Pannaiyarum Padminiyum Page #2

We sang and danced till break of dawn"

"Jiving through jungles and mounds

Diving and dipping in our many rounds"

"Pick of the litter, number one

Like lightning springs into action"

"Our dear Padmini premier

Make way for this cute 4 wheeler"

Wait, son

Stop the car a little

Bear with it

for a bit more, dear

"Like the decoy hay-man we'll wait

in the edge of our village for this Fiat"

"We'll roast in the sun, lingering forever

Seeing the car we'll take wing together"

"Rooster shaking his comb and head

we squabbled to catch single handed"

"In the streets where small kids run

to the joy of honking we succumb"

"Little car, you are like our mother

You are our family deity like no other"

"Through woods we'll steer our car

We'll zip zap zoom in our route far"

"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang of India

flashes like lightning in euphoria"

"Move aside for our Godsend

For our fine 4-fendered friend"

"High low joy-riding

Like a chariot gliding"

"Thanks to Walchand Doshi

leave way for our lovely Padmini"

He's been asking you to

buy oil cake all these days

And you haven't

got it even today, no?

Am I roaming around jobless?

Drink your porridge

Don't do any work

Just happily loaf around town

Only job for you and your husband

is to give me jobs to do

Lord Muruga!

You're right, we must

never ask sir to do any work

He goes to the market so often

He'll run errands for everyone else

- But he won't lift his finger for us

- I'll buy it this evening

Expect me to believe you?!

Have you ever done

anything I asked you to?

Why is he eating plain porridge?

Give him some dried-chilies

- Has brother left?

- Sir is eating

You're the 1st folks to

hire a cleaner for a car!

Why...is it infra dig for 'sir'

to wash the car, huh?

Jinx-boy that you are, if you sit

in front will it be auspicious?

If you can't stand my face,

give me your photo

I'll hang it as mascot

in front of the car

No, I asked you to

mix your bran properly

You jolly well mind

your own business!

Move your butt!

Why chit chat with my father?

Peedai...wretched boy!

- Grab the cycle...let's scoot

If we get caught,

we'll be 'bran'ded!

She's here?! Wonder

what will be taken today

Maaaa?

Suja has come

I don't know why

She has started talking

to him just now

Wait...he'll come

That's okay, dear, but unless

you tell me your problem...

...how can I sort it out?

What can it be, father-

Ask your husband

to come and eat

We ate before we came here

I made rice pancakes

- Everything is a problem

- Tell me what you want, dear

Don't do this, father

I already have a gloriously

'good' name in this house

They say every time I come here

I take something or the other away

It's not like I'm stealing

from someone else's house

I don't have the right to

take stuff from my own father?

Who else has that right

but you, my child?

You are always

my top priority

First tell me what you want

Whenever I want to know

what's happening in your life...

...I have to come this far

How many ever times

I call you, you don't visit me

I'm not able to be

without seeing you

He's a workaholic to the core

For the past 2 months

our phone hasn't been working

No one has fixed it

That's all?

I'll get you a new phone

within 2 days and send it over

No, don't, then I'll get

pulled up by my mother for this

You have the old

phone here, no?

Just lying around here

He said that's enough

You get yourself a new phone

It's not old, dear

It's in perfect condition

Uh...huh, that's enough, father

That's what I was wondering

about the purpose of your visit

Look here, mother

I didn't ask for a new phone

Oh yes! You're a real good girl

Don't take a dig at her

You take it home, dear!

You heard how she spoke?!

- I told you-

- Ignore her

Madam?

You called me?

Take this coffee and

give it to my son-in-law

Dai! You give it

- Okay, ma

Peedai

Buffalo!

Go and give it

I can't stand that chap's face

Son-in-law...here, coffee

You seem to

have got a paunch?!

Yes...must reduce it

I didn't mean your tummy

I meant the flab on your face!

Don't shake it around too much

Just keep giving her

everything we have

One fine day,

we'll have nothing left

Leave it, whom else will we

give our possessions to?

Possessions?

What's remaining?

You've already given away

all that we possess

This whole place is bare

All that's left is this house

Give her that also

We'll just keep staring

at each other's faces

Get down...go

After I come back we can

all go for a ride together

- Let's go

- Move aside

You get in

Why do you lock

all the doors?

Where are you running off to

the moment you got back home?

He's been away so long

Wonder what's happened

Shall I go and check, brother?

He was sick

for quite some time

They want to take him to his son's house

I don't know what they'll do now

Scoot

Lord Muruga, forgive me

for my wayward thoughts

Coffee...?

Brother's on a sacred vow

He won't drink coffee

Muruga...Muruga

Don't let me get tempted

- Murugesa?

- Sir?

We have to take him

to his son's house

He was ailing for long, taking him

in a bullock cart isn't advisable

Let them take our car

Drop me at home

And bring the car back here

You've taken a sacred vow

So you can't drive them

I've asked for another driver

You got another driver?

- Who else can drive a car?

- There's someone in the next village

I've sent for him

There's no man in their family

to organize the funeral

No, you wait here

I'll be right back

Murugesa!

Didn't you see him

the other day also? -I've told him

Where did you guys go?

- He broke his vow

- Where is he?

Idiot!

I've asked you not to do anything

without consulting me first

How can you take off the sacred thread

without fulfilling your vow?

What'll you do if you're cursed?

Nothing like that will happen

I'll finish this trip and put it back

Is it a chain you can

put on and off as you like?

You said no one else

is there to accompany them

What will that poor girl

do all by herself?

God won't do anything if I take off

the thread to do something good

They need a hand now

Let me drive you home

Be careful

- Move...move

Open the door...fast

Take care of the body

Hold his head

1st take the corpse in

Find out the relatives

of the dead man

Don't take my life out!

How are you related?

- Uncle

- Then get in

Go in front

- Get in the front

You are sitting on

the dead man's face

Get down now

He'll get squished

Hold the rope carefully

if he falls, don't blame us

Lord Muruga!

Don't make me look at her

"I speak love's language

Only my eyes flash the message"

"I converse in the language of love

Wordless through my eyes' alcove"

"Who is this village angel, kindly assign

How do I explain this pain of mine?"

"Mind is eager to take

as mine for my own sake"

"Lift to eternal heights above

Who can question your move?"

"God above is witness

Watching you with indulgence"

'Aiyo! Look how they have

tied you up there'
