Do you know it?

No, no. l was just asking.

-What do you think about our project.

- Do it well.

Of course.

l'm hoping you'll hep me.

We need a USP.

We should give the

guests a new experience.

We're aiming at high-end clients.

We'll charge them 10,OOO and above.

But there should be good facilities.

We're looking for foreigners.

They should feel adventurous.

We'll take them trekking,

and bird watching.

They'll be happy.

That's the plan.

l hope you'll help me.

Hey!

l hope you'll help me.

Hmm...

- What happened, Sir?

-You've not gone to bed?

l warned you it will

be cold outside.

She's used to it.

But you're not.

l came to tell you something.

You need to go to

Cheenkannipara.

Just tell me when

to go. Okay?

Ok.

Pillecha!

Has the resort been named?

Don't come there using my name.

l knowyou're coming to see him.

-You want to give me a bad name?

- l thought l'd give you some publicity.

Things are going well now.

You needn't come there

for the sake of my publicity.

Why are you angy with me?

As if l've made a big mistake.

Look l've to shave my beard

before Chandran closes shop.

But he doesn't open

his shop on Tuesdays.

Today's Tuesday?

Yesterday was Monday.

So today is Tuesday.

Have you set out

to ruin my day?

You'll tire yourself out

walking up to there!

Getting in my way unnecessarily!

When l knowtoday's a beautiful Wednesday.

Trouble-maker!

Drink it while it's warm.

You'll feel better after you sweat.

You're not used to

sleeping in the cold.

-Aren't you going to Cheenkannipara?

- l've already been.

- Did you do it?

- Do what?

- Then why did you go?

-You asked me to go.

l had a shave as well.

Take this too.

Sleep for a while more.

Take one more tablet aRer lunch.

He's not fit forthese things.

He's planning to go to Thalakaani.

l didn't want to tell you.

- How did he come to know about it?

- Everyone knom it.

Even l told him.

There's a reckless guy nearby.

He's the one who's persuaded him.

lf he asks you, tell him

that you don't know anything.

Let's also not talk about it.

He looks like a harmless guy.

May be.

He's ambitious.

But not capable of anything.

Look at him lying there.

Some people are like that.

''Far off

In a dark-blue land''

''Does honey drip

from the nightingale's song?''

''Far off

In a dark-blue land''

''Does honey drip

from the nightingale's song?''

''At the bottom of high mountains where

Chains of clouds descend into the forest''

''Are there wild honey flowers?''

''Within the limits ofthe

dark silent sky''

''Within the limits''

''ln the path that has

never had a footprint''

''ln that path''

''Who are you searching for?

Who is it?''

''Desires that fly like a feather''

''Desires''

''Far off

In a dark-blue land''

''Does honey drip

from the nightingale's song?''

''A head full of

life's intoxication''

''An eye-lash

full of unknown thirst''

''The chariot ofthe mind

wandering constantly''

''Day and night''

''Hey wanderer,

Come let's go''

''Who are you searching for?

Who is it?''

''Desires that fly like a feather''

''Desires''

''Far off

In a dark-blue land''

''Does honey drip

from the nightingale's song?''

Hey look! What we discussed

yesterday is in the newspaper.

''Those interested in

traveling in a forest kindly contact.''

''Young people with forest travel

experience will be considered''

''Apply by e-mail with a photograph''

Show me.

l would apply ifyou put an ad.

Why don't you ty?

- l was just kidding that day.

-Alright then!

Hey...

Are you serious about it?

You crack a lot ofjokes.

What does this mean?

Call me Sameera.

Tell me.

Sameera, are you serious

orjust teasing me?

What do you think?

l'd like to go.

- Will you come with me?

-Where?

lt's a dense forest.

Have you heard of Thalakaani?

Shhhhh!

Come here.

Spotted deer.

lt's the first time l'm

seeing them here.

l haven't seen them in a long time.

They're rare.

lt's a good omen.

- Have you heard of Mareejan?

-Who's that?

-What about you, dear?

- No.

Spotted deer are

also called Mareejan.

lt's from the Ramayanam.

Haven't you heard of it?

Balan Chetta, where is Thalakaani?

l haven't been there.

It's far away.

No one goes there, dear.

l like going to places

where no one goes.

Sameera!

Another Mareejan!

lt'll take us 3 days

to get to Paandipath.

After camping there we can

go anywhere we want.

- Howfar is Thalakaani from Paandipath?

- Not vey far.

- Then let's camp out at Thalakaani.

- No Sir.

Paandipath is a better

place to spend the night.

- Water is easily available there.

- We need water.

That's what l'm saying.

So that's 6 days to and fro.

You decide howmany more

days you want to stay.

We can't say that without

seeing the place.

-Approximately?

-Approximately...

54 days.

We'll have to cary food.

We'll buy eveything.

Don't wory.

Things can be bought.

But howwill we cary it all?

l knowa boy.

We'll take him along.

- l don't want many people.

-We need people.

lt's hard to

cary such a load.

There won't be anyone

to help in the forest.

-Who's the boy?

- He stays nearby.

Do we need to cary all this?

Won't we get anything in the forest?

- Ifyou have a gun.

- That's not what l meant.

-What about fruits or vegetables?

-You'll knowwhen you get there.

There forest holds eveything.

But nothing's within our reach.

Forget it.

Howmuch grain

do you think we'll need?

Five people,

about 1 kg per meal.

That'll be a lot.

- There's something else we need too.

-What?

- Money!

-Yeah...

- Of course we need money.

- Of course.

Who's this lady?

Sir, l've somehowconvinced her.

She's an accredited international

scout for nature tourism.

Scout?

She discovers tourist spots

and tells tourist companies.

lf she writes on the internet there'll

be no stopping the tourists.

lt will benefit us.

- But why do you need 25 thousand?

- It will cost that much.

We should have an idea

about the money.

The sleeping bags and tents that

we buy nowcan be used again.

So it's as an investment.

We need to pay a guide,

porters...

lt will cost that much.

- Is there any chance?

- That l'll have to ask her.

Shucks!

That's not what l meant.

Will it reach people

through the internet?

- Of course.

- Then go get it done.

Come here!

Hope you're not planning

to chill out at our expense.

- Never.

- Okay.

11 15 17 19 21 ...,

11, 15, 17, 19, 21...

This is 25.

That's what you asked for.

-What about your commission?

-What?

You don't want it?

Note it down in my account.

l'll collect it later.

No. No.

You must keep it.

Get offwith you.

Playing around!

-Whom is this medicine for?

-Your mom is sick.

She was at Pulikkan's for a week.

There's a lot of medicine.

lsn't it available there?

lt's cheaper here.

Then you should've

asked Anumol to come.

- She has to go to work.

- Then you should've asked Santhosh.

He is busy with his wedding.

Moreover he's not the one

who should be doing all this.
