Kadhu starts - "My lord, right from the beginning people have been gunning for me. I organized some star meets and those were all roaring successes. After that , I wrote a FF about calf love - that again evoked great interest. My success seems to have kindled some kind of jealousy here. I have been called as Naradar - the actual Naradars escape unhurt. Jas also threw daggers at me and encouraged all who
would needle me. Now, on top of all this, I was left with the evil duo!!! That is what irks me the most!!! A practical joke was planned...fine... but why was I left with the real ghosts of the lounge??? The night did not scare me...the flashes did not scare me...but the garlanded Giri sister and the mad gleamed Roja akka....boyyy I was terrorized!!! Went through some mental agony and I had to see a shrink!!! And, now I am here...seeking justice....." Kadhu is panting for breath .. Nallu quickly offers her some water...

Atina throws a look at Giri and Roja ..Roja avoids Atina's eyes....Giri acts as if her garland is caught in the chair.... Atina has seen this and more from the devil duo!!! Summons both "approach the bench Roja and Giri...NOW" Roja throws a quick look at Pat who has to nondhufy her vithi now - makes an urgent phone call "ada che... when will I ever be out of this Bail Roja out of trouble project???"

Atina is questioning the evil duo - " I made the mistake of making u both viewbies in the same topic ..not just one but two.... U both must be holding some sly discussions in the other thread and executing it here??? How did u allow such differences of opinions?? You should have seen this coming!!" Roja and Giri refuse to open their mouths ..Atina's BP is increasing by the second .....Jas is ready to defend the devil
duo if needed...."they did not disrobe me when the whole lounge waited for a strip show..." ..... Atina screams'Rojaaaaa" Roja stands like a kurathi who can be adamant like a mule.. Giri is adjusting Roja's orchid garlands.....

Kadhu is smitten by the scenario.... mouth agape...looks at the evil duo...Giri can feel some eyes piercing her back...turns to face the members and gives a paavam look (sariyana thiruttu kottu athu😳, bayangaramaaa act kudukkum .. when needed!!😳😳) Now Netra is almost in tears.... Runs to Kadhu and hugs her.... Kadhu hugs back
and both are lovey dovey... Netra apologizes for leaving Kadhu out and Kadhu apologizes for making this a big issue ......Both are busy making up..hugging and smiling...they do not realize that the lounge is suddenly quiet...eerie silence.. ...Kadhu and Netra stop chatting and look around .....

Roja laughs...the same hysterical laughter... which can freeze a volcano ... Atina throws the gavel at Roja and laughs along.... " ayyo Roja , intha drama ellam not my cup of tea... sirichu intha plan poora spoil panniduvennu bayanthe poitten...God... "

Giri starts her usual rolling on the floor... laughing... it takes a long time for the fleeing IF ians to realize that the evil duo had set the whole thing up for some excitement.....

Nallu has a big doubt..."Giri and Roja akka nacchunnu ore adi adikka anum nnu yetho pesinaangale...athu enna???" Turns around to see if she can ask someone.... Roja's laughter is getting more pronounced.... "ayyo vendam, ippo odidalaam, Roja akka sami aadi mudicha apram mella kettukkalam" Kadhu and Netra are holding hands and running..
Vinod runs behind reminding wifey " payyanai lounge le ye vittutu enge odare???" Netra answers "Roja akka namba ellararukkum than bayamu kaatuvaanga.... .aana babies kitte katta vera face irukku, no worries"......suddenly a nice melodious lullaby is heard...Roja is singing to baby K.....who coo coos to maddie😃😃.

KLIA Airport - Sue, Ho, Netra, Caryn, Vani - are waiting. It is a
day of arrivals -

Giri and Nallu are coming from Madras - ever since Giri
decided to secure the future of 7 generations after her, she
is seriously in to raising an orchid garden in Madras. She
managed to buy 10 acres near Madurai for the jasmine
flowers. She made Roja promise her that she will be taken
to the best orchid gardens - to choose varieties. Nallu had
to accompany - she just could not let Giri and Roja out of her
sight - "ipdi kan kothi paambu mathiri naa parthundu irukkum
pothe rendum yethanum senju ennai maatti vidaraanga!!! No
way will they escape my eyes this time" Also she needs to
buy reams of paper - she is busy writing FFs and Madras
stationery stores shut their doors - the moment they sight Nallu!!

Kadhu is coming from Hong Kong - on her way to S'pore - Netra
promised her that KLIA has enough computer points where she
can continue chatting in IF - 15 mins of uninterrupted chat - can
always relog, no problems.

Jas is coming from SA - she is just waiting to hold Roja's ears
and twist them out of shape - she just told Roja about her plan
of a leisurely day in a paradise resort and maddie did some
thing to mess that up - looks like maddie called the travel
agent in SA and rerouted the ticket - made Jas visit KL - Jas
is seething ....she had so many plans... a good bloke.... some
good wine....food... mmmm "Roj, innikki nee sethe, yen kannile
maattine......grrrr"

Maddie is missing ...as usual.... she had a long talk with Netra
the previous night and Netra started rolling on the floor - Vinod
called maddie in the middle of the night - all flustered -" RP, enna
thaan solringa apdi?? Intha IF le active aa aanathukku apram,
my wife acts real funny - Itho paarunga RP, u have already made
Nallu and Giri as your partners, leave my wife alone, ok?" He
does not realize that maddie has seen this and more - if she
wants some thing....she gets it...anyways why did Vinod get so
mad?? Netra was singing last night - a medley of songs -

Kadhu vara pora
katti pidikka pora
nanga rendu perum sernthu
Oorai kalakka porom
( athan varuvaha from dumdum dum)

Jas than varaanga
angum ingum
ethukkenru yaar arivaar
(nane varuven from yaar nee)

Giri vara Giri vara MH 180 le
Nallu vum vara Nalluvum varaa
athe flight le
(mappillai vanthaar maattu vandiyile)

Lyrics and music (copy) by Roja

Lavi and Kavi screamed in joy - they have never seen mommy
going mad like this!! Netra's MIL told them that they are much
better behaved children - "unga amma kku kirukku thaan pidichirukku"
But Lavi and Kavi love their mad mother!!!

Well, the flights have landed - various stages of getting out -
immigration, luggage collection etc.,etc., - Maddie is missing!!!
Caryn frets..."Netra enge ppa antha kirukku?" Netra blinks - obviously
she has been told only what she needs to know -
rest is mystery...so, whats new??? Sue is checking her jewellery ...
Vani presses her skirt once....Ho is seen in her teacher idol outfit......
what next???

One by one the IF ians who were flying long hours come
out and the reception committee gets excited seeing them -
Finally.... amidst incessant chatter the group leaves the air
port - the air port staff sigh - "some new type of Tsunami???
habba.... ellarum ore timele pesaraanga?? eppdi thaan puriyumO??"

All ask about the missing maddie but the others are equally
ignorant - Netra volunteers info - "ellaraiyum avanga veetukku
kootti kittu vara sonnanga, vaanga polam" - A luxury mini bus
has been chartered for this trip and fortunately the driver is
a smiling Malay gentleman - On the way to the airport, our
IF ians chattered so much that the driver wanted to abandon
the bus and run away. While the group was inside the airport,
he called his boss and cried about the noise level inside the
bus. The boss is a smart man - he advised the driver to buy
some ear plugs and use them for the rest of the day - now u
know the reason for his smile - he does not hear any thing -
not that he will understand anyways!!!

The group reaches the condo where maddie lives - Giri hugs
Roja and whispers some thing in to her ears - maddies smiles
with a wink - Nallu pales.... Kadhu says "aarambichittangyya
aarambichuttanga" a la Vadivelu... Netra makes an urgent
call to Vinod - "children,ok??" Vinod is actually having a real
cool time - twins in school, mom to cook, baby K is in deep slumber...
above all Netra is away - her rolling on the floor
and singing did not allow him a wink of sleep last night!!!
He hurriedly says that all is ok at home -"do not hurry, take
your time,ok?" Vani and caryn switch off their mobiles.....
Ho forgets vaathu and school for the day - believe me, in the
same order - vaathu takes the cake with the carton!!! Roja's
Australian neighbor is a late sleeper - he heard some commotion
in the next flat and called the security - "earth quake?? are we
supposed to go down the stairs??" - security assures that it is
Roja's guests - " u better leave home, now - rest of the day
could be more noisy..."

The group is oblivious to all the turmoil around them - after
a good shower, breakfast and coffee, all leave for
Sunway Pyramid - it is a week day and Sunway Pyramid
does not know that it is an eventful day - the shops are slowly
opening..... Harvey Norman cleaners are dusting the furniture......
the mall waits.......

The IF ians land at Sunway Pyramid mall - The place is all serene and calm - smiling Chinese girls start displaying their goods..... etching... embroidery.... small little trinkets.... cut fruits..... cosmetic jewellery.... You name it....they have it. Sue's legs just refuse to move away from Poh Kong jewellery shop - Caryn pulls her -" aww Sue, Nair bhaiyya has taken a promise from me and I have to honor it" Sue sees only gold - nothing else can catch her attention.

Nallu is carrying a big bag - which weighs her down - her right hand is almost touching her right knee!!! Giri stops at the florists with her jasmine garlands swinging vigorously - the flower shop girl looks at Giri with wide eyes - Malaysia is not used to seeing jasmine strung so tight - the Chinese girl wants a photograph with Giri - Giri bargains for a bunch of orchids ...and gets it....

Vani and Netra stop in front of a shoe shop - they have displayed a stool..oops heels.. in their window - Netra gives a longing look - Vani shoo shoos the idea of buying that -"Netra, if u buy that, u will have to get down from that shoe first and then only get down from the car!!!" Netra makes a mental note to entice Vinod -" antha shoe venum enakku"

Ho is used to herding her students - she manages to bring the group to the new wing. Roja sees HarveyNorman and her eyes emit the mad gleam - she nudges Giri andHarey Nallu - " this is the place - marble play panna sariyana edam" - Nallu passes the bag to Giri - the marble bag with multi colored glass marbles.

Jas sees a cake shop - bloke, cake carton..hmmm - strikes work -
" Roj, I need a cake , cheesiest possible , ok??' The atrium of the mall is suddenly silent - u can hear only the IF ians chatting - the locals look as if they have seen some aliens - "UFOs??? what language is this??
Martian?? what??? Saturn???" - the help desk girl can not close her mouth - human look alikes.. in various shapes, sizes, dresses, language ..... Malaysia invaded??? All the mobile phones get busy - each one calling their friends .. well they are yet to see the real game....

The group enters Harvey Norman - Nallu tests the ground - it is spotless -"Roja akka marble vilaiyaada intha surface is too smooth " Roja gives her a plastic bag which has some river sand - "we can spread this Nallu after we fix the area of play" Nallu beams. Jas with her usual etiquette shrinks - " u mean that u are going to dirty this place?? What will they think about Indians? I have to start defending to the whole of Malaysia now!!! "

Giri is busy marking corners. The tie clad sales boys try to stop. .."hmmm... mam... are u looking for some thing???" - the accent is so weird that Giri does not understand a word of what he says - mistakes it to be a request for a snap with her - points a 52 inches flat Samsung TV - well. Giri thinks that the TV is the remuneration for the snap but the sales boy construes that she is interested in buying it!!! Both engage in some conversation..both parties have no clue as to what is being said!!!

Nallu busily draws the lines.... the IF ians are asked to pick the marbles - Roja empties the whole thing down...the marbles role around...glistening in the lights... a small made Chinese man steps on a marble and falls ... his little son thinks that dad is playing the fool.... picks up a few more marbles and throws it under his dad's feet - poor man tries to get up but falls stepping on some more marbles...Roja momentarily forgets her game plan - helps that little boy in picking up more marbles... by now the marbles are all over.

Now the manager senses trouble - hurries to the problem aisle and wants to remove the group - has one look at Roja's eyes and is dazed - some kind of an electrical / ,magnetic current which freezes him.... Harvey Norman gets filled with children from outside...marbles attract them... One cute doll like Malay baby girl is crying .. "vu vu vu.. I want my daddy also to do the same trick.." Well, she looks at the Chinese man falling down , thanks to the IF ians and his son.... The dad has no option..comes in and steps on the marbles... falls.. the little girl claps her hands in glee and smiles - the sight is awesome.. her eyes are glistening with the tears shed just then and her lips and face smiling ......

Nallu and Vani have started the game - Nallu has chosen a green marble and Vani has an orange one - Nallu gets the first strike .... she bends her index finger as far back as possible and hits Vani's marble - it goes and hits the 52 inches TV and the sales boy frets.....

Vani is angry...ties her skirt tight and hits back with a vengeance - By now, a few kids want their dads to play the falling on marbles game...dads oblige.... some kids cheer Vani -' hit that, hit that...now now" they clap their hands and jump... The whole nation believes in betting - by now Nallu and Vani are the horses - serious betting is going on....

Netra takes an yellow marble...targets Giri's blue... Giri sweeps her garland and hides the marble from Netra's eyes.... The shop looks like a war zone... the manager slides down to the floor..helpless.. hands on head.... Well the frenzy gets feverish...any one who cares picks up the marbles and plays whatever they want to play... falling on them...hitting any thing that can be targeted.....the dazed manager screams for the security.... Roja senses trouble ....quietly collects her brood and leaves the arena....

The security guards come and are aghast - "how many can we arrest??? children too??" - The IF ians do not know that they are the headlines in all the Malaysian newspapers the next day....

The IF ians are inside the bus - Nallu is upset -" Roja akka, my green marble is broken... u did not allow me to pick them back also...." Giri looks around -" clever sales boy..did not part with that TV??" ... Jas at last gets time to twist Roja's ears..."where is my cake?? the cheesiest of them all??" Sue is dreaming about the tiny , delicate diamond necklace ...Poh Kong, here I come for my next B'day..."

The Malay driver dumps the group outside maddie's condo... scoots without collecting the money.." let my boss come and collect... if the cops smell this group, I have to go behind the bars as well... "

Harvey Norman staff had to clean for a week..Sunway Pyramid is considering to impose a few entry rules.... Our IF ians..... aww, they are a force to reckon.... nothing fazes them....😳😳
