learns that she is the subject of the discussion, spread her saucers
and does...what else??? a few vik vik s and sheds enough tears
to wet Tilaga's sari😳 Megs is furious na na tries to show her
anger and she realizes that it is impossible to show the
expression with out the help of her dancing hands - throws
her hands in the same usual manner ( what is amazing is that
she has those template movements of her hands, does not
believe in making slight variations!!! same movements that
we have been seeing from the beginning!!) shouts at athai -
" 43 yrs old man for our beautiful Kannu?? are u mad??? I
know how to take care of my siblings. U need not interfere.
If u can just keep your mouth shut and stay..." Tilaga stops
Megs from saying what she wanted to. Paatti drags Megs in
who in turn drags Kannu in.... athai is lost in thoughts...

handing over to the owners is scheduled for the 28th. He
promises to ask those 3 trouble makers -" if any of them
are willing to sell, i can call u"- Thyagu's man wants to see
the house and thatha sends him in. Just then the 2 brothers
come to meet Megs. They apologize for all the trouble given
by the 3 of them and want to take possession of the house
after paying the rest of the money. They praise Megs to the
skies and thatha is overjoyed to hear Megs puranam. Thyagu's
man comes out and the two bros recognize him -" hey, nee Durai thaane?? Thyagu's man?" Thatha is worried but Durai is quick
to alley the fears " aama . I was working for Thyagu but when
I saw the way Megs was treated by him, I got totally dejected.
Wanted to mend my ways and left Thyagu then and there. Now,
I am a real estate broker and I came here for a client. Thatha
is in the north pole - no igloo, just plain sheets of ice😳 -
"Megala vaale thirunthiningalaa??besh besh" The bros

mutton" - Padmini comes running behind - "ayyo, kerosene
ai kudunga, gas illai, ithuvum illaatta no lunch" All except Bhoo
are present and the usual "Danda family trade mark drama"
happens ( If Columbia ever wants to have a department on
family drama , they should appoint people trained in "Danda
school of drama"!!!😳 shouting, over reacting...the works..)
Danda says that the time he gave to Amgu is over and she is
not welcome in his house any more. " I may be a bad money
lender but with reg. to Angu, i was always a good hubby. After
all these years, she does not respect me and plays advocate for
Kannu's family??? That Megs and her mom have gone to Viji's
house and played rowdies!!! I do not want Angu any more" -
finally Padmini and Chandru pacify Danda saying that they will
bring Angu back . Danda warns that this is the last chance for
Angu. Even Tams is stunned to see daddy in such anger,begs
annan to bring back amma. Chandru and Padmini leave.

Sakthi, Diwa and PILs - Sakthi serves breakfast and Durga
stops her -" do not do any work, u rest, I will do every thing.
How about some carrot juice?" Both father and son share a
secret smile and the whole arena is happy. Sakthi is not happy
and is doing her family act - crying than, vera enna??😳 - Diwa
leaves and FIL wants to know why Sakthi has not started knitting
the sweater -"Diwa brought it specially for u to talk to the baby
and knit?" Finally, Sakthi spills the beans -" athai, maama please
grant me pardon from the noose, I lost the baby in an accident"
PILs are shocked and FIL manages to ask "eppo?" Sakthi says
that it happened 2 days back and she was scared to inform them -
" ennai adichu thorathiduvingannu bayam... I had so many dreams
about this baby...vu vu vu" A shocked, stunned Durga finds her
tongue -"Diwaaaaa ennada ithu?" yes.... Diwa is listening with
a steely face.... Sakthi is shocked/scared...... Diwas approaches

menacingly...... Sakthi frets...... Diwa shouts...... "abortion aa???
so, nee ninaicha mathiri seythuttiya?" FIL is shocked beyond words
and MIL screams - " u ran away on the eve of your marriage from the
wedding hall!!! never bothered about your parents and siblings!!! You
were talking about aborting this baby all the while and I am sure you
have enough guts to do it" Diwa also suspects that Sakthi did it on
purpose. Sakthi tries to explain that it was an accident but no one is
ready to believe her - she appeals to her FIL who always reasons out
but even he does not believe her. Diwa necks her out and says that he
will never ever trust her. Sakthi is pushed out of the house and falls
on the road..... hhwkk Sakthi gets up from her bed..yup, it was all
a dream!!! Diwa immediately gets up and brings some water. Sakthi
is touched by his concern, tells him that she had a nightmare -"Diwa,
nee ennai adichitte, Diwa" - Diwa pacifies her "che nan poi unnai adippena?? athuvum, u are pregnant now!!! Onnum illai, summa paduthu thoongu" Sakthi again tries to tell him about the abortion but he makes her lie down..Sakthi is fretting again "ayyo, how will I get out of this situation?"

Loosumani is giving medicines to Angu - Angu does not like to swallow so many tablets and loosu says that if the surgery could be done, she can do away with all the tablets. Padmini and Chandru arrive. Chandru is diplomatic - enquires about Kannu and Angu. Angu makes an acidic
remark about son visiting sick mom. Chandru says that the moment he came to know about her, he doubled up to see her. Both Padmini and
Chandru want Angu to get back home and get proper treatment. Angu gives an angry stare -" Bhoo, Tams and your dad want to spoil Kannu's life by bringing in another DIL into the house, do u think that it is right??"( ayyoo, Bhoo voda irukkarathu thaan punishment loosu kku, Angu, un son apdinna avan epdi ya patta moron nnu un kannukku theriyalaiyaa??? romba than thai pasam, nee nijamma Kannu kku nallathu pannanum nna ask her to sign the divorce paper, enge?? u are worried about correcting the moron, u have no care for Kannu)
Chandru agrees that it is not right but also points out that no one can make Bhoo accept Kannu -" antha kudigaran kitte yaarpesarathu???'
Padmini tells Kannu that living with a loveless hubby is living in hell and why can't Kannu divorce him?( hmmm , ithaan Roja eppovume solra, yaaranum ketta thane?? athai solra mathiri oru old man ai kalyanam panninda kooda, avan romba aasaiya wife ai vaichuppan, hmmmm) Now Kannu asks a very wise(???!!!) Q -"akka, nijamma
sollunga, unga BIL ennai thalli vaikkarathu sariya?" ( loosu loosu, thappichu po nnu sonna kooda understand panna mudiyaatha jenamam,
unnai thirutha ve mudiyaathu!!!) Angu now wants to know why Padminii took Chandru away for a thanikudithanam. Padmini takes this opportunity and blames Tams -" vaaya athu??? enna pechu pesara? ava pechu kettu maama and Bhoo also talk rubbish, athan poitten. Konjam kooda nyayam illathavanga antha 3 per" Now Angu points out that those 3 morons are now all set to spoil Kannu's life. Padmini changes sides and supports Angu and Kannu whole heartedly. Chandru is surprised at the sudden bulti but Padmini says that only now she has a clear idea of what should be done. Promises Kannu and Angu that she will some how stop Bhoo's second marriage , pulls hubby out and leaves.

Thyagu brings some one - a bomb specialist - to blow up the houses
of Megs. The fellow boasts about his precision in bombing and his
track records. Thyagu makes a funny remark -"romba pesarane!!! enemy kku bomb vaichu kolai pannu van and kooda irukkaravangalai pesiye konnuduvaan pole.." The detonating expert(??!!) wants to go in to the house -"appo thaan asses panna mudiyum, how much of material is required nnu" Durai is sent to show him the house. Thatha sees him and tells him that there is no house left for sale but Durai wants to show the house to the "detonator kuchi"(DK) -"ivar periya interior decorator, na namba houses pathi aha oho nnu praise panninen, athaannn...pakkalama?" Thatha is pleased to hear the certificate and
takes them around for a house tour -"ellam marble, high quality wood..." DK is pleased to have found the spot for placing the ammunition.... discusses with Durai about his find.....

But thatha goes in and picks the plastic tray....Watchman tries to stop thatha

Megs being Megs..is smart😳 -" na poi thatha vai kottitu varen paatti" Paati has the LAST?? laugh -"thatha enna chinna pappa vaa? avare vanthuduvaar" Megs is fretting but Kirtana jokes "paatti romba azhagaa irukkanga illai akka? nalaikki wedding day..."

Finally he throws the bomb and Megs asks him to run back to her.... after some more seconds ticking..booooooommmmmmm bomb blasts..... Megs "thathhhhaaaaaaaa" ........ ( povomaa Sivalogam..

The oppari is sung by a group and gets recorded - kalyaana veet le cine
songs kathu kizhiyara mathiri play pannuvannga illai, athu mathiri oppari cassette is played - fortunately in a slightly low volume!!! So, when Tilaga and clan round kattufies, they can have a relief if their throats become hoarse😳😳 - Sakthi comes with her baggage Diwa and PILs. " thathaaaa..... yen da avarai antha nerathile anuppininga??? vera yaaravathu poga koodathaa??" goes to paatti and cries on her shoulders. Paatti is in hahaha land - talks to thatha - "seekiram vaanga, ellam ungalukku pidicha samaiyal, rendu perum sernthu sappidalam, Sakthi, thatha kku phone panni varum pothu gingely oil vaangittu vara sollu" - yessss paatti has gone nuts ( sari paatti yai ethukku vittu vaichaar Vikramathithyan??? athuvum ipdi oru loony bin aa??? - Unthan nenjil neengatha yennam ennanna??? thatha -paatti story il innum ennanna - BG by Roja) Kannu apprises the situation to Sakthi - " she has been talking like this from last night vu vu " Sezhi
does not join the round katti - prefers to sulk alone. Diwa's dad is on his usual mode - advise ( intha manushan advise panniye kolai panniduvaar!!!) - "now that thatha is off this serial, u are the man of the house, u need to take care of your sisters..." ( wait until Megs hears this - "it is me who makes the earth rotate , enna maranthuttingalaa??
Megs dialogue by RTDW) Mesthry has enough money to make all arrangements - body is yet to come. Angu, Amutha and Sara are there as well. Amutha informs Angu that Bhoo's wedding is fixed for today as well. (intha amma kku spy yaaru??? Danda has not told even Viji!!! Pechi thaan Naradar aa???)Amutha advises Angu to go and appeal to Danda's human side - "if he comes to know about this, he will stop the wedding" Angu decides to give it a try.

Danda's house - all are getting ready for the wedding - Tams is struggling with a perfume dispenser - she wants to smell like lotus
but forgets to open the bottle!!! Pechi points out her mistake, opens the bottle and douses himself with some perfume ( awwww, ithu thaan santhadi sakkil sinthu paadarathaa???😳) Angu comes and the clan misconstrues her visit -" vaa Angu, new sari vaangi yirukku katti kittu wedding polaam" Angu says that she has come from a "dukka veedu"
- "Kannu's thatha deemed it fit to grace Sivalogam..bomb blast... (antha plastic tray ai vida maattennu pidichaa....) now let us all go and join the round katti, stop the wedding" Danda says that he does not have any relation with that family - " do we stop our celebrations just because we see some one dead on the street?" - Angu says that right now, Kannu and co can not even fight the wedding!!! ( amma di, have u pawned your brain for the bye pass surgery??? yaaru panam kuduthaa??) Danda has a smile -" exactly my sentiments, baby, now the wedding can happen peacefully" - Angu starts to curse the clan but Sara reminds her that it is getting late for round katti -( if we do not go, we will miss out on that , round kattarathu is the primary pastime of Kalai's clan, athai poi miss panna laama periamma??) They leave.

Back to Tilaga's - body has come. Needs to be cremated asap because of the decomposed condition. Athai is just sitting near the body (looks like she is also a bystander like us!!! Her face changes a little when paatti goes on talking to her dead hubby - ayya sapida vaanga, amma koopidaraanga - BG by Roja) Sezhi is unable to take a decision and so Diwa goes to Megs - she is sitting in a corner and recalling all of thatha's dialogues. She gets up , asks mesthry to collect all the customers and.... delivers her speech -"thanks to all of u for sharing our grief... ippo we will cremate him soon, once that is done all of u will get your house keys today.itself.. .." All around her look shocked.......
athai is ready for a tirade .(ellam ore ba ba black sheep crowd, nalla kaalam bomb le buildings blast aagalai, odane hand over pannitta, the responsibility will be theirs, even if another bomb is planted....

Episode No 241 Thursday 15/5/08

Megs thanking the customers for all their homage to thatha -" I will hand over the keys to u all as planned, in an hour" - The customers apologize to Megs for being rash with her about the houses -" we now know that your family is honest and will keep up the promise irrespective of all your inconveniences. There is no hurry about the houses, finish all the rituals and then do it at leisure" Megs says that it is her thatha's dream that the houses should be handed over today and it will be done - whatever it costs -"That is the tribute that I can pay to my thatha and so please take over today" Requests Diwahar, his dad, mesthry and Anitha to help her out in that task - all pledge support and thatha leaves -(Roja applied some castor oil in her eyes and was looking out in the crowd of 30 people -thatha oru orama ninnu funeral procession ai pakkararaa??? sirichi kitte?? Habba ... unga round katti inime is not my problem, I am all set for the next serial😳) One of Thyagu's men go around the crowd at Megs and watches all this - first hand report to Thyagu????

Thyagu at his terrace - asks his crony about shifting his wife and pappa to the farm house - Crony replies in affirmative and says that pappa was not very happy. Thyagu says that he had no choice -"if the police come here and take me , she will be more upset". Just then Thyagu's advocate comes and says that Thyagu's name is linked with the bomb blast. Thyagu is upset that thatha has been made in to a martyr and
that the buildings escaped the attack -"spent so much money for getting thatha on to the pedestal??hmmmm" The advocate says that
this is good as well -" only now Megs will know the true Thyagu!! her thatha got killed and she will be worried about the rest in her family, she won't open her mouth" An elated Thyagu pats his advocate and bingooo the phone rings...the crony who was in Megs ' house watching her "handing over keys" speech is on the other side. He deflates Thyagu's ego - "anne, Megs has become braver now, plans to hand over the keys to the owners as promised...today.. in an hour" Thyagu barks in the mobile "oru paya key vaanga maattan da..." Tells a puzzled advocate that Megs wants more death in her family..

Angu and Sara in the women' s police station. Angu says that her son plans to marry a second girl while the first wife is still alive and kicking.
The inspector can not believe that a MIL is standing behind her DIL -
"athu enna unga annan ponna??" Angu says that Kannu is not related to her before the wedding but she is a very nice girl. She seeks help to stop the wedding and the astonished inspector agrees - "Murugan koil le thaan kalyanam " ( athu epdi unakku theriyum??? pooohhhh Danda secrecy kku ivvalavu thaan credit??? 😳) Angu leads, Sara and inspector follow.

House keys handing over - kanakku pillai does a pooja for the keys and all set to hand over. The customers once again tell Diwa's father that there is no hurry but he confirms that it is to appease thatha's athma - " innikki than keys kudukkanum, illatta he may come back half way!!!" As Anitha opens her mouth to read the name of theowner of flat no 1, some phone rings - one of the customers gets a call from Thyagu's men -"veetu savi vaangine, magane , bomb vaichu blast panniduvom" All hell breaks loose and almost all the customers get similar calls - "bomb, water le poison mixing..." some get scared and want the money back but one senior guy supports Megs -"panamaa?? avanga veedu finish panni keys kudukka poraanga?? apram epdi panam keppinga??? we will all protest against this Thyagu." Another guy gets motivated by this and says that all can get together and
stage a strike on the road -" we will demand that Thyagu should be arrested, will stone a few buses until the police take action..." Some wise guy says that no police station will help in this "I have some one in the commissioner's office and we will go directly there" All agree in unison. Diwa says that he also has some one in C's office and promises to support the customers -" Megs is not alone now, we, the family will help her. let us all go to C's office. Before that , let us inform Megs. All
leave as a group - keys are with mesthry.

Angu Sara and Inspector - rushing in to the temple. Bhoo is sitting with a garland and Viji - in the same order ( Roja felt that he looked like a sacrificial goat😳😳. Viji yai marry panni nee padara paattai parthu rasikka oru gumbal inge wait panrathu..ayyo Angu konjam late aa poyen...Roja prays .... on the floor.... on her knees😳) Danda, Tams and Viji's parents look happy....... Sastrigal is still chanting and busy
feeding the homam fire with ghee...Bhoo is elated..... Angu is rushing in... ( Roja has decided to pray extra - swamy bhagavane intha kalyanam nadakkanum...... appo thaan Bhoo kku irukku diwali/pongal celebrations... intha azhugai serial le engalukku comic relief athu thaan...please please swamy......)
