My god!

Right from the morning itself,

will sit in front of the box.

What an idiotic game is this fellows?

This mother had spoiled everything,

...it was the last ball, now

the game will be over.

Mother, this is the game of cricket.

Yes, you fellows. To play and

to see the game lot of lunatics.

When the TV came to library, we

bid goodbye to Sunnychayan's house...

...and boasting of mother.

So in my teenage period, god

in the costume of a teenage,

...some other person was

entered in to the grounds.

This is our cricket team. 'Friends 11'

This is Pappettan. Pappettan

was our team captain.

Not only was the team captain, but

also one who told the last word...

...in all the things among us.

This is the Babukuttan,

...he is the wicketkeeper, blower

and batsman among us.

Our all rounder.

Sajiettan was our opening blower,

we used to call him Ambrose Sajietten.

Was it because of the speed of

the ball or it because of that form,

...that name was given?

Mani, catch the ball.

Mani, I have never seen

any ball fielded by Mani.

He is one of the best

fielders among us. Chandru.

Lord, must make him out. This is so

called Mantle Johny, Johnychettan.

To get the batting, praying to get

the own team member, to be out.

This is Nawas lkka.

In all the games,

Nawas lkka was run out.

Nwaas, what kind of

running is this man?

Didn't reach on running.

Basheer, you get in.

Should prove in the first over.

Run Basheer, run.

Go man Mantle, are you not

ashamed to say own team got out?

I swa him, stumping the ball like this.

Go man.

Hey man that's an out.

Varkey, Varkey has got some

amount of manipulations with him.

Whatever the case may

be, Varkey will break that.

Basheer, Basheer

was a single minded.

Can't say how and

when he will react.

Man, I'm also there for the game.

Look, here comes the assistant.

Hey man, I'm also there for playing.

This is Prahalathan, my class mate.

You take Prahalathan for free.

Come man.

Hey Basheer, wear the loin cloth

properly, not worn undergarments also.

Then see buddy.

Hey man don't create a scene.

Not creating scene,

truly I have worn it.

Just see.

There is only elastic, there

is nothing in the bottom.

He will get out soon, just

enter on getting the full toss.

Okay, hold tight.

My god.

Gone.

Gone, rub man.

Gone.

Why man beating

on top of his head?

Thing might have reached on top of

his head. Beating and pulling it down.

Hold your nose and jump.

Jump man.

Jump.

Basheer, for the time

being, you move.

I though the same

on removing the loin cloth.

I got retired, now any one can enter.

Come, come man.

There is no problem in fielding.

No, not at all that is not an out.

Pappetta, in the first place itself,

had told that there is no L.B.

Leave it man, for this time.

Don't run.

Throw. Throw!

That is not out.

I have put the bat here.

Pappetta, I entered on the 'grease'

Not 'grease' man, 'crease'

That is not an out, here.

If you want, you play.

The shrewd fellow getting

angry and going.

Not that Pappetta,

I had entered on the crease.

If its out, leave it man, you enter.

Sim ply saying out, to do the bating.

Don't go outside you

stand here, it is whole fielding.

Pappetta, give that bat.

This is my lucky bat man.

This fits in to the hand well.

Hey man here it goes Aakashavani

Trivandrum, Cochin and Allappey.

Go and take it man.

Here it goes again.

Hey man don't just throw to beat.

Nawas, you stay

near that forest itself.

Hey man all of you search.

How come he is always

beating to this side?

How many balls are you striking like

this man? Who are you man?

Are you Vivian Richards?

If you again beat like this, will

stamp on your feet did you hear that?

Pappetta when are you going?

Must do the treat for going to gulf.

This month last. On 27th.

Yea, on that day our

exam is also getting over.

Pappetta, got the ball.

Let me see.

This is the ball which

was gone yesterday.

What is there in that?

Still can play is it not?

The bating is for

the team which wins.

You go to church

and tell that must put the toss.

Stay there itself.

No matter how he bats,

will strike the ball for sure.

By hitting like this only,

he won that girl at the school.

What is her name?

Manjula.

Manjula Sasidharan.

"ln these mornings when the grass

for rituals, blossoms on the paths"

"On your eyes, is the

tender sun shine coming?"

"The paths gets

distorted in the water"

"A sweetness which is drenched"

"Under the shelter of an umbrella"

"Body getting wet in these rains"

"The palm leaves sparrow, will you

come swinging in the winds?"

"By coming in a friendlier note, by

stroking gently feathers of the eyes".

"Did a tender smile arouse

like a 4 o'clock flower?"

"Did the tender ink plant remove

its veil and come near you?"

"Did it come in the sweetness

of the dream like rain?"

"Me, getting wet for the first time"

All this time was, just thinking should

finish the studying at this school.

Now, when thinking that,

it saddens a lot.

That is correct.

What did you, also think like that?

Why not?

How was the exam man?

Had written something

with the bits obtained.

Don't know what will happen.

What was the answer

for the last question?

I skipped that one.

How was it in general?

Might nearly pass.

Aren't you ashamed to say that?

In this school, I had told everyone

that it will be Rameshan, who will be...

...securing highest marks.

I don't have any grievances on that.

Then what is it?

On thinking can't come again

to this school, a sort of sadness.

Why is that?

Not that, can't see

friends and teachers again.

Not able to see whom?

Then, don't you want to see me?

What is the plan on vacation?

There are playing cricket

and tournaments and all.

Only thinking about that, is it not?

Then what else?

Then? When will we meet again?

Nothing to say?

Can I go?

Look, will meet

while going to the temple.

Hey man Ramesha, come will go

Pappettan, will be about to go.

Come.

What is this gulf about?

Is it a country?

Heard that is the

cluster of many countries.

Out of that, going to

place called Kuwait.

Must be with a hefty salary, is it not?

On saying whatever Kuwait it may

be, will it be like our native land?

Native land,

what is the use of being here?

Can simply play with children

and simply roam around.

That is true, to

succeed must go to gulf.

Initially and all it will be little difficult.

Can one survive without struggling?

Seems he is about to leave.

But won't he understand that? As if

we are forcing him, like taking to kill.

Tutor is Pappettan, not here?

Yes, go, go inside.

Drink the tea.

Pappetta!

Is the packing and all over?

That is all ready man.

How was the exam?

Not bad.

And for you man?

Had written.

Hey man, doesn't feel like going.

Gopalan chettan doesn't like us,

on saying playing with us.

Only now he has got a relief. On

hearing this, he will throw us all.

Once Pappettan, reaches there,
