SPANlSH MASALA
16 years ago...in Delhi
The Spanish Consulate...a celebration
Sir is drinking a little more Than his usual quota today
l think he is feeling sad to return to Spain
l don't think so
Will anyone fell sad to go back to one's own home?
lt's not that
Wasn't it on one such birthday His wife left him for good?
No, if the wife left for good One will only be happy
ls it because he has retired From post of ambassador...
...and worried that he is now jobless?
- Look here - Hmm?
When you are in Spain looking after that kid
Don't forget to see to my VlSA okay?
ls he the darling little baby of the moon
Or the little one of the beautiful lotus flower
ls he the sweet nectarwithin the flower
Or the soothing rays of the full moon
ls he the tender new vine of the coral flower
Or the sweet prattle of little parrots
ls he the graceful dance of peacocks
Or the sweet notes of the singing nightingale
Next day at a government school in Kerala
Twinkle twinkle... Yes continue
Twinkle, twinkle... Come on recite the rest of it
Twinkle, twinkle Christmas star
You are an expert in buffoonery And being a smart alec in class
But a complete zero in studies
lt's such a pity you are not able To recite even a nursery rhyme
l do not want to learn English lt is full of confusions master
Do l see a Herman Gundert? What is wrong in learning English?
Put and But spell the same But are they not pronounced differently?
Knife is pronounced ''nife'' Why leave the K out of it?
K is silent in that word
Then why is it put there Can you not leave it alone?
Leave all that
Take Machine which ought to be pronounced Ma chi nay
Write something And pronounce it differently
How am l to learn all that?
Do l not learn our Malayalam perfectly? ls that not enough master?
Charlie English is an international language
We are forced to learn it Out of necessity
Not only English, it's good for kids to learn different languages
lf so, do you know Kannada Which is just next door to our Kerala?
Master you don't even know Tamil Which is also just next to our state
You are asking me to learn English that lies across the 7 seas
l will learn only Malayalam Learning English is out of question
You are talking impertinently Get out
This hater of English language Had to stop his studies
This lover of his mother tongue ls the hero of our story
Finding faults and justifying his lack abilities
He represents an average Malayali
But a Malayali always shows spunk When it comes to living...
...in unknown lands And among unknown people
Oh you have come!
As years passed fate presented a similar situation to our hero too
16 years later The city of Madrid in Spain
As seven colours swing a veil With sugary smile on mirror like cheeks
Laughing at the play put up by
- Did you see that Charlie anywhere? - Must be there somewhere
Where is that Charlie? lt's his mimicry item after the next 2 songs
- He was here just now - And?
lt started itching badly
After wearing Jose Prakash's gown So l soothed his itch by scratching
Look if he is there somewhere
Charlie
Welcome Mr. team manager You are invited into my den of bandits
Very good my son! You are doing a good job scratching
What the hell are you up to?
Jose Prakash asked me to scratch his back
Who?!
- Charlie asked me to scratch his back - Out! Get out
Will not allow me to be useful!
Hullo Mr. Team manager
You have to instruct them To wash this gown at least once in 6 months
Otherwise this team manager Will become food for my pet Alligator
By the way Mr.Viji D'cruz Ravi Paerera lf you do not listen to me
You will soon hearthe toll of death bells
- Shut up! lt's your item afterthat song - l see
- Hope you remember all l have told you - Sure!
After your performance Just disappear from here
Don't wait to bid goodbyes Not even to me
Will it be dangerous Ravi'aetta?
Dude! l have dealt with 4 people like this ln another country without a job VlSA
Now 3 of them are in good positions
What about the 4th one?
He is in jail
Don't scare me Ravi'aetta
Well you have to show some guts in such situations
l understand your situation That's why l am aiding you in all this
No for money alone
Of course! Don't l know that!
Are you sure my job here is confirmed?
l have arranged for all that
You don't know any other language Otherthan Malayalam, isn't it?
l go wrong in Malayalam itself Just imagine my plight with other languages
- They speak Spanish here - ls that so?
- Do you speak it? - No
l am hearing the name of such a tongue For the first time
Since l do not know any language lt is of no consequence to me
l will not understand what they say
Neither will they follow me, so what's the problem
You have to keep these 3 papers As safe as your passport
The first paper tells you Your destination in Spanish language
l have marked it specifically
Show it to a taxi driver He will drop you there
You have to pay him 5 euro from this
This is the address of the foreigner You are supposed to meet
Anyone will help you find this house
After you reach the house You have to hand this letterto him
He will immediately confirm yourjob
Please come here for a moment
l will come you go ahead
Lord! Please guard me from getting lost in Spain
Preselo street? Get in
Enthiran? ls he a Tamilian by any chance?
Thank you!
Okay fine!
Gracias? Did he mean thanks?
Or was it grass?
Did he say something in contempt For giving just 5 Euros?
Oh doesn't matter As long as no one heard!
lt's 9 P.M and still like broad daylight The sun is working overtime here
Now l do not need this any more So let it stay here
Couldn't he have written this in Malayalam?
Who shall l ask this address to?
Don't go please
Stop! Oh God!
Good lord!
YOU are sitting inside the Church And making me desperate is it?
l will show you!
Please don't forsake me God!
How do l get hold of it now? There is neither stick nor rod here
That traitor has not written any address here!
What a tragedy God!
Policia!
lf they take me away and beat me up l wouldn't be able to even explain
Oh mother!
What have you dealt me with my good Lord!
Money? Did he think l was a beggar?
Chey! What a shame!
How can l take that?
Hey don't go! Stop!
The address is having a bath Go and take it
Oh Jesus! lt's gone!
This address-less letter What can l do with it!
Angel!
Look! There's an elephant ln those clouds
Sometimes angels appear in clouds To show you a way out
Sometimes it closes your path ln the form of Satan
These early morning habits are so troublesome
What will l do now To attend to natures calls
lt's getting worse
lf it was back home Anybody's fields would have been enough
Here it's so neat and tidy Why do they live like this
l needed a toilet can you help?
To go and relieve myself like this
Can you not speak Something l can understand?
Don't you understand anything l say
Just you wait! Come to lndia to play football
No l should not do that! l cannot run even
l should have at least worn a diaper When l started out from lndia
Don't they have a bus stand Railway station or any public place?
The cabin of a telephone booth would have been enough
Oh this should do
Oh goodness! Smells just like Kochi
When l found a place for my ass The vehicles seem endless, God!
ls this lndian restaurant?
Why the delay in coming here?
Were you waiting for me?
My beloved, to come to me
Hullo brother Let me take my dhoti out
Hullo brother Where the hell is it?
Who is this? Kala Niketan Charlie?
Charlie!
Don't press too hard lt will be too unpleasant
What a surprise! Yesterdays program was superb
l wanted a snap with you and came to the green room
But you'd just disappeared
-Anyway, God has sent you to me - No! Don't!
- l need to urgently go to a toilet - First of all let me take a photo
Will anyone snap a picture of someone in a toilet?
Not in the toilet Here right now!
Now can you please show me Where the toilet is?
Now one with us together
Now will you please show me the toilet
l am a big fan of you Charlie
Please mimic that actor lnnocent please?
l will do whatever you ask me to After my visit to the toilet
The toilet is there Please do it for me?
- Toilet? - Mimic first
Oh mother! Why are you torturing me like this?
l am losing control okay?
You rascal! Playing the fiddle while Rome is burning
Your grandmother's...is this enough?
That was excellent!
Now mimic Suresh Gopi
Oh no! Not him, l cannot That needs a little stress
l will not be able to say his dialogues With apt stresses
Finally when l say ''Shit'' like he does Then this place will not be same
lf you want l will mimic Prem Nazir l don't have to use my body forthat
lf you don't allow me to go now You may be forced to see a live performance
Things will turn unpleasant
lnstead of suffering like this Could you not have told me earlier?
Go there! That is the toilet
There is no water We get water only by noon
We are used to paper here
l do not encourage people without Visa lf you get caught l too will be in trouble
Please don't say that, Majid'kka l see you as an angel without wings
My dad used to run a big restaurant Just like this back home in Kerala
He was a simpleton So he was cheated by most people
He ran into debts and finally Ended up with just a wayside eatery
One Saturday just before Easter He slept early saying he wanted
To attend the Midnight Mass
Even the third ring of the church bells Did not wake him and neither could l
My dad left early to heaven To meet the Lord in Resurrection
Now mom runs the eatery
She does not complain about my mimicry programs
A couple of appearances on TV Poor mom, thinks l am a big star
Now she does not allow me to help her
l do not have any high ambitions l have to redeem dads debts
l want to build a tombstone for dad ln the Church graveyard, that's all
l have a weakness for artists l cannot forsake you for that reason alone
Whatjob are you capable of?.
l will be manager if you want
Great! Then why don't you become the owner!
Look here, can you work in the kitchen?
Didn't l tell you mom has never allowed me Do such menial jobs
Your mother has spoilt you lnstead ofjust running the eatery
You have taken a flight To build a tombstone for your dad
Dude, we Malayali's in false pride Don't do jobs there
But do the same work with dignity ln places outside our homeland
You don't have to wash vessels
Just stand there and make Dosas
Different items made of dosa
lf it's okay with you l will even start an open air restaurant here
We did make 18 kinds of dosas But still a small...
Nothing doing! l was waiting to get a guy like you
Anyway, you are lucky
Even if you are not paid first 2 months Your accommodation and food is free
So l don't get paid for 2 months is it?
Only 2 months Let me see how you conduct the place
Afterthat a small pay packet What do you say?
Lord! Don't tell me this was the angel l saw among the clouds!
Today's special Spanish Masala
Hats off to you! You have concocted a new dish
A little bit of junipers, cherry soy and eggs
With a little Cheese and mushroom...
On our Dosa and it becomes Spanish Masala
Anyhow, these foreigners love it
lt's a different smell
lndian food, you probably would have had it in Delhi when you were a kid
l want to have it
No! l cannot buy you wayside food Senor will object
l want it
This is not hygienic at all
lf l say l want it l mean it
Okay when you return from hospital lt shall be there on the table
How is it?
Very tasty
Hereafter l want this for breakfast everyday
You have to follow the diet what the doctor has ordered
l want lndian breakfast
No! lf there's a problem l am answerable to the doctor
lnstead of living like this without freedom
lt's better to die
Paplan!!
l will see that this lady today...
lt's not Paplan Pappan
- Papalan -Again?
- Ask her to be quiet - Okay
My dear sir, you know her nature Why don't you do as she wants?
Buy her what she likes
She's a sick child l cannot buy her stuff from the street
We are their employees We may at times be forced to do so
lf her stomach is upset, let it Why do you bother?
Senor will not like her Having street food for breakfast everyday
He will know of it only if he gets Away from the chess board
Sir, instead of buying this food Appoint this fellow in the palace
Then we can also have some food We were used to back home
How is my idea?
When you are confused like this Consult me
l will spare you my brains You can use only your body
Shut up
What?
This Kala Niketan Charlie with fans All over Kerala employed in a kitchen?
You have not recognized me l think
Mr. Menon, how did you dare to even think of asking me this?
Was it because l was making Dosas here?
My relationship with Majid'ka allows me to make dosas here as a mere time pass
That does not allow you to think l am just a cook
We are partners
Any request from Philip De Alba palace
ls not usually rejected by anyone whosoever
lt's because you are new here
Explain to him Majid
Please don't misunderstand After his arrival my business has picked up
Now if he disappears Everything will fall to pieces
Not only that Frankly, he will not fit in there
- Why? - He does not have a job VlSA
He has come on group VlSA And is now absconding
Oh l see ln spite of this he is so arrogant
He shall be given up To the police immediately
Sir! Please don't betray me l didn't have a choice that's why l ran away
l am no partner to him Just a cook
l am prepared to slave away anywhere
You scoffed at thejob What did you think?
A chef's job there ls equivalent to a governmentjob here
2000 Euros will be your salary
2000 Euros!
That means 1 .5 lakhs in lndian money
My Good Euro Lord!
What do you think? ls the job at the palace too menial?
l never imagined the palace kitchen Would be such a large one
Please don't put me in jail Just put me into the palace kitchen
lf you behave l will take care of yourjob visa
What do you say?
Sir, just give me a little time Enough to bring my bags from in there
l ask only that
You have not said anything Majid
l'm not standing in the way of someone whose life is turning for the better
You take him with you sir
Come dude
Majid'ka! l will neverforget this l don't have anything to give you
l want to garland you
Don't weaken!
Whatever is cooked here Has to be first eaten by me
Part of security l am in a hurry so come on fast
Just a moment
lt's been so many years Since l've had food like this
Come on fold up bring it right here!
Here
l may have to have one more For security purposes
Dude, there are cameras all over here
Any problem, Senor will look at the recorded events
l will have the next dosa After covering the camera
Stand and chat with your countryman Eating at the same time
When you get yelled at for not Cleaning the floors you will be satisfied
- Did you recognize her? - No
- Not even after hearing her scolding me? - No
- My wife Jennifer - Oh
She is cook here
Her cooking made me like this
She'sjealous that you are chef here
Not only that She saw me relishing your food
Today there will be a showdown
How did you manage this lnternational union?
She claims l look like her countryman And fell in love with me
lt was a long love story but thinking back now l think it's a horror story
l have written a novel About our married life
A mice that was trapped in a pit
Do you write novels Pappaettan?
l started writing to get over Boredom that l face here
l write only what l see
- The Senor here - Do you call him Senor?
lt's not his name lt is a term of respect like Sir
Girls are called Senorita
Middle aged women are Senora l will teach you all this by and by
My novel is based on the incident Of how Senor's wife left him
A white woman with a black heart
l wrote-Chess playing friends Based on Senor's relationship with Menon sir
After reading that Without any reason, Menon sir slapped me
Why?
People should have a sense for literature
My novel ends with Menon sir Killing Senor with poison
The Spanish government Hangs menon sir to death
His tongue hangs out See like this
The novel ends there
Should he not take it in the right spirit?
He tortured me a lot after reading it
He threatened that he'd break my hand lf l ever write a novel again
Afterthat l have never given My novel to read to anyone else
Everyone need not be like Menon sir l will read your novel, Pappaetan
No! No one need read it
Thejoy of being both the reader and writer Can never be explained to you
You go and give the next Dosa To Kameela, come on get going
Spanish masala ready
ls that so?
Can you not say all this in Malayalam?
She must be angry for being late
Tomorrow l won't be late today Pappaettan delayed me with his stories
What was he said to address middle aged women
Sarongavada? Savalavada?
Eat this Sarangola
What?
- Bet? What bet? - Okay okay
- ldiota! - ldiota?
ls it a combination of ldiyappam and parotta?
Who knows!
That lady ready to travel to the moon Does not want this
That is the Senor's sister's room Maria De Alba
But she is totally manner-less
Be quite She is Fernado's mom
She hates food in bedroom But Kameela is just the opposite
She wants everything inside her bedroom
Which is Kamilari's room?
Not Kamilari Kameela
The room right down there The first room is Kameel's room
She likes to call every one by name Very well mannered
But you cross her and she turns nasty
One day she poked me with a fork
Just because the yellow in the bull's eye Was slightly broken
ls she mad?
Not always Go and see for your self
- Hold this for a moment - Why
With all this Let her not lose her good first impression
What do you say for breakfast in Spanish?
El de sayanu istholistho
God help him!
Who could this be?
Anyway Kameela seems to have A special bond to Malayalis
lf that is so let me arrange all this May be she'll be impressed with me
lf this is here then that is there What does it matter to me
Let it be anywhere
The angel l saw among the clouds Now in water!
Has the angel gone back into the clouds?
Who put this here?
Eldo sayanora encyclopedia
What?
Oh God! lnstead of impression l have messed up things now
Now how will l rectify this l never knew she was blind
Why did God be so cruel To this beautiful girl
l do not want anyone's sympathy Nor any help
l am not blind l can do everything by myself
- Oh Lord! She speaks Malayalam - Where is my towel?
l have folded it neatly here
Don't touch my things
Are you asking for the Ferrari keys
l said get out!
l thought she was asking me to drive the Ferrari car
Anyway the beginning was Very impressive
You do not know the actual Stories that have happened here
She was brought up by Ayamma Who taught her Malayalam also
l have mentioned this in my novel Parrot! Watch out! Black cat
Ayamma has a son Rahul
Who has never been brought up By his own mother
He was put in a boarding school
While Ayamma came here to look after Kameela
After Rahul completed his studies Ayamma brought him here
Senor gave him a job Kameela was not blind then
With Ayamma's stories and Rahul's nearness They became very close friends
That friendship soon became love
Wonderwho gave the sky its blue color
The dark blue of the glace thrown at me
Wonder who gave into my hands
The garland of thrills that l bask in today
As waves thrash within the depths of your eyes
As the golden shores reach out to smother
Am l not those grains of sand
As your darling hands strum and play
Strings hum a soothing tune
l am that golden Veena
Wonderwho gave the sky its blue color
The dark blue of the glace thrown at me
As you and l skip enfolded within forest trees
Hey! Like those butterflies that fly yonder
Kissing gently the blooms on ourway
We hum to ourselves songs of honeyed lore
Will those young woods strive to listen to our music
Will it shower red flowers along our paths
As those flower gardens weave a pathway
Do l see a thousand nightingales?
Wonderwho gave the sky its blue color
Kameela where are you?
Here l have raised a monument to our love
Your longings make these maple leaves fall
And the pine trees sob in misery
Where are you Kameela?
lf you hide within star constellations
l will not find your eyes
if you shade your face away from the moonlight
l will not see your smile
Where are you Kameela?
As you and l melt into each other
Oh, those moments when we become one
As our innermost desires churn and grow within us
Only to erupt and rain as raging fires upon dewy mists
Oh beautiful one l sink within you as the sun
As you blush when the red colored fires of live coals spread
As you are engulfed within passion and desires
A thousand stars shine forth from your eyes
Menon sir discovered their love And reported it to Senor
He refused to accept their relationship And showed his displeasure
Very cunningly he sent Rahul to Portugal
As an estate manager far away from here
A week later, in Portugal Rahul's car fell into a swamp
And we heard he was no more
Kameela believed it was a murder And not an accident
Planned by her father to do away with Rahul
lt ended in a terrible consequence
You killed him
lt was not an accident
Why did you kill my Rahul?
God will never forgive you this sin
l want to go to my Rahul
Kameela Don't allow her to go
My dear?!
She lost her eyesight in that accident
After the death of her son Ayamma went back home
After Rahul's death Father and daughter have never spoken to each other
Will Kameela never regain her sight?
lt appears some vital organ is damaged There is blood clot in her retina it seems
They operated on her They say she may gradually get it back
Treatment is continuing Menon sir is her guardian now
- You have not seen Rahul isn't it? - No
l will show you
Kameela where are you
Here l have raised a monument to our love
Your longings make these maple leaves fall
And the pine trees sob in misery
Where are you Kameela?
lf you hide within star constellations
l will not find your eyes
lf you shade your face away from the moonlight
l will not see your smile
Where are you Kameela?
Fernando
What is it uncle?
Come sit
Forgive me uncle
l have to go out urgently
Where were you looking while walking?
You have spoilt my shoe, rascal!
ldiot Clean my shoe
Howrah?
Clean it now!
Fernando! Do not treat the servants badly
Do you know to play chess?
Excuse me!
l have been a champion back home Played at the club, 3 times
- Really? - Not a reality show, only at club
We servants stand in front of our employers Otherwise we may have to pack up
What a good man The epitome of saintliness
Feel like singing hymns to this saint
Did he say let's play snakes and ladders? That too on a chess board?
Employers should not be beaten ln games with employees
lt was a mistake Please forget this
- Let this be back here - No no no
l will place them exactly as before
l cannot beat you again And lose my job in the bargain
l have urgent work in the kitchen
You will ask forfood
And if l say food is not ready Then l will be out of this job
l cannot take a risk
The barley water is boiling!!
ln the freezing coldness When the weather makes you shiver
She is screaming out for ice cream
lsn't scotch the best for such freezing temperatures He asked
Who will listen Next was a stinging slap across the face
She slapped and he got slapped
He begged her not to slap him again But no
She was beating him mercilessly
Finally she stopped because her hands ached
Haven't l asked you not to write novels again?
Menon sir no! Please don't break my hands Please don't
You frightened me dude!
- ls this your new novel? - No, it's a short story
Yesterday l had a tiff with my wife This is based on that incident
The name of the story is Fireworks on the cheeks
lf Menon sir sees you with this
You can change the title to Bunch of fireworks
When l heard you l really thought it was him
l have lived mimicking people l feel sad to keep this talent unused
You have not seen my stage program Have you?
Literary people like me feel contempt Toward mimicry artists
- Aristotle has said copying is an art - People can say all kinds of things
But scholars will not say so What did discowhisky say?
- You mean Dostoevsky? - Yes yes
Okay tell me what he said
Oh great people say many things We need not listen to all that
Just mimic that Menon sir once again Let me hear it
You people of literature Consider us contemptible
So l would rather not do it again
We may say such things
But we secretly enjoy and laugh at such items
You see brainy people Should not laugh publicly
Whatever you hear
You should always have the look Of someone suffering from piles
Like this
Then only you will be an intellectual
l have performed an item Which no one so far has ever done
l used to call someone from the audience And mimic him on that spot
Don't bluff
Ask someone who has seen my program
Okay shall l mimic you right now?
l ask you as a writer Which bar did you drink discowhisky from?
l have not till now That's why l asked you
My voice is unpleasant So you can easily mimic me
lf you are that smart l will ask you to mimic someone else
And if you do so l shall grant you are talented
Because that is a voice no one Can easily imitate
You can take half an hour to practice
Okay l accept the challenge
Kameela where are you
Here l have raised a monument to our love
Your longings make these maple leaves fall
And the pine trees sob in misery
Where are you Kameela?
lf you hide within star constellations
l will not find your eyes
lf you shade your face away from the moonlight
l will not see your smile
Where are you Kameela?
Hats off to you!
See even Kameela thinks you are Rahul
This is our Charlie
He is a great mimicry artist Hejust imitated our Rahul sir's voice
Good dude
l think she is upset
This is the first time my mimicry Did not draw laughs instead drew tears
That's because you do not notice the audience closely
You will be here itself won't you l have to make Puttu
Whatever it is thank you Why did you send for me?
Was it to give order for other special items shall l get you an Oothappam?
No
What about that item Where brandy is mixed with black coffee?
Shall l get you that? A Calagria?
- No - Why did you ask me to come?
What is this? Are you sacking me?
Those are written by Rahul
Can you read them to me in Rahul's voice?
The speed of love is so fast
What is this ls love a motor bike?
Love is faster than light
Was he employed in the electricity department?
The speed of love How much is it?
Love is faster than light
ln the nests built by moon beams My love...
Masala Dosa and the foreign Lady
Through the flavors of street dosa He first slipped into her mind
Later through his delicious dishes And later through the voice of lost love
And now through his touch Smell, taste, hearing and touch
Does it mean sight among 5 senses is not necessary for emotions of love?
ls this true love? Or exhuming the corpse of a dead love?
Who knows!
Many happy returns of the day
Happy Birthday!
Love is a kind of madness
You don't have time to go out for a party or to the club
- Vasu'aettan said... -Always writing blessed novels!
- This drumstick haired woman - Destroying everything!
One day l will burn everything You cheating dirty fellow!
l am not willing to come and dance ln some bar or club
Writing novels is what l like lf you interfere l will slap you
Get lost you dog! Stupid idiot!
She was asking me if she could attend a party
- l heard her calling some one dog - Oh you heard that is it?
lt was worse what she said in Spanish
She will get first rank For mouthing obscenities in Malayalam
- Can you not adjust a little? - Of course l do
When she scolds in Spanish l reply only in Malayalam
ln course of time
She understood some were swear words And started saying them back to me
All international love stories always end in tragedy, isn't it?
That is what happened to Rahul also isn't it?
Do you really believe Rahul's death Was caused by Senor?
He is a good man l think it was actually an accident
Kameela has misunderstood him
l too feel the same seeing his nature
Poor man is very unhappy That his daughter never speaks to him
All these problems can be solved lf only they sit down and talk it out
The daughter is stubborn and angry The father has a great ego
How will anything be solved?
- Shall l try an experiment? - What?
l don't know if it will succeed
Sentimental techniques in Kerala style
You have to write out what l say in Spanish
And then write it in Malayalam for me
Everything will be okay God willing
Kameela, l am sad that even after so many years
Your misunderstandings have not been erased
l was not responsible for Rahul's death
His death was as much a shock to me as it had been for you
With God as witness l am saying l have not committed any crime
Please don't hate me
l did not even remarry for your sake
l did not want to lose your love
You should stop hurting such a father any more
Papa!
A cool little breeze that came in from yonder shores
Was it yesterday or today?
A cool little breeze that came in from yonder shores
Was it yesterday or today?
Stroking the cheeks with fingertips
Scenes unfolding unseen ever before
Clouds laden with raindrops on its rucksack
Clouds losing its way over the horizon
Clouds laden with raindrops on its rucksack
Clouds losing its way over the horizon
Without raining over forests and grounds
Haven't you become showers of honey here
A cool little breeze that came in from yonder shores
Was it yesterday or today?
Aren't you a magician from a far off land
With tiny boxes with in your two hands isn't it magical?
The aching pains within the heart
Disappearing into words of fun as moonlight appeared
You are the pouring rains amidst the scorching summer heat
Like the breeze that gently strokes trembling life
Like a dream gently, softly
Don't fade away, don't disappear
A cool little breeze that came in from yonder shores
Was it yesterday or today?
Aren't you the lamp like someone lit in sympathy
Like a beacon amidst these dark paths
Brightening even as you burn down
Aren't your words pearls of comfort
Like blossoms in a desert, isn't this a great good fortune
Like buds that appear on branches not meant to blossom
Like bees humming notes never heard ever before
Like a rainbow that gently appeared
Please! Don't fade away, don't disappear
A cool little breeze that came in from yonder shores
Was it yesterday or today?
You have not said a word so far
Senor entrusted me the task of talking to you
lt's a serious matter that l have to tell you
What is it sir? ls there a problem?
Yes, it is a little problematic
He has been noticing that Kameela is getting too close to you
He wants only his daughter's happiness
The past tragedy should not repeat
But l have not done anything
l just fool around to make her happy
Did l say you were wrong? Don't worry unnecessarily
Just answer me honestly
Of course l am full of honesty sir
Tell me, do you like Kameela?
- You want me to be totally honest? - Yes
- lf l did Will l lose my job? - No
Sir, if you are shown an angel Will anybody ask if you liked her?
Everyone likes Kameela Don't you like her?.
l asked if you would like to marry her?.
Oh! You are pulling my leg isn't it? What is her status and where is mine?
Guessing my feelings lsn't this a ploy to send me away?
No, l am serious it was Senor's decision
lf you and yourfamily are agreeable Senor is not considering any other factor
lt may not be as you expect A girl without eyesight, foreigner etc
Yourfamily may not find it acceptable
lf they are okay with this then bring them here
Only then will l tell all this to Kameela
What is it dude?
AYYO AYYO AYYAYYAYO
Has my self control left me
Has my system slowed down
A ladder to up there l want
To go high into the sky
A handful of twinkling stars
l want to sprinkle on her
A ladder to up there l want
To go high into the sky
A handful of twinkling stars
l want to sprinkle on her
My dearest, my darling
SENORlTA
You are the sweet cloud
My dearest, my darling
Has my self control left me
Let there be cool pouring rains forever
An umbrella of Colocasia leaf l want
A mushroom? l do want
A mountain of Lilies do l want
A slim little baby elephant l want
A green colored moon l want
To the rhythm of green fields
l want my foreigner to clap her hands
To the songs of the river boats
l want to strum a guitar
To those songs let rainbow colored umbrellas unfurl
My dearest, my darling
You are the sweet cloud
My dearest, my darling
Has my self control left me
l want the laughter of the awesome girl
l need lips to propose
A song to sing l want for the chorus
Eyes l do need to see 3-D visuals
A tree bearing pizza l really want
A river flowing with chocolates l want
l want, l do want
Dressed in a long skirt and blouse
The angel like girl should dance
Enclosed within the dewy mists
She shall rest against my chest
May The songs l sing bloom into rainbow colored umbrellas
My dearest, my darling
You are the sweet cloud
My dearest, my darling
Has my self control left me
Has my system slowed down
Look here!
Please forgive me Senor lapses l may have unknowingly committed
Like the snakes and ladders game
l never imagined you will climb the ladder of luck so suddenly
-After you - What?
l mean after Senor becomes son-in-law here
Please shift me from floor cleaners post To your own manager like Menon sir
- l will arrange everything Pappa - What! Pappan?
What happened to respectful Pappaettan?
lf you call me Senor l will call you Pappan
My dear Pappaettan l will always be the old Charlie
That's enough for me
And you will always be floor cleaner
l was joking
- What? - Shakuntala the princess is taking a walk
Go to her King Dushyanta l have some work in the kitchen
- Should l go? - Go without torturing me
So that is that
Kameela, l am going home
What happened?
l have some decisions to take after talking to my mom
You have a surprise awaiting you When l get back
What surprise, tell me
Surprise is a surprise okay?
Bye
Should have given her the kiss
Next time surely l will
Okay sir l take leave
What did that retard say?
Just some idle threats
Says he will finish you off lf you return to get married
Oh! ls that all What?
- He was joking, wasn't he? - You don't worry
As long as l am here No one will harm you
l've heard people wanting to marry Kameela
Are finished off after sending them away
ls this something on those lines?
You don't worry yourself With unnecessary thoughts
l believe in you Menon sir
l am waiting until the wedding is over to deal with Fernando
Now l do not have the right So it's all buried within me
Don't miss it Of course not, l will make her Mrs.
l was talking about the flight
Oh goodness! l have only thoughts related to weddings
So good bye and on return l will bring cashew nuts and snacks
Menon, l can see now l got my sight back
- Really? - Yes, where's papa?
You can go see him But he will never see you again
Well known Spanish Diplomat Philip de Alba died of a heart attack last night
He was 68 He was Ambassador to Asian countries
But he is remembered most for his decisive contributions
He has served countries like lndia China, Sri Lanka
He owns many business and trade
Enterprises in Portugal which is his wife's place
The last Wednesday in August The tomato festival in Spain
Mom, careful
What happened? The road is blocked
lt is the tomato festival
- What is it? - lt is the tomato festival it seems
What does that mean?
Every yearthe last Wednesday in August They have a festival with tomatoes
They just throw it at each other You have not seen it
- No - Neither have l
Come lets go see Anyway the block takes time to clear
l do not know how to console you
She is overjoyed that Rahul who has returned
Rahul confirms it was a deliberate murder attempt on him
He was scared that it would repeat and so continued quietly in Portugal
Since obstacles have gone With the death of Senor
Probably that's why he returned
l know how much Kameela loved him
l was only instrumental in keeping his memories alive
She liked this joker of a servant too
What else could she possible feel?
l am not unhappy at all sir
l just had a few dreams after you talked to me, that's all
We should dream only according to our own level and status
lt's okay sir l will be in the kitchen
But l have a request Kameela should never know about this
This is the slip our Reverend from our Church back home has given
The wedding can take place only if this slip is given to the Church here
Give it to me mom
l lied to you about my wedding
Do you believe a girl from this palatial house...
...will marry a chef like me?
lt was just a simple lie to get you here And to show you around
hihihi
Would you have left that eatery and come Leaving Lily alone at your place?
What are you saying?
Sir is it true what he says?
Of course it's true Mom you need some rest
ls it enough to forever run the eatery And wash vessels?
There are lots of stuff to be seen here
Mom you haven't seen the flamenco dance, the bullfight
We will go back home After seeing all that, okay?
How will l finish my novel now?
Should l end it with you poisoning Rahul's Dosa?
Or Menon sir shooting you down in During a hunting trip?
l will finish you if you don't be quiet No wonder your wife quarrels with you
You should not learn from that she-devil Literature is allergy to her
Get lost you vagabond You are the devil not me
What will l do now if she Begins to speak Malayalam like this?
Good for you Now you must be very contented
What did he say? That you became **** without marrying
What is bothering him?
Ever since l came He's been harassing me, pig!
We call this discrimination
That which, since ages, a white skin shows to a dark skinned person
You don't mind all that Rahul's return has created all this mess
l will be writing on this soon
The return of trouble Or the Tortoise that came ashore
This Pappaettan and his jokes
l am relieved to finally see you laugh a bit
You just wait and see
ln my novel Kameela will finally be yours
Why is it so? When l write it will turn true
Did l not write about Senor's death ln Friends playing Chess?
Did he not actually die? Now about Menon being hanged
There is still time forthat Let's wait and see
Don't talk unnecessarily like this
Dude, a person watching a CD Would die of heart attack or was he killed?
l will find out the truth behind that
Your wedding was fixed by Senor Could he have been killed for that?
Who would want to?
The person who does not want To see you and Kameela married
There are many questions To which answers have to be found
l have to watch the movie The diary of a CBl officer
l have been so miserable thinking about you
Could you not have informed at least me that you were still alive?
He has been like this from childhood Does not say anything to anyone
Always likes to retreat and remain alone inside a room
He changed for the better Only after meeting you
No, thank you
Why are you alone here?
Charlie! When did you return?
l realized you did not recognize me ln spite of seeing me many times
That's why l came to you
You had said you had a surprise for me
But l did not think it would be so big a surprise
You knew Rahul was alive Didn't you?
You are happy now Life is like that
You get back what you lost And lose what you thought belonged to you
Let me go to the kitchen
Now that Rahul is with me Please don't speak in his voice
Sorry, l just spoke like old times
True, now why should l?
l did not return because of cowardice or because l feared death
ln a way my love was one That showed l was ungrateful
l have been educated with the money from this house
Senor gave me job and brought me here
But l was ungrateful Wasn't l?
l was punished for that That is what l consider it as
Later l put everything behind and lived a new life
When l heard he was no more l felt like seeing him for the last time
l assumed you had forgotten me and started a new life
But when l realized you had been Living with my memories
l was defeated once again
Don't you know you have to knock before entering into a room?
Sir, you asked to be served wine Don't you know l'll come immediately?
But l am unaware aren't l That you will be hugging her?.
After behaving badly You are justifying yourself, get out!
You should not have scolded him
Then what should l have done?
ln your absence he made me feel That you were beside me
Charlie used to mimic your voice lt gave life to your memories
When Charlie was around l never missed you
Did you also feel he was l ln all respects?
l was not able to talk to you Ever since you came
My son's return to life Shut out everyone else from my eyes
Don't complain later That mom did not stop her chatter okay?
- Oh be quiet! - Where did the two of you go?
He is busy showing me around
Bull fight is very popular here So l took herto witness it
- But happiness was short lived - Why?
Mom says an animal should not be killed Just to entertain people
Only good hearted people think that way
You are all very good hearted
Pappan narrated all that happened
Please don't be angry with me and my son
Just consider everything was forthe best
Suppose Rahul had returned After Kameela and Charlie's wedding?
Will they ever be able to live with peace and happiness?
Consider it was God who Brought him back before the wedding
This is a plea from a mother Who has got her son back alive
Please don't look at him As one who deserved to be cursed
You were fooling me weren't you?
Won't you be upset if l said they rejected me when Rahul returned?
That's why mom l lied lt's alright mom!
What happened to you Charlie?
You don't talk to me like before Or even meet me
What happened to you?
Nothing, just busy
You had the same work before
Yes but now it's different You have Rahul sir with you now
l did not want to be a pest Between the two of you
Rahul sir may not like it lf l take some liberties with you
That's why l keep away
Sometimes he behaves like that He gets angry very fast
Don't take it to heart Are you mad at me?
Mad at you, Kameela? Why?
Did you feel bad that l asked You not to mimic Rahul's voice?
Nothing like that
You were right, l don't feel any anger or anything else towards you
- ls it true? - Yes it is
Then perform something for me
No, l am not in a mood
l have heard only your voice But l have not seen you performing
Please Charlie Anything you like
Not now Kameela
Won't you listen to me?
Now let us throw a stone at the dogs
Bark now
He is a nuisance
The dogs have gone Now come the tom cats
Here you are sir
Are you also going to write novels like Pappaettan?
l will dictate You can write it
Please say it in Malayalam My English will be full of mistakes
How shall l begin?
Like a letter Come on write
Due to health problems
Okay, due to health problems My handwriting is not very good
l find it difficult to continue working
So please pay me my salaries and other benefits
l may be allowed to resign from this job
Signed Charlie
Signed...
You can hand it overto Menon And leave this place
What have l done to send me away?
When you have a job You may not be able to do mimicry
Now you have plenty of time
Outside the palace you are free to perform anywhere
- Sir, Kameela insisted the other day - Kameela?
How do you respectfully address unmarried Spanish girls?
Senorita
That is what you have to say
l know you are not an ordinary fellow
You tried to get close to her Mimicking my voice
You did succeed to some extent
Wasn't that why it reached A stage where they proposed marriage
l will tell you very frankly Your presence irritates me too much
l am very possessive in some aspects And selfish
So it is better you leave of your own accord
My dear sir l don't have great ambitions
l was woken up to say there was no dinner
l feel bad about that That's all
Whatever you say l am not going to leave thisjob
l was employed here by Kameela and Menon sir
Let them ask me to quit Then l shall go
l have come to a foreign land For a livelihood
Allow me to do just that
Fernando that guy is coming Just make him do something
That's a good idea
Alright guys l would like to introduce you to someone
He is Charlie from lndia
And a famous mimicry artist
Please perform something
Of course he imitates dogs perfectly
Come on Charlie do it
You imitate dogs very well They are asking you to show them
Do you perform only in front of girls?
They are your pay masters Come on show your skills
What should l do?
He asks what he should do?
Do it like the dog did
No!
Take that ball
No!
Take that ball in your mouth Otherwise l will dismiss you
Ok l will do it
There is a performance
Where a harmless dog Will turn nasty and bite
Do you want to see that?
Do you want to see it?
Don't turn me mad l am totally from the country
Whateverjustifications you say
A person who has insulted Fernando Cannot continue here
He has to be dismissed this minute
What about Fernando's behavior to Charlie? l saw everything
Didn't you also see it Rahul?
He is not a dog Rahul
Why this soft corner for him?
lf he can perform for you why not for us?
How are you sure he will not Criminally torture someone else in future
My opinion is that he should be sacked
Now l leave it To do whatever you wish
Menon takes decisions about staff
Let him decide what to do
Fernando has harassed Charlie earlier This time he retaliated
Mistake is on both of them
When Fernando troubled you You should've complained not retaliate
This deserves punishment
Today you will not cook You will do the entire cleaning today
Fernando cannot be punished
But if he does this again l will be forced to report it to the police
This is the last warning
He attacks me and you threaten me is it?
Does a servant hold better position Than me in this house?
Mom, you also do not have any voice here
You learn to behave nicely to others
A mere manager takes decisions here People of the house have no rights
He must be angry that you were not dismissed
- Go and apologize - But l...
We have to do many such things To get our way
Go!
Fernando Senor Sorry...l will not say so you useless
Sorry... your dead father will come and say so you dog, vagabond
You cur like the one you made me act
l will come and say Sorry After l get you bitten by a mad dog
You white cockroach
l will torture you from head to foot
And as you suffer l will come and say Sorry
l will say sorry you dirty fellow Where did he go rascal
l have not finished you pig
l will give you all the stuff Needed for loose motion
And as you sit in the toilet l will come and say Sorry
l have not finished What the hell are you okaying
l don't know if you are fulfilled But my mouth has gone dry
So l stop for the time being
Shall l leave you dog, vagabond Son of a bitch Fernando
- Hey! - Sir?
Was the sorry a bit too much?
No it was the correct dose
- Should l say sorry to anyone else? - No!
l have only one request Please don't translate what l said
This is a request from one Malayali to another
See the power of our language!
l am very happy Let me have an omelet
- Charlie? -All of you have punished him
There are some limits To make servants become dogs
What shall l do Pappan?
Fernando has always been like this lt's a pity, Rahul sirjoining him
Rahul is not the old guy l once knew
He is always mad at Charlie
lt is only you who is ignorant About the reason for that
- Everybody else understands - What is it Pappan?
Charlie wishes you should not know it
But l feel you should know it
What is the point in you alone Being kept in the dark?
Seeing your closeness to Charlie Senor told Menon sir his opinion
lt was to get the two of you married
Menon decided to perform it also As per Senor's wishes
Charlie went home and brought his mom for that
When Rahul sir returned everybody forgot all about it
But no one saw Charlie's heart shattering
l am going home urgently
What happened?
l have to take some decisions After l talk to my mom
When l return there is a surprise for you
This is punishment work But frankly this is no punishment
lt was just a ploy by Menon sir To rescue me from that squabble
ln case Fernando troubles me l will not retaliate okay?
l will just consider lt was a slap for a bad performance
Please don't quarrel with Rahul sir On my behalf
lf it comes to that Just send me away from here
l will never be a reason To destroy anyone's peace of mind
Come let's get that also
Charlie come have some wine
A kick on his chest cleared him See how he loves me now
lf l had known, l would have kicked him long back
But that would have reformed him too much
Please let me know when you want food to be served
You may serve it after sometime
Make it fast before it gets cold
You seemed to have learnt Spanish
Well it's quite some time l have been hearing it
We learn some things by ourselves
She suggests to perform their engagement immediately
Menon why don't you talk to them and fix up a date?
We have reached a decision here
Now tell us your opinion
Shall l fix the engagement date Forthe next 18th?
Everything as you decide Menon sir
This is where everybody gathers To celebrate new year
Each person will have 12 grapes
They will wait till the clock Strikes 12 in that tower clock
They will eat one grape for every strike of the clock
After the 12th grape is eaten they Will wish and hug each other
Why do they eat grapes?
That is what is available in plenty here They grow them in plenty here
So as a respect and a little sweetness
lf this system was at our place We would be forced to swallow 12 coconuts
l had started to write about this Titled Coconut in the throat
But there was no logic in it lf the lover had to commit suicide
This coconut could not be swallowed So l discarded the idea
There is Majid'ka!
What is this? No news for such a long time?
Did your mom return?
No l did not want to send her alone
Raziya and the kids Will be going home soon
Shall l book mom tickets along with theirs?
That will be better
- l may need my old job at your restaurant - Why?
l may be thrown out any moment
You get well paid there Try to hold on somehow
l am returning home
Charlies dad's death anniversary is nearing
l have left Lilly with my people
l would otherwise have stayed on for your engagement
May l leave?
Please tell Charlie not to be angry with me
Where is my bottle? Ah here it is
Why is the door Coming after me?
Stay there!
Sit there Sit down l say!
Good boy Were you alarmed?
Hey! What's happening?
l drank some coffee
There was a little brandy ln that coffee
Calagria! Does an lndian not have a right to drink Calagria?
How dare you appear ln front of me so drunk?
How dare you appear ln front of a drunk?
You have tied me up in shackles Denying me, my constitutional rights
What did you threaten me?
That if l continue writing novels You will break my hands
Come on then break them lf you have the guts, do it
But l will not retaliate Because l want to remain alive
You are the Hitler here Aren't you?
Good Lord What's happened to Pappaettan?
A lorry carrying spirits overturned upon me
Hey you Menon
You cheated this youngster Arranging his marriage
Now the engagement ls with the otherfellow
lf he had returned as a dead body Will you conduct this engagement?
Pappaetta, leave it Why are you saying all this?
You don't worry dude lf Kameela goes let her go
You will get a Shakeela instead
Shakeela
Will definitely come Otherwise l will make her come
- l will do anything for you - Be quiet Pappaetta
The wax statue has come
lf l had a matchstick l would have lit it up
My dearthis is cheating
Let me alone!
lt is cheating not to marry The guy who loves you
Who will do this now-a-days?
Are you oblivious of passing times?
Where was this lover boy all these days?
lf his love had been sincere A phone call, an e-mail
Leave me! An e-mail or a money order
Or at least a telegram sent keeping your face in mind
What kind of a love is his?
- Pappaettan come with me - Leave me alone
This boy who made you laugh and be happy
- This son of mine - Oh, no...
lt was not right of you to forget him
Not only that Love is not a spade
lt's not a one way affair lt has to be given also
l will tell you anotherfact This guy loved you
l know how sincerely he did
He loved you lots and lots
He is not in his senses You go from here Kameela
You should not leave What is her name?
- Kameela -Ah, Kaaliama don't go
l am fully in my senses
Kameela leave Go to your room
What a pity!
l will see you after you regain your senses
Oh you may sack me Go ahead and do it
l was working only for my family
Now l don't have a family sir
My wife bid goodbye to me And has left with a foreigner
She took my kids also
l fell most unhappy for that
lt is best to be like Menon sir To remain unmarried
They are most fortunate Who do not marry
Because there is no wife to leave them
This is Pappan's apostle 1 to 0
But l will write this incident As a novel
Jennifer, the Foreigner and Me
Or an Gas Stove without Gas
ln English-Use and Throw
Where is Pappan?
l decided to finish his jobs also
After all he drank out of misery Of his wife leaving him
Please don't take any action on that poor guy
Senor's room has never been opened Since his death
Since there's a function coming up Clean up that room also
Okay sir
What the hell are you talking about?
l don't understand anything
lf you haven't l will explain it all sir
When Senor offered to give you The farm house in Portugal
You agreed to his condition ln return to forget Kameela
You betrayed your mom and Kameela Cooking up an accident story
Senor had recorded this conversation Between the two of you on a CD
Charlie l was...
l am the only one who knows How much Kameela loved you
l have known the depth of that love Every time l imitated you
- l was after all your dupe - Charlie don't betray me
Betrayal?
You were the one who did that
lf you had not accepted his offer
He would have in time, got the two of you married
l did not go away forthat offer alone
l knew if l persisted they could do away with me
lsn't that why l returned after his death?
When Kameela's and my wedding was fixed
Senor probably wanted to erase your memories
And so preserved everything on this CD
Even today this CD is enough
To erase all memories of you from her mind
Don't destroy my life
lf she comes to know The wedding will nevertake place
Don't do this just to get Kameela for yourself
lf l lose her l will die
You once died isn't it? You can do it once again
Don't worry Kameela will never come to know
lf she realizes your love was tainted she will be shattered
She should not be unhappy any more
Hereafter, see that she loves you You also should love her
Take this Destroy it so she will never know
Don't worry l do not have copies of this
What foolishness have you done? Why did you give that CD to him?
You should have shown Kameela His real face
l don't have anything to gain By breaking their relationship
lf l had done that l would be most selfish
You don't have to do anything l will tell Kameela everything
Don't commit such mistakes
lf that was so l could have done it
Do you expect me to excuse such a grave mistake?
Rahul's mistake is pardonable
He accepted an offer in return for life And he ran away
He can be forgiven for that
He came back because he loved her, isn't it?
His angertowards me is also because of his love for her
Then why should we try to break up that relationship
lf you really want Kameela to be happy She must never know this truth
You had such a wonderful chance How can you think of giving it up?
Love does not snatch but let's go for the sake of people we care for
What is it my dear? What is wrong with you?
l don't know l am not happy now
Menon please stop some place Where it's not crowded
l wanted to discuss a serious matter
Both Rahul and Kameela are Totally disturbed these days
l have brought her up
l know her very well
Charlie has influenced her a lot
Her pity and sympathy can soon turn into something else
Charlie's presence here is dangerous
lf they have to marry and lead a life...
...of peace and happiness Charlie has to leave
Please explain matters to him
What is it sir? These summons to this place
l understand your state of mind After your return from lndia
Even if you are happy outwardly l see you are hurting inside
This has happened to me also
l lost the girl l was supposed to marry
When my presence became a burden l just took off to Delhi
l practical solution to the problem our presence causes to our loved ones
A common sense
Now you are in the same situation And need to take a similar decision
You sacrifice a lot for others Go ahead and do this also
Your presence has become A disturbance to everyone's peace of mind
Why be a target for their dislike?
Go, go away! Anywhere Let others not see your face and fret
Why are you so disturbed? l should have suggested this myself
lt did occur to me
When l thought of my financial burdens l decided to forget the idea of leaving
l will not stand in anybody's way To a happy life
l will leave sir After their engagement
lt's a chef's right
And the last supper of one leaving His love behind
A single wick lamp shining at night
Smiling till dawn
ln brightness of the day and the shining sunlight
Burning unseen this wick on and on
A single wick lamp shining at night
Smiling till dawn
ln brightness of the day and the shining sunlight
Burning unseen this wick on and on
As one role finishes continuing into another
Every day is a new role unending
This heart which murmurs only love
Penance of this heart it never ends, never
A single wick lamp shining at night
Smiling till dawn
ln brightness of the day and the shining sunlight
Burning unseen this wick on and on
Hey! ln old movies when hero loses heroine lt's the same situation
Go and sing whatever your heart feels like
Come on go
Sweet verses that tempted the poet
The very same poet who hid another love within his poetry
The sweet Pandanus flowers adored the river
While the blue ocean lusted the flowing river
Sweet verses that tempted the poet
The very same poet who hid another love within his poetry
The sweet Pandanus flowers adored the river
While the blue ocean lusted the flowing river
Shadows turn into colors
You are the swan in beauty
My life lies in your laughter
You are the spreading brightness
A single wick lamp shining at night
Smiling till dawn
ln brightness of the day and the shining sunlight
Burning unseen this wick on and on
The pearl in its oyster
Desired the waves
Asked the thrashing waves an inaudible question
The pearly drops of rain that falls
Fell in love with the leaf
While the leaf slipped off to merge with the rain
As the petals of day cover like silverwoven cloth of night
Spreading out through my life
You remain a precious memory
A single wick lamp shining at night
Smiling till dawn
ln brightness of the day and the shining sunlight
Burning unseen this wick on and on
Who was that?
A guest who came late for the function
- This is a gift for your wedding - Thank you Pappan
lt's not from me
Charlie felt awkward so asked me to give it
Where is Charlie?
You have to be happy isn't it? So he was sent away
Why did you resort to this cruelty? What did Charlie do?
You are all making me ask this again and again
l had to do so For the sake of all here
l too feel bad sending him away
You are unhappy that Charlie left Aren't you?
l too feel miserable
You should have told everyone About the CD from Senor's room
Why did you take pity on a chap Who traded money for love?
lt was Charlie who showed pity
He convinced me that it was A forgivable mistake
l myself had to send him away Someone who had sacrificed so much
l needed to divert my mind That's why l got into that Bar
l saw Rahul there The others too were there
l was shattered to know What Rahul actually was
Later l enquired about him in Portugal
He led a bad life after leaving here
His main activity was gambling
He has built up a big debt upon himself
He returned to try and clear this debt
Not for his love for Kameela
Not only that There is another girl in his life
Don't delay anymore!
Go and pay up your debtors at the hotel
Also tell your girlfriend That this is alms from your old lover
l am not a mother lf l didn't do even this
Why did you do this?
You are a cheat who does not know the value of love
One who has not bothered to raise her child
Has no right to slap him
You have raised and loved Only her, not me
My mom was the money that reached me every month
So l loved money
ls that my fault?
All that you heard are true l am not refuting it
l don't know how much l loved you
May be love died under liabilities
l had decided neverto return
l respected and accepted what she offered
l played these games to cover my liabilities
Even though thrown to my face l am taking it
l need this To prevent myself from being jailed
Anyway sorry for everything And thanks for everything
Sir a donation to our festival
