that spreads over thirty years.

Ravi Varma's son and president of

the party's youth wing, Akkilesh Varma...

I, Akkilesh Varma will solemnly

abide and follow the constitution of India,

...as directed by the law.

Will discharge the duties to

the best of my consciousness,

will strive without fear, favoritism,

unbiased, and will undertake justice

to men from all walks of life

I solemnly, take the

pledge in the name of God.

Then within three months,

by election will take place,

Government is ruling is out, only on

the strength of majority of single

seat don't you know that?

After thirty year of ruling

Ravi Varma had obtained

only the majority of mere 3000 Votes.

Time had exceeded

to come to the forefront.

There are certain small opponents

within the party circle,

for solemnizing before the

completion, of my Father's death rituals.

Father's 16th day demise! Apart

from death rituals, undertaken...

the Ravi's soul, is longing

to see you as a minister.

Long before, a Bishmachariya

in Kearla politics,

his son was made to minister like this

Then what happened for the by

election, the people gave a great blow!

I know sir.

Don't think we are

underestimating you.

There is a foul tendency

among the mass of Kerala,

to vote against those who

rule. Should be careful.

If we ask money from local guardian

I fear your Dad may come to know that.

This is our last chance, must come

back at least with fifty thousand!

Come here! Too bad that you do not

know the address of local guardian.

American is it not,

that is why, it is like this!

Are you going like that?

Give some perfume, let's us

also have some spray and all!

Do you know this

Kumbannad? Thiruvella!

How many kilometers from here?

One kilometers,

one hundred kilometers!

Will it be a hard drive?

Beauty will it not be!

What are, you children's problem?

Must go to local guardian's place.

Go on!

Don't know the way.

These are all the chances,

can catch a bus and go!

Will vomit!

Came to study the life

of the poor, is it not?

Get in carrying a plastic pouch!

Okay then.

Then, happy journey!

Buddy I'm Mathu Mitha,

where are you children?

On the bus, on the

way to Kumbanad.

Then come back immediately, there

are two thief's sleeping in your room!

Are not ashamed to tell lies,

empty stomached?

Who is there of yours at Kumbanad?

Tell the truth! Will only speak

lie, when you use tongue!

Dad's house.

Ancestral house!

I've got a UNICEF programme

today, not as much as you people,

can't get sleep without doing at

least one charity work, a day.

So my own scoters key,

no need to wait for the bus,

no hassles, no queues!

But must pour petrol and the vehicle

should be handed over,

tomorrow morning at home.

Madhu Mitha! Is she a girl? If so,

why can she grow the hair in length?

On looking closely, can see the

moustache also! But should look closely!

Which is this Murikkan

Parambil House?

This is the one.

Brother, someone is coming under

the pretext, it is Kalamandalam!

Not yet learned, have

been drumming for long!

This is not, your kind of

knocking, this is art. Is it not?

Good if you go to America,

will be a really a good show!

What is his worry!

No medicine for this!

Hubby, don't bother,

carry on drumming!

I'm John's... Issac John's at America.

My God!

Then what are the

news in America?

How is brother in law, still

with that wig and all?

I also like ducts, but the son

Sebastin doesn't take ducks.

He will only take KPSC's chicken.

KPSC?

Man KFC?

That is the one, when you go to

America, will only get stuff like this,

is it not?

Yes, all the compatriots are jealous!

For what?

Didn't you know anything? Next

month we are coming there!

Didn't brother in law tell, anything?

Issac brother had

send us all the visas at all.

Kariachan is learning

to drum for that only!

I will just rock for all the

Malayalee programs in America...

for church programs and all.

Then, brother in law

will be shocked, is it not?

Why not?

What is the value of dollar now?

It has been very long, since

we have seen Dollar!

I've never seen Dollar, do you

have one in hand, to show me!

This is our Sebastin!

Don't you remember him?

He is your younger brother.

He has given up old roughness,

now turned to a decent person.

Dad had told me to use your car

and your room on reaching at States!

Are you studying from native

place, from now on, is it not?

Brother in law Issac had told that.

Ask about the other thing.

You ask.

Hubby you ask.

He is your brother's son.

Is it not? You must ask.

Son, tell brother to send some

money along with the ticket.

John's and Korah Murrikkan had

come to Allocious College

by giving up the luxurious

life in America.

They have disdained

properties worth of millions

and have travelled

to seek their roots.

And they are all the more

happy in this endeavor.

They understand, when

a person comes to know

the problems of ordinary men.

They realize, to know

the real Indians.

That is the reason why,

these young men can enjoy stay

in single bedroomed house,

walk on foot and

country cuisines.

As youth's are speedily following

the fashion and luxurious life,

these Mallu's who had come

from America are all the more

different from the

present day youths.

As the new generation are after

extravaganza, John's and Korah

becomes unique

examples of simple life,

by showing their life as a message.

Hey are you staying here quietly?

You guys are the role model for the

new generation, then how come

you are shy and standing aloof?

We Malayalli's have a

problem do you know what?

Once we see something good,

very difficult to accept it.

Hey give them a good clap!

Now why should I take a

class on money management?

These smart ones, have shown

with their life, haven't they?

Sir, this Johns Issac and Keera

Murikkan, no Korah Murikkan,

they are wanted by principal.

Do you know what this is? Do

you know, who all will read this?

This is for the first time, a thing like

this, have come about the students here.

Got scared, is it not?

Hey congratulations man!

Not only about the students.

It is for the first time, a news

about the college is coming.

In three places, it is specially

mentioned Allocious College.

Saw the youth page

is it not? How is it?

Seena Mol really worked

as a thunder bolt is it not?

Congrats lady! You are really mad!

Really! Then our

readers are also mad.

You don't underestimate readers.

Hey get lost, right from the morning

the phone calls are pouring in...

like anything before!

Asking the numbers of that guys!

Those boys have become a star!

You have not cheated

the readers, but your self's!

Look, only now I came to the

track, when I started my carrier,

I had sincerity and

social commitment also.

Then what happened?

Now Seena Mol is a star.

Did you become a journalist for that?

Do you think that, all this

news coming in the newspaper...
