Manu, do you know what's this?
You don't know? Sure?
Pigeon! Come on, say, Manu!
P-I-G-E-O-N
Mex!
Gosh!
Ugh! Mixie?! No problem!
Sleep under the blanket.
Our son didn't get through. Doesn’t matter
But my tension was about Janet's son!
Luckily, he too didn't get through!
Mom! Siddhu got the admission. I'm in the School now.
His name is there in the 1st list itself!
From yesterday I was in tension if he would get through or not...
Only now I am feeling relieved!
Anyway, please inform this immediately.
Tuttu..Chinnu...Come and eat food.
Angry, ah?
Eat fully only then you will grow tall and strong.
Aren't you a good kid? Eat this
Oh my Tuttu! it's raining.
Get back to your nest soon.
If you get fever, then, I'll get an injection from dads shop and pierce it!
Won't it pain for you then?
Both of you get back to the nest like good children.
Chinnu! You don't seem to listen to whatever I say.
Dad...Why don't we go and see the rainbow?
Oh my God! Only if there is rain, there will be rainbow.
- Really? -Yes
Rainbow, Damn it! Play happily with dad! Don't study.
How many times did I teach you the English name for PRAVU!!
Tell me!
Are you crazy'?
What is there in an English name!
Oh!! Here comes the defender!
Ouch!! Turning towards me now!
You're a great English Professor, aren't you?
Come on say, Wham do you call PRAVU in English?
My dear girl! PRAVU is the name of a bird.
Whats your name? - Priya!
What is the English name of PRIYA? -It's PRIYA! Same!
This time he didn't get because he failed to recognize PRAVU(Pigeon)'s Picture!
Last time, his name didn't appear on the lot also.
- There are only two chances left now. - Yes
Should I alone take so much pains to put him in a good school?
Do you ever care about it?
To put him in a good school is my desire too!
Hiding my desires has always been my weakness for long!
Sorry!
Mom, I know what is PRAVU in English called?
P-I-G-E-O-N!
Isn't it correct, mom! Don't cry.
Why didn't you tell this then?
I'd forgotten, mom! Hereafter I will not forget.
Sorry, son!
See! He's dads son!
Pigeon is the name of harmless bird!
That's the reason these don't stand on the ground
ls there a medicine for cough?
No...But I've got a medicine for relieving cough!
You don't have to. I trust you. I'll get you right away.
Dissolve this medicine in water and inhale steam twice daily.
And this to be taken, morning and night after food.
- How much is the cost? - Rs.51. Just pay me Rs. 50
- Here - Take it.
Good morning, boss
it's not a pretty good morning for me!
Why did you take leave without informing me, yesterday?
I'd sent you a message.
Are you asking for leave over the phone?
No, I didn't have the guts to ask you face to face!
Actually I was forced to take leave on an important circumstance!
- On what circumstance? - My mom's birthday.
My dad has also taken leave
lf l don't take leave, I would've been left out at home!
Doesn't matter as long as I don't understand!
Are you ready to work now?
Yeah! I got my lunch also.
- Can you look after the shop for some time? - Of course.
- I need to go to town for collecting stock! - Carry on.
He imposed his burden upon me today!
- Hope there was good business for the last two days! - Why?
Untimely rainfall, extreme heat, strong winds...!
It's the right time for diseases to spread
On my way here, boss,
When I saw the heap of rubbish on the bus stand,
- My eyes got welled up. - What for?
These are all set and ready to spread communicable diseases
Stop talking cruelly and set those things on the rack.
- Calling this cruelty!-Here is your food!
Yesterdays Biriyani! I got for you also.
Only my dog will eat it.
It smells I suppose!
First, let me call my Laila and then begin my work
Hello..Something from my tummy rolled and moved up to my chest!
Ask it to wait for sometime
There is a green tablet for fast recovery here
If so, then why don't you come inside and take it?
You please get it for me quickly.
Then, wait patiently until I get it for you.
It's the tablet for Gas!! He's teaching me!!
Well, from which area they usually take it from?
- That one... - This?
Is this Green?
- This one? - Yes
- What's your name?-Sukoore!
Oh!! Then, green one will be enough to recover quickly.
Look, it's getting cured on just seeing the tablet!
The medicines here work in good speed!
Where do I've to pay the cash?
Over there! Rs.12.
- Uncle! - Not uncle, I'm Aravind.
Good that he didn't call you dad!
Tell me, dear! Amidst than, a moron popped in for medicine.
Reached office? Yes I also reached.
I told a pack of lies as usual.
This same tonic is available in two different company.
I shall whatsapp you both the photos.
Then, decide and let me know.
Oh no!! I don't need any money.
Here, medicines are free for me!
Even if I sell this shop, my boss will not get angry.
- So much freedom - What?
- Put the phone down-Okay!
Consume balm twice a day... Sorry...apply the balm
Manu didn't get, did he?
I also checked. Alice also didn't get.
They are really cheats!
Hell with their lot!
If you pay a huge money as a donation, automatically name will appear on the lot.
Or one should belong to their diocese!
Take me for instance! I'm also a Christian.
But they are not ready to accept people from other diocese!
What Chackoachhan says is right!
Wherever you go, they' re asking for parent's salary certificate and education
Those are only for eyewash!
How did Lisie's son get admission in St.Johns?
Her husband didn't even pass schooling.
Her dad requested the Minister to recommend.
Why else didn't my daughter Alice get selected?
You also know she is smart!
Even Manu is not less
All are big thieves!!
It is better not get admitted in such schools
- Good morning-Good morning, Lisie! Sit down
Who named your wife as PRIYA?
I'm going to collect stock! Try to mess up as much as possible.
- Have you kept the money?-Yes inside
Go carefully, heavy trucks are plying frequently!
Shut up!
Oh! Menon sir!
Did you go and check the blazer school results yesterday?
He didn't get through, sir!
What happened?
This time a bird let him down - Pigeon!
Crow, right?
Not Crow, bullshit!
Keep two things in mind to get an admission in the school.
Like all place; you'll need a political recommendation
From a Minister, MLA, Counsellor... any such dignified persons
Not a Minister, but I know a Muslim crier! Will that be enough?
I don't have any acquaintance with such people
Do you know any Fathers?
- Fathers?! - I mean, Bishop, Priest, Vicar or a Rector
A"? Such people?
The only Priest I knew was, who regularly comes here for Asthma medicines!
But he hasn't been coming here for a month!
That medicine would've worked!
I heard the passing bells ringing at the Church the other day.
If I give you a kick..
Look at his prank!
- I'm on the way to the town now. - Okay.
Then, think upon whatever I said and decide
Give medicines to Menon sir.
Actually, you need the Asthma tablet, right?
I'll give you a blow.
I need tablets for Dysentery!
We give the same medicine for both.
Get lost
The teacher who taught spoken English tuition for Allen,
- George sir? - Yes
He's in Kozhikode now. Why?
I'm planning to send Manu for tuition
Is that so?
I know a couple of persons
I'll give you their numbers.
Manu didn't get admission, right?
It's not that!
The play school, he's going now is good and it is close by too!
He can continue there next year also!
What is the tuition for?
Aravindettan insists on that!
Why didn't you call me yesterday?
No, mom..l..
What happened to his results?
I have to find some other school.
So, he didn't get there also.
Doesn't matter.
Ask them to come here with Manu.
It's been a long time since we saw them.
You come home with Manu. Your father wants to see him
it's easy for you to say.
I run helter-skelter for each and every thing
None of you seem worried about it.
And dad wants to keep playing with him.
You carry on with your work.
You will have two days holidays after tomorrow, isn't it?
That's why I called you.
I'll try, dad!!
I need to arrange tuition for Manu.
We are able to see you only when you bring Manu here.
I'll let you know when I could come
it's because I am stuck in between admission and office work...
Yes, that's enough.
Okay, dad! I'll reach home and call you.
- You lost! - I've no mood!
What's wrong even if Priya wished so?
Even if you struggle now,
Manu will reach somewhere in future.
Education is very important in today's world.
Anyway, you are ready to give donation.
If so, I know a person... Sibi who works in the Secretariat!
Wham if we approach him?
Sibi! No way!! We'll look out for some other way.
What about Attenders and Peons?
I know some of them.
W“ anything happen ii they try'?
Why not?
They rule the roost!
However, I'm not ready to meet such persons!
I couldn't catch him over the phone.
Don't worry, I'll speak with him
However, I called up yesterday.
I shall call up tomorrow also.
Seeing the height of the wall, exorbitant donation I suppose!
Hey, what do you want?
Admiss...
Regarding admission.
Admission? Then, why do you walk stealthily like thieves?
Sorry.
The office is in the right hand side
Where can I meet the attenders?
Attenders? What for?
Just to convey my regards!
- Enquire in the office-Over there?
Oh God, where is it
Hello! Come here

To know if it is good...Gosh!

So, you are the attender here?
If so?
Good! I was actually looking for...
Without knowing whom to ask...
Ask what?
- I came to meet you, sir. -Wham for?
- For a reason! - What reason?
How can I ask this openly...
Shall we get into that toilet?
- For a thing.-What thing?
I mean, please accept the donation and make my son's admission done.
Wham nonsense are you saying?
If you have any problem here, give me your address I'll send the money home.
Security!
Is it enough if I give it to him?
Will you get out or do I've to call the police?
I will give bribe if you don't need the donation.
Security, come here. Throw this fellow out.
Get out.
Why are you roaming around here?
Get out, please
Don't you understand? Are you creating ruckus at school?
- Can you do it, sir? - Shut up and Get away.
My bike is over there.

No...Whenever you find time... just for a little time..

Oh, 5.30?! it's his playing time!

Still you never replied to me.
But that Reshma is also available at the same time
I know.
Oh! Coincidence!! Always Coincidence!
You were chatting with her, I know... You know what.
I just don't want this relationship.
You do colouring!

Superb! ls your teacher; relative of Renji Panicker! Very tough words!
Son, repeat than.
You cheat! You liar!

Do they teach all such things?
Cheat is not a problem Liar is not bad!
But the last word matters a lot!
- Who taught you all this? - Teena madam
You don't learn all this!!
Old Pigeon is enough for us!
What can I say? Priya was right!!
Now I regret for not learning English.
I don't understand whether child talks right or wrong.
Aravindan, School is very important.
There lies Children's future.
True!
Who is Renji Panicker?
Aunty, you're waiting near the phone, aren't you?
Srini will be calling me today.
If I don't pick the call in 2 rings, then he won't call me again
This is for you aunty. Pressure tablets
This is for Samy uncle
Bill must have mounted!
Dues are almost pending for 5 months!
Come on, aunty!
Srini is quite busy nowadays.
He doesn't find time for an account transfer:
Don't worry about it!
Just take your medicines regularly.
Aravindettan particularly told this.
Please be seated. I'll get you a cup of coffee
Not now, Manu is with the tuition teacher:
Let me go.
No...No..No way" Never.
This is it! I'm Single Let the whole World know.
Henceforth, there's nothing between me and you!
My status is changed! Teena is single!
Are you troubling me
Where is Manu?
Manu ...bathroom...he's in the bathroom!
I'll call you later, okay?.
Where is Manu? He's not seen anywhere around.
- Did Manu come here? - No
Oh God, He's not there upstairs, let me check down
Did Manu come here?
Just a minute! I didn't see him! What happened?
Nothing.
- Manu- Mom!
I was searching for you everywhere.
I told you not to go out alone.
I saw a big star going in full speed from the balcony.
Now I don't find than. Where is that?
Dear, That must be a Comet!
- The star which I saw also had a tail!-Oh really?
Why these stars don't have a tail?
Stars are very far away from us
Tiny bits of some stars will break and fall onto the earth,
and burn! That appears like a tail!
Will that fall onto my head?
Shut up, you silly! it'll not fall!
Manu, Are you here?
You said you'll go to the toilet and come?
I was in such a tension!
How many times I asked you which colour to use?
But you were over the phone for a long time
Tina, hereafter I shall teach Manu!
To tell the truth, Manu is very much restless
Only I can take good care of him.
Tina, you needn't come from tomorrow.
I noticed only when he told his wife about the admission over phone
Later I prompted him and got the details
- Vidya Guru, isn't it? - Yes!
Application form will be given from 10 'U' clock only.
But a huge queue has been there since early morning
One who travelled in my auto was rushing to join the queue.
Seems first 50 persons who collect the forms will definitely be called for the interview.
--Will we be lame?+lo, not at all.
I informed Shafiq. He would've reached by now.
Then, ifs okay.
See the huge queue!
Where the hell is that ogler standing?
- Is it for your son?-N o, I'm a bachelor.
Then why are you here
Every year, we used to sponsor for three children
This is for one of the children
That moron is trying to woo someone
Enough of your wooing! Go and open the shop.
It's not an issue! I'm ready to stand
Who will open the shop, then? Go quickly.
I'm prepared to wait here even for 10 days for your sake.
Shut up and go!
Is he that eager to stand in a queue?
- Haven't started giving forms, right? - No.
I'm standing in queue since early morning.
Not sure when they will issue!
Hold me please!
Whats wrong with him?
Get some water. Somebody help!
Call an auto!
Wait, I shall also carry him.
- You stand in the queue! - Doesn't matter.
Take him to Medical college for a good treatment!
Yes..that will be better.
Better sleep! Or else you will get from me nicely.
What son of a dad he is!
Wham else to say other than Fame!
Has no time for anything.
But has ample time to take old people on the roadside to hospital!
- There are also many others hanging around with him - O Gosh!-
Boss, I came to hand over the keys
You keep the keys. I will be coming late tomorrow.
Should I keep a black ﬂag tomorrow in the shop
Get lost, you rascal!
Can't you respond anything?
Shafiq had come to hand over the keys!
So what? Do I've to stand upside down?
Get going!
I shall pray for your long life See you.
She will break everything today
Good Lord, I can't hear my child's voice!
If anybody falls sick at home, you will give us sample medicine from your own shop
Why don't you get inside and look?
You may find a treasure inside.
Offer it as donation for child's admission.
That's the only way out now.
When did you come?
When talking about finding a treasure, I walked in
Please sit! I'll get you a cup of tea
What brought you here at this late hour?
I came to inform you before more damage is done!
A few allegations have been raised against the School that distributed the form today.
There was a big tussle over there this morning.
This started when somebody tried to jump over the queue.
However form distribution has been postponed to some other date
- Thank God!- Saved!
Me too!
Please be seated. Have dinner
No, she is alone at home.
Thought of informing you as soon as we came to know this
See you!
I'll send them and be back
You go..I'll be back now.
Wham happened, Pavitraettan? Did you forget anything?
- You' ve not seen Aravindan's dad, have you? -No!
His dad died when he was too small, right?
Aravind was in 8th grade then.
His dad was very healthy and glamorous too!
He was our hero.
I've seen his photo!
One day, all of a sudden, his dad collapsed on the road and died.
It was in the broad daylight.
The doctors said that he was brought late to the hospital.
Unfortunately, nobody was willing to help him that time
See you, then!
Shall I leave?
She is in full tension because of this admission matter.
Only when she's angry, she'll blurt out like that!
Poor soul!
She may become angry again. You go!
I never thought about that...
Amidst these tensions of Admission, School, Office leave...
Doesn't matter. No problem
- Has our son slept? - Yes

Why are you not so happy about going to hometown this time?
No, I'm happy! But a problem exists there also!
What problem?

Oh!! You mean sister-in-law!
Why are you so keen going this time?
I'm happy on my brother's arrival.
What a joke!! Tell me the truth, Priya
Planning to make your German sister-in-law teach English to our son, right?
Has he started?

Right leg... Place your right leg.
- Oh God, slippers! -Slippers are okay. Dog may bite it, that's why!
Is the tender coconut drink ready?
Why English medium? Why not Malayalam medium?
Because, if you don't know English,
You cannot achieve anything.
No good job...
No respect in the Society...
Why so?
We all study in German at our school.
And I don't have any issue with English
I will learn Malayalam. We can speak in Malayalam.
Let's speak in Malayalam, okay.
I want to improve speaking in it.
Whenever you find time, can you teach English to Manu?
How funny!
I learnt Malayalam only to speak to all of you.
You all want me to speak in English?
We shall talk in Malayalam
- But with Manu, only English! Please Angela - Okay!
- Is it good? -Yes, ifs good!
And now wear a bindi also.
Come here and have this.
As there are many people here,
I didn't find time to attend to you.
Have it! Don't get angry...
- You sold the Nandhini cow, mom? - Yes.
Who is here to attend to all these chores?
I think you're still angry with me, mom!
No, I'm not.
I can understand, mom! But Angela is a good girl, mom.
Don't I know that?
Actually, I wished to perform your marriage in our Lord Krishna temple.
So what? It can also be done now.
Angela will be very happy.
- Really? - Yes
Shall I inform about this to dad?
Was this your concern? You must surely tell him
So, it is for this that you made me feel bad for a whole day!
Hidimbi is a monstrous she-demon!
Slowly, she went near him pulling out her nails...
- Oh God -...goggling her eyes.
And expanding her ears wide...
she furtively reached close to them.
Sshh...be silent!
A face that anyone would get frightened!
Do you know how Hidimbi was?
- She's as tall as the tree and rock like.. - I know grandma!
Then, you say.
A rock-like face!
Wham about her eyes?
RED like Tomato!
What about her teeth?
Long like an elephant tusk!
What about her tongue, then?
Tongue?
It's as long as Plantain leaf.
And her ears?
Ears are very big ones!
Ears are like winnow!
Grandma, even I wanted to say that!
You mischief! Like uncle, like nephew!
This is the right time to bait.
When the heat subsides fish will come up.
Won't the fish get burnt then, grandpa?
See this! This is a dough!
Take the dough and earthworm and string them together in the corner of the bait.
Does the fish eat earthworms? It only eats dough, right?
Wham do you eat for lunch?
Rice!
Do you eat only rice?
No...
Won't you like to have a fish fry along with it?
Yes
- Greedy fish, isn't it Grandpa? -Yes it is!
Then, throw the bait like this,
How long do we have to hold it, grandpa?
Manu, you are here?
Got it!
Don't you like it.
On the wind, some beard grasses came ﬂying without noise in the village
Came ﬂying without noise in the village
Fed up of forest scenes they stood relaxing in the morning sunlight
Stood relaxing in the morning sunlight
O breeze, talking coquettishl
O koel, cooing sweet words you come
O breeze, talking coquettishly
O koel, cooing sweet words you come
On the wind, some beard grasses came ﬂying without noise in the village
Came ﬂying without noise in the village
O breeze, talking coquettishly
O koel, cooing sweet words you come
O breeze, talking coquettishly
O koel, cooing sweet words you come
Swinging slowly on the bough of ﬂowers
The breeze is coming on a chariot come down the hill
Where the warm sunlight dances
Are you coming to hear the festival story?
Come to this shade
Come for a short while
Come to kiss grandma like a Mukkutti ﬂower
O breeze, talking coquettishly
O koel, cooing sweet words you come
O breeze, talking coquettishly
O koel, cooing sweet words you come
On the wind, some beard grasses
Came ﬂying without noise in the village
Fed up of forest scenes, they stood relaxing in the morning sunlight
Stood relaxing in the morning sunlight
Count down! 10...09...08...07... 06...05...
Still brother-in-law hasn't come up
Wham a chillness!
Pleasantness of bathing in the pond is really different.
Where is the pool and where is the pond - beyond comparison!
Yes, Pool is in Germany and Pond in Kerala
Oh my brother-in-law!!
Well, how is your business?
As the Malayalees have no dearth of illness my business is running quite well!
But you feel gloomy altogether!
- I really envy you - Why?
Your German wife will not insist her children to study in English medium, will she?
Definitely. She will not insist for an English medium,
but their obstinacy goes beyond that, brother-in-law!
If there's a fight for any reason, immediately they cut...
4mm - Not that. But divorce!
Then, they'll put case against us...
And entire properties should be willed on their name...
And we have to look after them for their lifetime
Fearing all this only, I also..
Let's move...They will be back now.
Good temple, isn't it?
- Haven't you finished bathing? - Yes.
- Are you not coming? - Here I come!
He's always like this!!
Just to go to this temple, they've dressed up like this!
Have to tolerate all these!
It's because you're afraid of your wife!
- Honey!-Yes, darling! Calls me for giving me temple offerings!
Even in Germany, husbands are henpecked only.
Let me also go.
Yes, Teresa! Tell me
Now, we're in hometown.
Oh!! ls the dame announced? On Friday?
Okay, thank you.
Yes, we'll reach tomorrow. Okay, bye, Teresa
What happened?
Holy Saints School has announced the interview date for Manu's admission.
I was really scared whether they would call or not for interview!
What will they ask for interview?
Morris qualification, Dad's income”
Why do you insist on admitting your son in this school?”
...many such questions.
Not sure of what they would ask. They may ask anything!
We need to go tomorrow.
See you, then! Bye..
Study well! Obey whatever your mom says!
When will you come again to see grandma?
I'll come running to see you, grandma
This grandpa will come there to see you my child!
- Where are your documents? - Eh!
Documents?
Degree certificate, Pre-degree certificate...
Take good care of my SSLC certificate
10 -15 yrs hardvvork!
Pre-degree certificate! Aadhar Card!
Identity Card and Ration Card!
Do you need my horoscope?
Whats this, Aravindetta?
These copies are not at all clear.
How much ever I say, you never heed my words!
Original itself is not clear!
Where is your degree certificate?
Give it! I need to pin it up.
It's good that I checked!!
Those are not necessary.
Just say B.com!! No other proofis needed!
They are required. You can't simply say like that.
We' ve to give correct proof for everything!
Don't waste time
- I forgot to collect my degree certificate! - From where?
From the University!!
The", apply for it!
If I apply, I will surely get it
- But I need to wait for 2 - 3 yrs!! - 3 years?
Yes! First apply, then write the exam and then get the certificate!
- Will take 3 years!! Will it be late?
But you said you're a B.com graduate!
I only said B.com
So, you were cheating me all these days!
I was not that poor in studies.
If you ask if I'd cheated you...
I don't know Priya
I didn't find time to correct it.. that is the fact!!
Everyone will have some personal story,
that can't be understood even when told!
I'm sorry.
You didn't eat anything, right?
Shall I make dosas?
I ate! Sorry! I was very hungry.
Do you mean for hire?
What nonsense are you talking?
It was you who told me that for interview you can get people for hire!
Those situations are different!
Like.. Divorce case; single mother; estranged parents.
But yours is a happy family, isn't it?
Shall I divorce her then?
If it's the only way for getting admission, I'm ready for that also.
That'll lead to trouble, Aravindan!
I can't step into that school again.
Why?
That's a big story.
I tried using my wits but it didn't work out.
Sir, please...l have trust on you.
- Is it such a grave issue? - Yes.
Imagine, what will happen if a mad person rides a brakeless vehicle?
- Awful!-Yes, awful!!
Won't this be solved if money is given?
But, I don't have money
Then, there is only one way out.
Better ﬂy to Dubai.
Dubai!
Just lie that you're in Dubai!
Nobody will go and verify it.
If that's the case, then your wife can go alone.
Is the problem solved?
- You are really great, sir. -I know that!
Then, I shall meet you after I return from Dubai.
- Okay, Dubai!-Not like that!
Priya will be shocked.
Shucks! Why do you strain yourself like this, Priya?
Don't you have back pain? Can't you call that Pushpa?
What's your problem?
My back pain or that you are not able to see Pushpa?
Whatever I say, you will misunderstand me
I didn't mean that.
Whats the matter?
Our son will definitely get a seam this time.
I checked my weekly zodiac horoscope!
A very favourable period it seems!
So, I'm not coming with you for the interview tomorrow.
Jeez! All this love was for that?
It's not than, Priya!
For the interview, they'll ask me some questions in front of you...
And I would also blabber something!
Moreover, as I have no certificate, I lost my full confidence
- So... - So?
- So I'm ﬂying to Dubai! - Eh?
Tell them like that
Oh!! Like your B.Com degree?!
Actually Kumar sir suggested this idea.
Hell with him!
If you try this, it'll work out 'like Pushpam' (smoothly)!
You' ve been repeating this name Pushpa for quite some days!
I'll leave that...
it's a small injection when the tablet doesn't work! That's all!
Oh No! The dose was high!
No problem! I'll make it alright 'like Pushpam' Hold it in the centre.
Anakha Mathews
Yes, madam!
After three children, ifs your turn.
- Husband is in Dubai, right? - Hm..
Aravind? When did he ﬂy to Dubai?
I'd seen him yesterday also.
No, ifs a mistake it's my brother who's abroad!
He is on the way!
How long will it take for the interview to get over?
Only 30 minutes
After that, we'll close down.
This is the last batch. Please ask him to hurry up!
Who is that?
Hello, what happened?
How many times have I been calling you, where the hell are you?

There are few random topics here
Select any one of them and talk about it for 2 mins

No probs!
No...No...l want you to speak
- Me? -Yes, you!
Pick it up.
Show me that. Give it to me.
- Give it - Thank you, sir.
Child Labour! -O God!
Child Labour, sir! We want you to speak.
- Me? - Yes, you!
No problem! I speak
Good question.
Sitting style or Standing style?
- Your wish! Any style! - I'll speak.
Give me a minute. Let me keep this aside.
Ladies and gentlemen!
- Child labour, isn't it? -Yeah!
Child labour is weak! Child labour is a big pain to all.
Because, in labour room, when labour comes, child comes.
My mother labour me.
My wife mother labour my wife
My wife labour my son
Labour ladies only.
Because labour start, mother child romance start!
My mother tells always she labour me 10 months.
Reason - Who? My father!
Once upon a time, my father said...
Sorry, I need to talk in English, isn't it?
In black and white time; normal labour no problem.
Not only but also my mother seven times,
Still full energy but no more
Time pass...Time pass... normal labour here and there.
But also caesarean labour everywhere.
My own wife... cried in labour room Caesarean...Caesarean
I no agree! Why? Climax!
Look, my property - The Priya full fit, 0k?
Normal labour first pain. Future no pain.
Caesarean labour - First no pain, future intense pain.
I full stop! Child labour - Fantastic!
Yours faithfully, Aravind T P
- Some water, please! - Of course, have it!
I didn't expect this much!
- Very good! I like it.
Thank you!
Come quickly!
Your mom is angry. She didn't like me “shine” in front of them!
Wham did they ask you? -Alphabets!
It was easy for you.
It was easy for mom also! They confused only me
But I astonished them!
- Really? - Yes
Come quickly, or else mom will take away the bike and go.
Wait, Priya! Why are you not happy?
Are you such a fool?
My skin was totally peeled off!
Wham for? Tell me.
- Do you know what is Child labour? - What? Tell me! Was I wrong?
As if school will ask about “Child birth”!
Even I too thought why they are asking that!
Shut up! Child labour doesn't mean Labour room or Labour law.
- Means Children going for work! - Is that so?
Wouldn't I've impressed if you'd given me an hint?
Aren't these 'messing up' enough? Coming again to mess up things!
- Dad! Good job! - Thank you, son.
Come here!
Gosh! Not now.
Why do you look worried, boss?
Have you heard of child labour?
Asking me if I've heard of it?
Am I not working here since 10 -12yrs?
Don't you know this?
Let our customers don't hear this.
Really feel sorry for you!
Being the owner of medical shop and you don't know this Ugh!
I need to quit from here
This is that stuff!
For children, one time a day and adult, twice a day.
If I hadn't got a rascal like you, I would've gone begging.
I'll always be with you in your joys and sorrows!
But when you die, don't ask me also to die with you.
Why?
This shop will be left abandoned! Only for that reason I say!
Actually, you're not fit to stand here
- Please sit down! - Really?
Thanks for understanding me at least now, boss.
What did you call this as?
CHILD LABOUR!
- Gosh! - Rascal!
Child labour is your grandpa!
Isn't this the one? But I'd given this to a customer:
Lord Shiva temple?! The most powerful God!
Did you go there, Angela?
Aravindetta went to check the results
What is your plan for today?
Aravindetta is calling! I'll call you back, Angela!
Aravindetta! What happened? Did you get the results?
Got the results as expected but didn't get!
Seems they still got some more papers to be checked!
There is no such rule followed there.
Yes I too asked them
Saying there is no necessity for my son to study in such an irresponsible school,
I walked off from there!
Oh! Now I got to understand.
Somebody is at the door.
Hello! Fearing you, I was standing outside.
Priya, shall we have lunch?
Good boy!
Now get me the blue colour medicine taken for fever.
- Blue colour? - Yes, that one!
Clever boy! Now get me the red colour syrup taken for cough
- Red colour, ah? Is this the one? - Good boy!
Now which one will you take?
Happy, ah? That you got an assistant?
Certainly! Did we know anything about this at the age of 5?
Oh!! Also teach him how to ride a bike after some time.
What for?
For him to keep standing outside some campus,
to lie that he has got some degree like B.Com, B.tech etc.
Needn't say he has passed out!.
So, that won't become a lie, right?
Like you cheated me, let him also cheat some woman.
Shall I get you the medicine for headache?
Your mom has gone crazy! We shall play later.
- Come on , chap'. - 0k
Everything is a joke for you.
Listen to me carefully.
If he doesn't get in St.Antony's also, that will be the end of his future
Later don't blame me
You may do anything you want like donation, recommendation or bribery,
I don't mind.
Go and do your homework.
- Finished my homework, mom! - Then study something
All 24 hrs Cartoon!! You are not less in that.
I'll stop everything, mind you!
Move! -Will sit blocking the way!
Dad, come with me Did mom beat you?
- No, she caressed my hair. - Is it?
Doesn't matter! You go and watch T.V, 0k?
Let me go there and get!
- Shining Stars! - Eh?
Career Guidance Centre run by my friend's cousin!
Until last year, my friend Rani, her husband didn't even know how to write his own name
Still, her son got admission in Vidya Gurukulam!
- Do you know how? - How?
Shining Stars!
If anybody wishes Good morning to her husband,
he used to tell them to mind their business
- Apart from coaching the child, the Madam there, readied the parents too. - Really?
L' ve asked Rani to arrange a class for five families.
- Me, one of Rani's cousin, Chacko's two friends and you! - OK!
A week's Crash course!
Will this work out in a week's time?
If the training is good, then one week will be more than sufficient.
Not sure whether Aravindettan will stay away from shop!
Coax him and get it done!!
I don't have to teach you than, right?
Wham are you doing over there?
Come.
Sorry, Aravindetta! I needlessly got angry.
No...Doesn't matter. I was looking out for something else.
Here is the fixed deposit for two lakhs!
If I pledge the medical shop too, I will get Rs 3 lakhs!
And some dues from those who were given medicines on credit.
But most of them are already dead. So it's not possible to get that.
However this is quite adequate to give donation to Manu's school.
Tell me which school you want. The choice is yours!
I blurted out something due to my anger at that time.
For that, are you going to throw away everything you'd saved till now?!
It's only for you both, not me!!
Shining Stars is enough for me.
Which school is that? You'd not mentioned about it so far!.
A grooming school run by a Madam a well-wisher of Teresa!
Grooming School? What's that?
Similar to Manu's play school!
A new concept. They will coach parents also along with children for school admission.
If we join there, admission is for sure!
I swear you will also like it.
Just for a week!
Going back to school at this age..
People will call me a nut!
I'm sorry, I can't!
Others are..
Who are the others? -Teresa!
Then?
3 - 4 families Only for us, nothing...
They may be eager to go back to school again but not me.
From childhood, my hands and legs used to tremble on seeing school.
And moreover, they will all be wealthy family!
There's no one to whom I can entrust my shop when I go!
Please Aravindetta! it's for our Manu, right?
Only for a week! I didn't ask you anything else, right?
No!...You!
As ifs a gain of 4 - 5 lakhs, this is not a problem!
Do we need to go for an interview for this school admission also?
No!! There are no such things there.
Then, I'm ready for an embarrassment!
Thank you, Aravindetta!
- Are you scared?-Little.
- Don't be afraid. - Still"
Not over there! it's here, isn't it?
Do they normally put it here?
Then, I shall also do it there.
--Will it pain? - You will only feel the pain of an ant bite!
Sometimes of two ant bites!
Don't cry
- Shucks! Gone?- Everything's gone waste!
I wantedly wasted it...
Like the way the leftover batter is wasted after making dosas
- Exactly!
We've plenty of stock unnecessarily here
Please come later, when my boss is not there.
Ugh! Needlessly troubling others!
You look very handsome!
Leave that! What the hell were you doing? He will die!
This is your problem! Never let me do any work.
I will only shrivel up then!
Wham more is there to shrivel?
Don't you know I aspired to become a Doctor?
To become a Doctor, you need to go to School first.
Then College!
Even now we can go, right? Like you're going now!
No, I didn't intend that.
I won't be here for a week!
Take care of the needs.
How am I to show gratitude for giving me an opportunity to prove my sincerity?
Always keep me informed about all the happenings!
- About what happening? - World news!
What?
- Keep me informed about the happening in the shop. - Sure
When I come back, Shop must remain the same!
Don't I need to sell any medicines?
When you go to school and become a great man, please don't forget me, boss!
Can we take a selfie?
I'll surely come back, man!
Don't I need to see you till such time?
To click a selfie, your arm should have a minimum length at least!
Smile!
I heard you're going back to school again.
Is it for studying?
No, for a shave!
With shin tucked in, you look very smart.
You get a water bottle free along with Junior Horlicks.
- Shall I get 10 nos.?-No thanks!
I think everybody has gone crazy here
From now on, I'm in charge of everything here
So, please deal with me!
Get 10 nos. of water bottle you mentioned now for my home needs.
Is the class conducted in this Hotel?
It's not a hotel but their own college! Come!
- Free, isn't it? - it's free! Come.
Stay here.
- Mom, is this a School? - Hmm!
Greetings! - Greeting; sir!
Look at this!
Come on, change than.
Best education there! Things are, not as we imagine!
Hello...Anbi...Anbesol is on the 3rd rack!
You can't use the phone here. Cut it!
For three square meals this is needed!
Not necessary!
Good morning, everyone!
Please...Please sit down.
A very warm welcome to all of you!
Welcome all of you to the Shining Stars programme of Asian School of Business!
Once again, you must be feeling like a small kid sitting in the classroom, right?
Seeing the chair I feel as though I'm sitting in the Parliament!
Anyway, my name is Deepika
Giving best education to our children is our dream.
That's the reason you've put aside all your work and come here!
Right to Education Act - RTE 4th August 2009
Article 21A of the Indian Constitution says that...
for the sake of school admission,
neither the children nor their parents should be interviewed!
- Really? - Hmm!
But most of the schools conduct this interview even now in different names..
Like an interactive session!
To wait for these rules to be amended before getting admission for your child,
won't it take a long time?
So, let's try and see what we can do within the existing rules and systems!
So, this one week, which we' re going to spend together...
will be more than enough for you and your little Shining stars,
to accomplish the dreams!!
So, let's get to know each other. Please introduce yourselves!
I'm Chacko! Chacko! Chacko! Chacko & sons Garment shop in the Chala junction is mine.
She's my wife Theresa!
Thank you very much, please sit.
I'm Sathish Kachyani! KPSP's District Secretary.
She's my wife - Mrs Meera Sathish!
Very nice! Thank you!
I'm Shameer! And this is my wife Noora!
I assist him in the shop! My Chicken Shelf is very famous.
- Need to place the Chicken like this - Noora!
Please behave!
- Alwin Kuriakose! She's my wife Fenny! - Oh! Very nice! Please sit!
Next?
- I'm Mohan! Government Servant! She is my wife Meenakshi! - Greetings!
Our hometown is next to Undancode, Aanapara!
Yes!
Aravindetta, get up.
I'm Aravind, Priya Medical shop Owner.
Wife...Priya medi..Sorry, she's an accountant
My hometown is Aanapara, next to Undancode!
In school, they called me Aravind T P!
- Okay, please sit! -could've stood!
We'll take a short break now.
I'll be with my real Shining stars... the little ones.
Be good children, ok!
We can see on the jasmines,
the Kona ﬂowers,
the leaves,
the roses,
the sky
and the butterﬂies - a 100 colours!
My husband spends most of his time in recording.
In my family, all are good in studies.
Hello! I'm Mohan Kumar.
She's my wife Meenakshi!
I know her. We studied together!
I have no hopes about this Class! As she insisted, I came!
- Even Aravindetta was... - I was also interested.
When she mentioned about this, I told her it'll be a great programme!
But I didn't expect this much.
- He's in Police! - I understood!
No! Don't punch him, I will come and punch him
- We both have... - No, I never go out.
Looks like an insane! You're alright, aren't you?
- Wham? -Am I alright?
- Come, let's go - Shall we get something? Yes, we've to!
Let'; go!
- Hello! 15 Dum Biriyani - Mr. Shameer, please sit!
Sorry, madam
Excuse me, come. . .come.
Please sit...Sit down
Everyone here?
- We shall sit over here - That's what I also said
- That's why... - Mr. Shameer, shall we begin?
All of you settled, right? Shall we start?
Can anybody say which is the best school here?
And the best teacher?
- Lakshmi teacher in Blossoms! - Lakshmi!
Allur Mohammed sir!
No! Best school is our house!
And best teacher - Parents!
Children learn everything watching their parents.
They' re like a sponge!
Will grasp whatever they see and hear!
Like biting nails often, shaking leg; chewing gums,
then, talking aloud over the phone.
All this create a very bad impression about you.
This is what we call it as Bad manners!
Be it in an interview or in your own life.
Behaviour is more important than how you perform it!
Always remember, the 1st impression is the last impression!
Agreed?
There is no such medicine
- Abhi, don't run...Wait.. - Don't give, We'll be in trouble!
Then, give! I shall call you back!
I didn't expect this meeting after so many years
Me too! Do you think of me?
Flowers that bloomed in heart never withers, my beloved”
...the words that I wrote in your autograph book
I haven't forgotten!
I'm in the Dining hall!
No need. I'll come there right away.
Wife?
Can be called so! But I like to call it as the GAME OF FATE!
Be satisfied with what you have!
I've got many things to share with you
But if I don't go now, then I won't be able to share it at all.
When did you both meet last?
Now!
Not that! Before this?
That was on the day before our marriage
Will pop up to trouble others needlessly!
- Dad! - What?
- Sit straight. - Eh!
Sit straight!
Spine up right!
Hasn't Deepika teacher asked us to sit straight always?
Began your coaching at home also!!
I don't know.
Show me
Sit aside, Dad!
I did!
Omg! I made a mistake.
Stop, Mr.Mohan!
You get the 1st chance today. This question is for you!
You already have a son Abhi at home, right?
Imagine that another child is going to be born to you soon!
- Mr. Mohan, just imagine - I didn't know this!
- Imagine! - Oh, okay!
How will you put this across to your son Abhi?
That'; madamm...about my 2nd child..
- I need to tell this to my 1st son! - Hmm!
No...l won't say! I will not tell it to anybody I swear!
Sit down, I'll say, madam
I'll ask Abhi, “To play with you, to draw with you and to put to sleep in a cradle...
and to call you “brother”, don't you want a baby?”
- Very good! Sit! - Thank you!
Actually, children are more caring than elders.
These baby dolls...are especially liked by the girl children...
...haven't you noticed?
In fact, in most of the cases children are more responsible than elders!
Stan the music.
Mr.Aravind, why do you want admission for your child in this school?
Yes!
Why do you insist on admitting Manu in this School?
Come on, answer!
That...l don't know, ma'am!
Come on, Say whatever you feel!
No, I don't know to speak in English.
Then, speak in Malayalam!
No point in speaking in Malayalam. My child will not get admission.
No, you're wrong! No school will ignore you for speaking in Malayalam!
Actually I studied in Malayalam medium
I learnt English Alphabets only in the grade of 5!
Moreover Malayalam is also not necessary for the children of this generation.
And for me, I know nothing other than Malayalam!
Hey, no...no!! See, Aravind, Malayalam is a classical language.
English language is also necessary for us.
For pursuing higher studies for our career,
and to communicate with the outside world, English is essential for us.
While communicating in our mother-tongue, it is received in our heart!
And in case of other language, it is received in our brain! That's all!
- You're really great! - Eh!
When you told about Shining Stars the other day,
I absolutely had no idea about it!
What all were we able to learn from there!
Certain things are not getting wiped off from my mind.
Didn't you hear what she said,
How easy it is to beget a child, right?
If we hadn't gone together,
Would we've arrived at a conclusion of having a second child?
We?! When did we decide?
That's quite easy, isn't it?
Let's call our son and ask..
Shall I give a baby to play, draw, sing lullaby and call you a brother?
Is that alone enough?
Then your full cooperation
You!! First try to get admission for your 1st child!
And later decide about new shining star!
Come with a drumstick readily!!
So, there is no chance for this in near future.
No problem
Bloody drumstick! That's the reason no dog wants it!
Please wait.
Which place is this? Where do I search for him?!
None of them are seen around also.
Oh some marriage here!
Little bro!
What?
Sorry, big bro! Where's the place my boss is studying?
What boss!!
I mean the place where married ones study!
Go straight, take a left, you will find a hall there.
What Crap!
Hello, is there any other entrance?
Just go straight, and take a left. You will see a hall there
Is that the easy way?
Headmaster I suppose!
Here he's!
Boss! Were you thrown out of the class?
I'm studying.
Did I create a disturbance?
No! What brought you here now?
- To get the cheque signed - Eh?!
To get the cheque signed!
Say that properly first!
- Hi, T.P, Good morning! - Good morning.
See! This whole thing is for studying!!
Full of chicks here, boss!
Pullets are also here!
- I got to see when I entered here! - Did you?
Yes! Excellent English!
- Moreover, a child labour! -You rascal!
- In my medical shop, this man ism-Pharmacist!
Try to say the word properly
She understood!
- Are you not coming? - Coming!
Boss! Who is that?
My childhood friend! Classmates!
So, opportunities are knocking only on married ones!
I must get married as soon as possible and join here.
How does that lady in brown saree look?
- Aravind's staff, right? - Yes, how did you know?
Hmm...l understood.
How is your boss?
My boss! He's a playboy
Green and blue are also good!
- Thank you, madam! - Yeah, madam Thank you!
Congrats! How long have you been married? - Fifteen years!
Even life imprisonment is only up to 14 yrs
- You have to compete! - Definitely! I've no other option!
My shop's best item is for lunch today! Noora, serve it!
Wait...Wait...Wait.
Do you know which are the most favourite dishes of your wife?
He doesn't know!
Today, all husbands, including Mr.Shameer, will be serving their wives today, 0k?
Come on! Why you're sitting shy?
All husbands get up! Take your plates, and serve your beautiful wives!
What's it?
Ladies, please come! Come all of you.
It's not only for today.
Hereafter this will be the routine in your house daily.
Always give first preference to women!
When you go to a reputed school for an admission,
Open the door, and first send your wife inside,
then, your child,
and last will be you!
And always try and remember to ask for permission.
May I come in? May I sit down? May I serve my wife?”
- Take it! - They are not used to such things!
Feeling shy?

- One point! - One point for you.
Two points!
-What? - I'll let you know, sit down.
Dad! Serve me first!
No, ladies first!
Then, comes the family!
And now.. Oh my god! Where is the plate?
And last for this poor, Aravind T P!
Next is curry!
Ladies first!
- Then, come the family! - Family!
And last is for the poor, Aravind T P!
I served it with a lot of difficulty! Don't waste anything
What's your intention, Mr.Aravind T.P?
Hail Madam!
Happy Wedding Anniversary, Aunty!
Why all this needlessly?
- Keep it there, Manu ! - Let him take.
These are for the kids to play, isn't it?
Even Srini was like this in his childhood!
He was very much interested in these things..My son!
One minute.
Hello! Oh, Srini!
Dad speaking! Are you fine, son?
Have you booked the tickets?
When is the arrival?
What? Cancelled!
Got a new project! No...then don't come!
As your vacation is nearing, I asked.
Remind him about money! Not received anything so far!
There is no emergency here. You concentrate on your project.
That's very important.
When you were small...
Oh! Time is up? Okay, talk to mom then!
- Hello Srini...Hello - Not getting the line!
Hello Srini!
Line got cut!
His next assignment is Nasa Mars Mission Project!
He is a PhD from llSc Bangalore
Astrophysics - Very focused!
And hardworking too!
- But the base he'd got, was from St.Antony's! - Very good!
School is very very important
it's a big achievement.
In India, how many of them would've been in this post?
But, look at her!
Always.. money.. money.. money!
Is money more important?
- Will you get everything for money?
Will Manu also become like that?
Like what?
Like that Srini!
We can't say!
With great difficulty, they got him educated!
Doesn't he have time even to talk to his parents?
When Manu grows up, will he also forget us?
May or may not!
We can't sustain our livelihood depending upon children now!
See to it that they don't lay their hands on us!
If everybody studies well and attain a good position,
then, who will do the other jobs?
Can an IAS officer, iron the shin?
Can a Doctor, make a cot?
So, to do all job; everybody is needed. That's what I say!
Gosh! Did I ask for trouble?
Though illiterate, my mom used to say...
One's hope shouldn't rise high on seeing his kid or a mango ﬂower!”
Now the thing is,
ifs because we have a single plant, we' re eagerly waiting for its fruit!
If we have many plants,
At least one will “Pushpikkum” (blossom), Priya!
Leave me!
May be because I mentioned Pushpa's name!
All my calculations have gone wrong!
Wham more calculation should I see now!Damn it!
That's my Priya!
So, you understood the facts!
Wham I said was.
On seeing this beautiful ﬂower,
will you forget this wild ﬂower!
Ugh! Wham are you trying to say?
You don't have to particularly tell me about you
But I didn't say anything, Meenakshi!
Don't prompt me to use obscene words!
Why the hell did you call that oldie?
I'll be peaceful only if she dies!
Come here, I say! Don't play the fool!
- Will give the rest there!
Don't give work to my hands! Bloody Policeman!
She's a poor thing!
When she gets angry, she will use my toothbrush to clean the toilet,
and not even tell me about that.
In that case, tooth-powder will be better!
Ah!! Yes!
Congratulations! Please come...come.
Luckily, I've escaped!
Amidst such tension also, how do you manage to stand at the Traffic signal?
Shall we go left?
Wow! Nice Necklace!
Thank you, ma'am!
Okay, when going for an interview,
do you want everybody to observe Theresa's diamond necklace,
or your child?
That's...ma'am...
Don't ever go for a school admission like dressing up for a party!
Your dressing should always be simple, clean and formal!
- Not like this - Sorry, ma' am!
Please!
Sit comfortably!
- Ye$ madam! -Yes! Come!
- Ladies first! - Oh!!
'May I?- Please!
Aravind! Nice shin!
Thank you!
Multicolour checks!
Which colour is this? - This...?
Brown!
- Will Manu be able to tell the colour?
Won't he say?
For interviews, plain shins will be the best!
Wear only solid colours which are easily identified by our child, okay?
All of you, please listen carefully!
You should wear simple, formal clothes and solid colours!
Everyone must observe your child and not you!
- Please keep your mobile in silent mode and keep it in your pocket! - Sorry, madam!
Over there, some will come by bike, some by Toyota, some in BMW
All these are not important!
It's not a competition of status!
Always maintain Eye-contact!
While talking to someone, look into their eyes and speak!
That too with integrity and self-confidence!
Your class ends today! Congratulations!
Best wishes and Best of luck to all of you from me and Shining Stars!
Thanks! Thanks to all of you!
OMG! Time is up!
Whats this? it's getting lame.
Fold up his shin sleeves!
Someone sang tenderly and happily in the ear”
The golden rays will come”
Hence the darkness will vanish”
In the ear...in the ear...”
When the dreams unite in the shell in the depth of the sea,”
You will become a dancing pearl”
By the beauty of the spring season,”
you will sing the song of ﬂowers.”
In the ear...in the ear...”
See, what a big school!
Give me the file
I've a meeting with IG. Please call him for the interview.
I'm sorry, sir. I can't help you.
I've got an emergency.
Sorry, sir! it's impossible.
- Do I' ve to call IG? - it's your wish.
What happened?
When will they call?
I don't know what will happen!
- Why were you late? - There was a heavy traffic block!
Come, dear.
What the hell did you teach her all these days?
No a single question she could answer correctly!
Dear, answer correctly to whatever ma'am asks!
Let me go and ask her.
- I shall also come - No..Don't come and mess it!
All of us are waiting here since a long time!
What did they ask?
They asked hell a lot of questions!! I didn't understand anything.
They want only original certificates!
- Yes, of course! - Asked many other things also!
I didn't face such a difficulty in any other school!
- Don't worry, I'll talk to IG! - As if! Sit down quietly.
Have you taken everything?
O Lord! Hope everything goes well!
You remember everything, don't you?
Son! Get up!
Oh! I'm sorry!
May I..
Good morning!
Oh my God!
Dad!
Take your seat.
Sit!
- Good morning! - Good morning!
Sorry!
- Sorry... - it's okay!
What's your name?
My name is Aswin Aravind!
Very good! So, what is your father's name?
My Father's name is Mr.Aravind T P!
Who is your best friend?
My grandpa!
- Say it in English! - Grandfather!
You can also talk in Malayalam! No issues, 0k?
Ashwin, Who's that who has come along with your father?
'Tag mg'
Who else has come with you?
My mother!
We will talk about relationship!
Haven't you taught him about it?
Who is grandpa to you?
My friend!
Only a friend?
- No - Then?
My best friend!
Your father is your grandpa's - ?
- Is grandpa your mother's father? - Yes
Who is your father to your mother?
- Aravindettan! - Aravindettan?!
Mom, you call dad as Aravindettan at home, right?
You never taught him anything about relationships right?
No! Moreover, we have no relatives who can be called good!
That's ok! Please sit down
Why do you like your grandpa so much?
I will row boat with grandpa,
see ducks.cows..ride in the bullock can
and throw the bait.
Ban?
When it is sunny, we shouldn't throw the bait, othenlvise fish will get burnt!
If we knead the dough and dip it in our fingers, fish will jump to bite it.
Fish is greedy, right?
Can you tell us a story, Ashwin?
Hidimbi's story!
A Demon!..
- Ma' am, file. - It's ok, Mr.Aravind!We'll collect it at the end.
Please sit patiently
Once upon a time, there was a demon in the forest.
That demon's name was Hidimbi!
She's as tall as the tree...!
Rock like face...!
Her eyes are as red as a tomato!
Her teeth are as long as Elephant's tusk!
Tongue is long like plantain leaf!
And ears as big as winnows!
For 10 days, Hidimbi didn't eat anything!
At that time, Demon saw 5 persons sleeping over there.
Who are they?
Those are Pandavas!
Hidimbi began to drool on seeing them
and thought she would have an enjoyable night!
Then, what did Hidimbi do?
Being a demon, she gradually went closer to them
Extended her sharp nails, goggled her eyes,
spread her long ears,
gradually, pace by pace..went closer to them.
Enough, Ashwin!
Who told you this story?
Grandma!
Okay! Submit the documents outside!
Admission results will be declared next week.
Do we've to come here and check the results?
No...No...That's not necessary.
We will let you know when ifs ready. And we have our own procedures
Documents!
- Give it outside. - 0k, madam!
- This is for you! - Thank you
- Bye, see you, ta-ta - Thank you!
What all had I taught him! Plants, Animal; Birds.
It was all a waste!
Fully pre-planned!
No matter what will be the consequences! But I'll not put up my son in a normal school!
That's for sure!
For others, documents were collected inside, is it?
I don't remember anything!
I saw them collecting Theresa's and others certificates inside.
And only our's, outside!!
Are you happy now?
You happily go and bait fish along with grandpa
You will become a good fisherman!
Come on, Priya! What was his mistake?
Oh my God! Hi, Priya! - Noora!
-It's been a long time since we met! Are you fine? - I do!
- This is my shop! - Really? I didn't know.
- Is your husband fine? - All are fine!
- Did Manu receive any letter? - What letter?
Letter from St.Antony's!
No!!
Why didn't you alone get it?
We'd got it yesterday. Even Jenny got it.
So I thought you also got it, and you have come to celebrate it with your son!
No!
Don't worry! It must be a postal delay.
Manu will definitely get through!! He's a smart boy!
Hope so!
Mom, can you put on the battery for me?
Tell dad when he comes.
Please mom..
Get away, Manu!
What did they say when you called up the School?
Seems letters have been sent to all children who got admission!
And if you haven't got it, then it means your child has not got admission!
Did they send letters to all?
Letters have been sent to those who have passed!
May be they would've sent it batch wise!
No! They dispatched it together!
Don't you understand what I say?
Hey! Take off your hand!
May I...?
Damn it! Always say May I !
Only that you have not forgotten!
Do you remember how you slammed the door while getting in for interview?
They would've lost the impression at that time itself.
Then, you slipped the paper and file down!
I'm sure that was the cause for it.
WW I! happens only to us?
- So, his name is not in the final list also! - Yes!!
Then, it will be difficult
Something can happen only if extra-push is given.
That means, if you give money, it can happen Got it?
As there is no other option, I shall somehow arrange it.
His admission is important.
No matter however much it is, please get his admission done!
Okay! I'll take care
What's this, Pushpa? You come at 10 and leave by 11,
and I need to attend to all the chores!
We got a letter today. Alice has got admission in St.Antony's!
God is always with us!
I was after this for a long time!
Doesn't matter! Now Alice's future is safe!
Congratulations! All the Best!
Thank you, Priya!
No, Aravind! Even if you calculate the value of this full stock,
You won't get the price you expect!
Either sell this shop,
or mortgage it!
I don't find any other options in this!
Bro, give me this 2nd medicine.
Shop is closed!
-It's an emergency! - Shop is closed!
- Please. Please - Didn't I say that the shop is closed!
Then, shutter it and get away!
I will sell this shop!
I've been calling you for a long time!
What's it, madam?
Tell Aravindettan that we've gone to meet Deepika madam!
- Meeting whom? - Deepika madam!
Come...Come I say.
- Mom! My leg... - Nothing is wrong with your leg! Come!
Walk fast!
Both of them have gone to meet Deepika madam
Walk fast!
- Mom, my leg really pains! - Will you keep quiet and come?
You are the only reason for all this!
Please walk slowly, mom!
Don't provoke my anger needlessly!
Everyone has got through! Everybody!!
Except him!!
We lost again.
All others have won!
All others!!
Priya, sit down...
Why it happens only to me?
You go and play there
Jenny's son has got through!
Theresa, Mili...all of them got through!
Only my son didn't get through!
Listen to me.
See, this is not anybody's fault! Don't ever say that you've lost!
Don't have such a thought also.
You tried your best!
And Manu also did it!
Didn't we try maximum? isn't that enough?
I struggled a lot for this! You are not aware of it.
And still"?
Mom...are you crying?
Manu, shut up and sit there.
Hey Priya! Whats all this?
What did he do?
Children also have wishes of their own.
But I wished only for this!
Instead of imposing our wishes upon them
parents must find out their wishes and fulfill it, right?
Let them be what they want to become!
Let them do what they want to do!
Let them ﬂy, Priya!
Madam can you please come?
Priya, don't go! Manu, I will be back now.
Dear!
Priya, just 5 minutes! Sorry!
Sorry, Priya!
MY son", Arjun!
He's in this condition for the last 5 yrs!
Arjun, I'll be back now.
He's been lying down after relieving himself!
He feels very much embarrassed during such times!
- Will never let the nurse near him!
I was also like you!
Wished to put him in the best school".
...Give him the best education
and to get him admitted in llT.
Since childhood, he was interested in swimming
But when he grew, I myself discouraged him
I informed the school and took him away from the team!
Would anything happen to him if he goes for swimming was my fear!
IIT Coaching, School Tuition, Vacation classes.
Both of us pushed him for everything.
I couldn't tolerate him coming 2nd in any subject.
That too in the school I teach!
At last, my son..
He must have got fed up of everything.
Because we pressurized him to that extent!
That's why he did like that!
From the 3rd ﬂoor of the School building...
I'm sorry! Sorry, Priya!
Where is Manu?
Where?
He's not here
Madam, a child is going up!
Dad! See “Mazhavil” there!
Mom, I know what is Mazhavil called in English?
Rainbow! R-A-I-N-B..
It is enough if you say Mazhavil, dear!
He got admission in St.Antony's!
That too on merit!
They said our son is smart
Sorry dear!
He got admission!
Principal personally called up and said.
I'm very delighted, madam!
Priya, didn't I tell you? He's really smart!
Not only him, all children are smart!
They said he has also got scholarship etc..
I couldn't understand anything. It was fully in English!
Oh mom! We are getting wet!
Let him get wet! Come on, get drenched!
You are dad's son!!
