What do youngsters want?

Just think?

A good job and a beautiful

girl to marry.

And till 45 years, after saving

money in installments,

buy a small land away

from the city,

build a house in 800sq. Ft and

paint it in yellow colour,

and then read papers like

Indian Express or Hindu,

and die thinking only about "My family,

my life & my children".

Get lost.

Would Mahatma Gandhi also had

thought in the same vein,

if so, would the country had ever

got its independence?

If Thomas Alva Edison would

have thought like this,

would the country had ever got

Electric power?

If Graham Bell would have thought

like this,

Then nobody would have had ever spoken

on a telephone or a cell phone.

Even a small worm like the silk worm

gives silk and then dies.

We are after all human beings.

Who is he?

What is the relation between

him and you?

Why should he wait for you from

5 'O' clock in the morning?

Son, why have you come?

Our country is also

crippled like me.

Leader, make it stand tall and walk.

Greetingsl

In the polls, people's party

leader Pugazhendhi,

has won with record creating

vote margin.

Candidates belonging to his party

have won in all their constituencies.

With an absolute majority,

it has created a new record.

All the candidates of all the parties,

who opposed him in the elections...

First time in the History of World

Politics 97% voting has been recorded.

For the first time a 28 year old guy

has become a C. M of a state.

Candidates of all the parties who

contested against him,

have lost their deposit.

It is history in World Politics...

Best wishes from beautiful devil.

Greetings to everyone!

What, I expect from you

people is that,

What I did in one day, we should all

make it permanent feature,

and to do that excellently,

I have appointed 2 Ministers

in each department.

An intelligent veteran!

And a zealous young man!

We have Laws for everything, but they

are all ineffective.

They'll leak, till there

are holes in it.

Till the mistakes are

being committed,

However good administration we

may give its a total waste.

First, we should identify the mistake

committed in every corner of this State,

and rectify them immediately.

We have to punish the

wrong doer.

For that I am going to introduce

a new scheme.

Complaint Box.

But, we have a complaint register

in all the departments.

Then, why are the mistakes

being committed?

Because, its beyond reach.

Not only that complaints

registered there,

go to the same concerned

authorities,

who never take action on it and

close the file.

It has become an ineffective

customary symbol.

But, this Complaint box will be

there in every street of Tamil Nadu.

If water doesn't come in taps,

or if electricity fails...

If roads are in bad shape.

Adulteration, bribes...

Not only I.A. S, I.P. S or Ministers,

even if I commit a mistake,

people can make a complaint

without getting scared.

Action will be taken

within 24 hours.

Maximum 1 week, to rectify any

difficult problem.

For this, I am going to start

a new department.

That'll be "COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT".

It'll be under my direct supervision.

The day, when complaints thin out

& complaint boxes become redundant,

only then we can say that the

administration is good.

And to achieve this we are going

to dedicate ourselves.

A green horn, in one election has

screwed up all our political lives.

Till, he runs the govt. We have to

keep off Politics.

We'll have to go back to our villages

to start business afresh.

That, isn't very easy.

On his instructions, Enforcement

Directorate is after our black money.

He must have been a bandicoot

in his previous birth.

He's dug up all the old files and

has registered more than 800 cases!

He'll not rest till he puts all of

us behind bars at the earliest.

We'll have to precede him.

There is no other way than to

assassinate him.

Sir, what?

Didn't you say there is a

party in Bombay?

Not one sir, there are many.

Like acid throwers, stranglers,

poisoning specialists.

Injecting needles, Bomb specialists...

Get the Bomb making specialist.

That's best suited for our terrain.

And also its very easy to throw

the blame on others.

Pugazhendhi has sent me to give

you this present.

Oops! Cell phone to a rustic

village girl!

C. M is on the line, press

OK button and speak.

Hello... Hello.

I'll go, you carry on.

Hello. - Thenmozhi, How are you?

Do you still remember me?

Don't kill me Thenmozhi!

On assuming duty, I had received

many bouquets from P. M, President...

But the one sent by you,

a rustic bouquet.

You don't know, how much happiness

it had given me?

How much I was fretting and

fuming to meet you?

Nobody is there to stop me.

But, I couldn't get rid of myself

from my responsibility.

I had telephoned many times at

Chettiyar's house.

Your father hanged the phone saying

you were out of station.

That's why, I have sent you

this cell phone.

You can talk to me, whenever you

wish to, on this cell phone.

Will you never ever come and see

me again?

I'll come on Sunday.

I'll be waiting for

this Sunday.

There are 6 nights and 5 days, I fear

something might happen by then.

My father is seriously searching a

Govt. Employee groom in the vicinity.

Like a Post man, Lines man

Health Worker, Mill Inspector.

I am under constant fear.

Don't worry! - Software Technologists are

waiting for you.

Okay! I'll speak to you later!

Hello. - I have to speak to him.

To him, means who is him?

There are 36 "Him's" here.

Why even I am also a "Him" only.

Which, "Him" do you want to speak to?

I am Thenmozhi speaking!

Thenmozhi, why didn't you say it earlier

that it was you?

I have arranged all that.

- Sir call for you.

Who is it? - Ogre!

Tell her that I'll

speak later.

He's busy, he said he'll speak

to you later.

Hello, C. M's. Special P.A.

Palavesham speaking,

I am Thenmozhi speaking!

Thenmozhi, I am Palavesham speaking!

Are you fine?

Damn with your enquiries!

Call him first.

He is in a very important meeting.

After the meeting, I'll inform him

that you had called.

Go to hell! You never inform him!

He has never called me back.

I am feeling miserable without him.

A C. M's job is like that...

His time no more belongs to

him. Try to understand.

Subscriber you're calling is not

reachable at the moment.

Please try again later.

Oh chief minister... chief minister...

Oh chief. Look at me.

Don't you've time for romance?

I'm worried after coming

to the edifice of our love.

Won't I have the relief of your kisses?

You're hearing the sound of weapons.

Why can't you hear

the sound of my bangles?

Oh chief minister.

Oh chief minister.

Allot some time...

and write notes on my shoulders.

I'll sign on your heart

with the ink of honey.

You allot money for the

welfare of the country.

You allot some time to me

to make my life happy.

There is prosperous life

for the chief minister.

You're an exception for that.
