Don't be silly.

Have you spoken to him?

What are his plans?

He wants you to fix up a

job for him.

Then, am I not the collector so

that I can get him a job?

Ask him to go back.

Who is there for him?

After his parent's death, he's

under his brother-in-law's thumb.

He can't go home without a job.

Did you speak to him?

I heard him talking to mother.

If you talk to him... I warn you,

my character is bad.

If he can't go home, ask him

to rent a room.

Why don't you tell him?

His parents had helped me a lot.

How can I tell this to him directly?

Wake up, my friend... wake up.

Did you take bath? - Yes.

Shall we eat now?

- Of course.

It is 3 months since

I had home food.

I am very hungry, come.

The rents are too high

now-a-days.

Rs 250 for this house, just for

a kitchen & a bed room.

We three sleep in one room.

Compared to Bombay, this

is Heaven.

There, 8 persons sleep in a room

smaller than this.

Lathika is a grown up girl,

isn't it?

I am unable to give

her some privacy.

When you say eight persons, all of

you must be men.

Not only men,

There, Rama menon, his wife, their

daughter & 5 of us sleep together...

If we're true to ourselves,

then we can sleep anywhere.

Since you were in Bombay, why don't

you meet your sister's family?

It is not necessary.

Can I have your pen?

This address is very near, why don't

you go in person?

I already know it. It's an urgent

matter, how soon will they get it?

I'll send it within half an hour.

There is a telegram for you.

Tomorrow, you've to join Bangalore

office by 9 am.

M. D has sent it personally.

Tomorrow, if I don't join by 9 A.M.,

I'll lose my job.

Mother, Lathika, start immediately.

There is a train at 6.30.

Can't we all start later

after packing?

We'll take necessary items now.

My office people will send the rest.

Sethu, are you not going home?

I thought, I'll come along with you.

There're many good companies there,

Where I can find a job?

This is not the right time for you to

come. Once we settle down there, .

We'll send you a telegram

to join us.

Okay. Till then, I can stay

here, isn't it?

That's impossible. Landlord will not

allow you to stay here.

So, go home. I'll send you the

telegram there.

If I go home...

So what? I will call you

within 2 days.

Let him also come along

with us, son.

Don't give suggestions without knowing

the matter, go inside.

So, shall I go home?

- That's good.

Don't forget to inform me once

you reach there.

Of course. So you are starting right

now? Hurry up, pack up.

We met after such a long time, yet we

couldn't be together for 4 days.

I'll send you the telegram.

You must come.

Yes. Certainly.

See you.

Is this the Railway Station?

No, this is the theater. We'll watch a

movie & go back home tonight.

What about Bangalore?

There was no other way to

get rid of him.

You wicked one, isn't he the son of

Kottakkal Amshadikari?

Then, you go with

that Amshadikari.

If you want, you come with me.

Taxi, please wait.

You haven't gone?

- What about you?

I didn't get a bus. - There is bus at

9'o clock to Kottakkal.

Strike. - What strike?

Conductor slapped the driver.

- What?

The driver slapped the conductor.

- What?

A passenger was hit.

- Why didn't you go?

I didn't get reservation.

Won't you lose your job, if you

don't join by tomorrow?

I've informed them. You'll be

going tomorrow isn't it?

My good luck. - What?

I am lucky to see you, Mother

and Lathika.

The strike must be over by now.

You go fast... - I'll go tomorrow.

Did you have anything?

- No, mother.

Come. I'll prepare something

for you.

Madhavan, wasn't the telegram part of a

set up to get rid of me?

Yes, Similarly, the strike was also

cooked up by you, right?

Yes.

I had told you about

the inconveniences.

Do you think, I didn't

get you?

I understood everything.

Rs.10,000 which I had received

after selling a bus,

That was spent for my

visa processing.

I can't go home without

a job.

When I went to our native place,

I got some news.

Actually when I saw you in the morning,

I was shocked.

I am myself struggling here.

- Any kind of job.

What job? - Anything will do.

Difficult, even if you have to

plead with someone,

It will take a long time.

Let it take time. Where will

you stay until then?

Here?

Sethu, brothers with grown up sisters

are always under pressure.

No way, I am not

that type.

Whichever type you are,

it will not work.

Why don't you try a lodge?

I need money for that.

What was your idea in coming empty

handed? What is in your bag?

It is full of dirty clothes.

The clothes stitched for my Dubai trip.

I'll pay the lodge rent for

the time being.

But you must repay it

when you get a job.

Punnakal Lodge rooms

for rent.

No fan, isn't it?

- No.

Too hot, isn't it?

Do you expect an AC in

an Rs.8 rent room?

There must be bedbugs here.

- Sit and kill them.

Within two days, you can wipe out the

whole clan. Anyway, you are jobless.

I'll come and meet you here.

You don't come home.

Okay, bye, see you later.

Atlast, the committee has taken

some important decisions.

You know about the happenings

in the colony.

I forwarded the idea.

You will also have to contribute

Rs.10. - For what?

To pay salary. - For whom?

My proposal to keep a watchman for the

colony has been approved by all.

Security? - Has anything untoward

happened here?

Isn't prevention better

than cure?

I have no objection

to it.

But spare me from the Rs.10

contribution. It's difficult.

Can't you spare Rs.10

per month?

Is there any benefit

from it?

This security is not needed

for my office.

It is not right for you alone

to be out of it.

The idea is to collect Rs.500 from

50 houses as the Gurkha's salary.

How can you find a watchman for a

lesser amount?

I've no knowledge of

Gurkhas(watchman).

Have you found a watchman

for Rs.500?

Now-a-days, it is difficult

to get a Gurkha.

I'm planning to advertise in the

newspaper. Will you not support us?

No, I'm not a resident of this colony.

It won't work out.

With such a big board outside,

none will think that you're so bankrupt.

Yes, I am bankrupt.

- Watchman!

This woman is slightly mad, Isn't it?

Look, you better come inside,

he might abuse us.

No, I'm not running away. Being the

colony Secretary, let me handle him.

I have no peace.

- No.

As the Secretary of the colony,

I'm going to advice you.

Alcohol is poison. Drunkards

ruin the community...

Get lost.

He has started early today.

The uncultured. Apparently he was in

love with somebody, hence his fate.

What is wrong if a girl ditches

such a man?

Sister, when you came to the office,

I was a little off mood.

I will gladly contribute Rs.10 or

Rs.20 for the Gurkha.

But, do you need a real Gurkha?

Won't an ordinary man do?

No way. We need a genuine Gurkha.

Won't a healthy Malayalee be enough?

What do you say, sister?

Thieves fear only a real Gurkha.

Moreover if a Gurkha kills or stabs,
