2. Hey, kutta

Comments

3. Hey, Kunjunni

Comments

4. Hey!

Comments

5. You'll fall on your face

Comments

6. Instead of nodding off like this, why don't you clear the bed and sleep on it?

Comments

7. Hasn't the Sir come yet?

Comments

8. If he had come, wouldn't you see him?

Comments

9. It's past 12 ...

Comments

10. This is really not done.

Comments

11. Just wait for him to get here.

Comments

12. This has been going on for a while

Comments

13. I will end this practice from today onwards What, the concert?

Comments

14. No, the side business after the concert!

Comments

15. The more I let it go, the worse it becomes.

Comments

16. There's no point in putting it so lightly

Comments

17. You need to be direct

Comments

18. I'll tell him!

Comments

19. What, you don't think he'd listen to me?

Comments

20. Regardless of his greatness as a singer

Comments

21. If my expression changes, he'll quake. That goes for both brothers.

Comments

22. But if only your expression would change. Right?

Comments

23. You weren't asleep?

Comments

24. Uncle, why can't you have a serious talk with him?

Comments

25. Well, in that case, can't you do the same?

Comments

26. There are limits to what I can discuss with him.

Comments

27. You can rebuke him

Comments

28. Can I do that?

Comments

29. I've thought about it several times. However,

Comments

30. When I see that walk, laugh and demeanor, I cannot help but think of your father

Comments

31. I have not had the audacity to sit before him except during a concert

Comments

32. Everywhere he went, he had devotees

Comments

33. How many temptations

Comments

34. And that too, at such important people's places.

Comments

35. And he has never failed.

Comments

36. Music was God to him

Comments

37. When the son of a man like that...

Comments

38. God save us.

Comments

39. Those are merely other people's beliefs.

Comments

40. Music is from the heart

Comments

41. It doesn't disappear just because you had a few drinks.

Comments

42. And if that's the case, these Western folk partake quite often and there's music.

Comments

43. Therefore, there shouldn't be any music there!

Comments

44. Thus, that's not the truth.

Comments

45. Each group has its own practices and beliefs.

Comments

46. And that's the right way.

Comments

47. I've seen several great artists get sloshed before a performance.

Comments

48. You must remember one thing

Comments

49. We are supposed to consume alcohol; it must not consume us

Comments

50. It doesn't matter which artists comes to me

Comments

51. I will show him a great time before he leaves.

Comments

52. Artists are the wealth of the country.

Comments

53. We must respect them

Comments

54. Love them

Comments

55. Now, look, the committee is not going to reimburse me for all this.

Comments

56. It'll go straight from my pocket!

Comments

57. Let it go!

Comments

58. It's for art!

Comments

59. The satisfaction my soul gets is enough.

Comments

60. I'm done.

Comments

61. I think I overdid it a bit.

Comments

62. If three people share one bottle, it's bad luck to not finish it!

Comments

63. Let's finish this off.

Comments

64. Ah no, they're all waiting for me. Let them wait!

Comments

65. You only need to go once we have done this properly.

Comments

66. Ah sorry, that won't work out.

Comments

67. It's my younger brother and uncle. Uncle?

Comments

68. Don't you know Pallavoor Parameshwaran Nair?

Comments

69. He's the king of the mrithangam (drum).

Comments

70. His own uncle.

Comments

71. He's not only my uncle

Comments

72. He is my guru as well. He even taught the mrithangam to my father.

Comments

73. Oho, so your father was in the same line of work as well.

Comments

74. What country are you from!?

Comments

75. Haven't you heard of Payyannoor Devanarayana Namboodri?

Comments

76. Who is he? Well ...

Comments

77. To be honest, I haven't heard of him.

Comments

78. When I'm busy with my business I occasionally dabble in the arts.

Comments

79. Hey. A talent like that has never been seen here. Really?

Comments

80. Then, next year, his concert is enough for us. What do you think?

Comments

81. Then your dead father needs to figure it out!

Comments

82. He passed away around 15 years ago.

Comments

83. What a loss. An eternal loss.

Comments

84. If I stay here any longer, we cannot part on good terms.

Comments

85. Huh? What ... That's how it is.

Comments

86. You got tired of waiting, right?

Comments

87. Gopi...

Comments

88. As they say, it just happened.

Comments

89. The committee folk asked me to come over to give me the rest of the money.

Comments

90. We were chatting for a while and I didn't realize how time had flown

Comments

91. Call everyone. Let's head out.

Comments

92. Why are you looking at me like that?

Comments

93. They entertained you really well, didn't they?

Comments

94. Entertainment?

Comments

95. They poured a bit of something with my juice.

Comments

96. Just a bit.

Comments

97. I have to travel for a few hours, right?

Comments

98. It relieves the fatigue.

Comments

99. But, this is not good for us at all.

Comments

100. Do you know how much sister-in-law worries?

Comments

101. Nobody in our family has this habit.

Comments

102. Save the sermon for later.

Comments

103. Call the others; let's go.

Comments

104. There's no need to travel today.

Comments

105. They've all gone to bed.

Comments

106. Everyone knows you've started this habit.

Comments

107. But nobody needs to know that it has reached this state

Comments

108. Especially Uncle.

Comments

109. He doesn't merely treat you with the respect befitting just his relative, or daughter's husband.

Comments

110. Please, don't worry him.

Comments

111. I don't drink excessively as you guys think.

Comments

112. I'm starting to understand that.

Comments

113. In any case, we will only leave in the morning.

Comments

114. Aunty, you know the guy who just moved in next door?

Comments

115. A baldy?

Comments

116. He wants to know all kinds of things.

Comments

117. Do you sing?

Comments

118. Do you dance?

Comments

119. And then, what do people here know?

Comments

120. I went to him with some milk and he had me there for an hour with his questions.

Comments

121. Oh wow, that looks beautiful

Comments

122. You should give it to me once it's done

Comments

123. Appu!

Comments

124. Don't you have anything to read or study?

Comments

125. It took you an hour to deliver some milk

Comments

126. Check out the loitering police

Comments

127. Oh Radha. Have you already started with your stitching in the morning?

Comments

128. Go to the kitchen.

Comments

129. Can't you see your sister-in-law toiling away alone?

Comments

130. Father, your hot water for the bath is ready.

Comments

131. Devu, haven't the kids returned? No, they haven't.

Comments

132. They said they'd be back in the night.

Comments

133. Ramani has been up all night waiting for them.

Comments

134. Where is that girl?

Comments

135. I had sent her over here. She must be next door or something.

Comments

136. She's so lazy. All she wants to do is dress up and loll about.

Comments

137. I told her it was OK.

Comments

138. If she comes in contact with the heat, or if she burns herself at the fire, that's enough for her brothers.

Comments

139. I won't hear the end of their complaints about making her work and exhaust herself.

Comments

140. Women should be knowledgeable about these things.

Comments

141. When she joins a new household soon, will her brothers be around to help with the kitchen work?

Comments

142. I think they've arrived. Can you keep an eye on this?

Comments

143. Here you go.

Comments

144. Can you put this away?

Comments

145. Yes, sir

Comments

146. Did you get worried when we didn't turn up last night?

Comments

147. Oh no. It's not like you're all little kids.

Comments

148. Sure, sure. You probably haven't slept all night.

Comments

149. Don't I know her?

Comments

150. Father, why don't you come in for some tea?

Comments

151. I'll have tea at home.

Comments

152. Who knows what's happening there now!

Comments

153. Let's go!

Comments

154. It's hard to tell when these festival concerts start or end. Can't be sure of anything!

Comments

155. Were you worried? Oh, not at all. Mother and grandfather worried.

Comments

156. There's no need to talk to Mother or Ramani about what happened yesterday.

Comments

157. If someone asks, there are reasons.

Comments

158. Basically, you want me to lie.

Comments

159. Unpleasant truths don't need to be stated.

Comments

160. Unpleasant actions don't need to be committed.

Comments

161. That, I promise.

Comments

162. There have been several promises like this in the past.

Comments

163. This is not like that!

Comments

164. This ... is for sure.

Comments

165. What are you guys whispering about outside instead of coming in?

Comments

166. The things which happened yesterday. The elephant went wild!

Comments

167. Oh no! And then?

Comments

168. And then... Nothing happened, but the concert started at 2pm.

Comments

169. What, what happened? Father, the elephant attacked!

Comments

170. And then? And then ... oh, the things which happened, Grandfather.

Comments

171. Gopi, why don't you tell them?

Comments

172. And how am I supposed to tell them?

Comments

173. I need to bathe and eat something!

Comments

174. What's there to eat, mother?

Comments

175. There's dosa (savory crepe).

Comments

176. And was the elephant contained, Gopi? The elephant ...

Comments

177. Grandfather, it's time I went to the office. I'll tell you once I get back. What, what?

Comments

178. I wonder which elephant it was ...

Comments

179. Mother ... mother ... MOTHER!

Comments

180. What, what happened?

Comments

181. I called mother.

Comments

182. To tell her that I'm leaving

Comments

183. Do you really need to rend your throat screaming like a demoness?

Comments

184. You really scared me. I thought something terrible had happened.

Comments

185. No, it's not that. I missed Gopiettan.

Comments

186. So what? Don't you know how to get there by yourself?

Comments

187. Then, get going!

Comments

188. I didn't get any sleep last night and I had just managed to fall asleep. Now, that's gone.

Comments

189. I'm here for an audit.

Comments

190. I'm from Piravam.

Comments

191. Sir, are you here with your family?

Comments

192. No, I'm here alone.

Comments

193. I have met your mother and grandfather.

Comments

194. In any case, I'm quite lucky to have gotten that house.

Comments

195. Because I can tell people at home that I was Kalloor Ramanathan's neighbor for a while

Comments

196. You shouldn't be this arrogant

Comments

197. Can't you turn around when someone's calling you?

Comments

198. In any case, I get the hint. Nowadays you always ignore me.

Comments

199. She's my cousin.

Comments

200. Daughter of my uncle.

Comments

201. Which means, she's your betrothed, right?

Comments

202. That's right

Comments

203. I'll leave you to talk.

Comments

204. Devi, you need to cultivate some manners.

Comments

205. Is it right to throw a tantrum when I'm speaking to someone?

Comments

206. What would he think?

Comments

207. He can get lost.

Comments

208. It looks really full. We can catch the next bus. Also, I want to talk to you about something.

Comments

209. You can take the next bus. You can get to your college whenever you like.

Comments

210. If I'm not in my seat by 10, the superintendent will mark me as absent. That's the kind of ass he is. Gopietta!

Comments

211. Gopietta!

Comments

212. Can you stop?

Comments

213. Ah, the artist has arrived!

Comments

214. Was there a concert yesterday?

Comments

215. The superintendent has asked to see you.

Comments

216. For what?

Comments

217. Must be to organize a concert!

Comments

218. Sir?

Comments

219. Yes?

Comments

220. I was told to meet you?

Comments

221. It's not because I have any desire to meet you.

Comments

222. What are you playing at?

Comments

223. There was a concert by my brother yesterday.

Comments

224. I don't run my office based on your brother's concerts!

Comments

225. An urgent file was requested by the RDO.

Comments

226. What excuse will I give?

Comments

227. You only care about concerts. Who do you think you are? Yesudas?

Comments

228. Sir, there's no need to get so worked up.

Comments

229. I'll take half a day off.

Comments

230. Leave? What if I don't grant the leave?

Comments

231. Sir, this isn't something that you need to grant.

Comments

232. Usually, people take the leave.

Comments

233. One of these days, I'll teach you a lesson. That's it right?

Comments

234. You're not going to kill me by hanging right?

Comments

235. Let me see if I can start work without you granting me leave.

Comments

236. You cannot meet the RDO regarding the office without my permission!

Comments

237. Who's the RDO? God?

Comments

238. Let me see if I can meet him.

Comments

239. God, huh?

Comments

240. Let him come. I'll deal with him.

Comments

241. OK, OK, I'll ask him.

Comments

242. It's a complaint about you.

Comments

243. The superintendent.

Comments

244. Why are you the office rebel?

Comments

245. Sir, I was half an hour late.

Comments

246. He didn't allow me to put it down as leave either. Ah, sit.

Comments

247. I heard that you said something disrespectful about me ... ?

Comments

248. Sir, do you really think so?

Comments

249. Na, I just asked for the heck of it since he brought it up.

Comments

250. Isn't he aware that we knew each other before this job?

Comments

251. I haven't mentioned it to anyone, sir.

Comments

252. I don't want people to think I'm taking advantage of our relationship

Comments

253. Don't you need to clock in?

Comments

254. I'll take half the day off

Comments

255. As if you should use your vacation days to satisfy your stubbornness.

Comments

256. Connect me to the superintendent

Comments

257. He's here.

Comments

258. Can you send the attendance register over?

Comments

259. Man, all government offices have this kind of jealousy

Comments

260. Back in the village office

Comments

261. I distinctly remember him kicking me around because of a few plays I did

Comments

262. Once they put on the IAS crown, there's no respect for theater or music.

Comments

263. I'm free till the afternoon

Comments

264. Till then, you're going to work here

Comments

265. We can have some music and arts for a bit, what say?

Comments

266. No vistors till the afternoon; I'm very busy. OK, sir.

Comments

267. Please stay

Comments

268. Doing the <i>deepaaradhana</i> is comforting now

Comments

269. What's your name?

Comments

270. Is there anything wrong in me knowing it?

Comments

271. Ah it's Vijayan

Comments

272. Come

Comments

273. Have a seat inside

Comments

274. No, can't sit down. I'm going home tomorrow since it's a second Saturday.

Comments

275. So I don't need milk tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Do tell your mother. Will do.

Comments

276. I'll take your leave. OK.

Comments

277. Who's playing the veena?

Comments

278. That's my younger sister, Radha.

Comments

279. Does your sister sing as well?

Comments

280. No, she is mute.

Comments

281. Sorry, I didn't know. No, it's not a problem.

Comments

282. I should go

Comments

283. Aha, you're sitting here quite safely

Comments

284. You took a lot of money off me in that game the day-before-yesterday

Comments

285. Call sister-in-law; we'll play a turn.

Comments

286. Don't cheat OK? As if

Comments

287. Mother's game!

Comments

288. Listen, hit it fully on the line

Comments

289. Ammai, look go for the red!

Comments

290. Now she'll play by herself for half an hour. Let's kill time talking about something.

Comments

291. Then, can I ask something?

Comments

292. Is the elephant story made-up or true?

Comments

293. Elephant story? Which elephant?

Comments

294. Oh, at the concert. That's not made up!

Comments

295. She broke rank. It could've been a big problem.

Comments

296. Luckily it was a female elephant. She calmed down quickly.

Comments

297. Play quickly! Don't break my concentration; let me play!

Comments

298. Does a female elephant go wild?

Comments

299. A female elephant doesn't go wild, does it?

Comments

300. Actually, now I'm not sure if it were male or female

Comments

301. Do you really want to put on this show for me?

Comments

302. I've known you since you were born

Comments

303. I wanted to tell you

Comments

304. That brother has started some undesirable habits

Comments

305. I'll tell you later

Comments

306. I know, Gopi

Comments

307. I've known for a while

Comments

308. In the beginning, I thought it was just medicine

Comments

309. Only later did I understand

Comments

310. That he was adding something else to the medicine

Comments

311. I'm tired of talking about it

Comments

312. Mother, it's your turn!

Comments

313. What happened, mother?

Comments

314. Nothing happened!

Comments

315. Red, where's the red coin?

Comments

316. We knocked that in a while back!

Comments

317. Then, what's the point of playing!?

Comments

318. Hey, Father is coming!

Comments

319. It seems that everyone is playing all the time here

Comments

320. Tomorrow and day after are holidays

Comments

321. Oh, so you don't need to open your books at all for the next two days!

Comments

322. Instead of wasting time playing, can't you do your vocal exercises?

Comments

323. I'll do it early in the morning tomorrow.

Comments

324. I don't need to go into work tomorrow since it's a holiday tomorrow.

Comments

325. I've seen so many holidays

Comments

326. Ever since he got this government job, I have never heard him sing apart from the concerts.

Comments

327. Sister-in-law, didn't I sing early in the morning for 2 hours?

Comments

328. Why are you needlessly making her lie?

Comments

329. Appu!

Comments

330. Go call grandmother and grandfather

Comments

331. Music is like a lamp

Comments

332. If you polish it daily, it will shine like gold.

Comments

333. If not

Comments

334. It will be covered in a patina, dark, and look dirty

Comments

335. And then, you cannot clean it

Comments

336. Brother has mentioned this before

Comments

337. If you choose a government job as your profession, that's fine.

Comments

338. But this is a gift

Comments

339. For generations, the art we received from Saraswati

Comments

340. was taught to me by Father

Comments

341. and taught to you by me

Comments

342. and it must be you who must teaches it to the next generation

Comments

343. I'll focus my energies on that

Comments

344. Sometimes when I hear his words and way of speaking, he truly is his father

Comments

345. Grandfather, were you sleeping? Oh, no.

Comments

346. I already have one or two of these

Comments

347. Well, it won't be anything like this

Comments

348. This is for Mother

Comments

349. This is for mother and son

Comments

350. And this is for the official

Comments

351. Here

Comments

352. Where's Radha?

Comments

353. Brother .. Come closer, child

Comments

354. Do you like it?

Comments

355. Huh?

Comments

356. Didn't you buy anything for yourself?

Comments

357. I got some medicine for myself.

Comments

358. My stomach isn't well

Comments

359. Ramani, please put this inside

Comments

360. He's truly his father's son

Comments

361. He can't get any sleep if he hasn't blown all his cash on something

Comments

362. What's the point in hoarding it?

Comments

363. Ah Gopi, did you drop by Uncle's on your way back? No

Comments

364. Ah, Devi's quite troubled over there

Comments

365. Something about you not smiling at her

Comments

366. Or that you didn't take her along with you. Something like that

Comments

367. And so, she didn't go to college and headed straight home

Comments

368. She's not like Ramani

Comments

369. She gets sulky very quickly

Comments

370. And she gets over it as quickly

Comments

371. He's also got some of that as well

Comments

372. They're kids right? They can be allowed some laxity

Comments

373. That's right OK then, I'll just sing and dance on the road

Comments

374. Oh please, nothing as drastic as that!

Comments

375. Now, why are we simply delaying that?

Comments

376. We were thinking it should be after Radha's

Comments

377. Who's going to come for her?

Comments

378. What do you think about advertising in the newspapers again?

Comments

379. Nothing will come of that, Mother

Comments

380. You know how it goes with newspaper ads

Comments

381. They're only interested in the number of lakhs they can get

Comments

382. They don't care if she has eyes, arms, legs, or noses

Comments

383. Well, that's how it is

Comments

384. Who would love a mute?

Comments

385. Being mute is an ailment for humans, Mother, not for goats or cows

Comments

386. That's enough

Comments

387. She's in the next room

Comments

388. The towel and soap is ready for your bath. Come.

Comments

389. Ammai, do you think I'm a grinch?

Comments

390. No, I've never thought that

Comments

391. I've thought he's just a killjoy

Comments

392. What? What happened?

Comments

393. Oh, nothing!

Comments

394. Brother says I don't know how to kill time

Comments

395. Before, when he used to come here, it was such a ruckus

Comments

396. Back then, Ramani studied dance

Comments

397. When the two got together, it was all dancing and singing

Comments

398. And Uncle would join in with the <i>mrithangam</i>

Comments

399. It was so much fun

Comments

400. Raman was quite different back then

Comments

401. Then he'd cook up so many wacky things

Comments

402. I'm also getting used to some wacky things

Comments

403. This much fooling around is not required Look, Ammai, she's pinching me!

Comments

404. Why are you bothering him? She's simply bugging me ... hey!

Comments

405. Gopietta, let go!

Comments

406. I'm a killjoy, is it?

Comments

407. Oh God, what would happen if Mother saw us? So what?

Comments

408. I have a right

Comments

409. You heard what Ammai said

Comments

410. About brother and sister-in-law

Comments

411. Then, that means Ammai has seen stuff like this before!

Comments

412. Why is your face so red?

Comments

413. What's with this girl?

Comments

414. Madhavi, I'm starving, can you serve some food? Let me iron this first

Comments

415. Ah, Gopi ...

Comments

416. Did she mention an event at her college?

Comments

417. Yes, she mentioned it, but it wouldn't be right if I did it.

Comments

418. This is also not right. What isn't right, Uncle?

Comments

419. We want to live here without fear

Comments

420. Can we live like this day and night making drum noises?

Comments

421. I don't understand

Comments

422. You don't need to understand

Comments

423. I'll tell Raman

Comments

424. He'll understand quickly

Comments

425. He's also proficient in these martial arts

Comments

426. Either way, we should not delay and do this as soon as possible

Comments

427. We're not in a hurry

Comments

428. Understood, understood

Comments

429. Ramani, did you tell him?

Comments

430. He's taking a bath. He'll be here soon.

Comments

431. Start, child

Comments

432. Ramani, can you get two ounces of that medicine?

Comments

433. My stomach doesn't feel good.

Comments

434. Quickly, Ramani

Comments

435. Brother, did you call for me?

Comments

436. Ah, did you see that Ammai and Devi are here?

Comments

437. I saw

Comments

438. Devi asked for a song and you said that wasn't possible

Comments

439. It's best if you do it. What do I know about music?

Comments

440. Then, why did I work so hard, all these years?

Comments

441. Is it enough that you set the scale and be a backup singer?

Comments

442. If I touch it, it'll become a devotional

Comments

443. Here, take it

Comments

444. Let it be a <i>natthe</i>

Comments

445. Since it's light music, some improvisation is alright.

Comments

446. I knew he was trouble the minute I saw him

Comments

447. Just because they talked, should we misunderstand what happened? Let them talk

Comments

448. Getting <i>prasadam</i>, and putting the sandalwood paste on his forehead. What's the need for all that?

Comments

449. You get <i>prasadam</i> at the temple

Comments

450. Do you come to the temple to talk to women?

Comments

451. You come to worship

Comments

452. And what laughter and boyish mannerisms

Comments

453. If he was a young man, I'd get it but he's an old man.

Comments

454. Please come inside. No need.

Comments

455. What's the meaning of this?

Comments

456. Of what?

Comments

457. Don't you know?

Comments

458. I saw you perform <i>kathakali</i>

Comments

459. Sorry. Sorry!?

Comments

460. If you come to our neighborhood and do these filthy things, you won't leave this body

Comments

461. Are you threatening me?

Comments

462. No need for that

Comments

463. What's your intent behind enacting this romance?

Comments

464. To deceive her?

Comments

465. Or for timepass?

Comments

466. It was timepass in the beginning

Comments

467. until I found out she was a mute

Comments

468. Now, I'm serious

Comments

469. I would like to marry Radha

Comments

470. with everyone's blessings

Comments

471. It's been five years since my wife passed

Comments

472. I've told Radha all this

Comments

473. If you don't think this is a big shortcoming, I shall mail my father asking him to come here

Comments

474. What do you say?

Comments

475. We need to think about it

Comments

476. Alright, think about it

Comments

477. You must let me know even if your reply isn't positive

Comments

478. And if so, I will not bother you by staying here

Comments

479. I'm sorry, Vijayan. Sorry.

Comments

480. Does he know that she is a mute?

Comments

481. He knows

Comments

482. He has been here a few times

Comments

483. He has a nice disposition

Comments

484. How many lakhs did he request?

Comments

485. He didn't say anything about that

Comments

486. Maybe he has entrusted all that to his relatives

Comments

487. He doesn't seem like that kind of person

Comments

488. Then, it must be due to pity

Comments

489. I fear that kind the most

Comments

490. Do you remember, we had someone like that once, with pity?

Comments

491. He only thought of his life after the rings were exchanged

Comments

492. When the rings were removed

Comments

493. My child gave me a look ... O Lord.

Comments

494. Do you remember then, how you cried like a dog?

Comments

495. Just because it happened once, does it mean it's always the case, Rama?

Comments

496. Ah, we can only hope it doesn't happen

Comments

497. In any case, we can ask his relatives to come, right Mother?

Comments

498. This will be his second wedding. That's a sad thing about this match.

Comments

499. If it's a second wedding, it's a second wedding.

Comments

500. It'll at least be done.

Comments

501. We should ask her what she thinks

Comments

502. I asked. She likes him.

Comments

503. I'll be honest.

Comments

504. When he first told me about this, I did not agree

Comments

505. And it's not that I'm in agreement now.

Comments

506. If that's his fate, then so be it.

Comments

507. It's karma.

Comments

508. At his first weddding

Comments

509. at the auspicious moment

Comments

510. as we stepped out

Comments

511. a crow just fell and died in front of us, quivering.

Comments

512. It had collided with the electric cable.

Comments

513. Then itself, I told him that we shouldn't go ahead with the wedding

Comments

514. He didn't listen

Comments

515. And what happened?

Comments

516. She died of an electric shock, just like that!

Comments

517. Things like horoscopes, signs, and omens; they are not lies, it's the truth. Don't you think?

Comments

518. Well ... we should discuss our situation.

Comments

519. Huh? What else is there to talk about? We saw the girl, and that ritual is over.

Comments

520. An approximate date has been decided, right?

Comments

521. We don't need a ritual for that

Comments

522. We should consult an astrologer and settle the date.

Comments

523. Should we not have an idea about your expectations for gold and money?

Comments

524. Janardhan Nair is not such a cheapskate

Comments

525. It's not like I'm waiting for your gold and cash to live my life.

Comments

526. You give whatever you want to your child.

Comments

527. Just because we discuss some calculation for gold and cash, and we receive it from you, it doesn't make a mute, not a mute, will it?

Comments

528. Father, what are you saying?

Comments

529. Why are you afraid of stating facts?

Comments

530. Isn't that right, Ramanathan Nair?

Comments

531. That's right

Comments

532. Then, we have nothing of significance to discuss

Comments

533. We should consult an astrologer and fix a date tomorrow itself

Comments

534. Ah, Vijaya

Comments

535. Ask mother and grandmother to come here

Comments

536. If they go anywhere, they just take root.

Comments

537. I want to reach there before <i>deepaaradhanam</i>

Comments

538. Today, I am relieved

Comments

539. Radha's situation was such a burden for me and now it's over.

Comments

540. You can't survive without this, can you Ramanettan?

Comments

541. Lately, this has become a daily affair

Comments

542. Have you decided to destroy yourself through drink?

Comments

543. Oh, the tears have begun

Comments

544. Today's such a happy day

Comments

545. Come, and sit here

Comments

546. Ah, listen to me, Ramani

Comments

547. Sit there

Comments

548. If one has a bit of this, who told you that one would be destroyed?

Comments

549. Do you know how comfortable it is to sing after having a bit of this?

Comments

550. The voice really comes through

Comments

551. Haven't you told me several stories of people whose lives have been ruined by drink?

Comments

552. And now, you!

Comments

553. Please don't cry

Comments

554. Why are you needlessly worrying me?

Comments

555. Music, itself, is an intoxicant

Comments

556. One who has experienced that intoxicant, will not be drowned by this one

Comments

557. Moderation is key

Comments

558. In excess, even <i>amritham</i> is poison

Comments

559. Can you tell me, for sure, that it is not in excess?

Comments

560. Oh, of course, I can say that

Comments

561. Earlier, after the concert, you were so drunk, you couldn't even stand straight

Comments

562. And then, a lie

Comments

563. about an elephant who went wild

Comments

564. Ah, so

Comments

565. he comes and unloads everything here, doesn't he?

Comments

566. Then, once, a mistake was made

Comments

567. And so, everyone should know?

Comments

568. Can you look me in the face and say that it was a mistake which was only made once?

Comments

569. You ...

Comments

570. Didn't you go to Panikar?

Comments

571. I just returned

Comments

572. Brother, you haven't answered my question

Comments

573. Are you cross-examining me?

Comments

574. Brother, you must forgive me

Comments

575. I must say this now

Comments

576. in front of sister-in-law

Comments

577. I do not have to right to scold or advise.

Comments

578. I'm begging you

Comments

579. You must stop this at least in the memory of our deceased father

Comments

580. Gopi ...

Comments

581. Are you making me out to be a drunkard?

Comments

582. It has ended.

Comments

583. Today itself, it has ended.

Comments

584. So, are you content?

Comments

585. Can we trust you?

Comments

586. Now, on whom do I have to swear?

Comments

587. There is no need to swear on anyone.

Comments

588. Just hold firm

Comments

589. I'm holding firm

Comments

590. I will not touch it henceforth

Comments

591. Enough?

Comments

592. Ah, so, how did it go?

Comments

593. I asked him to look at the date

Comments

594. The 30th seems to be have an auspicious hour

Comments

595. After that, we'll have to wait for a month

Comments

596. Then, let it be the 30th!

Comments

597. Also, we told Janardhan Nair, that it would be the 30th, right? That's right

Comments

598. Then we don't need to change it and make him uncomfortable

Comments

599. Where on earth is Raman?

Comments

600. I saw him talking to Govindan Menon and Kurup

Comments

601. Where is Kunjunni?

Comments

602. He went to look for him

Comments

603. No need. Get lost!

Comments

604. Brother, what is this?

Comments

605. No problem. There is no problem.

Comments

606. That Menon and Kurup got him drunk. The bastards!

Comments

607. Don't talk nonsense. I'm fine.

Comments

608. Raman, should your uncle have to see this? It just happened ...

Comments

609. There's absolutely no problem

Comments

610. Switch on the mic.

Comments

611. Raise it, raise the curtain!

Comments

612. Is it time for them to be back from the concert? No, it's only turning 11

Comments

613. Then, who could it be at this time?

Comments

614. What happened? Was the concert canceled?

Comments

615. Where is Father and Gopi, Ramanetta?

Comments

616. What happened there?

Comments

617. Where is everyone, Ramanetta?

Comments

618. Rama, tell us

Comments

619. What happened to my son?

Comments

620. Nothing has happened to Mother's son

Comments

621. He's probably singing and bringing down the house

Comments

622. But ... why didn't you sing tonight?

Comments

623. I don't understand what's going on

Comments

624. I ...

Comments

625. I have been defeated!

Comments

626. Everyone has gotten together and defeated me

Comments

627. You drank, didn't you?

Comments

628. I was betrayed

Comments

629. Raman was not able to keep his vow

Comments

630. What is it, Rama?

Comments

631. What is it that I'm hearing, Ramani?

Comments

632. He's the son of Ayanoor Devanarayanan Namboodri

Comments

633. who drinks?

Comments

634. to the point that he cannot sing at a concert?

Comments

635. with the audience booing him?

Comments

636. O Lord ...

Comments

637. Has God kept me here to see and hear all this?

Comments

638. If Father were here

Comments

639. he would kill him

Comments

640. that's what would happen

Comments

641. Once I stood there watching

Comments

642. a person who had come to invite him to a concert get slapped across his face for coming drunk

Comments

643. There is no point in talking about old tales

Comments

644. If Father were here, he would have beaten him, or scolded him, or done whatever

Comments

645. Apart from tearfully pleading with him, what can we do?

Comments

646. Sister-in-law and I have begged him several times

Comments

647. How long has this been going on?

Comments

648. For a while

Comments

649. This medicine he keeps drinking is nothing else.

Comments

650. Oh Lord ...

Comments

651. Has he awoken, Ramani?

Comments

652. Yes.

Comments

653. And what did he say?

Comments

654. He cried a lot last night

Comments

655. And said that death is preferable.

Comments

656. Go to him

Comments

657. Ask your brother for forgiveness

Comments

658. I will ask him for forgiveness

Comments

659. But first tell me what was my mistake?

Comments

660. The people were heckling, and I only sang when I thought the performance would be ruined.

Comments

661. It wasn't to steal the limelight!

Comments

662. In any case, it was his concert

Comments

663. Didn't you sing without anybody's permission?

Comments

664. That, is a mistake.

Comments

665. It's not just in art and music, it's like that for anything.

Comments

666. So, I shouldn't have sung even thought the audience was heckling and the performance would've been ruined, right?

Comments

667. You should not have sung without your brother's permission

Comments

668. In your workplace

Comments

669. would you tolerate it, if your junior sat in your chair and worked?

Comments

670. In a government job

Comments

671. it might not be a big thing

Comments

672. but in arts

Comments

673. it's a very big thing

Comments

674. You must respect your Guru

Comments

675. Don't you think?

Comments

676. Brother ...

Comments

677. Stop ... there is no need for that.

Comments

678. I heard that the concert was phenomenal

Comments

679. It was not bad

Comments

680. If you neglect the fact that I was not able to touch your feet and start.

Comments

681. What is the meaning in all that?

Comments

682. Yesterday, after the concert

Comments

683. the music committee honored me with a gold shawl.

Comments

684. As this is my first token of honor

Comments

685. it belongs to you

Comments

686. Please accept it and bless me

Comments

687. Why do you need my blessings now?

Comments

688. You can keep it.

Comments

689. Here, in my closet, there's no room for these gold shawls.

Comments

690. You are punishing me, aren't you?

Comments

691. You are my guru, and my father

Comments

692. if I have unknowingly committed a mistake

Comments

693. I beg your forgiveness

Comments

694. Forgiveness?

Comments

695. You didn't do anything wrong, did you?

Comments

696. When everyone told me that

Comments

697. it didn't seem like it

Comments

698. but

Comments

699. now I believe so

Comments

700. When the people were heckling

Comments

701. and when I could not bear to watch your rhythm and voice quaver anymore

Comments

702. I couldn't help but sing

Comments

703. Good

Comments

704. Not missing the opportunity, was definitely a good thing.

Comments

705. Only they are victorious

Comments

706. That's not a mistake

Comments

707. In the past, during the Kurukshethra War

Comments

708. after putting down his bow and arrows

Comments

709. pointing at Karnan whose chariot was stuck in the mud

Comments

710. Krishna said

Comments

711. "There,

Comments

712. this is the chance."

Comments

713. Not foregoing that opportunity is Arjunan's victory

Comments

714. You won

Comments

715. I ...

Comments

716. What can I say?

Comments

717. From one point of view, you're right

Comments

718. From another point of view, it's not that right

Comments

719. Ah you're early today. Let's go?

Comments

720. I heard that Kallur Gopinathan did extremely well?

Comments

721. Oh, after a concert, you're so conceited?

Comments

722. Can't you smile a bit? Please be quiet. Isn't there a limit to your jokes.

Comments

723. What?

Comments

724. Uncle, tell me what I should do.

Comments

725. I will never sing again. Is that enough?

Comments

726. What are you saying?

Comments

727. A singer, who chooses to not sing again?

Comments

728. Then, what is the point of that life?

Comments

729. Isn't it better to just die?

Comments

730. It is a preparation for that

Comments

731. if it is atonement for the sins that I have committed.

Comments

732. What an ill-fated pronouncement, Gopinatha

Comments

733. What happened for you to have such thoughts?

Comments

734. Tell us what happened, Gopietta

Comments

735. What happened, Father?

Comments

736. I know nothing, daughter

Comments

737. Something has been said between brothers

Comments

738. Can you please tell us?

Comments

739. Instead of just worrying us?

Comments

740. Brother says that when an opportunity presented itself

Comments

741. I deliberately defeated him.

Comments

742. What can I do to him?

Comments

743. Tell me in a way that I can understand

Comments

744. He's talking about yesterday's concert

Comments

745. Oh I see

Comments

746. If Brother is drunk, and cannot sing, what should Gopiettan have done?

Comments

747. Is it his fault for singing now?

Comments

748. That's exactly what I said

Comments

749. With all the drinking, he must have acquired the habits of drunkards

Comments

750. Unwanted thoughts, and actions

Comments

751. Don't you know how that coconut tree climber, Velayithan, behaves?

Comments

752. He beats up that poor Kathu in the evening after drinking

Comments

753. Every day, he has a different reason

Comments

754. For me, it's when I think of my daughter ...

Comments

755. Can you please go inside?

Comments

756. What an example

Comments

757. The coconut tree climber, Velayithan

Comments

758. Normal women at least have some sense. Well, her head is full of play sand anyway.

Comments

759. If it's play sand, then it's play sand.

Comments

760. Just look at what "people with sense" are doing and saying

Comments

761. Don't worry about any of this

Comments

762. When someone who is better than you comes

Comments

763. it can happen to anyone

Comments

764. In that case, I'm not so amazing

Comments

765. You will surpass your brother and your father

Comments

766. I am sure of it.

Comments

767. Shouldn't Brother take joy in that, Father?

Comments

768. He will be happy

Comments

769. Raman is only capable of that

Comments

770. I know it

Comments

771. Go to work in peace

Comments

772. I made a mistake

Comments

773. If you keep needling me about it, will the mistake be fixed?

Comments

774. All I'm saying is that this shouldn't happen again

Comments

775. I got it!

Comments

776. Who would commit an error knowingly?

Comments

777. It just happened ...

Comments

778. Everyone, please forgive me

Comments

779. I will fix this. Isn't that enough?

Comments

780. That's enough

Comments

781. Humans who do not make mistakes do not exist, do they? Similarly, Gopinathan is also very worried

Comments

782. You should not hurt him

Comments

783. Isn't there anyone here who sees my pain?

Comments

784. Every second, I sting and burn

Comments

785. I can't meet people outside

Comments

786. I'll have to answer people's questions

Comments

787. Does he want this?

Comments

788. He didn't sing to implicate you!

Comments

789. We escaped the audience because of that

Comments

790. I agreed with that

Comments

791. I have no complaints about that

Comments

792. He saved me, right?

Comments

793. What luck

Comments

794. Because of that he has only profited

Comments

795. Let him grow

Comments

796. and surpass Father

Comments

797. Regardless, when he came to apologize ... This is not something we need to discuss right now!

Comments

798. We don't have much time till Radha's wedding

Comments

799. That must be conducted beautifully

Comments

800. Exactly. Everyone should come together and make it a success

Comments

801. Heeranda ...
