London Bridge

'LONDON BRIDGE'

'Truly speaking I was not

like this till yesterday'

'Even for making a small decision

today I think quite a lot'

'Perhaps today may become

the most important day in my life'

'That's what I expect'

'ln fact this is definitely

the most important day of my life'

'The most important day'

"Here we go"

"Here we go"

"Here we go"

"Beat the bass...Party is on"

"Everybody...run now"

'Before one could wink

the life of a person could change'

'lt was almost like that

in my case too'

'To tell you precisely

it happened 18 days before'

'The day Kurien and Kumar

came to meet me at my office'

Because brother Kurien is with me...

...hope you would guess

the purpose of our visit

Mr.Vijay you know

brother is in troubles

I know

To tell you the truth

I was wondering if I can donate

my kidney to relieve him from his troubles

Is that made

to be funny Mr.Vijay?

Why did you not relish it?

After taking liquid cash from me

have you come with someone to plead

You dirty

What are you doing?

Leave him

Look Mr.Vijay

Pavan group of companies MD

C.S.Nambiar has sent me here

Kurien is very close to him

In fact sir came to know

about his financial crisis only yesterday

Now Nambiar sir is ready to

clear all his liabilities including yours

I am not bothered

about Nambiar or Chakkiar

I must get my money

11280 pounds

Inclusive of today's interest

that is the amount he owes to me

My God! No Kumar however

you calculate it can't be this high

I swear I have paid interest on many

occasions to the tune of 4000 pounds

Hey man, don't talk

as if we do cattle business

Do you have any proof

for the payments made?

Proof...now it is-

If you have the proof

then show it to me

Don't simply blabber

If you have something in writing

show it to me man

'l knew Kurien will never

have any such proof'

'lt was not out of

any greed for money...'

'...I inflated 4000 pounds

to the money he owes me'

'Because Kurien has troubled me

so much by not paying my dues'

'Besides since Pavan group

companies have intervened...'

'...I guessed they might

pay whatever I demand'

'But my hunch was wrong'

'They asked forthe account

and things reached to fistfights'

'Finally that scene came to

an end this way'

Kurien on his strength

you can go now

But I know the place where your

wife and children live in lndia

I will settle scores

at our land

Nothing Kurien brother

He can't do anything

Before that he would

realise what we are

Will you and Nambiar

take me by the horns?

Go man

- Let's see

- We can

He does not know about CS

Come, let's go

'Out of my excitement

that day I was hostile to Kumar'

'But on second thoughts

I realised it was a big folly'

'Just like wiping a drop

of water from his tache...'

'...he could wipe me out forever'

'Kumar's boss was so

powerful C.S.Nambiar'

You are greed for money

Take it from me you would flourish

only when you get rid of that

Francis brother how can

you also talk like this?

What else can I do?

You do all nonsense

and come to me

I am not St.Francis to

solve all your problems

I am an ordinary

mortal Francis

Earlier also I have intervened

in many issues created by you

On that score I have earned

many enemies too

But this time I am very

sorry to say I will not intervene

Because the opponent

this time is Nambiar

I can't shut my shop dear

You may please carry on

Francis brother-

First he would

come to my office

Then drag me in to this

and the flame would engulf

Let me tell you brother

Yes Francis brother

Vijay, Nambiar called me

He wants to meet you in

the Croydon park club at tomorrow 2 p.m

- What for...?

- He only knows about it

He asked me about

our acquaintance

I told him we have just

met in some social gatherings

You don't give

a different picture to him

What would he think of me?

- What?

- Don't forget

Tomorrow noon at 2 PM

Do as I explained

Good luck!

No brother, l-

Hello...hello?

'l pondered over it

the whole night'

'Finally I decided

come what may...'

'To go and meet

Mr.C.S.Nambiar'

"Everybody...run now"

Excuse me

- Mr.C.S.Nambiar

- He is there

- Thank you

- Welcome

- Nambiar sir

-Yes

- I am Vijay Das

- Oh

You are bang on time

Good

The privilege is mine, sir

Sit

So how are things?

- Going on, sir

- Good

You should have guessed by now

why I wanted to meet you?

Kurien brother is like

a godfatherto me

You knowthose days

when I came to London...

...he helped me quite a lot

No sir, actually it was a mistake

Have you seen this?

Central London's private

investigation agency called Wheelers...

...on my instruction inquired

about you and has sent this mail to me

In 2003 November on a student Visa

from lndia you have come to London

Is that correct?

But for many including me the earlier days

in London were not so pleasant

Might have been so

for you too, right?

Wash room assistant

kitchen assistant

Barman and many

jobs of this type

During that time you met

solicitor Francis of Eastham

That was a big

turning point in your life

You are right, sir

After coming to London

Francis brother gave me a job

which I could proudly mention to others

Perhaps out of his fear for me

he did not say all these to me yesterday

Anyway at that point

through advocate Francis...

...you took over a loss making

corner shop and started running it

It was your good fortune

that the shop started making profits

And now in many areas of East London's

you have 10 to 12 corner shops

Besides you run

a money lending enterprise

So Vijay Das is flying high

- lsn't it?

- Nothing like that, sir

Sir, before you-

I am going through that mail

my rage about you vanished

Because what I read was

my own story 30 years ago

Those days it was

Kurien brother for me

Now it is Francis

that was the difference

I have earned enough

I have lost the passion

to earn more long ago

Because I could sustain

my hard earned money

I had lots of tragedies in family life

5 years ago

I lost my wife

The very next year

in an accident I lost my son too

He was only 26

Now my only solace

is my daughter Pavitra

A guy who knows everything

the tricks and turns of business...

...should become her life partner

I am very particular about it

Then only my hard earned

wealth would sustain

My quick decisions and intuitions

were always right in my life

On such an intuition

I am asking you

Can you marry my daughter?

Sir?

'l first thought Nambiar

was fooling me'

'But I realised it was not so when

we both reached Croydon High street'

To show an interesting scene

I have brought you here

The sole heir of a business empire

worth 5000 million pounds...

...is begging there in the streets

She is my biggest

problem now

Her charity

and literature antics

I can at least tolerate

But see this

"Along the lake I see a heart throbbing

in sandy wind through the deserts"

Who is this?

He is from Kerala

Surendran Kanjani

My daughter's

ex boy friend
