Update for Friday, Dec 31, 2010:
eclat, I am going to give you a break. This is a brief update because, as already explained, this is a short window of time, after lunch, before the next meal is prepared.
I apologize, folks! I haven't even come near the computer until now - Jan 2, 7:26 p.m, and there is still a load of dishes to be done, and the kitchen to be cleaned. Tomorrow, I have to find and rearrange everything in the kitchen and pantry, since everyone has put away stuff wherever they found an empty spot!
Prem is furious, thinking about Shree and her upcoming engagement. He looks at the pictures he got someone to take when Shree cut the ribbon for his new office. Dad and mom, along with the guy from Dubai, come in, want to know why he is looking so glum. He tells them about Shree being girl looked (peNN paarkaradhu) by Karthik, mom says there are plenty of girls, including one in her own family, dad pooh poohs that offer, Prem leaves in disgust, dad looks at the photos in his room and gets an idea.
Shree is ready to go to work, mom and dad want her to stay home since the girl seeing ceremony is that evening, she says she will return early, but they insist. Mom says they have to go somewhere first, so she reluctantly agrees.
Palli is asking her dad to fix a date for the marriage, and dad points out that the girl seeing ceremony is not over yet (
good point, what if the girl is sensible and asks what job this boy is doing? Velai illai paiyanukku, she is busy fixing a date for his wedding, mudhalle avanukku oru velai paNNa arrange paNNu! Beats me how they can even look for a wedding proposal for an idle, jobless guy, and the girl's parents don't even ask that important question! On the other hand, when did these serials ever have any sense?) Dad comes up with two dates, she rejects one because it is a weekday, and decides on the second, because it is a Sunday.
Just you wait, Palli, you will go there and start screaming because the girl is Shree!Ganesh and AAR in RR's office, he congratulates Ganesh for getting the Bangalore proposal -
and the man knows nothing about building construction! Heaven help the company for whom he is building the office! AAR comes up with the first wrinkle in RR's plan, she says she cannot move to Bangalore, so she will remain in the house here. Just then the phone rings, it says Home, but RR switches it off. AAR has already looked at the phone, seen that the ID said it was from home
(yes, yes, we are shameless and look at the ID on other people's phones and then talk about naagareegam and culture and brag about our foreign background!), asks RR why he didn't answer the call from Anu, he mazhuppufies, saying it is from some anaadhai home which is asking for donations. (
Let me guess here, AAR will mention the call to Anu, she will say that she did not call, then AAR will put two and two together, and then she will try to get the phone from RR and track the number down! All this is fine, just do this quickly, don't take six months to do it, okay?) After they leave, the phone rings again, it is Palli, reminding him to come for the girl seeing ceremony at 3:30 this afternoon.
Paati and Balu - he wants to return to the village, she asks him to stay till his wife is cured, he says she doesn't seem to be getting better, rather, it looks like she is driving everyone else crazy. Paati says their staying with her has helped her and been a big support for her since she has been lonely all these days. She consoles Balu, saying that their daughter will herself come looking for them.
Shree, her parents and brother get down from a car.
Thodarum ...
