PART 1
Maan again wakes up with a memory of that day...His 2 days stay in Chennai 2 years back. That Girl....why I still remember her? She is the only girl who has made him restless and that too to this extent...... Its been 2 years but still, why I feel that I will meet her again?
Flashback:
In Chennai...2 years back...
It was 4:00 PM, An unusual pleasant day compared to usual sunny atmosphere of Chennai. Maan just finished his meeting with a client on Mount Road. The deal was finalized for a major upcoming project in Chennai outskirts. He was waiting for the car arranged by his Chennai associate. He calls the driver and found it will 30 mins for the car to arrive due to heavy traffic . Maan decides to stroll around the busy Mount Road...On the other hand, a girl who is walking just few feet ahead to him. Obviously Maan didn't pay any attention initially. Another guy who has been following her and has already pushed her intentionally on her left hand and vanished in the crowd... He once again managed to do the same act and vanished in the crowd. she turns around to find no one both the times... she blabbers to herself and looks up and talks to her god. Bhagawane... Enna Kashta kaalam idhu? ... innaiku kaathala kooda bhuvanava oru rowdy payyan seendirukan... Ippo oruthan enna??...( Babaji ... what tough times we are getting to witness?This morning some rowdy guy has teased Bhuvana and now ME??) She pauses and gets even more thinking about what has been happening with the girls in this city and continues her self talk... idhe ellam summa vidakudadhu... Andha rascal innorudarava en mela kai vekkatum...avanukku vetchurukken.... (Should not ignore such acts...let that rascal dare to even touch me...I will teach him a lesson)... She has been piling up her anger on similar eve teasing events that she has encountered in Chennai and decided to teach this person a lesson once she happen to catch him. The third time again the same guy pushes her and somehow escapes in a fraction of seconds. She turns around and finds Maan right behind her... and at that point of time, she mistook him to be the same guy who has been doing this eve teasing acts with her ...She gave an angry look to maan and gave him one tight slap and started using all abusive words in Tamil with all angry expressions...
"Unna Partha nalla payyanatam theriyare...Ippadiya seiva?Vekkam Illa? Manners Illa? Unna innoru darava en pinnadi sutharada partheen...Policekitta solliduven jagrathai"
( By the look of you, you don't seem to be that sort of a guy...Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Don't you have manners? If I get to see you again coming behind me, I will handover you to police...BE CAREFULL ).
She said this and happened to leave without expecting any explanation
Maan stood there shocked... wondering what just had happened...Even though that slap was not painful..but still, till date nobody ever dared to come close to him and look at the guts of this girl...but why did she slap me? What did she say? What language was it? Assuming Tamil. Why am I not getting angry on her? By the time he could get any of his answers, that girl walks away from his sight...Maan was forced out of his thought by his driver...
"SIRRR...Sorry sir, late due to traffic..."
Maan: Hmm... that's all he could utter and he leaves from that place. From that moment till now, that girl has been disturbing Maan...He doesn't even know her name and any other detail about her...He couldn't take her out of his memory...On that day she was dressed to kill...She was wearing a light yellow south Indian cotton churidar making her look slim...Yellow colour was adding to her fair complexion, Her long hair plaited loose...Simple earrings...Small Bindi on her forehead...Eyes filled with light kaajal...Her dark brown eyes which were fuming with anger at that time yet beautiful...She was simple yet elegant. Maan was wondering why is he thinking about her again and again...Why? He was wondering if she looked sooo beautiful when she was angry then how she would look when she is in a good mood. Will he ever get to see her again?
That girl on the other hand was been teased again by the same guy who pushed her three times at a go...now he has once again pushed her for the 4th time...Now this girl is getting mad thinking to give one more tight slap...She caught hold of him and shouted at him YOU YOU... and stood rooted to see someone else now.
That guy scans her from top to bottom and smirks and talks in a shameless chennai slang...😏
"EEI Paapa, naan dhaan unna itthanavati idichen...Ennanra Ippo?? (Hey Baby, I am the one who dashed you this many times... so, what you want to do now?) He notices that this girl is standing all lost and takes a sigh and continues... Paavam...poiyum poiyum andha aalai aranjiye...Aanalum unnoda Medhuvaana kaiyaala arrai vaanginaane...Avan romba kuduthuvetchavan" 😏😉 (and you slapped the wrong person...Poor guy...Anyways he was a lucky fellow to have got slapped by your soft hands) that guy says this with a smirk and a wink and ran away from her sight with an intention of not getting caught by her again.
That girl didn't even know that this guy has escaped from her hand as she stood like a statue..feeling extremely sad for slapping a wrong guy.. Now she looks here and there like a lost kid..
Ayyo Bhagawane*...Thappana aala aranjuttene...😨😰(Hey Babaji...I slapped a wrong person) That girl felt bad for slapping an innocent guy. She wanted to apologize...she comes back to the same place but didn't find him and looking out for him restlessly.
That Girl's name is GEETIKA (GEET)
(* In the original TV series, Geet would always utters " Babaji" name referring to her God. Here in Geetika, she says "Bhagawane" which is the same name but in Tamil language. Please remember this as I will not translate this again and again 😉😊)
GEETIKA...Screamed Bhuvana, one of Geet's cousins who lives in Chennai. Geet turned around to look at Bhuvana
Bhuvana: Nee Enga Poirundai? Naan unnai engellam thedinen theriyuma? Enna Aachu? Yaarai Thedarai? (Where did you go? You know where all I searched for you? What happened? Who are you searching?)
Geet had come down to Chennai for a small family function and later came here for shopping in Mount Road along with Bhuvana. They got lost somewhere between the busy Mountroad and now they found each other.
Geet narrated the entire incident to Bhuvana...about what just happened
Bhuvana: Paravaillai di (Its OK)...Indha oorla idhellam sagajam (Its too common in this city)..namma madiri vayasu ponnunga rumba jagradaiya irukkanam (Girls of our age need to be more careful and adjust to the situation).
Geet: Illa Di...I slapped somebody else for the mistake of that jerk...He seemed to be a nice guy and I slapped him...screamed at him and he was not at fault. I am not finding this guy. I need to apologise
Bhuvana couldn't control...she giggled and said...Unna Katikaporavan paavam di unna kattindu avan enna enna avasthai pada porano (I pity the person who is going to get married to you and I wonder what all he will have in store after marrying you)
Bhuvana...I am so tensed and you are making fun of me . Please help me in tracing this person.
Bhuvana has never seen Geet's this avtar...
Bhuvana: Sari Sari...Avan Parkaruduku Eppadi irundaan? (Ok..Ok..How he looked like?)
Geet: Tall, Fair, Handsome, well built, Biig Eyes, Biig Eyelashes...She went on and on with the non stop descriptions...He was in a kind of semi formal out fit...Wonder where he is from...I doubt he was somewhere from North as he didn't seem to be a chennaite...And I scolded him in Tamil...Poor Guy and makes a baby face
Bhuvana: Hey Hey...hold on. ..Ennama Nadakudu Inge?(What's going on?) She asked as if she is teasing Geet😉
Geet: Patting on Bhuvana's sholder...Chee Podi...Nee Nenakaramaadhiri Onnum illai(Nothing like what you are thinking)...she says it with a blush. 😳
Bhuvana: Naan Enna nenaichennu unakku eppadi teriyum? 😉... (Now how did you know what I am thinking??) Bhuvana is surely seeing something new in Geet and she takes a lead in teasing her further...On the other hand, Geet feels flushed and not able to answer bhuvana further..And she changes the topic.
Geet: Bhuvana, Podhum di (Leave it) I dont think I will be able to find this person now. lets finish with our shopping...My train to Bangalore starts at 6:00 AM tomorrow morning and need to finish with packing by tonight.
Needless to mention, next few days Geet was thinking only about the guy whom she slapped...On one side she really felt sorry and wanted to sincerely apologize and on the other hand she was admiring his looks...His eyes..his sharp features...his shocked face...A strange feeling started developing in her mind...She was trying to trace who is he? She really wish to meet him once and ask for apologies...but reality stuck to her that never she'll get to meet this guy again and she carried on with her life. She began to concentrate on her studies completely forgetting about that incident.
Flashback of what happened 2 years back ends. It was indeed LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT but both deny it somehow. Where do Maan and Geetika stand on date? Will they ever get to meet each other again? Lets see.

Such a Fabulous Start . Men that goes around eve teasing are just useless , I totally dislike them . this guy that kept on touching on Geetika and escaping until he did the same but then Maan was behind Geet and slaps him and speaks Tamil which he does not understand but he is so shocked that someone actually came close to him and then slaps him , from this incident both Maan and Geet realized the other was good looking and Maan still two years could not forget the beautiful girl while Geet had to concentrate on her studies
