

I can't even tolerate you

I bow to Annie

lfSidhu had... maybe life would have been different

Thank God I escaped

Hey! I was kidding

Shall I serve dinner?

Yes Let's have dinner

Manu, go wash your hand

Let's eat

Come, Sidhu

Dude, ask her to come

Sit down, dude Where are you going?

Bring those left over fritters

MBRHDRG

Alavi'kka, see if you can find that bottle

- Rafique? -Are you in Facebook?

Yes

You have time for Facebook But you can't talk to Suhra, right?

I've told you 100 times not to log into that site

Why don't just you eat, Suhra?

Call everyone for dinner

You can do that yourself

How can you mix up everything?

You don't talk Think you are a saint?!

Many a mickle makes a muckle

That's what it is

I want to pee

The loo is over there

I want to look at the stars and pee

He's totally tipsy

Is it a crime even to pee?

- What is this, Raghu? - Hey! What is it?

Nothing, he just wants to pee gazing at the stars

Haven't you seen people pee?

Come here if you haven't

He wants to divorce Annie

What?

Poor thing! She doesn't know as yet

MBRHDRG

Master chef Alavi'kka

Very true

Though he looks rough and tough

He's

Fish curry is yummy Where's he?

- Yummy fish curry - Thank you

After the lunch at Benny's wedding...

...I'm enjoying authentic Kerala cuisine only today

Why did you and Sophie split?

I'll tell only if Radhika asks me

Okay, then take it I asked

Okay, I'll tell you because Radhika asked

Also Malayalees love to hear someone else's sob story

I was sitting in a restaurant and enjoying a 'masala dosa'

I happened to see a TV show

Sophia was yelling at her mother-in-law in it

I tracked her down and proposed to her

I was a 1st rank holder with a lucrative job

Car, bungalow, the whole works

- No hitches whatsoever -And?

We had a grand wedding

But on our wedding night, just for fun and my misfortune...

...I asked her a question

Whether I was the 1st man in her life

What did she say?

She said only if the light was switched on...

...she will know for sure

Smart girl!

But wondering if she was kidding or being serious...

...I broke into cold sweat

From that day I became suspicious

I started watching her secretly

This led to anger, hatred, fights, arguments

And not silly fights Violent quarrels

One day she said something and I kicked her on her butt

Great!

Then things moved in lightning speed

She was admitted in hospital

And a complaint filed through the women's commission

The case drained me of all my assets

My house and car were in her name

She just walked off with both

I got fed up with life I started drinking

And became a total wreck

- Now I drive that auto - Hey you!

While our child and I are starving at home...

...you are busy buttering up these gentlemen and hogging

When I called Prasad I realized you were here

How much did you earn today?

Nothing, Renu

It probably went down the drain in some bar

Don't think we will starve to death

Hereafter I will drive the auto

Just 40 bucks after a whole day's work, eh?

Did you send the rest of the money to your ex-wife?

Come home I'll deal with you there

I won't-

- Who was that? - That is my kid

Renu, she's the mother

When I became a drunkard...

...my brother drove me out of my own home

Aimless and loitering I landed up in her house

She helped me buy the auto

She's a simple soul, dude Hunger drives her to this state

Hey! Call her back Ask her to eat here

Call her back

She's a simple woman I'll bring her back

Lost the mood to eat

Benny?

- What...? - Take this

Hey! No need This is not for you

- For Renu - Don't do this

If Renu refuses it I'll take it back

No, no need Keep it

No need, let it be

Listen to me Take it

MBRHDRG

He's lucky being an auto driver

At least he enjoys freedom

He is free to drive or decide not to drive

It's not money but freedom that is most important in life

I have to move

What you say is right

The minute you get money you lose your peace of mind

And marriage makes it worse

Why?

We lose peace of mind

Would you have been better off, if you had married her?

Suhra, you do know, don't you?

He was deeply in love with her

Isn't it true?

He has written her many love letters

But she didn't budge

Haven't you told her all this?

Suhra!

Did she get angry and walk out?

Don't blurt out stuff in such an insensitive way

I thought she knew

So I'm not the only one in my husband's heart

Annie occupies it too

I studied in St Josephs school

I was a bright student I even got distinction in 10th grade

Father said, girls need not study This was more than enough

I tried to tell him I want to study further

And become a doctor

Father promised to get me married to a doctor

I'm so unlucky

No one listened to my wish to stand on my own feet

Don't feel so unhappy Annie has no interest in Rafiq ue

When in college I too had my crushes

But I never told anyone

It isn't possible to see into another's heart, can we?

Just think about it Try to love Rafiq ue

Even today you are more your father's daughter

You must understand you are Rafique's wife also

Everything will be alright

I really thought you would've told Suhra

You should have After all she's your wife

Only now she knows who my parents are!

Imagine confiding to her?

Radhika Any problem?

I've somehow comforted her Now just be quiet

Won't you understand?

Pour me a drink

Sing a song, Sidhu

Sing, dude

I sang once That is enough

- I am okay with this -You sing

Sing Sidhu

It's been so long since I heard you sing

Revathi is so lucky Sidhu has such a sweet voice

Do you know how many girls lost sleep over it?

Which song do you want, Radhika?

Whichever Up to you

Ladies and gentleman Sidhu will now sing

I'll start?

- Such a great feeling -What...?

- The earth, these rivers, this night -And...?

And you

"Such a lovely feeling too"

"This world, these rivers and this night with you"

"We are so close to each other Moon and stars are far out there"

"But why do they look unreal to me?"

"These moon and stars really?"

"While I feel the truth actually in all these around me"

"The earth, these rivers, the night..."

tiff

What is the problem now?

I want to know right now Who am Ito you?

Keep your voice down

Keep your voice down

Seeing her again...

...you forgot me and our son

Go live with her if you want

Don't sing in front of me I can't bear it

Shut up Keep your voice down

What flower did you say? Yes! Jasmine

That fragrance is still there in your heart, right?

I am going away with my son

You can sing, smell jasmine and do whatever you want

- Enough! -Why should I?

It's enough

I can't live a life of indignity like this

There's a limit to what I can tolerate

I have only that to say

I want to know rig ht now

Should Radhika be here or me?

What did you say?

Is it Radhika or me?

Sidhu

Hey Radhika!

- Are you happy now? -Why?

She went away

- Who? - Radhika

Get together My foot!

Whateverjoy we had is now lost

I don't blame Revathi at all

You should have been more in control

What did I do wrong? Is it a crime to sing?

Song?

You behaved horribly towards Revathi

What I-

You clean forgot she was your wife

Annie

Why was this party for? Who planned it?

I did

I wanted to talk to you, Annie

I asked Xavier to arrange this party

I insisted all of them should be here

What is it, Raghu?

Annie

Let us split

Let us once for all end everything

I have to move on

I don't know where

To travel wherever I want

I don't want any obstacles

Or any hindrance

tiff

Sidhu?

She's Renuka, I told you about her?

Suhra She's my daughter

Sit

Annie

You sit down

RaghumRafique

My wife Renuka is here

Why are you all looking so upset?

What happened? Where is Radhika?

Radhika left

Annie and Raghu are breaking up

This will be our last get-together

Raghu...Sidhu? What is all this?

Everything is a mess here

What is the issue?

Is there any family without problems?

Look at us We fight everyday

We can never be without quarreling

But in the evening we patch up, that's all

But your ego rules you

Poor Radhika! What did she do?

Ask Sidhu

He must be the one who is most miserable amongst us

'We met after so long

'Breaking up like this is so unfair'

Look! Our Xavier is here

Xavier?

Where were you all these years?

But you said you couldn't come?

God works in mysterious ways

Sorry! I'm a little late

I went for the last Mass

But found the lady hale and healthy milking her cows

Sit down

Xavier This is my...Renu

What's wrong? Where is Radhika?

- She was upset and left - Upset? Why?

Annie What happened?

Don't you know?

You arranged this party because Raghu asked, isn't it?

Xavier, I want to talk to you

Renu, take the baby and go home

I'll come a little later

Let me first get out of this

tiff

You are all such boors!

Everyone wants to know if his neighbor is happy

Try and love the woman in your own house

Then you'll realize all women are the same

But you seek greener pastures

And sail like ships around the world

You drop anchor in any port you get

You then end up feeling lonely and find your way back home

By then all bonds are broken

When she cooks a fish curry tell her it's tasty

That is all they expect

You aren't married How do you know all this?

Isn't this what I hear daily?

Is there any secret a priest doesn't know?

If you can't love the person you can see...

...how can you love God whom you can't see?!

How far can you fly as a free bird, dude?

Fly...but fly together

And still if you don't find peace, come back to me

I am in search of teachers who can teach orphans

Anyway you've given up everything in life

Teach those children Let them at least benefit

Remem ber this

You are not the only one living for yourself

Don't forget Annie Both of you travel together

Wherever the destination...

...if it is peace that you really seek

MBRHDRG

Don't get me wrong, please

Let me tell you what I personally feel

Marriage, kids, family are all messy affairs

I shouldn't be saying all this being pan of the Vatican

But why don't you lead life the old fashioned way?

Quarreling but bound by love too

Revathi

Dude, did you know?

Radhika has not been in touch with her husband for past 1 year

She doesn't know the reason

But he is in Paris and she in California

Maybe he is into another relationship

Last week I called him because she asked me to

I reprimanded him

He listened to me without saying a single word

And then hung up on me

Radhika can't even imagine a life without him

Poor thing!

She came here to get some relief

But here-

It's her birthday today

I did not mean to hurt Radhi-

Revathi, understand this

Radhika's heart belongs completely to John

There is no place in it for Sidhu

Benny, can you get a cake? She'll come if I call her

I can easily arrange a cake Our Prasad can do it

Just a minute

His mobile is switched off

Prasad gave me a box this morning

Alavi'kka

Where is the box I kept here?

You leave it lying around Someone will walk away with it

I've kept it inside

Xavier!

- What is it? - Look at this

Rad hika

Try calling that number

Switched off

- Happy Birthday, my love -John

Can you give me your phone?

MBRHDRG

'Dear Radhika I am Revathi'

'Amisunderstanding which lasted only for a minute'

'I couldn't control myself'

'Only now we found the gift John sent you'

'Your beloved John is waiting for you in Paris'

'Will you please forgive me?'

'Happy birthday, Radhika'

MBRHDRG
