Tues - mine?

Of course Eljay 😉Thanks, Roja!

Update for Tues, May 3, 2011: Episode No 56

Somebody is smoking a cigarette in the hospital. An orderly goes by, looks at him, he glares at the orderly and tells him to move on. Then his friend comes by, greets him, this is the guy, Sugumaran, who was dismissed by Rathy for stealing medicines (I think they have changed the actor, he looks like a younger person now, or else I have mixed him up with someone else in my mind!). Sugumaran says he is doing very well now, and he came to see his old friends and his girlfriend, Usha, who is a nurse here. He finally puts out the cigarette and goes to find his gf.

He finds Usha, goes and talks to her. She is afraid that Rathy may see them, but he says he doesn't care and holds her hand and talks to her. Perumal, the forgetful attender, comes there, hears them talking and sees them through the window. He goes back to Rathy's office and manages to tell her that Sugumaran is back. She is furious and goes to confront Sugumaran. He says she cannot stop him from coming there, a hospital is a public place, but she says he should behave with decency. He says she is a fine person to talk of decency, just because he came to see his girlfriend, when everyone knows about her and Dr. Naren, and this is something that has been going on for generations. Rathy is shocked, and he goes on to say that her father and Salima, the comatose nurse, had an affair and everyone knows about it. She is shocked into silence.

Rathy storms into her Periappa's office and asks him why they have been hiding this from her all along. He has no idea what she is talking about and after five more minutes of raving and ranting, she finally tells him that Sugumaran said her father had an affair with Salima. Periappa tells her that he didn't think she needed to know about some things, but since it was in the open, she should know about it and tells her.

Apparently, her father and Salima, along with Ethiraju (who is that?) were the people working for Shanti Nilayam, when it started as a small rented building. They worked night and day and brought it to a good condition in two years' time. Her father and Salima also found that they were in love with each other, but since they were of different religions, there was much opposition to their marriage, and finally, Salima herself talked Dr. Suresh into marrying Rathy's mother. He was back at work the day after his wedding, and told Salima he had found her a good job somewhere else, because he thought it wouldn't be proper for her to be working there after his marriage and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to handle himself (I think that is what he said). She begged him not to send her away and to let her stay on there.

Rathy is in tears at this point, but Periappa tells her there is more to come, and to reserve some tears for later.

Thodarum ...

Thursday - Roja

Monday 10/5/11 Archive's Copy Episode No 59

Continuation of Mohan Bharathy talking about Salima and Suresh - Rathi is awe struck -
calls them both "great" and tells periappa that she always had this doubt about her dad
holding back some misery - "always saw it in his eyes , but never asked him about it !!"
Mohan says that had Salima recovered, Suresh might still be alive"every day Suresh
used to go to her and tell her the day's events " - warns Rathi - "don't keep your mom in
the loop " . Rathi says that she did talk about Salima to her mom and " mom never doubts
dad. She admires and adores dad. I will not cloud her mind with all this " Hassina walks
in to Salima's room after a few good mornings here and there - only to find Arvind
standing near Salima's bed. Confrontation time - he directly accuses her of false
identity - " I know that you are Mahalakshmi ..but why this drama??? And this
woman who is in coma for the past 20 years is the obstacle for our marriage?? I am
going to tell the whole hospital that you are Maha , apram you can not visit Salima...
every one will call you a liar..." Hassina frets and asks " unakku ippO unmai theriyanum,
that is all, right?? Flash back time - Maha's mother is very sick and probably these will
be her last words. Tells Maha that that it is Salima who nurtured them " avanga mattum
salary ai namba kitte kudukkara mathiri arrange panna lai nna... we will be in the streets.
And your dad is a cad, avangalai ipdi aakkittan..we have to atone his sins..." Mahha is all ears.

Salima is in bed and Suresh comes to see her. Learns from the nurse that the family
has stopped visiting her. Calls Salima's brother Anwar and asks him about it. He is categorical - " I am not rich. I have to work my bones off for a living. My wife has decided
to ignore her. We neither have the time nor the money to nurse her." Suresh says that
Salima gave her salary to her bro's family ! Tat ...comes the reply from Anwar " oh yes,
she gave me the salary but I took care of all her needs . We are still the same poor
family but you started this hospital in a small room and now, where are you??? This
shows that who benefited by her toiling??!! And we also hear about what goes on here -
you and her - people talk , u see " Suresh gets angry and shows him the door - " don't come here, we know how to take care of Salima " Anwar is happy to hear this. Just then Maha walks in and asks permission to visit Salima - " whenever I can. My mom said that we owe Salima aunty much more !!!" Suresh is moved and tells Maha " inimel nee than paarthukkanum Salima vai.." Flashback over.

Arvind is moved by the story - Maha says that she gave herself the name Hassina -
" people in the hospital insulted me as I am Ethiraj's daughter , antha cad Oda daughter thaane iva nnu pesinaanga...athan intha name.." Arvind says that Maha's sacrifice is monumental. " I will convince my parents and we can marry " Maha says that until Salima gets up , she can not marry. " if you love me , you have to wait" Arvind has this valid Q " for how long??" This Q has no answer but Maha stands her ground. Arvind says that he needs time " but I love you and I need you " - leaves. Rathi hears (eavesdrops😉😉) and talks to Maha " I was mean to you without knowing the facts. Actually I should thank you - you have filled in for me. Ok, now, you go ahead and marry, I will take over this from you. Maha says that she does not want to be severed from salima - " you do your side and I will visit her everyday ..will wait for the day ...will marry only when she gets up..." Rathi holds Maha's hands - both women cry...

Freeze

Eljay's Tuesday- and what a Tuesday!

Update for Tuesday, May 10, 2011:

Sugumaran, the dismissed Store manager, complaining to Satya, the journalist, about Rathy and her throwing him out of the hospital and telling him he should not set foot on the premises. He is drunk and gets shooed by the owner of the house outside which he is sitting, so he and Surya move on. They stop outside another house and Sugumaran's raving goes on. He says he knows secrets about her and her father, which if published, will send Satya's fame soaring. Satya wants to know more, but he says Satya will goof up, just like he goofed on the kidney matter. Satya says he won't goof up, but Sugumaran clams up and doesn't say more and leaves.

Rathy is working and asks about her coffee. Right then, Perumal comes in with her coffee, and talks in his usual confused manner. She tells him to leave her coffee, he leaves something else, and she tells him to be more alert. When he leaves, another doctor comes in and drags him in and tells Rathy, either this Perumal leaves, or I do. Rathy asks him what the matter is, and he lists four times when this Perumal has created trouble.

Perumal goes and complains to Akash that he has been dismissed by Rathy because he overacted with the memory loss and the other doctor complained about him. Rathy has been listening to this as she was coming in. Perumal starts his acting again when he sees her but she tells him to stop acting. She takes Akash and Perumal to her Periappa and tells him about the two of them doing this spying. Akash says it is all for the good of the hospital, it was thanks to Perumal that they solved the kidnapping case, they found about Sugumaran's fraud, but Rathy is furious. Periappa calms her down, saying that Perumal is like a walking CC TV. She says okay, but if he goofs up again with the X rays or something like that, he will be watching TV at home.

Vicky is restless, waiting for someone. He tells his wife that he is expecting an important financier, Prem Kumar, and she should go to the puja room and ring the bell when he comes in. He is impressed with Vicky's story and has agreed to finance his film. Shyamala is not impressed, not even when Vicky says that this guy looks like a film star. Just then, the gates open and a car comes in, stops, a door opens and a young man gets out. He opens the door and another young man gets out - eye candy (drool drool!) - the financier! Vicky takes him inside, after telling him that the house is their own, and introduces him to mom and wife. Vicky is fawning all over him, and Prem Kumar is asking him about his other pieces of property - wonder why?

Rathy comes in, Vicky introduces her to the financier, who is thunderstruck (the song Adhisaya raagam is playing in the background). Prem Kumar is almost speechless and his eyes follow her as she leaves the room. Vicky seats him and proceeds to tell him the story he has in mind, and PK sits down, but he is not listening. He is watching Rathy as she moves from room to room (it helps that he is wearing dark glasses!), drinks some water, goes upstairs, then takes her phone and goes into the next room, and he is still watching her, not paying attention to Vicky. Hmmm, the man has fallen hard!

Srima, you are a sweet heart

Thursday 12^th May 2011

Ezhil in sms sending spree to Dr. Naren –' Good Morning my dear Idhyam specialist.' Naren suspects Rathi behind it. Goes to her room. To his dismay finds Rathi SMSing some one. Logical conclusion 2+2. Picks up her cell & scans thru it . Rathi points out his indecorous behaviour. Unperturbed Naren couldn't find what he is looking for , asks rathi whether she has purchased a new mobile phone or new sim card. Rathi negates , Naren doesn't believe , resolves to find out the truth very soon. Confused Rathi concludes nut loose for Naren. Seeing Naren leaving rathi's cabin in a jiffy , a mock smile simhasanam pottu sits on Ezhil's lips. Before he reached the end of the corridor , gets another SMS ' wouldn't you reciprocate the Good morning wish'. Again Naren runs back to rathi's cabin , again find her sending SMS. This time feels he has caught her red handed. Rathi is surprised to see him back. Naren keeps repeating 'seekrame kandu pidichuduven, vidamatten ,will not let others fool me. ' Rathi mutters ...bolt has really gone loose. Ezhil has the last laugh.

Sathya follows Hasina to her apartment, waits outside to find out her true colours...Hasina or Maha? After a while Hasina comes out sans her burka . Sathya's doubt cleared.

Dr . Naren working...another SMS from his idhayam patient... 'Idaythin Osai therindha Doctorukku en vizhigalin vaarthai aeno puriyavillai'. Naren now seriously starts contemplating on plan of action to nab the SMS heart patient. Ezhil comes in ,comments on recent behavioural changes in him. Naren shares the SMS matter & asks her to keep it to herself, not to let her boss know about it. Further says that he is quite sure that the culprit is inside the hospital & will soon solve the mystery. Ezhil leaves the room with a smug smile & a renewed determination to taunt him further.

Ezhil in her bedroom ,trying to read The Week Magazine. Flashes of her conversation with Dr. Naren interrupts her concentration. Picks up the cell for another round of SMS . Her father comes in , ezhil hurriedly hides the phone. Father turns a blind eye to the matter & after some mundane conversation leaves the room. Ezhil back to her cell . This time no SMS direct dialling , calls Naren who is still in the hospital, sweet talks with her Idhayam specialist . Srima feel like singing for Ezhil ' en Idhayam specialist Idhayathile kudi irukka naan varalama , kudi irukka naan varuvadharkum vadagai enna thara vendum'. Naren is irritated to the core, shouts who the hell are you ? Ezhil jolling 'I am a very very beautiful young girl who seeks a room in your heart.' Cuts the call leaving the irritated Naren in suspense.

Bharat Vicky comes to meet ECP [ namma ACD inga ECP ayittare]. Warmly welcomed by ECP , says contract documents are ready for signing . Asks Vicky about his marriage proposal to his sister .Vicky reveals the love matter between Rathi Naren , informal engagement over , marriage only after an year & a half.

Waaw a lot of time , anything can happen & many things can change .Bharat Vicky is confused . ECP again repeats his earlier words ... movie making & match making are two different things & not to get confused. Vicky tummyla milk vaarthing feeling. ECP calls assistant to bring the documents who comes empty handed saying , small typographical mistake in the document... typed Mani Bharathi instead of Bharat Vicky. Vicky's face drops , ECP takes leave citing film chamber meeting. Freeze on confused face of Bharat Vicky.

Update for Tues, May 17, 2011:

PK is going somewhere in the car and dreaming about Rathy. He tells his secretary, Mani, that he wants to make her his own, wants to see her again and again, and the secretary says he needs an excuse if he wants to see her in the hospital. PK looks at the street ahead, and points to an old lady and says, There is the reason. Mani hits the old lady, PK runs out and is all concern and brings the lady to the hospital.

Rathy is attending to the old lady and scolding the driver who hit her, probably he was drunk or a hit-and-run case, and PK steps forward. He says he saw the accident, he was driving the car and saw the old lady getting hit by someone in another car, so he brought the old lady (slick Willy, indeed!). He says his secretary told him not to get involved but he wouldn't listen and says all the expenses are on him, and gives her a blank check for the expenses. Rathy laughs and says this won't do, so he promptly says he will write out another check. She says it is enough if he pays at the time of discharge. She asks the old lady who lives with her, it turns out the old lady lives alone. PK is listening to all this (and thinking how he can use it to his advantage).

Rathy's periappa looks like he is having a heart attack, clutches his chest and takes his own time to put some medicine in his mouth (nitroglycerine?) and then phones Naren and asks him to come, without saying what the problem is (can't he buzz some secretary or someone? He is the chairman of this hospital, surely there is an attender to attend to him.). Naren comes in, asks what the matter is, and his phone rings. It is Ezhil again (she is such a nuisance!), he cuts the phone, and Periappa wants to know who called. Naren mazhuppufies, and asks Periappa the matter. Periappa doesn't tell him anything, but says he will come the next day at 7 a.m and asks Naren to run tests (typical doctor, he is in denial when he has the problem).

Akash is in Salima's room when his phone rings. While he is talking on the phone, he sees some movement in Salima's hand and remembers the time when Hasina said that her mother opened her eyes, but he didn't believe her. Now he calls to Salima, then he goes to the doctor in charge, and tells him that he saw her hand moving and asks him to check her out. On his way, he sees Hasina and tells her that he also saw movement. He tells Hasina that he is convinced that she will recover soon, and tells her to continue talking to Salima. Hasina is overwhelmed, she is unable to speak to Salima because she is so emotional now.

Rathy is in her office and she is told that PK wants to meet her. He comes inside, is lost in admiring her face when he sits down until she brings him back to earth! He says he didn't sleep all night because he was praying for the old woman's safe recovery (liar, liar!) and tells Rathy to keep her as long as needed in the hospital. Rathy praises his good nature and quotes a kural which she says describes him. He says she is much greater and he is not even worthy of sitting across from her, he should be sitting on the ground (nalla pesa theriyudhu!). He wants to know if her family is related to Bharathiyar, she says No, he says he admires her love of Tamil and is going to speak only in Tamil from now on. If he speaks in English, sorry, Aangilam, by accident, he is going to impose a fine on himself - Rs.1000 - and give it all to some charity at the end of the month. Naren comes in just then, Rathy introduces them, PK says Naren is the one who is going to marry Rathy. Rathy wants to know how he knows this, he says Mani Bharathy told him, then turns around and says this wedding will not take place. Rathy and Naren are stunned into silence, then PK completes it by saying that they are not going to get married now, but after 18 months, and he knows this too because Mani Bharathy told him. He insists on shaking Naren's hand, much to his discomfiture, and takes leave of them. After he leaves, Naren says that something is not right about this man, and warns Rathy about him. Rathy says he is just jealous of him and says that PK is a very good guy. Naren says No, there is something fishy and he can tell it from his attitude (he can see PK and read him immediately, but can't read Ezhil's attitude? Must be blind!). Rathy says he is being possessive here, just the way he accused her of being when she said something about Ezhil (good for you, Rathy! You hit the nail on the head!). She assures Naren that nobody can take her away from him, she will always belong to him!

Thodarum ...
