Bangalore Days Page #2

Gopichetta!

Divya's marriage has been fixed.

Is the Colonel coming?

When has your father attended

anything in this family?

When will you be coming?

Tell me that.

I am not coming for any wedding.

Aju, you haven't come

native, since school days.

If you don't attend my wedding,

I'll never talk to you again.

Is it a promise?

Idiot!

It was like that, right

from the olden times.

Divya, Aju and me.

Many of the dreams

and memories of childhood.

We, 3 used to share.

As the school vacation arrives.

They both will land up with

me at the ancestral house.

Then for two months we

used to have a jolly time.

With cars, bike and cycle,

a world of our own.

Then, jumping in the pond, play

cricket, secretly smoke cigarettes.

To get the caning for that.

For everything, we were together.

But once school days were over.

3 got departed to 3 different routes.

During those times, one among

the dreams that we saw was.

Bangalore.

"A cage for the green bird"

"A cage with vegetable

window sills"

"A cage for the green bird"

"A cage with vegetable

window sills"

"The groom is coming

for the marriage"

"That is to lock you"

"First comes the marriage"

"Then begins the life"

"First comes the marriage"

"Then begins the life"

"First comes the marriage"

"Then begins the life"

Who is this?

Shobha's colonel brother's son.

The fellow ran away

from boarding school.

"Your hubby, will say beloved

and dear one in the early days"

"You will also say my dear, you

don't remain in the sun shine"

"Oh, then the story will change"

"The real warrior in him erupts

and the weapons will be drawn"

"Hey! Hey! Make that move!

Hey! Hey! Win the duel!"

Hey fellow! Aren't you

a software engineer?

Mind your dignity and

sit somewhere in here.

"Hear? Did you hear?

Once, trapped inside this cage..."

"The blue skies will not be seen

again. Somebody is saying that"

"My beloved, beloved I'll

make a false key"

"Alongside the flying birds,

I, too will fly up in the sky"

"To see how this smarty...

is tamed by her hubby..."

"And to see trapped... There

is a desire to see, in the mind"

"By blocking the entry

of naughty flock of ants"

"He will create a heaven for me"

"First comes the marriage"

"Then begins the life"

"A cage for the green bird"

"A cage with vegetable

window sills"

"A cage for the green bird"

"A cage with vegetable

window sills"

"The groom is coming

for the marriage"

"That is to lock you"

"First comes the marriage"

"Then begins the life"

"First comes the marriage"

"Then begins the life"

"First comes the marriage"

"Then begins the life"

"First comes the marriage"

"Then begins the life"

Divya! Enough of the

dance and play.

Did you forget. It's

your wedding tomorrow?

Come. Come, I say.

Please move back.

"First comes the marriage"

"Then begins the life"

Where? Where is Kunju?

Kunju!

Hey, Aju!

How did you reach here?

Somehow reached.

Brother Kuttan! Come... come...

You come here.

Hello!

Hello!

Brother Kuttan!

Catch me.

My God!

Climb and come, Kuttan.

Hey fellow! This monkey

left me and went.

Did anyone see you

both climbing in?

Then what? Uncle, aunty

and everyone saw.

We came as we didn't

want you dying of depression.

That is not the matter.

When we told that we

wanted to meet you.

Uncle said, she is the bride.

You can't meet hertoday.

Meet hertomorrow

in the marriage hall.

On hearing that, he didn't like it.

Then what? Since, tomorrow

some fellow is going to marry you.

On saying we can't

meet you and all.

Seeing him now, can say, he is the

boy who ran away from school before.

Isn't it, Brother Kuttan?

I wish, I had also run away

from school. Like him.

If it were like that. Would

have remained flying like this.

If everyone becomes like me.

Who will do the software

job in our country?

Look!

Don't talk software.

People begun hating it!

Then why are you doing this job?

That is because.

On fearing aunty.

In brother Kuttan's life father, mother

everyone has got a say in it.

Except for brother Kuttan.

Is it so? Like you.

No, man.

I'm I, not lucky?

A very good smart,

good looking husband.

While studying at school,

what were the things?

All that is over, now it

is arranged marriage.

That was all while

at school, is it not?

You are still not changed.

Then, brother Kuttan

what are the other things?

Now, I left all that.

Left all the girls also?

Go man!

Dropped the racing.

Why is that?

I thought..

I, just can't follow their

rules and regulations.

Aju. Aren't you continuing

the education?

Everyone in here was asking that.

The Kerala, has got the highest

rate of suicides and heart attacks.

Why is that?

The reason for heart attack,

is it not coconut oil?

No, you fellow!

Expectations.

Family members and compatriots.

You are all living inside the pressure

cooker, of others expectations.

When the pressure increases,

the whistle will be blown.

The life gone!

What is the connection

between that and education?

In the very same Kerala.

Has got the highest literacy level.

Now, is there connection?

Afterthe schooling.

Aren't you writing entrance?

On completing degree.

Job, not yet obtained?

On getting the job.

What is the salary?

On getting good salary.

When is the marriage?

After the marriage.

Not yet having the children?

If the baby is not conceived.

Do you want the

number of the doctor?

On conceiving the child.

The same old questions.

For the time being, no one has

got high expectations on me.

Let it remain like that only.

Forget of my case.

How are your things going?

Is the training at Mysore over?

Got ready to go to Bangalore?

Truly speaking, I'm not interested

to leave this place and go.

On going to this

Bangalore and Mysore.

It is like trapped in some place.

If it is here means, we can bath

in our pond, can go to temple.

Can have the Matta,

rice grown in Palaghat.

Are you going there, to

have Matta rice of Palaghat?

That's not the thing.

Somehow I didn't like that much.

Sometimes, I, used to go.

There is a big market

of automobile parts.

But, whatever city, it may be.

Company, should be there.

Then, only can enjoy.

After my arrival, shall

we go for a tour?

Then I'm also joining.

No need, you get married and

be a good girl and stay at home.

Is it so?

Yes.

Hey girl!

Kunju!

Same old behavior.

Divya!

Daughter, Divya!

Haven't you got up yet?

Open up the door, child!

Brother Kuttan! Aju!

Get up!

Won't allow to sleep also.

God! Got fed up with this girl.

How to get up at these times?

Coming, mother.

I'll be there at the marriage stage.

Okay fine, you may go.

Okay.

Good morning, uncle.

Have you landed up here

In the morning itself?

We reached last night itself.

Aju, wait! I'll also come.

God! Daughter, Divya! Oh!

Come down, man.

Is there anyone

else who need flowers?

Make way... make way...

Sister, move aside please.

Divya Prakash, all set?

How do I look?

Like a Christmas tree.
