There is a man called 'Bear Grylls' who hosts a survival reality show on TV Do you think this is a game? Do you think this is a place to vent out your personal grudges? If you don't know, everyone in the U.S values... ...Hari's expertise more than any of you They even value him more than me! If anything happens to him jobs are at stake Did you try calling his home? They've been informed that Hari got down at the Paravoor station And his bag has reached Trivandrum Paravoor is close by, isn't it? This is Paravoor, near Kollam Do you mean Quilon?

You are over doing it Who is he? His son Who are you? His daughter? - I am- - Yes How will you reach Kozhikode today? Just like how we reached this far from Kollam There is a vehicle going to Kottayam from here Do you want to travel in it? Sorry!! Is there any news about your brother?

Allegations against me is a major conspiracy My party and I believe I can prove it too Sir, if the court proves othenuise will you approach the High court?

I was at home till yesterday I'm a social worker and these strikes don't bother me Where are you going to now? - Who is this? - I don't know, sir! I am on my way to Ernakulam Bishop from Kalaipurackal is in the hospital I'll visit him and get back We are 3 of us Can you take us along with you? Thank you, sir This is the 1st time I am travelling in a minister's car Where is your place in Kozhikode? Ram anatukara Isn't that in the district of Malapuram? It is the border We need to reach Kozhikode immediately That's why I- Sir, road is blocked towards that side So can't we go there? No, sir - What is your name? - Narayani - What about yours? - Hari Krishnan What do you do? FPGA Architect Oh, our future! What about you?

We can drop them at the next junction How do we go from there? Arrange a police jeep for them to go I wonder how long we have to walk You asked stupid questions and spoilt the chance of a lift Leave it...it's okay Hari is safe We've reached Ernakulam Now he can go home by walk easily We were told a vehicle will be here - What for? - For us to travel in - For you to travel in? - Didn't the minister inform you?

Kozhikode I am off to Chaavakaatu Day before yesterday, I've been blessed with a son I just landed from Dubai There is a car coming to pick me up But due to the strike it is stuck somewhere I tried the railway station too There are no trains, either I wonder when there will be an end to these strikes Walk faster Man, didn't I tell you we need not go today? Every Indian citizen has the right to pull in a strike So does the Indian constitution, allow a citizen have the rig ht to... ...obstruct 'right of movement' of a fellow citizen? You are right but nobody is seeing it as an obstruction It calls for a holiday and hence a celebration ls there any chance of getting a vehicle? Strike allover today I wonder if waiting here will be of any use We can only hope Some car is coming Stop...stop...! We came here before you did What difference does that make? Get in soon We have to go urgently Everyone has their urgency tiff "As a song be with me once more on this silent journey" "Memories rush to hide like flowering tress left behind" No, don't get into that "Strange shores and miles unknown must be crossed in this torrid zone" tiff "Will you walk with me even if breeze doesn't accompany?" "As a song be with me once more on this silent journey" tiff "Rhythms that never ceased played on the heart strings" "Step by step we progress our unexplored desires" "As a path perceived by the burning eyes Faces and expressions fade as time flies" "At the destination as each journey ends like a burdened shoulder a new one extends" tiff "Will you walk with me even if breeze doesn't accompany?" "As a song be with me once more on this silent journey" "Will you walk with me even if breeze doesn't accompany?" - What do you do, Hari? - I am FPGA architect ls there any technology to catch fish easily? Let us rest for a while and then continue Sit down Fooled you...! From where did you get it? Where did you run off to? How can you leave the child alone like this? I was busy with some work That's why I didn't realize Go to your mother Looks like you all have travelled a long away!

Tell me How did you get a baby if you had no common language? Why do we need a language for that? We've achieved the impossible Isn't this do-able?! What do you want to ask Lajju? Ask her what she likes about me - ls that all? - Yes, that's all Lajju, what do you like about him? I like his moustache So cute - She likes your moustache - Oh! Really...? Look at this Try smelling it Coffee powder Just imagine Vyom and Lajju's situation Without a common language to communicate Actually, it is ideal They'll both have peace of mind!
