'This is an ode to my guru late Mr Jeeva

who directs me from within' - Jeeva Shankar

'Immortal masterpiece'

Time to go to court

Stand against the wall

'Coimbatore 1989'

Handcuff and bring him

The boy is a bit strange

Escort him carefully

Thank you, sir

Your girl is coming this way

She's looking at me

Shall I go tell her?

Go...go fast

'OOTY'

"I was a boy earlier

Now I'm a youngster"

"You're sandwiched in between"

"ls it right, this flow of adrenalin?"

"You were my friend true

Now you're my girl-friend new"

"Sandwiched in between is me"

"ls it right...te | | me frankly"

"Silhouettes do we represent?"

"Is it right, this magic present?"

"ls it right...is it worthy?

ls this me, yours truly?"

"Will I fall or rise again?

Am I an adult from now on?"

"ls it fine...hunky-dory?

ls this I, myself, me?"

"Will I dive or climb new levels?

Am I a man now and hence?"

"I was a kid before

Now a teenager to the core"

"You're right in the middle

ls it right, just or sensible?"

"Teenagers view

world in a new hue"

"Picturing beauty

in eloquent eyes true"

"The song I heard yesterday casually

sounds peppy today, is it right, tell me?"

"ls it right...is it worthy?

ls this me, yours truly?"

"Will I sink or float?

Will I be a man aloft?"

"In adolescence do minds waver?"

"When girls see, however,

do hearts seem heavier?"

"ls a friend's life partner,

his friend or sister?"

"Neither? ls this question proper?"

"We are doodles of delight"

"We are also roads infinite"

"Hereafter quiet mischief

of the cold Wind's whiff"

"Silhouettes do we represent?"

"ls it right this magic present?"

"ls it right...is this the way?

ls this I in me today?"

You just keep looking at her

like that and the year will end

Didn't she smile at me or not?

Your dad and hers

work at the same bank

She comes to your house

and you visit her

Same class too

Obviously she'll smile at you

What else do you expect?

Don't think too much

After they cross that corner

she'll start walking alone

Just go look into her eyes

and tell her you love her

What are you thinking about?

Be brave and tell her

All of a sudden?

As it is, I'm tensed

Don't be scared

What can she do?

She'll either smile

or reject your love

At least you can study

in peace if you find out

What if she says no?

-First profess your love

Then depending on her reply

we'll think of the next step

Don't decide for her

Go now

I have an idea

I can't talk as boldly as you

So why don't you go

and tell her I love her?

Don't get tensed

I'll tell you why

What if she goes

and tells her folks?

It will be really humiliating

-So?

If you express love

on my behalf to her...

...and they find out at home

I'll deny it outright and escape

So is it okay

if I get humiliated?

You won't

She doesn't know anything about you

You won't have any problem

Go fast, dude

She'll leave

I'll go

But let me tell you this

If she rejects you...

...you shouldn't

be upset with me

She won't

Just go

ca")! on!

Kahikam!

Are you walking back home?

I want to tell you

something important

What?

- You know Balaji?

- What about him?

Nothing

He loves a girl in our class

But he's scared to tell her

That's why I thought

you'd help if I told you

What can I do?

Whom does he love?

You know him well

He's a very good boy

-Who is he in love with?

- You...he loves you

Are you his messenger?

Are you jobless?

I'm not a messenger

He said he felt scared to tell you

That's why I'm here

If you want, I will

ask him to come

No need

Tell him I'm not interested

Not interested?

Then why did you keep

turning around and smiling?

Don't deny it

I've seen you look at him

Yes...l looked, and I smiled

I'm not denying it

Then what?

-I was not looking at him

I was looking at you

I'll tell you why as well

Othewvise you won't get it

into that thick skull of yours

Because I love you

That's why I looked at you and

smiled every time I walked past

Happy?

If the two of you are stuck to

each other like leeches all the time...

...how will you know who

is looking at whom and why

Use your brain a little bit

before asking questions

Othewvise it'll rust

Talking utter rubbish!

Has your doubt cleared

or do I have to elaborate?

Karthika...Balaji loves-

Do you like me or not?

I like you very much

I'm under the impression

all along you like me too

If that's true, wait for me

tomorrow morning here, alone

Then I'll know

you feel the same way

If you're not waiting,

I won't bother you

What happened?

Did you tell her?

- What did she say?

- I didn't tell her

Why?

Was someone with her?

When I went near her,

I chickened out

When I told you

you acted so brave

Now do you realize?

Forget it!

But why are you standing

like you've seen a ghost?

Thank God you didn't say

anything and mess it up further

I'll tell her myself

Let's go now

Instead of face to face, I think

a love letter will suit my style better

Want some tea?

Jeeva...!

'I was not looking at him'

'I was looking at you'

'Because I love you'

'Just looking at Karthika

is enough for me'

'My life will be so happy'

'Do you know

how much I love her?'

'I like you very much'

'I am under the impression

all along you like me too'

Have you been waiting for long?

-No, I just got here

Do you really love me?

Sorry, I don't mean

to sound so doubtful

Till this moment, I don't

even know if you love me

I'm the one who

expressed my love

I won't ask you this again

How long have you

been in love with me?

I don't know the exact

moment I fell in love

But I remember the day

I realized I love you

You didn't attend school

for a few days at a stretch

Yes, I had fever

So I stayed home

First, I didn't realize

Then during lunch time, I thought

I'd ask Balaji why you hadn't come

Then I thought to myself

'Why should it matter to me?'

Next day, I kept looking

towards the door

When I knew you weren't coming,

somehow I didn't like being in class

I almost wanted to make up

some excuse and go home

The whole day

I was in a lousy mood

I could breathe only when

I saw you the next day

I love you

Finally...!

You came out with it

I was waiting to see

when you'd tell me

Who permitted you

to hold my hand?

sorry

Good to know

you're scared of me!

What happened?

Are you angry?

I thought about Balaji

- I encouraged him for so long

- But you didn't know

Explain to him patiently

I'm sure he'll understand

Tell me again

Tell me you love me

I love you

Now do you believe me?

I don't have a dad

When I was 4

he died in an accident

My mom and dad

fell in love and got married

2 years after my dad

passed away...

...my grandparents

got her married again

My stepfather is a nice man

But everyone forgot my dad

Even if there are

people around me...

...I still feel so alone

The face I see last

before I die will only be yours

Don't say that again

"Handful of thoughts flutter

On my heart embroider"

"Assorted thoughts cluster
