of a person in Dubai

I guess you'll conduct it

in a way worthy of you

Sure

Have your tea

Here's your change

What's the problem brother?

Arun's uncle and the

marriage broker met me

They are backing out

of this marriage proposal

Everything right up to

the wedding day is fixed

What's the issue?

They've somehow come to know

Nirmala has no property of her ovm

Who says so?

She can live in our house

for as long as she wants

That's exactly the problem

She can only live there

It's not her ovm, isn't it?

They should have enquired

about all this earlier, isn't it?

Nowwhen everything else is fixed...?!

They do have a point

I can think of

only one option

What's that brother?

Let's give up that

house to Nirmala?

Give that house?

What do mean, brother?

I am ready to Mite off

my share of it to her

Your share?

Remember, 15 years ago you took...

...Rs 25000 from me to open this shop

You maintain clear accounts

Agreed that I did take money

But in all these years,

do you know the mrorth...

...of provisions taken from here?

I have not kept account like you

Narayana...

We have given Nirmala a plot

of 8 cent in front of our house

I'll ask her to

bequeath it to you

You build a new house

worthy of your stature there

Do you think the old house

is fit for a person like you?

What did all of you

say all these days?

That he was toiling in Dubai

for the sake of his family here

Now look what happened?

What are you saying Nirmala?

From the time I remember

Narayanan has done just that

It only appears like that

for outsiders like you

He sends money every month

for Pushpa's son's education

There's so much more

important things to be done here

But such things will not

bring get him good name

Chandra'etan promised

to give up his share

He's not willing even though

am mlriting off my 8 cent to him

That's why I always say

adversity brings out true colors

This is a deliberate game played

by Chandra'etan and Nirmala'edathi

Otherwise how did she know it

even before you reached home'?

You speak as if

it's a game of football

They are actually tossing

our life around like a football

Brother does have point

She does not have

anyone other than us

Let the wedding plans continue

and allow her some happiness

Nowl'll tell you something

which will make you happy as well

I am going back to Dubai

You spoke the truth Nalini

People like me can't live here

We'll bequeath

this house to Nirmala

Let that marriage happen.

We'll build a house on

the 8 cent plot

A small house

Moreover, my guilt that I didn't do

enough for my ovlm family will clear

Smitha borrowed my chain for the function

She has not returned it

Anyway you have to give her

a gift for the wedding

Now don't bother asking it back

We carry our passports like

our life depended on it

Since I'd decided not to go back

I've forgotten where I left it

When is the wedding?

June 12th

Good Lord!

I'm going out

A few more invitations to be given

We have already

spoken to Chandran

You should have

seen to it earlier

I didn't realize

the VISA expires

Chandra'etan did explain

I just came to put in a request

Purely for my own peace of mind

I arranged everything to get

my 3 sisters married

But was not lucky enough

to participate in their weddings

Just 2 days

If xme prepone the marriage

by 2 days

I can also participate

My relatives live

in different parts

They have already made their

travel plans and booked tickets

Do I have to upset all that

just for you to participate?

Of course not! Your guests

are most important

I was foolish in asking

I didn't want to

have any regrets later

People like me

are destined only..

...to see from afar

such festive occasions

There are a few houses here

I must step in to invite

The funny part is...

...the person inviting

is never there during the wedding

Em

E:

Okay then

Pull it ashore

Wdiim'?

E:

Who are you?

I went to Dubai

years ago in your launch

N aray an an

The ocean continues

to provide for me

I'm not like those

who crossed over

One person toils while the rest

of the family enjoy the fruits

This happens only

in this part of the world

Hereafter, it won't matter

if you didn't come

They'll feel sad only if

your money-order stops coming

They will forget how

you sheltered them...

...from the storms and

tempests in life

Finally, stand like an old umbrella

in some corner of your house

Your life will

end only like that

Who cares what

happens to you?

I didn't see the wedding saree

- Where is it?

- Looks great

This saree will suit Smita very well

I was the one who insisted

You were all very doubtful

Are leaving already?

Why so early?

Anyway I have to leave

I thought I'll a bit leave early

Smith's wedding saree

How does it look?

Good

What about for the others?

Sure, everyone gets a saree

After staying back so many days

when I think you won't be there...?

If I did stay back, they'd

send me home forever

I just can't my dear

I have asked Sudhakaran

to send me a cassette of every event

It is a technology

for people like us

Chandra'ettan will soon

be here to drop you

That's not necessary

There are more important

things to be done here

So, I'll see you my dear

Bless you

I thought Chandran was joking

Are you going off when there's

a wedding in your own house?

Let the kitchen be

on the north side

It's convenient to have

the well nearby

Let not the smoke spread

to the wedding dais

Chandra'etan is a bit tight fisted

See that the lunch

does not lack in anything

We must serve good food to

people we've invited, okay?

See that the dais is strong

Can't predict when it'll rain

Use a tarpaulin if necessary

Clean up the entire place, okay?

Place tube lights

up to the main road

Our guests include

old people and kids

As I step out

on another travel

Leaving behind rain soaked villages

And sun kissed fields

With memories of faces

streaked with tears

I step out

on another travel

As I step out

on another travel

Please have a drink

It's very cold

Hope it's okay?

I got the bus late

Vasanthdedathi, have you

met the bride?

She's in there

Vanaja?

Go and play

somewhere else

I can't hear a single word

with all this noise around

I'll call Nalini'edathi

Did you see Nalini?

She's got a call

Hey! You were here, eh?

Take one

You boys sit in the bus

Do you recognize him

Narayanan's older son Satheeshan

He's in 6th grade

Younger one is Sudheeshan

In the 4th grade

Stop creating a racket

Sudhakara, isn't the bus ready?

Nirmala, ask them

to make it fast

Better occupy the bus

Afterwards you may

not find good seats

How's things going on?

How's things going on?

We were just leaving

Call me tonight

E:

Him

In a temple

where fowers bloom...

...as a sacrifice ends...

In this desert dunes...

The heart burns in pain

To keep the flame of survival alive...

In houses perched far away...

I cross this great sea...

I step out on another travel
