Personal life..

She just doesn't discuss her

personal life anywhere.

She doesn't have to, right?

You feel like saying

a sorry, rig ht?

It's all right.

Have some more sweets.

It's amazing.

You won't get it anywhere else.

You'll get it only here.

Apart from waiting like this,

have you ever felt like going

in search of your mother?

I still don't know why

my mother abandoned me.

I may be able to find her,

if I go searching for her.

But once I search and find her,

and finally when I confront her,

my mother..

What if my mother says

that she doesn't know me?

What if my mother is living,

in a condition that no son in the

world would wish to see her in?

Didn't you say once...

...that what hurts us the most is a

long wait for something or someone?

What hurts more

than a long wait,

is when that wait

comes to an end.

Wearing the only

old Saree she had,

With a beautiful smile on her face,

My mother used to call me

'Aravinda' and hug me!

I won't go in search

of that mother.

If she is alive,

she will come searching for me.

Someday.

" Aren't you somewhere far away in the sky,

blinking your eyes like a star?"

"Come! Come!"

"Those calls of yours"

"This breeze is spreading

them in my ears"

Oh God!

Who gave you permission to

do all this investigation?

We don't know who his father is.

His mother abandoned him.

Did you consider the pain

that boy is going through?

I'll tell you something!

Don't interfere in any of

his matters hereafter.

Let him live at least with the hope

that his mother would return someday.

Understood?

His very own mother

abandoning him..

Will it ever disappear

from any child's mind?

No one has come in search

ofAravindan so far?

Who's going to come?

Mom!

I want to go to my mom!

I want to see my mom!

That mother who left her child in

between such a humongous crowd?

My mother used to call me

'Aravinda' and hug me!

I won't go in search of that mother.

As far as I know, Aravindan reached

Mookambika when he was 5-6 years old.

Those pictures must be his memories

from his past before that.

As your friends said,

if these places are in Udupi..

We'll definitely be

able to find them.

We will find them!

Awn

a

Anyway, it's not Kerala.

There are no coconut trees

in any of those pictures.

Kids from Kerala .. The first

things they draw are a house,

a coconut tree in the courtyard,

and a hill behind, right?

All those pictures are

of Udupi drawings.

Aren't we going to the street

in Aravindan's drawing?

Let's go there and enquire.

- Okay.

I don't know.

Let's check there as well.

What if we find something?

Chetta, a centre called Surya?

- Go straight and turn right.

Surya Cultural Centre.

This is the place.

The emblem is the same.

- Check the pin code on your mobile.

It's 101..

Aadhi Udupi Post Office.

Aadhi Udupi Post Office.

With his name and age, let's enquire

at the municipal office as well.

What if his birth was registered?

Come fast.

It's 5 o'clock.

Sir, we need some

information urgently.

Please help us.

- Look.

It's 5 o'clock.

Office time over.

Come tomorrow

Sir, keep this.

Please, sir.

Sir, in the period from '88 to '92,

if there was a birth registered

with the name 'Aravindan'.

It's very difficult

to find all that.

Can you give us

the details, sir?

I'll do whatever I can

for the money you gave.

Okay. Let me try.

Wait a minute.

I've found this with

so much difficulty.

Aravindan,

Father:
Balakrishna Adiga..

- And mother?

Mother:
Geet ha La ks hm i.

Majestic press, Udupi.

Hey! They used to stay in a

portion of this building.

The house owner was

some Narayana Shetty.

But he sold this and moved

to some other place.

That's all they know.

Here.

Isn't this the one?

- Our route is correct.

Pin code is also correct.

Let's catch hold of

some old postmen.

They might be able to give

us much more details.

Aunty, is this Postman

Appanna's house?

Yes. Come in.

This is the one.

Hello.

- See Varada,

you're a professional dancer.

You cannot do these kind of things.

Ma'am, I was..

- No. I hate excuses!

Balakrishna Adiga was a doctor.

Geetha Lakshmi was

a nursing student.

When their son was 5 years old,

the doctor left this town.

According to what he said,

his father Balakrishna

Adiga was a doctor.

His mother Geetha Lakshmi

was a nursing student.

When Aravindan turned 5,

his father left this town.

And after 5-6 months,

Geetha Lakshmi and

son also left Udupi.

The outstanding rent and

money she had borrowed,

she sent it after a few days to

Narayana Shetty, the house owner,

as money order.

I'll tell you something!

Don't interfere in any of

his matters, hereafter.

If you can find the

money order details,

you can get the 'From Address'

from that.

He's saying that the 'From

Address' would be saved.

Will it still be there?

- It might be.

Sir, will it still be there?

Mad am,

unlike what you think, this is

not any random courier service.

Indian Postal Service!

Britishers started it, right?

Must be there!

Geetha Lakshmi, General Hospital,

Ananthanarayanapuram, Alappuzha.

How m uch, Chet-ta?

- 20 Rupees.

Chem. .

Nursing Superintendent Geetha Lakshmi?

- Over there. C Block.

Who are you?

I am Aravindan's friend.

Varada.

Aravindan?

There's no patient in that

name in this block, dear.

He's not a patient.

Then?

He is Dr. Balakrishna Adiga's,

and Geetha Lakshmi's son.

Do you know him?

No. I don't know.

So I must be mistaken then.

Sorry.

If there's someone here who abandoned

her 5-6 year old son at Mookambika..

Here.

Give this number to her.

1996 October 20

Navratri

I fell in love with someone.

We lived together.

But I was betrayed.

I desperately needed to

find a solution for that.

Abandoning your own son

at the temple courtyard...

Was that the solution you found?

Very good!

I didn't leave him at

the temple courtyard.

Balakrishnan, who left saying

that he's going to his home-town,

never returned.

I went there to study"

How could I go back

home with a child?

I had 3 younger sisters.

I didn't have any other

option in front of me,

other than leaving him at

the Adiga Children's home.

Don't say that, Swamy.

I will come!

Rig ht now, I don't have

any other option, Swami.

Okay.

I confessed everything at home

and fell at their feet crying.

My father threatened that I'll

have to see their dead bodies,

if I brought my son home.

I have a husband now.

I have children as well.

I'm leading a peaceful

family life now.

No need to be scared, Madam.

However much he wishes for it,

Aravindan won't come

searching for you.

You can continue to

live peacefully.

Do you have...

...his photo with you?

Yes.

But you needn't see that.

" My dear..

My mother, as beautiful as a flower"

"Where did you go,

leaving me alone?"

Who's this?

I am Aravindan.

Who's speaking?

Hello Madam..

Tell me.

Geetha..

What happened?

Nothing"

I have a head-ache.
