I got a taxi till Coimbatore. Are you coming or not? Sruthi! Uncle! Uncle, why are you here? Business tour What are you doing here? What to say? Hostel was closed due to student strike. Now, no bus too. I am waiting for train. Come on, get in. lwill drop you. It's ok, I will walk. Uncle, I will walk. No need. Just get in. We will talk aftenlvards. See, the protestors are almost here. Let's go fast, come. Sit inside. Sit Inside. Well, are you going to make me your driver? Ok, No problem for me. As you wish. It's all dirty there. Yesterday, a friend was with me. He is a dirty fellow. Better you sit here. Ok. That's a good girl. Once I am back home, need to give this carfor servicing. - Shall we gothen? - Ok To tell you the truth, I don't like those who make my car dirty. But this guy is so close to me, like your father. Will you get any train if we go to the station now? I don't know. Let's go and see. Uncle, where are you going? Are you on the same route? You are lucky. I am also going to Kozhikode. Well, you don't have to run for the train. Really? Of course. Uncle, do you live here? No, I came here for business matters. - I do tea business. - Ok. I am on the way to Kozhikode after that. That's when I saw you. Then shall I call my dad? No, lwill call him. Let's give him a surprise. Your dad is not picking the phone. Then let me call Mom. Mom! It's me. Yes, here hostel has been closed due to strike. There isn't any bus. Me? I met Uncle Krishna Kumar here. Uncle is also going on the same route. Give me. Hello, It's me. I appeared at the right time. Did you call Vijayettan? Ican't reach him over phone. Is there any trouble due to strike? Nothing to worry about. I will take care. Ok. Fine. Tell Vijayan when he is back. Ortell him to call me. My daughter... I will take care of her. Ok then. Finefine. Mothers are always worried. But your mother is very brave. The people of Thalasseri are very brave. People of Thalasseri Vadakara are the descendants of Unniyarcha, right? How about you Sruthi? Are you like Mom or Vijayan of Kozhikode? He he... Hello, where have you been? I looked for in the whole college. The hostel has been closed. No buses running. - It's a friend. - Ok. Let m e ask. Uncle, there is a friend of mine, to Kozhikode. Fflend? Boyfriend? Hey, nothing like that. Can't we take him also with us? No, it's not possible to go back now. We are already out of town. College is nearby only. I agree, but even if we go back, we will be going right in front of the protestors. If you are ready to face the stones, we will go. Dude, the protesters are there everywhere. We already travelled a long distance. Ok, with uncle, Umm... Who is that friend, your classmate? Yes, a family friend Do you know dad's friend Uncle Philip? He is uncle's son, Sam. Boys will find some way to go, but you girls will be in trouble. - It's not secured. - Mmmm Still, what will he do now? Did you eat something? Uncle, I don't want anything now. Didn't you put seat belt? Overthere, you need to lock. Else it will go on beeping. It's a cool car. You have got GPS? You can set the route, right? I don't need any GPS. I know all the routes in this place, Just like the lines on my hand. Oh, it is a 6-hour drive. So, what? I am ready, aren't you? Won't you get tired, Uncle? Then you can drive. Hey, I don't know how to drive. You can learn it easily. This car is automatic. Iwill teach you. A smart girl like you will learn to drive just with this single trip. - Really? - Yes. Onion chicken is ready! - Ohh. - Here... Ijust remembered when Vijayan called. I had asked him to do one thing. Who? Vijayan? No, KK. What thing? That is an important matter. Why do you want to know? Oh, I know, I know. It is this, right? - If not? - Yes. If not? Hello! Is it wrong number? Sounds like a girl. Hello, Isn't this Krishna Kumar's number? Yes, Uncle has gone outside. May I know whose calling? Dude, It's a girl. She said that uncle has gone outside. Uncle? Nowadays girls call him as uncle. Uncle! Hehe... Hello! Who is that? I am KK's friend Ok, I will tell uncle when he comes back. Fine, Fine, Thank you. KK is a smart man. One should live like him. What is your opinion? But how does he trap these young girls? That's what I don't understand. Have you understood anything? Yourjob is to make money selling poisoned apples and grapes. But his job is to taste poison-free grapes and apples. Correct. Uncle, you got a call. Did you attend it? Yes, he said he will call later. Sruthi, why did you attend my call? Ithought... What did you think? It's not fair. Sorry Uncle. Ithought it was an emergency call. What emergency? People will keep calling. Did you tell who you are? Mmm... When we were studying in college, we used to call him by a name Sree Krishnan. Forget that now. From now on we will call him ,A6Uncle'. Still it was the voice of a lovely bird. Hey, what is this? I wasjustjoking, Silly girl. Hey.. Come on! Sorry uncle. Don't be cross. If you are sad, this whole trip will be spoilt. Come on, lwill say sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry.. Or I will do one thing, I will remove its lock. Here... No. Don't say like that. Here, lam giving you permission to attend all the calls. Enough? Come on! Cheer up! Come on! You don't look nice when you cry. Come on! Cheer up! Laugh, laugh, laugh" Ok? Ok.. Me at your mercy, ok? That's great! Mummy, Dad is here! Dad, sister will come home today. There is some strike there. Is it? Who told you that? I saw in TV. Big strike is going on. Dead For you. Thanks Will Sruthi come today? Yes, she had called you. She said you didn't pick the phone. When? I didn't see that. How will you? You are too busy in office. She called me. Some strike going on in Tamil Nadu. They even put a busto fire. The news was there in TV. Move your leg! (News reporting in TV) What is the issue? Do they need any specific reason for strike? The college and hostel are all closed. She is coming back. Is she coming by bus or train? There was no bus. Luckily, she got a lift in Krishna Kumafs car. He is also on his way to Kozhikode. Hearing that only, I was relieved. Who? Your Kichu. He said he couldn't reach you over the phone. Right, there was a missed call from his number. - Have they started? - Yes, Itold herto. It's Tamil Nadu, she will be in trouble othenlvise. Uh, she could have called me. But you were not reachable dear. She told me, then what's the problem? - Hello! - Hello Sruthi! Yes Dad, I tried to call you, but couldn't reach you. - When? - Not me, it was Uncle who called. Couldn't you come with your friends? How did they come home? They all left yesterday itself. I had lab practical today. Where have you reached now? We? Uncle! Where are we now? It's Kallatti, Kallatti You givethe phone to Krishna Kumar. Uncle is driving. I will put the phone to speaker. Dude, big issue is happening here. Luckily, I met your daughter on the way. Hey, don't worry man! I will take care of everything. Ok, that I know. Then what is the problem? We will reach there in no time. Yes Dad, Uncle is driving with high speed. Ok, Kichu, I have something to tell you. Dude, lwill call you. Dad, I will call you later. - You are early today. - I know. There's something. - What? - I understood. Then? Dude, nothing for me? Did you finish everything? - I have saved some for you. - Ok. See who is at the door - What happened? - Sorry, I forgot my car key. - Oh, it's ok. - Bye. Hey, do you want me to introduce her? No need. This is for us. (TV news reporting) Aren't you going to bath today? Which route are they coming? You don't need to tell KK about the route. Last time, you only brought the tea leaves which KK had brought from Ooty. It will take 7-8 hours via Coimbatore It is faster via Gudalloor. You don't have to worry thinking about that. KK will take care of it. Anyways let me call her. - Dear! - Yes. - Please reduce the volume. - Ok Uncle, your brother in law is calling. That's how I call your dad. Take the call. Brother in law! What's up? Which way are you coming? We may take any route. It is longer via Coimbatore. Notjust that, lot of problems happening in Tamil Nadu. They won't allow to go through Batheri, wild life conservation. That's why I asked. Dude, lwill take care of it. We will cross Wayanad before night. See, don't drive too fast. Dad, Uncle has got good control, Not like your drive. Uncle, You go fast. Where have they reached? What happened? Still you could have asked. About which route they are coming? My dear! Dad is like that, always tensed. He is like that since he was young. How about you? Do you feel tensed? For what? To travel with me? You are not going to eat me. Why should I be tensed? Don't get tensed unnecessarily. Not that, there are many routes from Ootty to here. You only said that KK knows all the routes in this world. They can come from Gudalloorthrough Meppazhi. Don't worry.. Or they can come via Coimbatore, to Palakkad, Yes, that's easier. Dear, they will make it though some route. Usually, how do you go home, by bus ortrain? Igo by bus. Do you go by Gudalloor-Nilambur route or Gudalloor-Wayanad route? Gudalloor-Wayanad route, that's easier. We can see nice sceneries, and there are so many monkeys in the pass. Then you can cross the pass visiting your relatives, right? Hmm, don't tease me. I was justjoking. Leave that. Otherthan monkeys, do you like to see the forest with elephants, tigers and lions? Well, who doesn't like forest? Are you scared to go through forest? I have a little fear. But as you are with me, it is ok. That's it. That's a good girl. Girls should be Iikethat. Then we will go by another route. Which route? Just see, we will take a turn from here. The newspaper boy is here, where is yourwallet? - What? - Wallet. You told that you wanted to go out, aren't you going? - Dear! - Yes. Do you know that girl from Kunnamkulam, who studies with Sruthi? Who? Resmi? Yes, Resmi. How is she coming back? You do onething, call her and ask. Hello Aunty! Dear, where have you reached? Aunty, I am at home only. Then, you didn't have class today? My classes were finished yesterday itself. I came back home. What happened? - Just heard that some strike is happening there. - Yes, that's right. Sruthi told me about it. Has she reached? - No. - Ok. Ok then. She has reached home, she didn't have class yesterday. Vow, what a beauty! I have never been through this route. Boys have been. Why couldn't you go with them? That path is too twisted. Uncle, now we need to descend this whole pass, don't we? We don't have to; the car will descend. See, how beautiful you look. You want to try? Here you go. - Where should I click? - Here. - Try the landscape! - Hehe. It's beautiful! I will take it. Here. Hey, Isn't your photography over yet? I can't be at peace when my car is dirty. If we take care of car, it will also take care of us. It is also a living thing. What, this cal'? What else? Me and my car are like that with each other. Vow, nice smell! This is just an air freshener. There is another one which is very aromatic. Here! It's for gents, but that's ok. How's it? Uncle! Iwill kill him! Don't you have eyes on yourface? No Sir, nothing happened. Just a touch up with paintwill do. This car cannot be painted like yours. What to do? Give him 100 bucks and Ieavethis place. Ok sir, shall I give you 100 bucks? Do you know how much this car cost? It will cost about 10000 bucks just to paint it. Are you asking for 10000 bucks? Why do buy such cars? If it was a smaller car, it would cost you only a small amount. I will decide which car I have to use. You don't advise me about it. Sir, you only came through wrong side, then why are you shouting at us? Don't argue, you came through wrong side at the turn. Come on Uncle, let's go. He hit the car and still arguing with me. We will com plain to the police. Go and complain to the police! You can leave only after the police come here. Ok, Go! Sir, what is this? It's just a small mark. Leave it! The whole road is blocked. Please Sir, please. - Come Uncle. - Take your car and leave. His damn car! Hello, can't you go ahead? After hitting on my car, he is defending himself. Leave it, Uncle. They are poor people. They are poor, that's why I let them go. But my car! It's my only loyal friend. What? The car got hit? Then? Itjust got hit, no, jerked with a truck. Did something happen? No Dad, there's just a small scratch. Vijayan, some paint is gone, you know how I take care of my car. Ask her if she ate something? Ask her if she ate something? Did you eat something? No, I didn't eat anything. Ok, do one thing, you can eat after reaching here. Anyways, you should be reaching here soon. Hello, Sruthi! Dad, lwill call later. Ok, fine. Brother, what's there to eat? Lentil vada, and pappad vada. Fresh vada is there, do you want to try? Isn't there anything else? There is pizza and burger, isthat fine? Here you can get only these, eat if you want. It looks a bit... It's not like that, it's very nice and clean. Do you eat only pizza and burger at home? I eatthat from outside as I can't get it from home. Here! Pizza and burger! Here only these are available. Eat if you want. Pass me the soda. Pour it in this also. Ok, Iwill. Hello, what's up? Nowadays, you don't need us? It's Vijayan. Full quorum is here. Santhosh, Johnson and Hameedikka are here. - Ask him to come here. - Come here man! No Vishwa, I called to ask about Kichu. - KK? - Yes, KK. What happened to him? Did he get into any trouble? He might have got trapped in some scandal. If he got trapped, he knows how to get out of it. He's a clever man. Has KK got any estate in Ootty? In OOtty? Estate? No way! All his business is there in Mumbai. - Hey, what's the problem now? - No problem. Ididn't hear about him for some time. That's why I asked. Yesterday also, he called me. He's travelling all the time. He's single, Dear Vijayan, Money makes the world go around. If Menon is in Ootty, then it will be a big bash... Vijayan, what's so urgent now? Nothing Dude. I couldn't reach him on phone, that's why. Nowadays, you are his close friend. He doesn't contact us when he comes here. Only you are needed. No, you tell me. I called to ask which way you are coming? Via Wayanad. Via Wayanad? Dude, should I call him? No, I just asked. Then aren't you coming here? No, I am not coming. I have some guests here. Then it's ok. It's Vishwan. He's asking whether I would go there. Why? Are you going to party with them? No, I am notgoing. Today, there is Johnson's party. Hmm, Like the other day, when you got drunk and couldn't even drive. That day, KK's driver was there to drop you. If you want, drink here itself. Iam not going. Well, Sruthi had called. They are coming via Wayanad. - Via Wayanad? - Yes. - Where have they reached now? - I don't know. - Couldn't you ask? - I didn't ask. Hey! Hello! First remove that thing from your ears.

You went to restaurant and got drunk and came back very late. At least today I need to give him dinner. - Is Chapati and chicken ok? - Yes. The man who camethe other day, likes fish. Is it? Ok then you go and buy some good fish. Before you leave, could you please take that thing from the top. Do you know what it is? This is the dinner set he brought from Dubai last time. - Let him be the first person to use it. - Mmm.. - You buy fish from Puthiyappa. - Ok It is fine to send girls with yourfriends, but just remem ber that she is your daughter. Where are you now? Somewhere. Isn't it Sruthi? Won't reach here before night? But we are only reaching Masanagudi. But isn't that a longer route? Yes, a little bit. But do you know what a beautiful landscape it is? Dude, drive a bit faster. It's already evening. You should reach here by night. Lakshmi is cooking something special for you. Then we will be there in no time. But dude, my car will be ruined ifl drive fast through this bad road. Let me see. Give the phone to my daughter! Hello! Hello! Oh, it got disconnected. Uncle, look, it's Nisha. - Hello! - Hello! Iwill call you back, Ok? Come on! The fish is very fresh. Shall I pack this? - What's the price? - 500 bucks. Ok, let me weigh it. Come! Different types of fish here! Come! Fresh fish. Come, Come - Hey Vishwa! Isn't that your phone which is ringing?- Oh! Your wife may have reached. Koyakka, please cut this. It is not my wife, it's Vijayan. What's up Vijayan? Are you coming? - I couldn't reach KK over phone. - ls it? Did hetell you that he is coming this evening? No, I don't think he will be coming today. Dude, do you think KK might come today? No way. No dear Vijayan. KK is a clever guy. He peeked a little bird and flew away. You put the phone down and look here. He flew and flew and flew away. Shall I cut into half? Shall I? Hello, Vijayan Sir! Didn't you bring your cal'? Icameto buy fish. I don't want my carto smell with fish. Oh, I don't think like that. We, Malayali people build toilets in bedrooms. Then what's bad about taking fish in a cal'? These architects, they always talk connecting things together. You, electricity people always use words like connection, high tension, blowing fuse. Ijust remembered one thing when I said high tension, You should help me to change the high-tension line passing above my factory. It's been a long time since I gave the request. Nothing happened yet. Hey! What happened to you? Looks like the high-tension line is passing above your head. Dears, Sri Krishnan is here! Man! Where were you? We have been waiting so long. See, duty free bag, I told you guys he will come here directly. Bapputty! Bring the glasses and soda. It's here already. Tell dude, who did you peck during this trip. Ijust doubt if he peeked or he got peeked. Vijayan, ifthe hook is good enough, any fish will bite. - Correct! - Isn't KK? Yes, the hook should be good. You are lucky, man! You guys carry on with yourfamily responsibilities. Look at me, still a bachelor, no luggage, enjoying every bit of life. Hey, who was your bait in Delhi this time? When he lands in Delhi, who else will be there? But she should be very old now. Yet this man is not getting old. Not that dude, recently her husband passed away. Ifl go there, she will be on my head. That's right. Freedom will be gone. He can't do that. Note the point! - Cheers! - Cheers! Dude, please teach your technique to us too. Did you evertry those techniques which Itaught you before? What man! Hey, did KK study with us? He studied Pre-degree with us. That's fine. Dude, whatever close yourfriends are, you should tell your wives about them. Oryou will be in trouble. - What you said is correct. - Leave it. Couldn't you reach your daughter over phone? She's reachable on phone, but Muthanga check post will be closed at 9pm. That's right. It will be closed. So, they can't reach here by night. Sometimes they might reach, but I am not very sure. She could have taken any of classmates with her. Is there anyone like that? Her classmate... Don't get tensed. Nothing will happen. Anyways, she is available on phone. That's right, but how can I be not tensed? I can understand. Me too, father of two girls. Don't make Lakshmi also worried. Call me ifthere is something. Don't be tensed, I am telling you, don't worry. Dad has told me. What? - That you were a Romeo in your college. - Me? If you have this much glamour now, what it would have been in those days? Uncle, how many children do you have? - Children? Me? - Yes. How many could there be? Sruthi, you tell me that, think and answer. Oh Nelson! Lakshmi, we have guests. Not guests, it's us only. Brother Vijayan, Celine has got the labour pain. She is at her house now. I have to go there urgently. I don't want to leave Mom alone at home. Nelson, what are you saying? We will take care of your Mom. You go peacefully. It's not a big thing. Mom will stay with us. Give that to me. You relax and go. Celine won't have any problem. Here! Mom, what's this? Sister, don't you know her nature? She won't go empty handed anywhere. She bought so many things from that bakery, saying it's for your daughter. - That's my habit. - Ok ok. Saying it's for your daughter, she bought everything for herself only. You go and take care of Celine. Iwill be back soon. Please call us if there is something. - Sure sister. - Alright. - See you Brother Vijayan. - Call if you need something. Let's go. Mom, you please sit. I will be back in a minute. We both can eat this together. Where is Sruthi? She is on the way. Why didn't you ever bring Aunty to our house? Why should I spoil my mood saying all that? So, kids? No? I have a kid now, to pamper. I am happy. - How are you? - Yes sir. Give me one packet. How much is it? 50 bucks. 50 bucks. Fine. Do you know what it is? Aren't they grapes? No, wild strawberries, wild java berries. But 50 bucks is a lot. I never bargain with street vendors. If it is my Dad, he will bargain. That's the Malayali mind-set. Don't eat like that, wipe it first. It was kept on the road, it might be dusty" Don't eat everything yourself, share with me too. Don't swallow the seeds. Let the berry trees grow all along the way. You know what will happen if you swallow the seed? It will grow in yourtummy and you will turn into a big tree. Then lwill pluck the berries from the Sruthi tree and eat them. That's a good idea. Look, looks like you have put on violet lipstick. - Is it? - See. Uncle, look here. Let's take a selfie. There is a song in Malayalam, "The girl is very black," "Her body is well shaped" "She's the lovely daughter of forest" "As beautiful as a berry." "The sesame black is only outside" "lnside she is gorgeous" Am Ithat black? I didn't say you are black, it's the lyrics of the song. Then you tell me, what is my colour'? Why should I say that? You ask your boyfriends. - I don't have any boyfriends. - That's a lie. - Really. - Really? Oh Uncle I know there should be so many guys after you. Tell me, am I black? I didn't say you are black. But I am not fair also. It would be a lie to say you are fair. Not fair, I know. Is it brown? Neither black nor fair nor white, you are beautiful, isn't that enough? - Not enough. - Then? Tell me Uncle. - Shall I say? - Yes, agreed. Not black, not white or brown. You have the colour of berries, nice wild berries. Wild Strawberries... Wild strawberriesmhehe. Yes, haven't you heard? It's the famous movie of Ingmar Bergman, Wild Strawberries. Wild strawberry! It's so quiet here as Sruthi is not here. When will she reach? She will be here at night. Some strike is happening there. Oh, then there is no class? No, do you want to watch serials? - Sreya will play it for you. Sreya! - Yes. - Can you turn on the TV for Mom. - Ok. Watching serials every day, it became a habit. Don't you watch? I don't have time to watch, so much of work to do here. Nowadays, there is no use of these servants, we have to do all the cooking. - Did you come late today? - No - Did you come on time? - Yes. Just asked as you are washing clothes in the evening. Why are you cutting so much? Are there any guests? Vijayettan's friend is also coming, Sruthi is coming on his car. I thought you are preparing it for me. Mom, you should meet him, he is ajolly man. Is it? Where is he from? I don't remem ber where he is from. Vijayettan said he is a big business man. He stays in Taj, whenever he comes to Kozhikode. Then he drops Vijayettan here at night only. Grandma, the serial has started. I am coming. I don't remem ber where I kept it. Mom, you watch TV. I gave it to him. Where did he keep it? Dead Mom, what are you searching for? I had brought a parcel when I came. - I thought you were looking for it. - I don't know where that boy kept it. Yea, that's it. I have the habit of munching something while watching TV. Take it dear. Let's take it there and eat. Don't raise your sugar level. No no. Come. - Hello. - I can't get Vijayan on phone.Where is he? When we reach there, the post will be closed. Then we will have to come through Iritti. That's along route. Oh, so what shall we do now? One of my relative lives nearby. That, that will not be fine. You ask Vijayettan. Nothing to be scared of, I am with her. Ok, lwill give the phone to Sruthi. - Hello. - Dear, I will tell Dad. - Call me once you reach there. - Ok Mom. Is there any problem? No Mom, I will call once we reach. - Fine. - Bye. No, that can't happen. It is impossible. I have only one word, and I have told you that. Bye. - Just because I said, don't make it a habit. - Hey! Dear, he said that the check post will be closed. So, they will stay with a relative today and will start tomorrow. All this food that I cooked is wasted now. Hey, why didn't he tell me about it? Maybe he didn't want to stop you from buying fish. Did he call you? Yes, he did. That's why I could tell you that now. - How about Sruthi? - She also talked. I told her it's ok, nothing to worry, as he is Dad's close friend. Isn't it true? Still, you could have told me about it. I thought I will tell you when you are here. I can't reach her, you call her now. I also called. It's out of range. Hello, are you sleepy? No. If you are not sleepy why are you yawning? Do one thing, Sleep straight and be comfortable. I will make it right, enough? Ok? Ok? Hi Nelson! Vijayetta! There isn't any problem. Is Mom nearby? Iwill give it to her. Lakshmi! Why are you sitting without turning on light? I forgot. It's Nelson, phone call for Mom. Viiayerra! Vijayetta! Will you please call Lakshmi sister? - Lakshmi! - Yes. Suhra is calling you. Hey, what is this? Isn't daughter coming today? I have cooked some chicken curry. Oh, I have cooked here. - She likes it, that's why. - Fine. Suhra made special curry for Sruthi. Whatever it may be, the ladies of Kozhikode are expert cooks. We can never reach up to them. - Lakshmi! - Yes. One of your relative lives in Gudalloor area, a pepper business man? Why do you need pepper now? To put in curries? Not that, it's already dark. It will be very difficult to drive through that forest now. I was thinking about your relative, what is his name? - Who? Vinayan? - Yes Vinayan. We will do one thing. Let Sruthi stay there today. We will go and pick her tomorrow morning. KK is with her, then what's the matter? He might in a hurry, he need to take care of business matters. In the midst of that to take care of our daughter, Why to trouble him? You are a clever man. What did you do when Vinayan and Mini visited here after their marriage? You just walked out ofthe house. You didn't even talk a word to them. You have no respect for my family. And now you are telling our daughter to go there and stay with them? What kind of a man are you, Vijayetta? When it is your own daughter's matter... You go and find the phone number. I don't have their number. Notjustthat, last time she left this place getting really angry. And now you are asking me to send our daughter there... Oh my god! Ok hang the phone, hang it. Celina has no problem. Seeing his tension, one may think he is having labour pain. Seems it's not cut, see. Hi Mini, I am Lakshmi. Hello! - Why didn't you accept the call? - I just slept. Where have you reached? I can't understand. It's really dark. Look at some shop's board, the name of place will be there. There aren't any shops here. - Who is that? - It's Dad. Dude, we got lost in a forest. - Forest? - It looks like forest. - Dear, you do one thing. Haven't you reached Muthumala now?-Yes. Our Mini lives nearby there. Where do they live? I don't know any ofthem. Now Uncle is there with me. He has got some business matters. Is it? Are you in a hurry, uncle? Dude, I am not in any hurry. Don't worry about that. Not that man, there is Lakshmi's cousin sister... Why do you want to depend on these distant relatives, when I am here? Not that, I already told them. They are in Muthumala. But we already passed Muthumala. You tell them that we already passed Muthumala. Hey, I already told them. It's ok Vijayan Yes Dad, we will have to drive back fora long distance. We will come straight. Uncle is with me. - What I am saying is... - Okthen. Hello. Truly you don't want to go and stay with your relatives, right? How did you know that, Uncle? Me? That I know. First of all, I don't know any ofthem. I haven't even seen them. Then how can I go and stay with them? - Yes, you are right? - Isn't it? Another evidence was seen in the heaven. A giant red snake with seven heads, ten horns and seven royal hair on the head. Its tail swirled and threw down the stars in the sky to the earth. The giant snake waited in front of the pregnant lady to eat the baby, as soon as it was born. Jesus! It gives me peace of mind when I read the holy bible. May be because it is a habit since childhood. Dear, please call Nelson. Sruthi hasn't reached yet? No, they are on the way. Who did you say, is coming with her? KK, my friend.

What if they are some thieves disguised as police. So, aren't they real police? Who knows? Anyways, because we said we are a family, they let us go. Some lies are for good. Dear, where have you reached? Is it your Mom? I will talk. Trouble came after we crossed Gundalpettu. Check post is closed, because of wild life conservation.

Have you heard about a story of me and your dad digging a pond? Lake?! Where? Tell me It was during our college days Shobindran Master was in charge of National Service Scheme You know Master? Of course! My dad's master! With green dress, Green Cap and on a Green bike, isn'tthat Master? Iknow him well Suddenly one day Master pondered, Why wild Elephants attack human settlements and agricultural lands? He did a research and found a reason That, on the passage to the lake where Elephants go and drink water Is Where human settlements and their agricultural lands are located lf any other alternative solution is made to resolve Elephants' water problem, Then menace of Wild Elephants straying into human settles areas can be reduced, is what he studied for that. We decided to dig a pond With the help of our National Service Scheme Students, Villagers and master Dug a pond somewhere close by A Very big one! And on the subsequent year after rainfall, pond was filled with water! But neither Elephants came to drink water Nor stopped straying into human settlements and Agricultural lands When I thought of it deliberately, those Elephants weren't aware about the water presence here So someone's suggestion was to put a board over there JlifiHere Elephants' drinking water is availableJ-iil with an arrow markl! And in a hustle Shobindran Master put a board there Still neither Elephants came to drink water nor stopped the attacks - Why? - Why? It was because Elephants don't know how to read Malayalaml! That spot is somewhere closer - Shall we visit? - Certainly Won't Rasheedikka reach next week? As there is hectic work now He promised to come during festival! That must be Sruthi! I will be back now Yes dear! Where have you reached? On the way, mom - On the way it seems! - ls it? With whom are you talking, mom?
