Update for July 11th

Abhi is in her office and Ganga and Bhaskar are with her. Abhi tells Ganga that she has a few problems at home and is thinking of building a new house and in walks Rajamani madam who overhears her conversation. Abhi says that since Mano is now married they need a bigger house and Rajamani madam agrees with her. She says that banks will be happy to give her a loan and tells Abhi that she would be happy to be the guarantor for the loan. She then leaves with Ganga and Ganga probably thinks at that moment idhu dhaan chance, she says that she wants to buy a flat and if Madam can also be her guarantor. Rajamani madam refuses saying that Abhi is an owner of a company so even if she were the guarantor she is confident that the loan will get paid however as Ganga is only an employee agreeing to be her guarantor would be a risk that she was not willing to take.

Next scene

Scene now shifts to a dance studio where a strange looking man (The instructor) is seen dancing with several others looking on. (Several others being the student). The instructor introduces a guy called Maddy as a temporary instructor. The new instructor starts a class with the men and in walks Anjali. Anjali is seen talking with the girls and one of the girls taunts Anjali that she has agreed to marry the leftovers of her sister (Leftovers being Kishore!!) Anjali starts her rudra tandavam and then namma hero Maddy comes into the scene and starts vazhunjifying with Anjali. After a few minutes this jollu party asks Anjali to be his friend (What is he in KG class or something, need someone to hold his hand?) Anjali is hesitant but the other girls encourage her saying that Maddy is very popular and Anjali is lucky that he wants to be her friend. Someone lets slip that Anjali is the Great Adhi's sister and Maddy now has dollar signs in his eyes!!

Next scene.

Abhi is in a room and Thols joins her. Abhi wants reassurance from Thols that he still cares about her and Thols assures her that he is the same man who has always had so much respect for Abhi. Abhi then tells him about building a house and Thols is all kush for Abhi. Abhi looks like she is going to say something else but stops…

Adhi's home

Eashwaran and Patti are seated with the Josiyar. Gujju mami is sitting like a gollu bomma looking annoyed. The Josiyar says that the baby is too young to prepare a horoscope now but from what he knows so far the baby is going to have a very good life though it will create problems for its father. He is asked to pick a date for the Punyajalam and he does so. As he is leaving he talks to Gujju mami who walks away from him without saying a word. Usha asks if the baby will cause problems for its father but the josiyar assures her that the father will have problems only in his business life but all will be solved soon. Usha goes upstairs and from the balcony sees Anjali coming home being dropped by Maddy. Usha sees Maddy holding Anjali's hand and is suspicious….

Thodarum….

Update for July 12th

Scene continues from where Usha is eavesdropping on Anjali. Anjali is seen telling Maddy that she would call him later. When Anjali comes in Usha questions her about Maddy and tells her not to be too friendly with Maddy especially as her wedding day is near. Anjali asks Usha to mind her business and walks away in a huff.

Karpagam visits Abhi in her office and Bhaskar escorts her into Abhi's room. Abhi tells Karpagam about constructing their home and says that Bhaskar has shortlisted a property on ECR Road. Bhaskar is all chuffed and says that he has managed to bargain on the price. Someone walks into the room and asks Abhi to look at some documents. Bhaskar immediately steps in saying that Abhi should not be disturbed for such things and that he would take care of it. Bhaskar orders Krishnan Sir to get some coffee for all. (Basically behaving like he was indispensable to Abhi and like he had a right to make all decisions!! Wishful thinking on his part!!) Thols walks into this conversation and when Abhi tells him about her plans to go and check out the ECR Road property, Thols says that he had heard that the property was under dispute and suggests that she check out property in Velacherry. Abhi agrees and leaves to inspect the property with her mother and Thols. A miffed Bhaskar refuses to join them and Krishnan Sir now takes advantage and taunts him.

Rekha is shown travelling in her taxi and high-handedly complaining to the driver that the air con was not working. Some guys come and start teasing her. Ganga happens to pass by then and threatens the guys with a bottle saying that it was acid (which was actually water and Ganga admitted this later) and that she would throw it on them. The frightened men leave and Rekha is ever so grateful. She offers to drop Ganga and Ganga accepts. While driving Rekha invites Ganga to her home and Ganga agrees.

Rekha's dad is singing praises of Ganga's bravery and in walks kulla Adhi. Adhi is furious and enlightens Rekha and her father about Abhi/Ganga connection. Adhi tells Ganga that he would be glad to help her have her own business and lead a comfortable life if she could help him break the Thols/Abhi partnership. He twists the knife a bit further saying how she is playing second fiddle to Abhi and how Rajamani does not value her. Ganga looks indecisive and says that she will have to think about it.

Update for 13th July

First scene

Karthik is at the top of a house and there are people below shouting at him and telling him not to jump. Bharathi comes in and joins everyone in asking him to come down. He then calls 'Anandhi' and Karthik stops in his tracks and looks around for Anandhi. Bharathi manages to convince him and bring him down. He contacts Anandhi and asks her to come immediately. Anandhi comes and talks to one of the nuns who says that it would be good for Karthik to leave the house and go outdoors. She tells Anandhi that Karthik is reassured when he sees her and suggests that Anandhi take him out. Anandhi is concerned about how she will take Karthik out alone and Bharathi says that she could tell her family that she was going out of station on an assignment and that he would accompany her.

Bhaskar's house

Alamelu and Vidya are as usual fighting and Bhaskar walks in looking preoccupied. Bhaskar tells Alamelu how Abhi listened to Thols and went to inspect a property at Velachery ignoring Bhaskar's efforts to get Abhi to look at a property that he had chosen. Alamelu says that it is not important and that once Abhi's new home was constructed, it would be Alamelu and her family who will move into that house. (Nalla dhaan indha amma pagal nerutthle kanavu kaanaraanga!)

Next scene

A few detectives are gathered around a computer screen and using technology they construct detective Prabhu's face on the screen from the skull that they had discovered earlier. The thiruttu policeman Thillai wants to know the results and one of the detectives say that the results will take a week to be ready and refuses to divulge any further info. After he leaves another detective comes and tells Thillai that one of the people dead has been confirmed as inspector Prabhu.

Next scene

Thillai informs his latest findings to Adhi, minister and Rekha. He says that he is waiting for confirmation if the other person was Upendra or not. To which Adhi says that they could say that the person was Upendra and blame Abhi and Thols for his death. Thillai agrees and leaves.

Next scene

Abhi is at her construction site and Bhaskar says he wants to talk to her in private. He tells her that she should not trust Thols as he has taken 3 lakhs commission and he is saying this only because he is concerned about Abhi's welfare. Abhi refutes Bhaskar's claim listing all of Thols qualities like how he encouraged her to start this business, how he has been supportive blah, blah, blah and that Thols would never betray her. Bhaskar says that was then and people change over time, look how I was against you but now I am on your side working towards your welfare (Oh how ridiculous is that!!) Thols can also change just like how I have, Bhaskar says. Abhi sticks to her guns saying that she refuses to think badly about Thols and after all he was going to marry Anandhi!! Bhaskar looks surprised (So was I!!) Bhaskar says that Anandhi had refused to marry Thols but Abhi says that was only because she was angry with Abhi for not agreeing to marry Dr Mahesh, but she still intended to conduct their marriage and that Anandhi and Thols would not go against her wishes. She exits saying that her friendship is so important that she was even willing to give up Abhi constructions for Thols's friendship.

Thodarum….

Friday 14th July 2006 - Update

First scene

Anjali is talking to a friend on her mobile phone and is saying to this friend that Maddy thinks she should enter the Miss Chennai contest. Anjali says that she has decided to enter the Miss Chennai contest. Kanchu walks in and grabs Anjali's phone and tells her not to talk on the phone all the time. Kanch now leaves the phone near the baby's cradle. She looks around hesitatingly and then looks at the baby. Usha comes in with the bottle and sees Kanchu looking at the child. Kanchana seeing Usha walks away. Usha is playing with the baby and Anjali's mobile phone rings. When Usha picks up the phone it is Maddy on the line saying that he wants to tell Anjali a joke. Usha does not respond so Maddy continues, tells his joke and wants to know if Anjali enjoyed it. Usha now disconnects the call and goes to see Eashwaran. She briefs him about Maddy and Eashwaran is very grateful that Usha has the well being of his family in her heart. Usha says that Anjali's wedding should be conducted well otherwise Kanchu would be heartbroken

Next scene

Anandhi walks into her home and overhears, Abhi, Karpagam and Aarti talking. Karpagam wants to conduct Anandhi's marriage as soon as possible and Abhi assures her that she will do so. Karpagam as usual starts her dialogues, how she has three daughters and how not one of them has had a good married life. Abhi assures Karpagam that she will convince Anandhi to marry Thols.

Next scene

Easwaran goes and talks to Anjali and says that now that she is an engaged woman she should be careful about who she is talking to. Anjali annoyed goes downstairs looking for Usha. Kanchana, Patti, Arjun and Aadhi also come in at this stage. Anjali says that she has a friend called Maddy and that Usha was interfering in their friendship. Usha tells Anjali that he does not seem like a decent guy and that she took a phone call from him wherein he told her an x-rated joke. Anjali is now furious and asks Usha how dare you take my phone calls? Usha says that now that Anjali is engaged she should be careful about her behaviour. Anjali retorts that Usha has no right to talk as she was the one who got pregnant before marriage, refused to marry Aadhi and then ended up marrying him. She taunts Usha that she was the one who encouraged Anu and Mano to get married. Arjun furious now slaps Anjali and they start fighting with Aadhi now supporting Anjali. Patti now intervenes and sends everyone to their rooms. Kanchu is now furious at Usha and accuses her of destroying her family and curses Usha and her baby. Patti tries to shush her up but as usual Kanchu is on a roll. Patti manages to send Kanchu away and tries to console Usha.

Next scene

Anandhi is waiting at a building and Thols comes in. Anandhi tells Thols that there is talk of her wedding with Thols again and says that even though she agreed initially, she had no personal opinion about it but now she says that she does not want to go ahead with the wedding. A relieved Thols agrees with her and says that when the time comes he will talk to Abhi about it. Anandhi briefs him about the Karthik situation and Thols is very appreciative of Anandhi's efforts to help Karthik get better…

Thodarum

July 17, 2006 - Monday updt

Today it was abhi's nose that got cut...thanks to Thols and her avasara buddhi, most definitely not in this order.

sagalai gaandam-
A moneylender yells at the doorstep of the local maattu kottagai, in charge of Alamelu. Vidya is a silent spectator. He keeps asking/demanding for his money and Alms says she will return it next month. He is adamant that he will not move without collecting his dues.
Who else but our Gaana-Rajesh comes there in his auto with his varaaga avataara friend piggy-backing on him/his auto. Rajesh steps in and supports Alms...nice-aa sandhula sagalai family-kku support kuduthu, ottikkalaamnu he thinks. He asks if the guy knows who Rajesh is...and his contacts. And is the guy from Saidapet or somewhere? if so, does he know sangili murugan, cycle chain chinnappa, veecharuvaa vengattu, blade bannaaru and the likes who are very intimately known to Rajesh? This moneylender asks if Rajesh is threatening him (ivan endha lOgathula irukkaanO) and Rajesh says enough peela is enough and just because he knows the above well-respected citizens of the chEri gumbal, doesn't mean they know him..(he pulls a Vivek on them) but he wants to settle things amicably. So, borrows time for Alms, sorry alams.. He asks Alamelu akka when she would be able to repay the loan and what was the main reason she borrowed in the first place? she answers that she didn't have money, hence she borrowed. Eureka! shouts Rajesh (it was more like yE yakka!), see, that is the reason she borrowed and turning to her he asks, so do you have money now? she answers no and he says that if she had borrowed money because she didn't have any, how do you expect her to have money..?(now he pulls a kaundamani-sendhil on them).
anyway, he requests yakka to keep the money ready next month and asks the guy to leave them in peace. Basker comes by and finds out what happened and Alms praises Rajesh to no end...Rajesh brushes it all aside and says, namma sagalaikku itha kooda paNlaina epdi? (adiyE-ngaradhukku pondaati kidaiyaadhu indha rendu dhadi pasangaLukkum, idhukkuLLa enna sagalai vEndi irukku?) He says how come Basker, who is now employed in Abhi's place where lakhs of money overturns every day, is unable to crop up this paltry loan? Alms takes up this cause and asks Basker the same. Basker says as long as Thols is there, they will not have any in with Abhi. Even now, Abhi reprimanded him when he said something against Thols and even said that Thols was going to marry Anandhi.

both sagalais come out with a brilliant plan of stopping this from happening. Hardy says they should go talk to Abhi against Thols; he feels that Thols was the prime cause of his breakup with Abhi. and turns to Laurel and tells him, even in his case, didn't he harbor Arthi in his house when she left him? if he hadn't, maybe Arthi would have stayed with him. (poor guys, they don't know how Thols mind works...he has Shanthi for cooking and he needed a tall person for cleaning, reaching up to the ceiling and who else but Arthi fit the bill?) Baasha gets really excited and says, I did not think like this...(he should take the age-old lie detector test - when he said 'think', it would gone buzz..........)ok, you lead and I will follow. Alms is all worked up now...

Sneha makes chappathi (wonderful ones) while her daughter is dancing...(sorry, got so attached to the story and its kiLai kadhaigaL, i thought this was also one) but it proved to be a commercial for aashirvaad aataa.

abinaya gaandam-

Abhi gets down from an auto (leaves with bag and baggage without paying - do they have pre-paid autos in chennai now?) and walks in an open house...(all houses in serials are open - indha open house policy is scary, considering the number of kolai/koLLais going on - but to help us, none of these gumbals go these open houses)...She calls out for Arthi, mom comes out, and then chithi comes in and abhi welcomes her. Mom wonders why chithi is here and then a priest comes...first he was Sami then he turned to iyer. Abhi asks 'Sami' to go inside (mind you, all the other family members are assembled in the front hall and the Sami just goes inside....in one of the doors - where?) and stops Mano from going outside and tells him that a nalladhu is going to happen here. 'nalla kaalam porakkudhu, nalla kaalam porakkudhu' says abhi and anu also watches. KKK again asks what and abhi says, surprise? we are going to fix anandhi-Thols wedding date..that is why i bought all these fruits and snacks. Arthi says why now when Anandhi is away? (ahaa, she is in kodaikkaanal with the payithiyam - maybe abhi gets season tickets there - take mad-dies one by one to be cured - did mahesh accompany them? or will it be a new psycho (logist) now?

Abhi says, why not? this was determined long back and now we are just setting the date officially. Anandhi had some important work and so had to go. Mom asks how abt Thols and Abhi says, he is expected. Mano is happy and Anu is skeptical..(indha veetula enna dhaan ozhungaa nadandhirukku - look? inwardly she is gloating that at least with anandhi being married and gone, one less body to thaandhufy in her midnight water/snack forays to the kitchen). chithi is happy. Thols enters and is being asked to sit. He asks what was the reason behind this urgent summons? Abhi lets him on the surprise and he is really surprised. He asks why now when anandhi is away? and dhidu dhipnu? (same dialog uttered by KKK earlier) Abhi gives the same reply as above and Thols says, let us wait for Anandhi.

Meanwhile, our Hardy enters and sees the big crowd. Abhi welcomes him and he fibs and says he wants her signature on a check and Abhi, without seeing anything, signs a check..(wish alms was here, she would have happily filled an amt and flown away to California, with uppu....probably married vidya off to uppu for his earning potential and learn a movement or two from him for free)

She then asks him to sit..(ivaLai chumma odhaichaa kooda pOraadhu, dhimsu kattaiyaala pOdanum - why formalities and this hangup over busky?) and he says, looks like all of them are busy and also, sagalai no.2 is in the streets. Arthi perks up at this...(ha! i get to see my husband) and she is inside Shanthing...(making coffee). now this can be used as a verb within kolangal.
Abhi asks Hardy to go bring Laurel inside and he dutifully goes out. He makes Rajesh shed his auto coat and avataar also wants to come in. Rajesh stops him and walks inside with Basker.

Now Abhi asks Thols why we cant proceed without anandhi and that she will be ok with it and thols says, after adding and subtracting all things, he figures it is best that this marriage isn't meant to be. SHOCK! abhi's nose starts bleeding...(from the cut) and KKK is stunned. She extols the virtues of anandhi..at least Arthi is vaayaadi and speaks without thinking but anandhi is a gem of a person and no one can find fault with her. So, avaLidam enna kutram kandeer? andha kutrathirku thagundhaarpOl, seerai sErthu kodukkirOm...sorry, i digress. Thols says anandhi is a good girl and now Abhi thinks that the earlier incidents in office is the cause for this withdrawal. Thols assures that he has never mistaken abhi or her intentions but he feels that such a join with anandhi would not be in the best interests of both and there are other mitigating factors that he is not at that moment, able to reveal. KKK again says, apart from that one instance where she fell in love and then things went wrong, (boy, is she going to flip when she hears that wachO karthik is still a part of anandhi's life), anandhi is pure as snow. Thols again insists that he has facts that he cannot talk about and one day he will and says sorry. Basker rises as the phoenix and says what does Thols think of himself and how can he upset Abhi? Thols stops him and says this is none of his business and asks him to shut up. Basker says it is indeed his business, when abhi has done so much to his family, it is his duty to speak up for her. Thols again stops him and Basker says, sorry to abhi and says that he spoke out of turn, for her good and walks out, followed by Baasha. Thols also apologizes once more and leaves. Abhi is stunned.

Sneha makes soft chappathis and her daughter dances once again...sorry, aashirvaad attaa again.

sarakku gaandam...

a seedy sarakku establishment. Laurel and Hardy are 'full' of it; and Basker is upset that Thols stole the rug from under them. He feels that Thols withdrawing, even though beneficial to them, took the onus from them and they were left with nothing to do. He swears vengeance and says Baasha has to support him. Baasha says he is after all an autowala and has no tricks up his sleeve, except a bottle or two and also that he can sing gaana paattu...(i was wishing for him to sing but no, he did not. if uppu can dance, why cant Rajesh sing?) He asks Basker for directions. They show avataar near them, gobbling up food. Basker says, first thing, they have to break abhi-thols partnership at work and outlines his plan, in silent mode.
....thodarum.........

July 18th Update

First scene

Ganga at her home reading a book and Uma (her sister) comes in and asks her to come to the temple with her. Ganga waxes philosophically about how there is no God and how come Uma is still believing in God after he has not lifted a finger to help her with her husband or father. Uma manages to convince her and they both leave for the temple

Next scene

Thols is seen talking to another person. Bhaskar, Rajesh and his friend walk up to him and all of them are drunk. Bhaskar questions Thols about why he was not willing to marry Anandhi and Thols refuses to answer his questions. Bhaskhar then makes dirty insinuations that Thols is now after Abhi as she is rich and that is why he does not want to marry Anandhi. Bhaskar and Thols get into a fist fight, Bhaskar is hurt and all of them along with Rajesh and his friend go away vowing to take vengeance against Thols.

Next scene

Uma and Ganga in the temple. Uma is seen praying while Ganga is seen well doing nothing except lecture Ganga as to how the Lord is not helping Uma in her pitiable situation!! Coffemaker Shanti and her daughter arrive and all of them politely say hi, hello. Into this scene enters the villan, the man who wanted to learn music from Uma but ended up wanting something else all together from her!! (Remember that creepy guy, sorry didn't get his name) This man goes into the temple and the pujari does mariyadhai to this man by putting a shawl around his shoulder. Ganga demands one too and accuses the man as being a dirty old person. The old man walks away furiously, and now it is his turn to swear revenge on Ganga. Uma tells Shanti that Ganga is actually a very good person by heart "Ana pesathan theriyadhu" She then is full of praise for Thols and says that Ganga is very lucky that Thols likes her, however Ganga has not responded to Thols feelings yet. Shanti looks shocked

Bhaskars house

Bhaskar and Rajesh come in and as usual Alamelu starts her ranting and raving when she sees Bhaskar hurt. She starts hammering at Rajesh and he tries to escape by saying that Thols was the one who was responsible for Bhaskar's condition. All three of them complain and plot about how to take revenge on Thols.

Thodarum….

July 19th update

Thols is sitting all by himself looking lonely and unhappy. Shanti comes up to him and says that she is going out. Thols asks where and she says she is going to meet the house owner as remember, it is the 1st of the month. Shanti picks on him and says that Thols is very preoccupied of late. Thols asks Shanti to be quiet saying that he is already very upset with the happenings in Abhi's house and that she should not add to his grief. Shanti wants to know why he refused to marry Anandhi and Thols does not answer.

Shanti is seen talking to the owner of the house and in comes Alamelu amma in Rajesh's auto. Alamelu on seeing Shanti goes off at her screaming and ranting and in general criticising Thols and making ugly insinuations about his relationship with Abhi and Shanti. She also tells the house owner not to rent the house to people like Thols.

Ganga is at her home and Uma does a Shanti here (Brings coffee for Ganga!). Uma is all praise for Thols and says how he would be the perfect husband for Ganga. Ganga says that she likes Thols but was not willing to marry him as she is not the most important person in Thols life. She says that Abhi is equally important to him and that was something she could not tolerate. She says that if Thols was willing to severe all relationships with Abhi then she would marry him.

Chittappa's house

Chittappa is gloating over the fact that Thols has refused to marry Anandhi and how it serves Abhi right. Chitti as usual is angry and Satish and his wife are mutely standing by. The thillu mullu guy who took Satish to Andhra to do thirutu business comes in and asks Chittappa to do the same business with him in another state. Chittappa refuses and thillu mullu leaves. Satish asks why chittappa refused and chittappa says that he does not want to share the looty that he gets from this thirutu business so has decided that he will do this business all by himself. Thillu Mullu hears this and swears revenge.

Giri comes in with another guy and Adhi is seen playing billiards with who else but Rekha! Giri introduces the other guy as a broker who wants to sell 10 flats very close to Rajamani's site. Adhi wants to buy them all and instructs Giri to pay 5 lakhs as advance. Giri proudly says how the guy wanted to sell the flats to Abhi but he cleverly lured him away so he could make his offer to Adhi. Adhi then gets a brilliant idea (!) to get Abhi in trouble. He asks the broker to sell the flats to Abhi. Abhi would buy it but Adhi would not let her complete the job as he will create an issue in the site by bribing some flat owners. Giri is doubtful if the plan would succeed but Adhi says that Abhi is now facing problems at her own office with her tussle with Thols and that with Bhaskar's help he would be able to create problems for Abhi….

Thodarum…

Update for Thursday July 20th

Rajesh comes to Abhi's home with his friend. He hesitates at the entrance but his friend urges him to go in. Rajesh walks in and Anu is all kush and welcomes him happily. Mano joins them and Anu goes off to get some coffee for Rajesh. As they chit chat Aarti comes in and taunts Rajesh asking if he was here to take someone for a drive in his auto or was he planning to be a witness to someone's marriage. Rajesh tries to ignore her but Aarti keeps going on and on. Rajesh at last says that he was here to invite the newlyweds for a virundhu and says that if Aarti could cook for them he would be happy to help in serving (What the??? Where did this come from?) Aarti says if she did so, Kala would start her polambal and she was tired of it all. Rajesh swears that nothing of that sort would happen (And pray, how can he say that, has he or anyone else for that matter managed to shut Kala up??) Aarti says that she has not had a minute's sandosham since her marriage to Rajesh and that she just wanted him to go back and live a happy, married life with Sundari. Anu joins them now with cups of coffee. Rajesh reiterates his invitation to Anu asking them to come for virundhu but Aarti says that they would not come. Anu as usual contradicts her but Aarti shuts her up. Aarti then kicks Rajesh out. Mano as usual takes up for Rajesh and confronts Aarti as to how she could behave that way; Aarti says that she has her pride even though it is obvious that Mano has none.

Next scene

Ganga is at her home shown rummaging through a cupboard only to find an empty bottle of beer. She goes after the culprit who else then her dear brother-in-law. BIL is seen talking to his wife demanding money and Uma is saying that she does not have any. Ganga confronts him with the beer bottle and he of course denies, saying it was not him. BIL then changes his tune saying how he drank to drown his sorrows and how if he had a job he would work sincerely, support his family, blah, blah, blah. Ganga of course does not believe him and walks away saying that if he was a sincere husband and a father he would do any menial job to support his family

Next scene

Abhi is seen talking to another guy demanding that the job be finished by this week. The guy tries to explain there might be a delay but she fires back saying that he either delivers or she would find someone else for the job. This paavam fellow agrees and goes away. Krishnan Sir walks in and Abhi asks where Bhaskar is. Krishnan Sir very mournfully says that Bhaskar would not come in from now on (Amma periya loss idhu!! Ivar romba thaan feel pannaranga!!) He explains how Bhaskar went to ask "Nyayam" from Thols for going back to his promise on marrying Anandhi and how Thols was so furious he beat Bhaskar up along with his goonda friends Maari and gang. Abhi looks grim and we now shift to the next scene

Abhi's house

Chitti is there as usual consoling a heartbroken Karpagam, this time about the demise of Anandhi's and Thols union. Chitti then tells Karpagam she is here to invite Mano and Aarti to her home for virundhu. Chitti tells Anu that Chittappa wants them to come to their home for a virundhu and invites both Mano and Anu and then leaves. Anu walks away along with Mano and tells Mano that she would not go to Chitti's house. Now our resident eavesdropper Aarti walks in and asks Anu why she was refusing the invitation. Anu retorts saying that when Rajesh Anna issued the same invitation Aarti was against it so why did she want them to go to Chitti's house. Aarti says that Rajesh is not Anu's real Anna and if her brother Adhi came and invited Anu & Mano to his house (Yeah! I can see that happening!) she was free to go. Mano as usual butts in and they start fighting again. Karpagam shuts Aarti up and tells Anu that chitti has been a big help for their family and leaves the choice to them as to whether they want to go or not.

Abhi at Bhaskar's house

Abhi walks in with Krishnan Sir and Alamelu as usual starts off saying that Abhi is the one who has given Thols so much freedom and that is why Thols is behaving in such a high-handed manner. Bhaskar tells Abhi how he wanted to help her and that is why he went to Thols and asked him why he was refusing to marry Anandhi. He tells Abhi that since she has helped him so much he wanted to return the favour (With friends like these who needs enemies!!) He says that nowadays Thols does not behave properly to which Krishnan Sir agrees and that just because Bhaskar was drunk Thols had no right to beat him up along with his goonda gang Mari. Vidya now comes in with coffee for them all(What is it with this serial and coffee...) Alamelu goes inside and Abhi goes up to her dearly departed FIL's photo and is seen looking at him….

Thodarum..

Friday July 21

Ganga and Uma walking and Uma and Ganga having some inane conversation (Probably something which was important, wouldn't know as I tune out when I see Ganga on the screen! If someone knows please fill in)

An elderly man is shown trying to load a heavy bag on his tricycle. Uma's husband is walking by and the elderly man asks him for help. Uma's husband refuses, listing his sterling qualities to this elderly man and basically saying that he is too good for this kind of menial work. He sees Uma and Ganga approaching, does an about turn he takes off his cooling glasses and shirt to the elderly man, grabs his bag and proceeds to load them. Ganga looks at him with suspicion. Uma gets all emotional wanting to know why her dear husband is doing such a lowly job. Hubby responds saying that no one will give him a respectable job at an office and he has to resort to such jobs to support his family. Ganga is unsure if he is sincere and walks away. Hubby says that if Ganga wants he can get a job in his office, the good wife says that she will talk to Ganga and persuade her to find him a job.

Interrogation of Thols

Abhi, Bhaskar, Thols and Krishnan Sir in Abhi's office. Abhi wants to know about the fight between Thols and Bhaskar. Thols says that he does not want to discuss it further. Abhi pushes him further and Thols says that Bhaskar demeaned him and so he reacted that way. Abhi questions the presence of Maari & Gang. Krishnan Sir says that they were now employees of Abhi Constructions. Abhi is shocked and tells Thols that they should not be here and if people found that Abhi Constructions was hiring rowdies then her name will be ruined. Thols says that Maari & gang were only protecting him as people were behaving like animals. Bhaskar immediately jumps up and they get into another argument. Abhi decides not to go any further with her questions and drops the matter.

Guru's house (Guru is Rajesh's friend)

Alamelu, Rajesh and Vidya all in Guru's house. Guru's mother is thanking Alamelu for her help in the ponnu pakkara ceremony for her daughter. Vidya and Sundari are helping the girl get dressed.

The bridegroom party arrives. After some introductions and small talk the girl comes in with Vidya and Sundari. Alamelu asks the groom to take a good look at the girl. After a lot of staring from the groom the guy says he likes the girl next to the bride (i.e Vidya) The girl's mother starts yelling saying at the groom while Alamelu proudly says that they are from a very good family. Guru's mother decides to get nasty now and says how the whole town knows that Vidya and a boy are seen together all over the place. Alamelu is now furious and rants and raves. Guru's mother kicks the bridegroom party out of the house.

Vidya runs home in tears, locks herself in a room and starts tying a knot with a saree around her neck (obviously trying to hang herself) Alamelu is pounding on the door and Bhaskar and Krishnan Sir come in. Bhaskar is shown knocking at the door yelling at Vidya to open it. Last shot is of Vidya's feet at the edge of the stool….
