Update for Thursday 27th July 2006

Rajamani, Abhi, Thols and Ganga are in a meeting and Bhaskar and stepney Krishnan come in. Bhaskar recommends them to buy the sites for which he gets commission and lists some points in favour of his argument. Abhi consults with Thols as to what his opinion is, Thols says that he in his opinion they do not need to take on this additional commitment at this moment in time. Bhaskar knowingly replies that he knew Thols would react this way as he was the one who had this idea and that Thols would not like anything that Bhaskar says. Abhi shushes him up and Thols says that at this moment their priority should be Rajamani Madam's construction and that they did not need any other distraction at this stage. He says that an additional project is a risk now that they should not take. Rajamani says that risk is something that comes hand in hand with any project and that just because of a fear to take any risk we should not let opportunities go out of our hand. She also supports Bhaskar saying that she thinks Thols does not want to take this project on as it was suggested by Bhaskar. Rajamani encourages them to take up this project. Thols is annoyed and walks out. Bhaskar and Krishnan are elated. (Really isn't this getting a bit too much? Why can't someone knock Thols and Bhaskar's head together and straighten them out!! Very annoying seeing this happen in every episode)

Naming ceremony for Usha's and Aadhi's child

Usha and Patti are going downstairs where the entire family is waiting. Of course Rekha and her evil appan are also there. There is some discussion and suggestions thrown around by Patti and Arjun about the child's name but Usha is not happy with any of them.

Easwaran asks Usha's parents if they have any suggestions. Someone asks Usha's dad for his fathers name and he says Balasubramaniam. Our ever-helpful minister pipes in and asks him to tell the name of Usha's real father's father. At this Usha and her parents are enraged and now we see glimpses of the old Usha (not the sati savithri that she has been of late! Thank God the girl has found some of her spine!) Usha asks the minister if he has no decency at all and doesn't he know when he should say what? Adhi as usual yells at her but she just steamrolls ahead. Gujju mami asks her to be respectful to which Usha retorts that they were all her family and anything they say she will put up with it but she does not have to take any nonsense from a total stranger (At this point I was going go girl!) She asks him to stop calling Adhi his mapillai, if his daughter was not married to Adhi how does Adhi become his mapillai? She goes on to say how she was putting up with a lot of hardship in Adhi's family but Adhi was treating Rekha like she was the daughter in law of the family and not her. Rekha and minister march out angrily and so does Gujju mami, Adhi and Giri.

Usha is consoled by Easwaran, Patti and her parents. They urge her to chose a name for the baby and proceed with the ceremony. Usha recalls a conversation with Abhi where she had mentioned that she liked the name "Kailash". She decides to name her son "Kailash". Adhi comes down and is fuming that they have named his child without his presence

Next scene – Construction site

Supervisor is ordering the workers around. Thols comes in and chit chats with the supervisor. He notices Maari and gang working and asks the supervisor why he had not fired them as he had said earlier. Supervisor says he did not know that Thols was serious. Thols gets angry and orders him to do as he says and send Maari and his friend's home.

Thols is walking away and Bhaskar and Krishnan show up. They size each other up in the meantime an elderly man walks by with some planks of wood and brushes Bhaskar with them by mistake. Bhaskar gets wild and almost hits the old man. Another person comes up and asks Bhaskar why he was at the site. Bhaskar goes off at him too saying he had a right to be here and who was he to question him. This guy innocently says that Thols was in charge. Poduma, Bhaskar now turns on Thols and they start fighting. Thols asks Bhaskar to stop coming to the site and Bhaskar asks who Thols was to give him such orders. Thols says he was a partner in the company and had a right to tell him. Bhaskar challenges him saying what will you do if I refuse to leave, Thols says that he will physically throw him out. They now use their fists and start a physical fight. Everyone is watching and realising this Thols walks away.

While all this was happening, supervisor goes to Maari and tells him that Thols wants them gone. Maari and gang start packing up to leave and someone accidentally knocks over a metal plank. The plank hits the ground and surprise surprise! Almost hits Bhaskar and Krishnan. Delusional Bhaskar looks up and screams at Maari if Thols had asked them to kill him…

Update for Friday 28th July 2006

Maari and his gang are being taken away by the police. Bhaskar is talking to the supervisor and the supervisor says that it was an accident and no one planned this. Bhaskar is furious and yelling at the supervisor and Abhi comes in. Bhaskar starts to explain, Krishnan butts in and explains the whole situation, Bhaskar and Thols had an argument, both got into a physical altercation and how Krishnan had to intervene to stop them both. Bhaskar tells Abhi that Thols wants to finish him off and Maari and Gang protest their innocence to Abhi. Abhi calls Thols and asks him to come to the site immediately. Thols comes and Abhi demands that Maari and gang are thrown out immediately. Abhi asks Bhaskar how dare you lodge a complaint to the police without consulting me, Bhaskar retorts that he values his life and so had lodged a complaint. Abhi asks Bhaskar to take back his complaint and he does so. Policeman however says that until he comes to the police station and formally withdraws his complaint, he will hold Maari and gang in custody.

Rekha and minister in conversation. Rekha is angry and upset at Usha for treating her and Minister in such a bad way. Adhi overhears the conversation and tries to pacify Usha. He tells her that so far he has never been in a partnership with anyone however he has one with Rekha as he has a special place for her in his heart. Rekha is not taken in by his explanations and asks him to leave. Minister scolds her for turning Adhi away. Minister tells her how he can line up very eligible men for her if she only says yes. Rekha says that she wants to go as a daughter-in-law to Adhi's house. Since Adhi is now married she will now settle for Arjun the younger son. Minister is doubtful if Arjun will be a good match but Rekha is adamant.

Thols is at his home and Shanti wants to know why he is so quiet. Thols does not answer and by then Maari and gang, walk in. They ask Thols why he did not support them when Abhi wanted to throw them out. Thols says that the situation was such that he could not do anything. He assures them that he still values them a lot and would get them another job. Maari and gang say how they were goondas but have now turned into good human beings and this is all only because of Thols. They say that Abhi is not a good person. Thols is enraged and slaps Maari. Everyone is shocked and Maari goes away saying that Thols will have to pay for this slap. Shanti further interrogates Thols on his behaviour and he asks her to leave him alone.

Abhi and Karpagam talking. Abhi is telling Karpagam about the latest incident with Thols and Karpagam is saying that she can't believe that Thols has changed so much. Anandhi walks in and Abhi gently tries to break the news to her that Thols has refused to marry her. Anandhi says that she was the one who had told Thols that she had doubts about the marriage and that she did not want to marry him anymore. Abhi does not believe her and says that she is saying this only to mask her disappointment. Abhi tells her that Thols is now a changed man and she sees a lot of jealousy and insecurity in him. Anandhi defends Thols saying that he is a good person and that as evil has walked in the good has walked out. She says Bhaskar is now in and so Thols is being phased out because of Bhaskar's evil ways. Abhi still insists that Thols is not the good person he was and Karpagam yells at both of them to stop….

July 31, 2006 - Monday updt

chithappu chithappu, don't worry chithappu, kaalam un thOzhan chithappu
day by day, day by day, business payaNam thodarattum, moozhgaadha fishE selfish nee.

Chithappu comes in with a red file...(borrowed from abhi constructions) and calls out for his Satish. Loser boy comes out and dad tells him he has a wonderful plan and how it is easier if they do the business themselves. No doubt the others were knowledgeable but Chithappu now knows the intricacies...and so will make crores in one shot. And he has also found legal loopholes if need be. A concerned Chandra and chithi are observing this monologue with worry. Now Chandra bursts out and tells mama that this wont do. She will not allow her husband to be led astray by him. neenga enna vEnumnaa paNNunga, kettu kutti chuvaraa pOnga..but leave my husband alone. Chithappu says but he is my son first...Chandra says that may be so but he also is a husband and dad..and he has to do his duty to them. She again reiterates that chithappu can go to h*** as far as she is concerned but not to involve her husband. Chithappu implores to son who goes with a raised hand. Chandra says beat me, but I will still not allow you to do this fraud business. Chithappu gives a paLaar to her. and chithi is shocked. She comes and asks how he can hit his DIL and he tells her let Chandra remember how she came into this house, pretending she was pregnant and Thols supported her. (what is this new story? she did not pretend. she was pregnant, wasn't she?) Chandra says, so what? now you cannot corrupt your son like this. Chithappu warns them that he will kill them if they interfere and takes his son away inside.

A hotel hall - what is with this Adhi's family? they always play good cop, bad cop. He and Kanchu tolerate Usha and kid and then they smile, and then they show their uggggggly face. Apparently, Rekha, who had missed the baby's naming ceremony had arranged for a function for the baby...wherein the said baby Kailash, is perched on Usha's hips, with Adhi standing by....and this fact is told by Adhi to his guests. Why shd Rekha throw a party and why shd this Usha come to it? oru vevasthai ketta kudumbam. All other family members are in their finery. Arjun sneaks a spoon ful of bhel puri from his paatti's plate. (saapadra scene-kku correctaa vandhuduvaa indha keyavi...mathapadi Usha saramaariyaa vaangumbOdhu, aaL ambEl).

Getting back to party mode - Rekha is sulking in a corner...(btw, indha American culture copying mOgam thalai virithaadugiradhu..ippO thalai varai vandhu vittadhu. Rekha, imagine, was sporting a hairstyle typical of African Americans...izhuthu vaari with tributaries running from the top of her head into way deep into the back...) and Adhi walks up to her and thanks her for arranging this function. She says she feels bad abt him missing the function at his house. He again states that he is very lucky to have her as a partner (business), a status he has never accorded to anyone else so far. And asks what can he do in return for this nice gesture? he also feels bad that he left at the altar..and promises his help. Rekha asks if Adhi would help her...and she needs favours. He says, utharavu idungal (not L) and she says when the time is right, he has to do as per her wishes. Usha is watching with green eyes. dad dear comes to her..She says come what may, he has to talk to Eashwar and arrange for her marriage with Arjun.. she needs to go as a DIL into that house. He says ok, he will lay the foundation. Meanwhile, Eashwar calls minister to come meet one of his judge friend. who is apparently a very honest and a correct public servant. Minister oLarufies as to how he is happy to have become the friend of that man...Adhi is asked the kid's name and he mouths Kailash...so it is official. Kanchu and Anjali are smiling in one corner. (ok, they all heard Usha's outburst the other day against this minister. now why would Eashwar call him to introduce him to the judge? edhukku importance kudukkaNum? maybe he is secretly ok and wishes that Adhi follows in his footsteps. oru wife aachu. so second -Rekha?)

The minister goes to talk to Eashwar and calls him aside when the judge calls for everyone's attention and says, he has high regard for Eashwar's family and would like to give his daughter's (BE) hand in marriage to Arjun. tadaing............Rekha's already long face becomes longer...minister is shocked. Judge says it was not right to blurt this out in open but his wife wanted him to ask this..and he would very much like to have this alliance. Adhi, Kanchu, Paati the whole gang is all wearing proud smiles...paavam judge..he cannot apparently judge people..wait until his daughter comes in..then he will know abt the cheating dad, short-fuse-sometimes-crazy Adhi (with just 16 teeth - bhaaki 16 pallai romba azhuthi kadichadhaala pOyE pOchu), useless Arjun whose only firm terminology is bhaiyaa, altop anjali and magician Paati who does the disappearing act too often to consider her a regular in that household.

Eashwar asks Arjun who nods a shy yes, and Eashwar says he is honored and they will meet in each other's houses to talk further about this and says judge's daughter is a very well brought up girl and they are indeed lucky. Minister comes to Rekha and says, ennamma ippadi aachu? and she says, i know, i did not expect this. but do whatever is necessary but I have to go as DIL to their house. Minister is thoughtful. (Arjun kidaikkalainaa, how will Eashwar look as his prospective SIL? is running thru' his head..)

all, hold your collective sighs....In walks Maddy...but he sure looks awful...if truth be told, (otherwise my head will explode into thousand pieces), he looked a prospective candidate for therukkoothu nadagams...especially one with Lord Shiva..and he ran away in the middle of his make-up session...his hair dressing fit perfectly...his blue sleeveless shirt with biceps bulging, a very chunky necklace on his bulky neck, a bracelet adorning this Adonis's hand, earring...on one side..he looked a sight. My 9 yr old son, asked me, Mom, who is this lady with muscles? poor fellow, he doesn't understand that there are girls out there, waiting for one glimpse of this female Schwarzenegger.

Anjali spots him, mouths why he is here, he says he has to talk to her urgently, she summons him inside where she is on a giggling round with her friends...he tells her that they have planned a trip to Pondicherry the next day..and all their friends gang are in it. she says, what to Pondy? he says, yes, they have planned all sort of fun activities...and asks her to come to their meeting place tomorrow. she says ok and tells him to leave before anyone sees him...But our James Bond Usha watches this interchange, though she cant hear a thing.

Anandhi is at Thols place and tells him Abhi is too dumb to listen to her explanations and thols tells her that things have changed and he is not in a position to say many things to Abhi but soozhnilai has acted against him. They even sent out Maari and gang who were helpful dealing with Adhi. and Abhi pays attention to Basker's words these days. and he has presented a doomsday proposal. Anandhi is concerned and says they have to talk to Abhi but Thols says, she is not ready for any explanations. Coffee maker also throws in the news abt Alamelu's verbal attack against Thols (he is a pombaLa porukki) and herself...which she cannot even say. Anandhi fumes against Alamelu and wants to confront them but Thols stops her.

some highway. camera zooms in on an white ambassador but no one special is in it. rather, we see Madman Maddy leaning against his Toyota SUV...waiting for Five rats. He calls up his trusted friend (a vadivelu look alike - vadivelu of yesteryears) and boasts that he has hit jackpot...and has targeted a bird..rich bird...in anjali..Adhi's sister. Young vadivelu knows of this and says will it work out? Maddy says, yes he has made all arrangements in the Gateway resort...and orders him to get the camera and other things setup and ready...to start rolling. Then they can extort Adhi for say, one crore..50 L each...

Anjali comes in an auto and asks for other friends. Maddy says they all left earlier, she climbs in the van, and then it is close-up time. (they shd use this scene as commercial for using close up and regular visits to dentists)..sorry friends, Maddy's teeth in closeup was a nightmarish sight...He spouts all garbage...abt how he respects girls, they shd be given equality in all, no submissive attitude, advocates female rights, his dream girl is one whom he will give all equal rights, why should men use women to satisfy their wishes? shouldn't women also have the same privilege? he believes in it and will treat his wife like that. and Five rats is slowly melting...and there is only one rat left....in this equality mazhai...She shoots 'you are awesome' looks at the Adonis...and has dreams in her eyes that makes her blind to the fact that he has crooked teeth and colorful teeth.
He gives sideways glances at her, enjoying her buying into all this nonsense talk...
while the van travels on.............

...................thodarum...........

P.S. - no, Usha is not following in an auto.....maybe Abhi will be at the Gateway resort for a high level conference with the new storekeepers association, led by our great Ramachandra PrabhO.....and then abhi will save Five rats...and Adonis will next target Abhi...now that Shivdas, Thols and Mahesh are out of the picture, she is in need of another follower....hey, maybe that is why she is trying in vain to look like a 20 yr old....
