Thanks Giri....and thanks to all those who have done an oustanding job on the updates, with your comments and quips...

Thanks Giri for the update. I am trying to figure out which is annoying me more - the fact that Shanthi madam has got back her "conscious", or RK's incompetence in hiring a person without checking his background or credentials, or Karthik's atrocious Hindi - mera patni, is this patni a man or a woman?

Overall, I am glad that 2008 is off to a flying start, Shanti has got back her "conscious", RK has found out that he is not as great a businessman as he is reputed to be, and ACD is on the verge of solving a case. Vinu, get your manjal saris ready, I have already gone to the Indian store and got the coconut milk ready. We are ready to celebrate this as well as the fact that we were spared from seeing Abi with another scheme today.

Giri, thanks da. At last, some thing moves.
I have lost count of the cases to be solved -
Vinu, how about listing all the cases and submitting
a report to CR??? you will do a much better job
than the whole of Aanandam Police dept. put
together!!!

Ellarukkum munnaadiyae "excuse me" sollidaraen (especially Vinu)!

Some observations which confuse me big time:
1) As noted by so many others, "Shanthi-kku conscious vanthudichu", as mentioned by Doctor, Karthik and ACD. Blaah.
2) ACD-un Inspector-un ICU kulla coola shoes-oda poranga while ignoring a sign right on the top of the door stating "No shoes ...". Adhu eppadi? Oh .. marandhuttaen .. Anandam police officers-kku ellaam English varaadhu! Ha ha ha 😉

Thanks Giri for the super updates.

Thanks buddies for the updates. I saw the episode too......thideer vegam is good.

ANd about the "consious" matter, shouldnt they be saying consiousness vanthiruchu. It was kind of wierd...hearing concious vanthirchu......
aka "Conscious vanthiruchu.....puthu lipstick potten,....

Madhu

Oh, dear, oh dear! Please stop this "conscious" business before it becomes acceptable to use it in place of consciousness. (Hey, didn't RK say earlier that Shanthi had lost "conscience". If so, that would have been hillarious.) Actually, in defence of CR and his script writer, it's hard to be grammatically conscious (yes, conscious) when you mix English and Tamil. I guess they meant to say "Shanthi ippo conscious-a irukkiral." Instead, they said, "Shanthikku conscious vandhudicchu".

I haven't seen yesterday's episode here in Singapore, where we are three days behind. But military-like teams in the police force aren't uncommon. In the US, they are known as SWAT or "special weapons and tactics" teams, trained to perform high-risk operations, especially involving terrorists. Since Samson is a terrorist, the deployment of such a police unit would be most appropriate. Looks like CR has done his homework actually.

No shoes in ICU?? Interesting; only in India, I guess. I've visited patients in ICU, both in Singapore and Australia. Cell phones are forbidden but footwear isnt at all. Can't understand why the footwear ban in Indian hospitals. Is it to ensure that people don't plod heavily in their footwear and drag patients out of slumber or "conscious" (or "conscience")??😃

Thanks, Giri, for the speedy update. No need to worry about lapses of logic as long as the story is moving and cases get solved and ACD lives up to his "Encounter" reputation. Thanks, CR, for heeding our pleas. But you've forgotten another plea of ours. Why is there no movement at all in the ACD-Priya romance? Does she have to turn 50 for ACD to be convinced she has attained sufficient maturity?

Very good update giri.
One needs to see where all this is leading to.
