"I reached Rajamadai at the break of dawn." "That time I heard bus people saying that he fought at the fair." "Lord is a poor man." "He got spoiled after he became friendly with Manickam." "Don't tell him that I told you all this." "Why did you bad mouth Manickam?" "Just because he's bad." "He's also a servant here." "But he thinks he is the lord here." "Only after he's chucked out form here this family'll be saved." "Watch..." "I'll tell Manickam about it." "I don't care..." "Why should I be scared of him?"

"He's number cart driver in the entire market." "But, he'll demand more money." " Money isn't the problem at all." "But, I must win the race." "Madam.." "Don't give importance to his words" "Oh Last Pongal, he boasted broughta bull." "After the race, Manickam won." "Whatever it is, our bull didn't lose to Manickam's bull." "We lost our honour as well as the bet, 100 acres of land." "I'll not allow him inside if our bull fails this time." "Rajaiah, give him whatever he requests." "Oh God, he's coming." "Why did you come here?" "You always come here by having a bag under your arms." "There're many things here for you to take and go, aren't they?" "Junior Lord'll be having betel leaves in the box." "Get me a betel leaf." "It's long since I chewed Thulasi Betel leaves." "My tongue is salivating." "Hey, even my tongue is itching." "I'll give you a betel chew it and quit the place." "I'll go only after celebrating Pongal with junior lord and Yashodama." "That's good." "You've decided to stay here for 6 days and eat rich food." "Then, you'll find tobacco in Jr.Lord's box." "Lime'll be as sweet as honey." "Bring even that while you bring the betel." "I had heard that some graze cows in other's fields." "Now, I've seen it myself." "This isn't your father's field, right?" "Hey, if you talk about my father." "What'll you do if I talk about your father?" "Just say it once again." "Your father is a beggar, shameless creep." "Agreed?" " Yes." "is it?" " Yes." "It's enough, if I know that." "What was the bitter arguments between father and son?" "Things are okay." "But he's going bit too far." "What happened?" "Mother, I've a only sister, right?" "He comes here very rarely." "Then, What's the purpose of his coming here alone without her?" "It's very long time since I've seen her." "That's right, you could've brought Chinnu with you." "I've also seen her a very long time ago." "Next week she is having exams, that's why." "Yes, after finishing her exams, she'll... lf l stay here any further..." "He said so, out of worries." "You don't take his words serious." "Oh God...." "When I see him bossing here I really feel very happy." "Working here, in Madambi palace." "is there any other job more valuable than this, in the world." "I've experienced it personally, haven't I?" "Those times have gone." "Srikrishnan came here after selling the palace  the house." "I opposed but he was very insistant about it." "Can't blame him." "She did injustice to you." "Though he's your brother, you brought him up in the place of mother." "Then could he bear it?" "A Gandhari..." "She's not Gandhari(noble) but Kali (evil)." "Tell her that Kannaiya." "She still has some soft corner for them." "They're her husband's people, aren't they?" "You don't talk nonsense." "I don't have soft corner for anybody." "Only your words are important to me." "After us," "Don't we need an heir to take care of all this?" "That's why, I asked you to marry." "Many proposals had come." "You refused to marry." "I had asked whether you've somebody in your mind." "You said 'No'." "Kannaiya, do you know how many vows I had taken for his marriage." "Now I've grown old sister." "It'll be wrong if I talk to you." "Kannaiya, come to the backyard if you want anything." "Regarding your marriage, I'll marry...you've someone?" "If you want to marry, then decide soon." "After you lose your pick up then..." "What?" " l said if you lose your pick up, nothing will work out." "I'll give you a blow." "Did you see?" "Mani got me this to wear on Pongal." "Do you know how since when he is going to the fair?" "20 years." "All these years, I go to the temple, wearing the dress he gets me for pongal." "I've kept them safely." "I kept him here when he was 4." "Even I feel jealous of the love you've for him." "I'm worried only about Sri Krishna." "He lives for me, not for his own self." "He's involved in all of his tricks." "He can't advise him even for good things." "Hey girl....after Kannaiya finishes eating wash these vessels too." "Chinnamma, do you've anything to say?" "I'm telling you truth." "This is my child." "Other than him, I haven't had any sex with my other man." "Even he's right when he asks." "You and your husband have dark complexions." "How did you deliver a fair baby?" "What do you think?" "Your decision is our decision." " l'll decide." "We the panchayat believe that she's lying." "She's making her husband responsible for the child fathered by someone." "We've to shave her head,make her sit on a donkey  hit her." "And take her around the village." "This is the decision of the panchayat." "I've not committed any adultery." "Has any one got to say anything about this." "May any one got any objections?" "Yes, I do have." "Without knowing the truth, you mustn't punish this girl." "What do you mean?" "I mean that you can't punish tell her crime is proved." " Yes." "Panchayat has gathered here." "To know how did they beget a fair child when both of them are dark." "Madam Gandhari has currently judged that Chemana is at fault." "Can you prove it's wrong?" "If I do.... lf you do...then from tomorrow onwards you be the chieftain." "Or else you'll be taken on the donkey with a shaved head." "Agreed?" " Yes." "Hey Kitappa, come here." "Have it..." " No need." "Have it." "For last 20 years, he didn't know that she had an affair with somebody, right?" "Nobody in this tiny village have a different opinion about Chinnama." "Do you?" "Okay, only on the premises that black  black can not be white," "You've accused her." "But, I'll not let you accuse her under those premises." "What was the colour of the betel leaf l gave him?" "Green right?" "...and the lime's colour was white." "If he doesn't spit out any one of those colours, I'll bash him up to pulp." "Spit man...spit." "Babies will be of fair or dark complexion." "Suspecting your wife by listening to other's..." "Take the baby and go home." "You've saved my honour sir." "You didn't tell me whether I've to sit in your place or on the donkey." "I've relinquished my chieftain's post." "Hereafter, Srikrishnan will be chieftain." "Stop..." "Stop please." "Enough." "Stop." "If Injimuda people win this race what'll Madambi people give?"

"Hey shut up, man." "I've warned you several times not to talk about her." "Enough of counting...." "Give the money." "Boss...." "This time you didn't deliver any items to my shop." "Groundnuts, dry coconut  something else That's your business, right?" "But no use bargaining the price..." "Don't expect anything." "You always think about money." "Have you heard this song Manicka?" " Which song?" "Everybody says that you're a stone hearted person." "Kathu sister, he's not a stone hearted man." "He got into this mess." "I don't think he'll marry anybody in this birth." "Then I'll also not marry." "He has loved me for 10 yrs." "I know, that he'll marry only me if he wants to marry." "That's why, I still wait for him, not whole heartedly." "But now he has only one aim in his life." "To subjugate that Injimuda Gandhari." "You yourself say." "The injustice which Gandhari did to Yasodhama  him, was it fair?" "She got her brother married to Yashodama without revealing that he's mad." "She delivered a baby." "And that mad fellow jumped into the well and died with that baby." "We didn't get even the corpses." "Would the corpses be found if he didn't marry me?" " l didn't mean that." "After that incident Gandhari threw Yashodama out of the house." "Didn't give her the properties too." "That till he subjugates Gandhari, he'll not lead a family life," "He has taken an Oath." "What else can I call it except "my bad luck"." "Okay, aren't you marrying anybody?" "Don't I've to get a girl according to my taste?" "Leave that oldy..." "I'm ready." "I'll give you a blow."

"Can you accommodate them in your house for the time being?" "My father is angry with me for staging a drama." "If I make the artistes also stay there, heavens will fall." "Why isn't the bus not to be seen?" "Bus people have gone on strike suddenly." "How could he say like this?" "We've promised to reach Meenakshipuram tomorrow to stage a drama." "What can we do if bus people strike?" "What'll we do if you talk like that?" "We came for your drama." "It's your responsibility to send us back." "Call a taxi man." "Oh God!" "..." "That'll cost a fortune." "We can't afford it." "Don't play the fool with me." "You'll be in a soup." "Brother, don't shout we're known here." "Then call a taxi man." "I'll think about some way." " Then do it." "By the time you bring the party I'll have toddy and come." "Having toddy isn't the problem." "But you'll not find me if you create trouble." "I've stopped getting beatings, now." "No..." "I'll not create any problems." "You go and come back." "If we leave before dusk we'll reach there day after in the wee hours." "Why do you carry a stick?" " Dogs are troubling." "Last time, they chased me a lot." "Brother, shall we put you in this cart?" "I'll not get into the cart." "You call a taxi, man." "Uncle, lets leave this place somehow." "You be quiet, they can't play the fool with me." "Call the taxi." "Lets take toddy and go." "What?" "Lets take toddy and...." "Load 5-6 bags of paddy in the vehicle." "Brother, she's the one." "What's your name?" "You'll reach Meenakshipuram at dawn." "He agreed just because I said that I'll give the bus fare." "Where's my uncle?" "He'll come back now." "He has also agreed." "Okay, take out the money." "You sit in that cart." "Have it." "Come..." "Not that..." "I don't know who you're." "Karthumbi." " Who Karithupi (spit)on you?" "Nobody spit on me." "I said my name is Karthumbi." "I don't want to know your place or name." "Why're you sitting inside the cart?" " l was told to sit inside." "By whom?" " An oldy." "No oldy is authorised to make you sit in the cart." "Get down you girl." "Then why did he take the money?" " Who?" "An uncle...." " Which uncle?" "I don't know, you find out ...He's in that shop." "Shop?" "He's coming..." "Ask him whatever you want to..." "What?" " Uncle, he's talking nonsense." "You dog, are you using filthy words with a girl?" "Better talk respectfully or I'll kick you." "Did he take money from you?" " Oh God.." "Uncle didn't take money." "You said uncle took." "Who's he?" " He's my uncle." "You said that he didn't take the money." "It's true that I said uncle took money from me, but..." "When did I take the money from you?" "Oh God!" "I didn't say that you took money." " She said that you took money." "I didn't tell you that my uncle took money." "Then which uncle took money?" "Hey liar, you're lying?" " lf you call me a liar..." "Then do I've to call a liar, a truthful person?" "Whatever I told you is true." "He's my uncle." "Another uncle took money from me." "I got into the cart only after he told me that this's his cart." "Okay leave that..." "Who're you to ask all this?" "Who am I?" "If you don't know who you're..." "then ask me who you're." "I'll tell you who you're." " Uncle." "Ask me whether I know me." "That time I'll tell you who you're and who I'm." "Uncle..." "Don't talk nonsense after drinking Toddy." "It's my fault to have come with you." "What's the confusion there?" "There..he's the one who took money from them." "Ask him..." "What?" "You had asked me to sit only after taking money from me, right?" " Yes." "Then why does this creep shout at me?" " Hey mind your words." "Can you only talk nonsense to the girls whom you meet on the way?" "You both don't fight." "They're stranded on the road due to the strike." "Since cart was going empty, I asked them to get in by way of help." "Brother, you give me that money." " Which money?" "Give me the money they gave you." "Take back your money..." "Take away your baggages." "This cart'll not go." "I don't want the money back." "Give it back to the one who took it from me." "We'll go only by this cart." "If you hadn't taken the money they would've dropped us." "They said that they would call the taxi." " Uncle be quiet." "Come here." "Think that I've committed a mistake." "Poor fellows." "We didn't lose anything." "I've taken four times of the bus fare." "Atleast we'll use that amount during our journey." "Whatever it's, Bulls will pull the cart." "They'll pull even 2 extra members, what's our problem, please agree." "I know that you'll create a problem as soon as you drink." "I didn't pick up a fight, right?" " But that was better than this." "You got me scoldings from a girl." "You come and get into the cart." "Go, you dog." "Hey call the taxi." "Ask him to sleep quietly." "He's sleeping." "I think, he's from a pedigreed family." "Very good culture!" "You go idiot." "This will not work." "I'll make them get down." "What can I do if he blabbers in sleep?" "You thief pig's mother's sister's, wife's son!" "Why did you stop?"

"Both of them are enacting a drama." "We'll be rebuked till dawn if we leave him like this." "Come here man." " l'll bury him alive." "is he mad?" "is he picking up a fight with the person who's sleeping?" " Shut up." "Oh God!" "This has become a big nuisance." "Picking up a fight at midnight?" "Whatever it is, we've taken the responsibility." "We've to adjust, you get in." "I'll tell you one thing." "If he says anything more, I'll pierce something in his mouth." "I'll put both of them down when I see a light." "If they agree, I'll take the cart or you come by walk." " Agreed, you get in." "Who's that..." " Your father, bloody creep, beggar, nasty fellow." "Brother, sit on his face..." "if I see his face..." "Both are...." "Hey go..." "No noise?" "Both of them be ready to get down." "Prepare 2 strong teas." "Hasn't brother come?" " He has come." "He needn't have tea..." "He's in full booze." "2 troublesome persons have got into the cart on the way." "I'm going to put them down here." "Let them be here till dawn." "Then they'll go by some vehicle tomorrow." "Get down." "Hey, we should behave like humans, shouldn't we?" "Leaving a young girl and an old drunkard on the way at midnight..." "What about their misbehaviour?" "Getting offended by that old drunkard's words.." "What'll that poor girl do?" " Oh God!" "she's not poor..." "She's a chatter box." "Couldn't you forgive her because she said something offensive?" "Even if you try to convince me..." "You don't say anything further." "If your sister Chinnu faces similar situation, will you bear it?" "That's why, I said that they'll not create any trouble." "We'll reach Meenakshipuram at dawn." "You don't take oldy howls seriously till we reach." "What?" "Go and have it and come." "Then...." "l...." "Shall I ask you something?" "What's it?"

"It's me Srikrishnan, standing behind the bullock cart." "Shall I ask you something?" "Nobody will see or hear us." "I'll not get such a good chance hereafter." "That's why...." "Please go ahead." "Do you like me, Thumbi?" "Oh God, why did you ask me that?" "As you think, I'm not so old." "I've not yet married also." "Till now, I've not even thought about a girl." "For the first time, I thought about a girl as soon as I saw you." "I want to know your mind, right?" "Don't you like me?" "Why're you silent?" "You must be feeling shy, right?" "Say it openly if you don't like me." "I'm asking you directly because I'm not used to this." "Oh God, what am I to say?" "Don't say yes, even if you like me." "I'll take your silence as acceptance." "Shall I?" "Don't mistake me." "I considered you as my own brother." "Like my sibling." "I was afraid that you'll put me down from the cart yesterday," "So I kept quiet." "If I've done any mistake..." "forgive me." "Don't have any bad intentions about me." "Since I've told you all this, don't get angry." "Hereafter, smile at me whenever you look." "Only then, I'll be sure that you've understood me." "Don't stand here anymore." "People'll mistake you." "Go... I think they have come." "For drama...." "Yes." "We were very upset." "What to do?" "Bus people went on a strike suddenly." "Anyway you people have reached, right?" "6 'o' clock is the drama." "There's time for one rehearsal." "It's over." "Okay, then shall we take leave?" "Come...." "Shall I take leave, Srikrishna brother?" "Don't know when we'll meet again." "We'll meet...." "We've to meet." "Our journey is via this way, right?" "How's it impossible for us to meet then?" "Okay, lets go." "Every dog has it's own day." "It's like this." "Did you see the power of bullock cart, when there were no buses?" "They think as if they're flying an aeroplane." "Lets go." "Lets go." "Okay, my stomach is upset..." "I'll drink soda  come back." "Oh..." "Have the artistes arrived?" " Yes, they arrived just now." "You put us in lot of tension." "Forget about the club." "I would've been disgraced, if the drama hadn't been staged." "If I, Jr.Boss had invested something and if it goes in vain...."

"You don't do that now with this body pain." "Lets go later and perform it." "Aren't we coming here every month?" "Like postponing Lord Ganapathy's marriage," "Worshiping of Goddess is also getting postponed." "Needn't postpone it even now." "That Goddess might've reminded me of my vow by giving me pain." "She's very powerful, our prayers will be answered immediately." "Don't test her." "Whatever it's, lets perform it." "I've decided." "Oh Goddess Bagavathi!" "Good." "Oh Goddess."

"It seems rain water has flooded the river and the way is blocked." "River?" "I didn't see any river here." "It seems they don't know the way." "How do these people know that water has flooded the river?" "It seems the tribals who had gone to the fair with honey, haven't returned." "They are staying on the other side." "Our state is on that side." "This is Mysore." "Oh God..." "Let my enemies also not face this plight." "They're warning us to move somewhere from here" "Why?" "Because after dusk wild elephants'll be roaming here" "Elephants!" "But it seems elephants will not come near us, if they see the fire." "Hey what're you thinking?"

"He says that you shouldn't be seen in this forest." "If you don't want to spoil your health." "Fall at his feet and seek his pardon." "How can I do it when my hands are tied?" "If mappu(pardon) means dirty meaning also in their language, I'll have to undergo another punishment for that." "It'll be enough, if you say Lellu Allu" "What?" " Lellu Allu." "Lellu Allu...."

"I was slapped by an old lady, tribals tied me  I lost my honour." "You had even teased me for that also." "Only when I came to know its meaning," "Anger, sorrows, shame which I had internalized till then, have externalised." "I didn't do it wantonly." "I never expected that it'll happen like this." "Had I known how to seek your pardon..." " Not necessary." "It's my fault also." "I lied to you that rain water had flooded the river." "When I got angry with you, I planned to torture you for 2 days." "Even I didn't expect that it'll happen like this." "Karthumbi, when you go home..." "No, earlier you had said, "l don't have house nor anything"" "Then... - l had only an elder sister." "Didn't tribals tell you about 'Mallikathu'."

"Even I was about to ask you something." "Forget it." "Shall I take leave?" "Couldn't you call me back once?" "I told you many a times that I don't have anybody with me." "I would've stayed as your servant atleast." "Even then, why would you call me?" "Who am I to you?" "I'm a fool." "It's all because of me. I wished for things unnecessarily." "I suddenly remembered what I wanted to ask you." "Ask me quickly before you forget again." "Do you want to come with me?" "Oh black girl..." "Was there a day when I didn't see you?" "I regretted..." "Oh black girl..." "Was there a day when I didn't see you?" "I regretted that I wasn't born a beetle." "I'm thinking of you in my heart." "Oh pretty girl with a dot...." "your coquettish talks...."

"By plucking feathers, my lover'll come this way." "Manikutta, have you come?" "I was very upset." "Can I believe the words of this liar?" "I had taken many vows." "This mistake has been committed because of the vow we had taken." "Right, brother?" "Okay, who's she?" "Ask the one who was responsible for bringing her." "Srikrishna told me everything." " Did he tell you everything?" "Yes, I've told her everything." "Now listen to what she says." "It seems, she doesn't have a place to go." "So she says that she'll stay here doing some work." "Yes, this's a charitable institution to give shelter to everybody!" "I used all my efforts to put her down from the cart." "But she was very adamant didn'tgetdown." "I feel like bashing her up." "Sister, poor girl." "Lets give her some work here." "You don't cry..." "You stay here." "What is her caste?" " Our caste only." "How do you know her?" "I asked her." "Her father's name is Govinda Nair." " Mother's name is Chovakutty." "You don't create any problem now." "She looks to be from a pedigreed family." "We need a person to do jobs inside." "You come..." "Then, you always create some problems whenever you go to the fair  drink." "Better stop drinking or stop going to the fair." "Oh God!" "My dear sister." "I swear on your head." "No, now I'm unable to lift up my head because of you keep on promising on it." "Manikutta, you come here." "You keep quiet." "You keep your hand on his head." " Oh mother, no...." "Keep your hand."

"Not one elephant...." "But 5 elephants." "This Bull can do the job of 5 elephants." "Lord Srikrishna's bull...." "Bull...." "Open its mouth and see." "Did you see its wide forehead?" "Look at his 8 white teeth." "You'll get the girl whom you wish." "But don't talk about this to anyone till the end of July." "Why?" "You can buy the ornaments after the new moon day." "But don't talk to that girl by your mouth." "Greetings sir." "Do I've to talk with my buttocks if not with the month?" "If you want to ask anything write it down and ask." "Parrot says so..." "You'll not get any girl if you don't comply." "Yes, that's right..." "Her family members may not be interested in it." "Parrot predicted and I've told you." "Parrot's words have come true." "Whatever parrot has predicted for me, has come true." "No other problems, is it?" "How much money do you've?" "Save it, it'll be needed for our marriage." "If you want this money, you marry brother." "This's his money." "Brother is hearing the prediction of parrot." "Parrot?" " Yes, Thimmayan's parrot."

"If anybody sees us..." "It seems made for each other!" "What?" "Romancing man?" "Shall I fix her for you?" "Oh God..." "I don't want." " What's lacking in her?" "What's lacking in Kathu sister-in-law?" "I've warned you many times not to talk about her." "Then you don't talk about this." "I'll talk about that if you start this topic again." "I'll not start that topic, if you don't talk about this, that's all." "Take the money." " Where's Appakalai?" "Hey Appakalai." "What has happened to him?" "Come...." "With saffron on the forehead and waiving his hand," "Lord Srikrishna stands infront of me." "What're you doing now?" "I'm also watching him." "There's some change in his behaviour." "Oh God!" "Brother, where's your Kombu (moustache)?" "What?" " Where's your moustache?" "I've changed away my style," "To trap a new kombu(girl)." "Be explicit man." "Sister, haven't I fulfilled all your wishes?" "Except marriage..." "Only that's left, right?" "Okay, you needn't get angry with me for that." "I'll marry." "Oh my Goddess...." "What am I hearing?"

"I'll tell you about her after the month of July." "This's bad time even to think about auspicious things, that's why." "You've decided to marry, haven't you?" "That's enough for me." "Manikutta..." "Next is your marriage." " Let Chinnu's marriage get over." "I'll take care of her marriage." "She's my sister too." "You just talk about your's."

"Will you get something for me when you come back?" "What?" " Black bangles." "We believe that if we wear black bangles our marriage will be performed soon." "Only that's remaining now." "I've some other work, girl." "I'm not your servant." "I'm not telling you anything now since I'm going out." "What happened?" " Nothing." "What happened?" "I just asked him to get me black bangles when he comes back." "And he has started shouting." "Wild buffalo!" "Simple!" "Couldn't you ask me to get them?" "Why're you laughing now?" "Did you see anything?" "I couldn't see...." "Did you see?" "What?" " Her changing the dress." "You idiot, get lost...." "go man...." "Stay there." "Don't tell anyone that I had peeped into her room." "Heard?" "Heard?" " Yes I heard." "What?" " That you're going to marry her, aren't you?" "You needn't tease me..." "Do you need any money?" "I don't want money." " Then?" "But I need an old dress of your's to wear." "I'll tell sister." "Get it from her." "I'll whip you if this gets leaked." "Oh my heart!" "I'm eagerly waiting for the day we're going to get united." "These black bangles which hold 1000 kisses...." "When I see you wearing them, My heart will be in ecstasy." "Your's Srikrishna." "I saw the bride selected by the lord." "Parrot says, that girl's mind will not change if you give her chain  bangles." "Then ask the parrot what's the other way for me to marry her?" "What I could see is that this'll not take place in a direct way." "Even if it curves a little it's enough if I marry her." "There's only one way for that." "Ask all the bachelors here not to marry her." "She'll marry you only if she doesn't find anybody." "What's the price of this parrot?" " l'll not sell the parrot." "This's my livelihood." " You needn't sell." "But I want to know how much will I've to give if I kill it." "You and your parrot are predicting some nonsense to her." "I'll kill you both  throw in the water." "Take the thing which you had asked me to bring." "What's this?" " Black bangles." "Marriage needn't be stopped by not wearing them." "Anyway you've bought the bangles." "Why don't you put them on for me?" "If anybody sees..." "Look, mother." "Karthumbi, if you want to go to the temple, then come soon." "Sister, ask the keeper of the bull Velaiyan to remain here when he comes." "I'll come back soon." "Superb." "Bangles." "Bangles suit you well." "I didn't think that they'll match you so well." "Now you've seen." "Couldn't put them on my hand when they were bought for me?" "Rude person!" "Even then you like, right?" "Would I say like this if I don't like?" "Not rude Thumbi." "Waiting for the time." "Then why do you need black bangles?" "Can't get you golden bangles?" "Wait till July ends." "Marriage'll be performed soon." "It's the marriage offerings." "This's the marriage time." "Aren't you the Goddess of music?" "You sing." "If sky is clear  if our hearts are contented," "Marriage is warranted." "Shyness will swing my heart with the golden swing." "It's time for celebration." "With the Golden Chariot," "Bring auspicious pendant for Karthumbi."

"Oh flower, come to adore the Pearl necklace." "Lets join together tonight and watch the festival publicly." "Moon light is waning." "Aren't you the new moon?" "I can hear the dance steps." "It's time for the spikes of the corn to play." "Oh Parrot." "Come to marry me." "Give me your golden feathery cage to live." "Who presented me this new hand spun silk bordered saree?" "10 sovereigns of jewels  Rs.5000." "Or according to the present capacity, 15 milchy cows." "What's that calculation man?" "Groom's father deals in cattle business." "So, he demanded cows, if not money." "What about the groom?" " He's the signaler for the trains." "We needn't accept this proposal giving this much of dowry." "Oh God..." "Reducing more than is..." "Who asked to reduce?" "She's not your daughter." "But Manickam's sister of Madambi house." "This proposal doesn't suit Madambi." "What're you saying?" "Manickam came here  helped me to make all these things." "His sister is, my sister too...." "l'll give 20 sovereigns of jewels and 25,000 as dowry." "Find a suitable groom and fix it." "Next time you come here only with the marriage invitation." "Don't ask anything further." "Do we need such an exalted proposal?" "Madambi people don't change their words." "Do you've a doubt?" " No." "This year, many marriages will be performed here." "I'm thinking of performing all the marriages together." "I thought of something." "You need some money for your journey, right?" "Wait." "Did you hear?" "Government job isn't as great as working in the kitchen of Madambi house." "They're grateful people." "We've to worship them with flowers." "We've to worship." "We've to worship the auspicious pendant  ornaments in the temple." "Lets do that after the engagement." "I didn't think that she was your sweetheart, she being here for so long." "That's why, purposely father named you like this." "You're the thief Krishnan." "You've made everything ready without my knowledge." "For the first time, I thought that I need a girl." "That time Timmayan asked me to tell this to everyone after the end of July." "In case of any obstacles, I'll not get married ever." "What obstacles'll arise...." " Nothing..." "Forget me." "Do you like her?" "She's Goddess Lakshmi, right?" "Even if she's a demon, I'll consider her as Goddess Lakshmi, if you like her." "Advise Manickam." "Manickam  Thumbi are like mongoose  snake when they meet each other." "Now onwards, we're going to live under the same roof, isn't it?" "Won't he change his mind when he comes to know that," "She's his sister-in-law?" "He'll carry her on his shoulder and roam." "I'll show these things to her and come." "I feel shy..." "I feel shy...." "l came to know about the secret love affair going on here." "You both were cheating us for these many days, right?" "Oh God!" "I was told that it'll be better if we tell you at the right time." "Right time has come now." "My dear brother has purchased saree  auspicious pendant for marriage." "Now, marriage band  the hub-hub are remaining." "He didn't say that he has made so much of arrangements." "He just said that it'll take place after the end of this month." "Engagements arrangements are made." "We'll fix the time when priest comes on Monday from Mangalapuram." "Don't we've to inform Manickam's father?" "Mancikam told me that we'll marry after his sister's marriage." "What're you saying?" "Manickam told me that brother has some girl in his mind," "And marriage will take place immediately." "Manickam planned to disclose our affair to everyone after that." "That's why, I too kept it as a secret." "Does Krishnan know that you  Manickam are in love?" "Yes..." "He teases me often." "That's why, he made our marriage arrangements without our knowledge." "Manickam'll be shocked when he knows this, right mother?" "Whatever it's, you don't tell this to Manickam." "Let Krishnan tell him directly." "You don't know his intention, right?" "Okay, I'll not tell him." "What?" "I want to tell you something." "Here?" " l can't talk to you at home." "That's why, I brought you to the temple." "Not only for that," "Praying before committing a deliberate mistake." "When I feel guilty of my crime, I chant God's name  get relieved, right?" "What're you saying mother?" "Even if I'm not your own mother, lf you consider me as your foster mother, then you've to heed my words." "If you've considered me as your son, then tell me." "I know that you like Karthumbi." "You've to forget her." "You love me and your brother more than her, right?" "Couldn't you forsake her for our sake?" "But what's her mistake?" "She didn't commit any mistake." "But my brother has committed the mistake." "He has loved a girl for the first time." "He bought gold jewels  sari for her like a fool," "And he's dreaming about the marriage." "He didn't know that his heart is jumping like kids." "But you're in the girl's heart whom he loves." "He'll not be able to bear it if he comes to know this." "That's why, I'm cruel to you." "Forget her." "If you can..." "Ask her also to forget you." "Don't you know that I'm eager to see that he leads a family life." "Since, I didn't find any other way..." "Please obey..." "Orelse I'll curse you." "For the Lords(Bosses), slaves lives are similar to the life of the cattle." "Buying cattle in the fair." "Feeding them grass  bran," "Making them healthy and let them lie in the cattle shed." "They'll sell them when its profitable." "And'll not ask whether they're taking them for slaughtering or rearing." "That's why, I say..." "Believing them, I can't marry you now." "Let me own something first, then I'll think about it." "You had'nt told me about this earlier." "Have you seen any person who's constant in his views?" "Tell me if you don't like me." "I'll leave." "Did I tell you like that?" " l felt so when you said like that." "Karthumbi, don't cry." "Whatever has to happen has happened." "My father used to say," "That we're not the deciding authority but its God." "Believe him." "Hey do it fast." " Greetings sir." "What Lord?" "Feast?" "What's going on man?" "Your parrot's words are true." "On my behalf, get some fruits  milk for the parrot." "His parrot will not tell the truth." " Who said?" "I say...." "If parrot had told you the truth," "Then why didn't the parrot say that everybody is cheating you?" "Cheating me?" "Who?" " l'll not say Lord." "You'll not believe me." "Tell me what it's. - l'll not." "I'm afraid to say what I saw and heard." "But I'm sure of one thing." "You've fed milk to a snake for these many years." "Manickam is a cobra. - l'll kill you if you bad mouth, Manickam." "Kill me..." "I'm happy to die at your hands." "Whatever it's, let me tell the truth and die." "Your marriage will not take place." " Marriage will not take place?" "Yes..." "He'll not perform it." "I saw with these eyes." "Heard with these ears." "That Manickam kissed her." "You're my God. I'll tell you the truth only." "He told her it'll be better if you marry any donkey rather marry you." "It seems, you've lost your pick up  you'll not have children." "I started boiling with rage when I heard it." "Are you telling the truth?" " You call both of them and ask." "Then you'll know." "She hugged and told him, "lets run away somewhere"." "And he replied, "Not necessary." "Lets rob the money  ornaments  run away"" "This isn't a recent affair." "She's a simpleton." "But Manickam has manipulated her." "So, was he cheating me for these many years?" "Were they both enacting a drama before me?" "Ungrateful dogs!" "We've to pluck the teeth of that ungrateful dog which bit the benevolent hand." "Then let him run away." "We shouldn't pardon." "He should go away from this place." "If you're born to one father, you've to do this." "No need..." "Not now." "I want her...." "I'm very particular about it." "I'll decide about what to do with the other one." "Where were you last night?" "Manickam went home." "Tomorrow is Chinnu's engagement." "He was waiting here till dusk to inform you." "Have you drunk?" " Yes..." "You made me swear on that cheap fellow that I'll not drink." "You had said, "thunder will strike his head if I drink hereafter"" "I drank for it to strike." " Krishna, don't talk unknowingly." "I know everything..." "I've come to know everything." "I wished that you shouldn't know anything." "I wished that whatever I heard shouldn't be true." "Now I'm sure." "Please listen to what I say." " No need." "Everybody was fooling me, right?" "I'm a fool...." "You made me a clown  enjoyed." "Even you've joined their mirth without bothering about me." "He's not as you think." "He's a poor fellow." " No..." "He's a snake." "He bit the hand which fed him." "Hereafter nobody should support him." "I've only one thing to tell you." "Hereafter, I  he'll not live under this roof." "Yes Lord. - l want her." "For that she has to forget Manickam." "Only then I'll get her." " l'm getting an idea in my small brain." "My uncle's daughter, isn't it," "Kuyili." "Yes the servant maid here." "She's interested in Manickam  not me." "She's after him to marry him." "The whole village knows about this." "So..." "The idea which is brewing into my small brain..." "Hey, tell me man." "Lets make Kuyili tell in panchayat that she has lost her chastity." "Panchayat will ask her who the person is." "It's enough if she says it's Manickam." "Panchayat'll agree when a girl says so." "It'll order Manickam to marry her." "He'll not listen." "Then Panchayat will ask him to leave the place." "He'll run away." "This was the idea which was brewing in my small brain." "This isn't the idea emerging from a small brain." "And Karthumbi will hate him  forget him for that." "Very good. 2 birds with one stone!" "Tomorrow there'll be 3 birds in the small brain." "Which is the 3rd one?" "If Manickam goes away," "Then Kuyili will become an unchaste woman." "So nobody'll marry her." "Only I know that she's not unchaste  I'll marry her." "You're really superb!" "This idea got into my small brain." "That's why, God purposely didn't give you a big brain." "But will Kuyili agree to it?" "Just because she likes Manickam she'll agree." "You've to make her agree just because you like Karthumbi." "You've to show your talents there." "I'm afraid Lord." "I know how much you love Manickam." "But that girl has cajoled him nicely." "If you want him..." "Then this is the only way." "I'm telling you to do this out of affection," "Or would I stand besides you to do such a thing?" "You say it boldly." "Since I know the accused very well, it's not right for me to take a decision." "So let Madam Gandhari  other's here think  take a decision." "Since its proved that Manickam has raped Kuyili," "We've decided that he should marry her redeemhisfolly." "I don't know who's behind this plot." "I'll marry her." "Only I should marry the one I've raped." "I'll be with her  give money for her expenses." "If she's pregnant, then she'll deliver the baby, won't she?" "I'll marry her at that time." "If she's not pregnant," "Will any of you insist that I marry the girl whom I don't like?" "I'm reacting positively to the decision taken by the Panchayat." "Please show mercy on me." "Since his request is just," "We've decided that let him do what he has said." "I want to ask you something." " lf l don't want to hear anything..." "When I think that I had been with such a dirty creep, I feel ashamed." "Brother..." " Don't call me brother anymore, everything has ended." "If you step in there by claiming our old relationship..." "Come man." "I knew that such problems will crop up." "But I didn't think it'll be magnified like this." "Shame!" "Now I'm unable to face the people." "What's the use of crying?" "Atleast now you understand one thing." "Shouldn't love a person falling for the beauty and age." "But nobility should be the criterion." "I...don't think, I'm..." "You've sinned." "Yes, what else could I do?" "Atleast now I thought of caring for myself." "Orelse he would've betrayed me further." "I'm talking about you only." "What did I do?" "It's hurting you, right?" "You were silent when he had hurt me after being with you for these many years." "You're thinking and worrying about some beggar, right?" "You and Manikuttan are same to me." "Manikuttan!" "That son of your's is dead." "He'll not become your son if you call him son." "But I'm your brother, who wasted my life for your sake." "Don't forget that  compare me with him." "You've not spoken to me like this so far." "No..." "I've not told you anything harsh other than calling you sister." "But when I see my sister crying for the one who has hurt me, I'm boiling." "I don't have the generosity to bear it." "I'll not say anything more." "Do as you like." "I'll be only with you." "I don't have anybody other than you." "I've come with the invitation." "I should give you the first one." "Dear..." "Give it to him gracefully." "You would've known what had happened here, right?" "I don't know what happened." "Your son raped Kuyili who's working here." "Panchayat has ordered him to live with her." "Now Lord is going out by covering his face." " He may be simply saying." "Lord..." "My son'll not do such a nasty thing." "Then, he might not be your son." "I thought of telling you something." "This time even though there were dark clouds." "But there were no enough rains." "I can deliver the produce in the fair only if I start the work in the fields." "So, the amount which I promised to pay for her marriage," "Now, I'm unable to pay." "Lord, don't say like that." "I fixed the time and printed the invitation only by heeding your words." "Did I think that this year will be unprofitable when I promised you?" "You only said that Madambi people will not change their words." "Can we change the limbs, if not the words?" "Just became you gave your son to look after our fields  cattle, I didn't promise you that I'll take care of your entire family." "Don't come here again regarding this." " Lord..." "Enough father..." "After hearing all this, are you still of worshiping him?" "You needn't stoop so low to perform my marriage." "Don't dear." "Don't the slaves have shame  modesty?" "If you want to come, then come." "I'm going." "Do you think, I'm a debauch?" "No, but when he said..." "You don't listen to others." "I know my brother well." "He's insulting you having some animus." "Rather getting me married using his money, It's better to kill me." "You were minding your business, but I bothered you with the marriage proposal." "I'll perform your marriage." "Otherwise why should I be called a brother?" "Day is fixed after Pongal, isn't it?" "You print the invitations, I'll perform her marriage by taking loans." "I've the stamina to work and repay them." "You go with hope." "Manickam, somebody has come from Gandhari house in search of you." "Manickam, you sit down." "Rajaiya, put a mat for Manickam." "You were meekly adjusting with the Lord in Madambi house, right?" "Don't consider yourself inferior because you've come here." "You know that Pongal is nearing." " Yes." "I heard that you're not driving Madambi people's cart this time." "Yes...." " Then, can't you drive my cart?" "What?" " What'll I get?" "Half of the bet amount." "Isn't it enough?" "Think  say." "There's nothing to think, I want money." "Sister." "Stop it please." "In this race, Injimuda people's," "Bet is, 1000 acres of land...." "200 bulls....100 milch cows." "If Madambi people lose, they've to give their entire property  leave the place." "If you're ready, announce it." "Manickam is my cart man." "I'm ready to take up the bet." "Not only that, if Madambi people lose, I'll shave my sister's head, make her sit on the donkey," "And take her around the village." "Only then I'll leave this place." "Appakalai is my cart man." "Lets begin." "Begin..." "Manickam get into the cart." " No, I can't...." "Reason... - l feel giddy." "No problem..." "It's just a matter of 5 minutes." "I can bear it even if you join the race and lose." "I'll not lose if I join the race." "I very well know that." "That's why, I told you that I'll not get into the cart." "Let anybody say anything..." "I've not been ungrateful till now," "And I'll not be..." "Please forgive me." "You cheat..." "Treacherous fellow." "You've cheated me." "You men should keep up your words." "I'll not leave you so easily." "On the next panchayat, I'll throw you out from this place." "I've the money in my pocket which I've got by selling his father." "is he trying to defeat me?" "is he laying a bet with me?" "I glossed  lived for these many days by creating new bets daily  winning." "Did you see how I pulled his leg?" "Didn't you see him falling down there?" "If you hadn't stopped him from the race." "I would've defeated him." "Yuck..." "You'll do it!" "Go man... ls there any man in this world who can beat him in this?" "If he had joined the race," "By this time, we would've had to give away everything  leave this place." "Do you know?" " So you know that." "He could've performed his sister's marriage by selling this house if he wanted." "Just because he's loyal to us, he didn't do like that." "Our family wasn't cursed by anybody so far." "Now you don't get the curse." "You've to perform that marriage." "I told you whatever I wanted to." "Hereafter you do as you like." "You go  ask that Kannaiyan to come here." "Don't think I'm giving up." "I wanted to win again." "It's good that Lord agreed." "Now we needn't beg with anybody performit,right?" "You didn't hear the complete thing." "First hear  then say we need this or not." "What's it father?" "My heart is beating fast..." "How can I tell you?" "I'll tell you." "Lord has ordered that marriage will be performed only if you don't come." "Father... - l've promised him that you'll not come." "We've to perform it somehow, haven't we, son?" "No need..." "What sin have I committed to suffer so much?" "Father who has brought up a grown up motherless daughter," "You'll not understand that father's feelings." "That's why, I agreed." "I don't want a marriage without you." "I'll be there..." "You don't cry." "My heart  blessings will always be with you, dear." "I've fixed this marriage proposal." "It shouldn't stop because of me." "Atleast for our father, you've to agree to this." "Offer him this money." "I'll meet you and the groom later." "You go." "I've served supper..." "Sister has gone to bed." "Who'll feel hungry at this miserable time?" "I didn't join the feast even though I attended the marriage." "I  Manickam should've had that feast on the same leaf." "He may be angry with me." "But what to comment when he didn't come for his sister's marriage." "I don't understand even now how he became so venomous." "Wait...." "My sister has a wish." "She didn't tell you because she was hesitant to tell you directly." "Let anything happen, you be here." "But sister's wish is that you should stay here as the member of this family." "I don't get you." "I'm also fed up living alone." "I've received many proposals from well off families." "But I'm not interested in money  fame." "I want a girl who'll understand  look after me." "Only that's needed, right?" "So you..." " No..." "I've committed sins." "Even the people who want to help me are in no position to do it I don't feel so." "I'm going to fix and declare this immediately." "Isn't the boss there?" " Who're you?" "I don't recognise you." "Ask him..." "He'll tell you." "What?" "I came to see the groom." "I've brought a gift." "I made these ornaments for our marriage." "I heard that you're going to marry someone else." "When you give her the jewels and saree, give her even this." "For some years he was romancing with me." "At that time when he said that he doesn't want marriage," "And he's going to live for his sister, I didn't cry and fall at his feet." "I was just waiting for him." "I prayed to all the Gods that he should change his mind." "Till now I didn't think of another man or to lead a family." "Now when he saw the beauty of the girl who's like his daughter," "He forgot me." "I've teased you and sang that you're a stone hearted man." "But if you had a pebble sized heart, you would've remembered me." "I hate myself for loving you all these years." "That's good..." "Even you're involved in grabbing, right?" " What's it?" "Oh god!" "Pregnant women should be very careful for first 3 months." "Shouldn't do these type of jobs." "If you had learnt to steal, you've to be cautious." "If anybody sees now, cat'll be out of the bag." "If it does, even your head'll be shaved and you'll be taken on a donkey." "It will be awkward scene hey, going away!" "When in love..." "Girls really behave like kids." "Some don't get what they wish for." "So they'll grab it when they don't get it." "While grabbing they'll slip." "And make a mess of everything." "Atleast now tell me, who told you that by lying you can marry me?" "Who made you say lie?" "Thief!" "Thief..." "Cuckoo..." "Cuckoo..." "Thief..." "Thief." "Oh thief cuckoo..." "Will you tell it softly and sweetly in my ears?" "That day you laid eggs in the crow's nest," "And flew away singing that you didn't." "Why did you lie?" "Even wind is endorsing that those are crow's eggs." "Nobody believed the crow when it told the truth, opened its heart and showed." "Then it swooned and lay in the nest." "Who's standing at the distance?" "Tiny branch of the banyan tree is swaying merrily." "When the temple dones flew and cooed all over the village." "Gossip spread like wild fire." "Parrot which loved the crow didn't know the true story." "Breeze is flowing in this garden." "My dear bird smiled by flapping it's wings." "In the Srihalli fair, have you seen the bull fixed by the Surya family." "I've not brought it for sale." "Those who have not seen the good ones can have a look." "I didn't sell it even after they promised to give me gold." "No..." "Go man." "What a man he's?" "Look at the bull, count its teeth and then fix the deal." "Those who've lot of money can bid." "Did you see the people yelling in the hot sun?" "He was strong and healthy when he was in my house with 3 square meals." "Now did you see him, how lean and dark he has become?" "He'll suffer like this if he doesn't behave decently." "Hereafter you'll see him roaming as a beggar, in this fair." "Did you see the bulls shining?" " He made them shine by applying oil." "They'll faint and fall if they take 4 steps forward." "Lord..." "Don't trouble me, let me somehow live." "I'll trouble you." "Trapping women in my house after eating my food." "These are not enough for dirty creeps like you." "Who knows that he'll not trap even my sister whom he calls his mother?" "I'll kill you if you talk nonsense." "Where's he?" "That person with the saffron paste on his forehead." "Hey dog's progeny, you'll marry my girl, won't you?" "Your corpse will only marry her." "I've warned him already." "Please come..." "They're hitting our Lord." "Take him and go." "He might be a Policeman there, but here he's nothing." "This is a different State." "Warn him that he'll lose his limbs if he comes here again." "Where are you going?" "l'm going!" "Only now I've understood that I've not committed a big sin." "Orelse if at the end of this night," "My life would've been hell, after marrying you, you cheat." "Kuyili told me everything." "Do you want to know anything else?" "I want to tell you some more." "So I'm not saying anything." "Go..." "All of you dogs...go." "But this Srikrishnan'll not lose." "You people are nothing to me." "Nobody'll live happily after hurting me." "I'll teach a lesson to all of you, go..." "It's enough man." "Let all those who want to go, go." "Am I not there for you?" "Forget everything dear." "Where are you going?" "I want to meet that beggar." "Stay there." "Come..." "Many have died here." "Only plants are here..." "even corpses will not be found." "He killed the Lord." "And threw him in the pond to get that girl." "You killed him, right?" "You killed my Lord for a dirty girl right?" " Father." "No, father...." "No..." "Didn't you hit him in this fair?" "Didn't you say that you'll kill him?" "My heart cried when I saw his sister crying." "You'll be ruined, you ungrateful dog." " Are you a human being?" "You're making your father to cry." "Yes..." "It's a heart-rending sight, isn't it?" "I didn't think that you'll kill him when you threatened to." "But you did as you said." "Please listen to what I want to say." "I know he was very vile." "He was very cruel to you." "Even then, didn't I bring you both together and fed rice from the same pot." "How could you think of doing this?" "Atleast you should believe me." "No everything is over now..." "It'll be good if I know one thing." "is his corpse in the pond or have you buried him somewhere?" "So that I can get a handful of his ashes to perform the rites." "Let his soul atleast rest in peace" "Mother." "Mother." "I didn't throw." "I didn't do it." "I didn't kill him." "Oh my god!" "How can I make her believe?" "No time to think." "Do something immediately." "I'll sent a person right now." "We've to call the police from the town or else he'll leave this place." "Brother." "I'm going" "Where?" "I'll get into the 10'clock bus." "I'll get down at the terminus and walk from there." "I've thought only that much now." "I'm unable to bear it." "I'm unable to bear the punishment for the crime which I've not committed." "Now if I come with you I'll not trouble you." "I'll get down on the way." "Uncle..." "Manickam and that girl are leaving this place." "We'll not be able to catch him if he leaves by 10'clock bus, come." "I thought of meeting you before I left." "Hey dog, you're broadcasting everywhere that I've killed him, aren't you?" "Tell me..." "Who killed the Lord?" "No." "Where's Lord?" "l don't know." "Tell me, where's the Lord?" "Catch him, man." "Come fast." "Didn't you die?" " Die?" "Why?" "My son..." "We shouldn't live with the girl whom we like." "But should live with the girl who likes us." "This is the lesson I've learnt from the nonsense I did." "Please bless us." "You come this side and stand." "Why?" "Let me see you clearly." "Please pardon me." "All have troubled you alot isn't it?" "Pardon me." "Mother, you don't say like that." "Brother has come alive, hasn't he?" "But I've only regret." "You believed when somebody said that I killed him." "You killed me?" "Which bastard said this?" "He only." "Catch him." "Make him stand here." "Did you say like that?" "Lord, tell us what to do with him." "Shall we throw him in the pond?" "He has do situps here." "You made me a killer by throwing his slippers  upper cloth in the pond?" "Pardon me." "Do situps till it becomes dark and the come there to bathe the cattles." "We'll tell you the rest of the punishment at that time." "Nobody should give him water." "We'll not give." "Hey do situps...count man." "1 - 1 ." "2 - 2." "3 - 3." "4 - 4." "5 - 5." "6 - 6." "7 - 7." "If the sky is clear and hearts are contented, marriage is warranted."
