Kireedam (The crown)

Sub Inspector Sethu.

Here's ur 'little rascal', Dad.

What happened, sir ?

Why do u laugh in ur sleep, early in the morning

Is it morning already ?

- Dont u hear the church bells?

Seeing unnecessary dreams In ur old age, are u ?

- Oh, stop it.

Chacko,

They say that daydreams materialize, dont they?

So its exactly as i thought. Why dont u say ur prayers or something before u go to sleep?

Oh, u're acting crazy early in the morning.

"It is impossible to imagine the size of an atom. The size of the nucleus is even smaller."

Mom ! Dad is back.

"It is impossible to imagine the size of an atom, the size of the nucleus is even smaller, an atom..."

Hey, are u really reading to learn, or simply to show off?

It's for both ! I can learn as well as showoff to everyone else !

Do u think he will make a good lawyer? He has a reply for everything.

Dad, u're a typical policeman. U criticize anything I do

If I read silently, u ask why I'm dreaming. If I read aloud, that's also criticized

Read however u want.

But when ur results come, it better be 1st class. Else I'll beat the skin off ur leg.

Doesn't she have any work other than kitchen work ? She has exams next month.

What can I do? If I ask her to read, she goes out with that pot and launches into her chores.

So its easy for u, Mom. If there's work to be done in the kitchen, just ask sister to study,

Then u can rest, mom

- Get lost.

Let's get a house next to a well with water in the summer, else i'll suffer drawing water in a next few months.

Lets see. We are'nt gettng one cheap enough for my wallet. The owner wants to increase rent of this house even.

After Sethu's interview and personality test are over, we'll be fine. Then u need only demand what house u want.

Oh God. May everything go well

It will. Today morning, i saw a dream.

I shall retire along with my pension only after saluting him as my superior.

Sethu, bro.

Hey, let me sleep.

- Dad is coming in

So what should I do ? Stand upside down ?

That might help. Or else u're going to get scolded.

For "not exercising, putting on weight, being careless.." etc

Be my alibi. Tell him I started exercise early in the morning

Do not speak when u perform Sheershasana.

Dont speak during exercise. Its bad for u

She was asking me to stop atleast now. I started at 5 am. What would she know about exercise.

True. But u dont need to do 2 hours.

Oh no. Already u're complaining that I'm overweight. I wont accept failure, I'll break these flabs down.

Excuse me?

I need to reduce these flabs, slim down...

-U need daily exercise of atleast half an hour for that.

And stop ur hogging. Who're u trying to fool ?

Have u been exercising regularly after ur physical test ?

- Dad, I exercise daily, isnt it ?

U're going to get a smacking from me. I overheard u earlier.

Along with interview there's a personality test. To pass it, u need to be stout.

I know that. I'd slept late yesterday, preparing for the written test. It's not easy, I need to read many books to get general knowledge.

Yea that is needed. But u need some physical fitness too !

Tomorrow onwards, even if the sky falls on my head, I wont stop exercising.

And food?

Rascal.

Ramesh.

- Here I come.

Are u joining for coffee? Dad and bro are waiting.

Ramesh.

- Here I come.

Are u joining for coffee? Dad and bro are waiting.

Stop it

Eww, what is on ur face?

- Its called a moustache

Stop it

Look here. What have u drawn on ur face ?

- Mustache, maybe.

Maybe it's him

I don't even have the freedom to draw a mustache in this house?

I've never used the cane on my kids. But u're pushing it.b it out

I don't even have the freedom to draw a mustache in this house?

I've never used the cane on my kids. But u're pushing it.b it out

He will surely get it from u.

2 idlis? Mom what're u thinking? No wonder I put on weight.

Well, u usually eat 10-15.

Well if u compel me to eat a lot like this..

-Shut up.

Mom, do know what a personality test is ?

Oh, not at all.

Ask here, u will know. But I'm allowed 2 idlis, am I not, Dad ?

Yes, u can have 2 in the morning. A banana and a glass of milk also.

- Add 2 eggs, 4 plantains.

Will u shut up ?

- There's no freedom to joke around here ?

He'll surely get it from me this time.

- Eat

Devi

It's past 9.30 already. Are u coming ?

- Coming.

Krishna, come here. Who's picture is this ?

Why're u so impatient, Krishna ? Let her eat something first.

Krishna, come here. Who's picture is this ?

- This is an ad for a tonic.

This is how a man should look. Check out his biceps. Does this tonic make u like this?

Why, u want to try a bottle of it, Mom ?

- Not me. Why not a bottle for our Sethu ?

Talking about Sethu, are we? Achu uncle already scolds him for being overweight.

Mom wants Sethu to turn into this. Do u plan to turn him into a wrestler ?

He plans to become a cop, doesnt he ? He needs a fit body to beat those criminals up.

U've never seen Granddad, have u ?

He was built like this dude right here. Ur dad is nowhere like him though.

All those genes went directly to Sethu.

Will u come with me, or listen to her stories ?

- Grandma, its late. We'll continue when I'm back from school, ok?

Speak of the devil and here he comes.

- Grandma's made grand plans to get u fit.

Mocking me?

- What do school teachers know of body building ?

Now u're mocking us, eh ?

- No uncle, I was mocking her actually.

Yea right, as if cops knew better.

U only know how to teach alphabets to the kids. Would u get that teacher job without a 20k bribe?

Well, I passed the TTC too.

- As if the TTC was like the IAS. Buzz off.

Heard ur well is dry. Are u short of water ?

- Yea, not a single bucket of water.

Why do u people stay at a rented place, when u can stay here.

This is ur Mom's home. I told ur Dad umpteen times to stay here.

Hmm, Achu has his self-respect.

- This is more like self-disrespect. Let's go.

Granny, lets move into our plans.

- U should build muscles like that dude in the newspaper.

Aunt, ur steamcake is always delicious.

- Stop flattering me and finish ur breakfast.

Ur granddad's menu in the morning: 2 steamcakes.Then 2 long bananas.

An egg,few glasses of milk. Men should eat like that.

- Oh my. How did he digest all this?

Yea, that's what martial artists can do. They can swallow stone and digest it like water.

They can take on 10 men, all alone. Once, there was a fight at Kavushery festival.

Some 10-30 fellows, against granddad alone.

A few punches here and there, the whole lot of them fell like a falling tree.

U've got his looks and traits, dont forget.

Check this out granny, I am strong enough handle two or three people easily.

Hey, these are not enough. U must learn martial arts.

Why dont u eat, Granny.

- No, u eat.

Please eat granny.

- No no, u have it dear.

Dad is coming.

So what?

- Here, shall I pour u more curry ?

What're u doing, kid ? U said u were hungry ?

Stopped eating because u saw me? Found it hard to reduce ur diet, eh?
