Update for Tues, Nov 22, 2011:

PK and Prince decide to join forces - they have a common enemy, Rathy. Prince asks Prem to take his investment out of SN and go to Mark, but Prem feels she is very capable and will manage even the tough financial situation, so he will stay there and create problems for her. Prince doesn't want to meet her, he wants her to wonder why he has gone there.

Kasi and Anand - Kasi says he hoped that Anand would reconcile and get united with his wife, but even though that didn't work out, he saw how Anand rushed to her house when he got the news and stayed there and did everything. Anand says that only in her death, he has understood her value. He says Konica has come here only after he called her as her friend, Anand, not as her father. He says she is lost now because she was raised by her mother and that is all she has ever known, her mother was her entire world. Kasi is impressed by how well Vidya is taking care of her sister like a mother, even though she is herself grieving. Anand says that the person who used to talk non-stop is now so silent, Konica is like the "salangai katti aadina kaal" has now taken it off and thrown it away, she is depressed. Kasi says he will go upstairs and call them to dinner, he asks Anand also to come, because they will come only if he comes.

The ambulance from SN reaches the house, but is informed that she has already been taken in the van from Mark Hospital. The driver goes back and the two other attenders are standing there. One is the guy who goes with the driver. They are talking about Chinnayyan stealing diesel, but he says he took only a little, there is equality between the mudalali and the thozhilali. He goes into Akash's room with a swagger, and the two guys outside are surprised at his attitude.

Akash and Rathy are sarcastic with Chinnayan, he pretends to be sorry, but Akash is furious when he finds out that the patient was taken to Mark Hospital. Rathy is angry that people will talk badly about SN and that Chinnayan and others are stealing diesel and offering rides to people at the bus stop. Akash fires Chinnayan, he gets angry and leaves. Rathy feels that Akash need not have dismissed him, he could have been suspended for ten days. Akash feels that he will go back to his old ways if he comes back, and tells the Accounts dept to settle with Chinnayan.

Chinnayan goes out, railing against SN. He sees Sathya on his way out, Sathya tells him to be quiet and to beg forgiveness from the MD. Chinnayan continues to scream, so Sathya himself forcibly throws him out. He goes out, threatening to take revenge on Sathya when he comes out. Where are the security guys in this hospital?

Shyamala brings coffee to Vicky, who is reading the newspaper. He tells her about Mr. Kumara Raja and his Alzheimer's Disease. Shyamala points out that Vicky also is forgetful, forgets to lock the car doors. Vicky tells her that Mr. KR has two sons, one in the US and one in Singapore, and he has written a part of his property in his will to Vicky also, apart from what he has given to his sons. But he has forgotten where he has kept the will, so Vicky wants to bring him to their house till he remembers where the will is.

Konica is remembering her mother. There are notes on the wall, saying things like, why did you leave me? and so on.

Thodarum...

I am sorry, it was hard for me to watch the last part.

Monday 21st Nov

Will try & do the update at the earliest. Yet to see the episode

Will definitely post it by tomorrow. Sorry for the delay

Monday 21.11.2011

Akash pays condolence visit to Anand , pays homage to departed soul , reminisces kavitha's good work at SN during her short tenure , feels very for the sudden misfortune.

Ambulance driver Chinnaya doesn't response to an emergency. Akash rebukes him & asks him to leave immediately to the spot to fetch the patient. The driver is kadu kadu as he had to forgo his lunch half way & leaves grudgingly.

Konika is still mourning mummy's death , guilt feeling overpowering , refuses to eat , speak to others & stays locked inside the house. Anand & Vidhya try their level best to bring her out from self imposed exile. Anand pleads with her to listen to him not as her father but as her friend.

Chinnaya's ambulance stops midway—no diesel. From the helper boy we get to know this man used to pilfer diesel , sell & make money. Chinnaya has the audacity to justify his act. Chinnaya calls Sathya to inform about the breakdown , petrol bunk is nearly 1.5 KM away , so asks to send another vehicle to kottivakkam to pick up the patient. Akash pissed off at the callous attitude of the driver , makes alternative arrangement.

A man walks in to SN hiding his face behind newspaper. Staff at the hospital greets him very very politely. Still face not revealed , camera focuses on his legs [ somehow this HyderAli days directions seems misfit in KB sir serial]. Anyways the man seems to be very influential as all seems to look at him in awe. At last the legs stops outside PK's cabin , camera moves up to show his face , a new character , kootu kaLavani for PK. Name Prince – Mark Prince, son of a renowned Doctor & owner of Mark health center . prince took over the reins after father's death. From their chit chat yet another trait of PK surfaces – psycho is also a drug addict – Prince cautions to reduce the dosage. P squared have common enemy in Rathi Barathi. Apparently Rathi was a year junior to Prince in Medical college. Prince ' ragging resulted in the death of a student. While all others kept quiet owing to his power & political connection , Rathi raised her voice & management was forced to take disciplinary action & suspend him, after which he was forced to complete his medicine from Russia. After coming back from Russia took over as MD of Mark Health Centre. Once kodi katti parandha his hospital has been relegated to lower position despite several qualified & efficient doctors & facilities – all because of SN .Prince feels both are wounded soldiers & shot by the same rifle , so both have the common goal – pull down SN from its victory stand & avenge Rathi.

Thursday 24.11.2011

SN drivers strike gains momentum ' all drivers rally behind Chinnaya & asks for justice. Akash & MB arrive , nallavan madhiri PK tries to mediate- threatens that if the management decides to close the hospital loss is theirs. MB upset , first time in 25 years of SN history a strike has happened , asks them to come to his room & solve the problem amicably. Chinnaya & company not game for this . PK requests Chairman & CFO to leave saying he will handle the matter. Once they leave PK signals Chinnaya to continue with the shouting.

Inside MB's room serious discussion on. MB scolds Akash for his impetuous action. Rathi defends saying Chinnaya is at fault , needs to be punished. Anand has a solution ' Hire drivers from private recruitment agency & carry on with work . Automatically the drivers will surrender. But rathi feels that will aggravate the problem. Says only Chinnaya is the main culprit & needs to be punished , others are innocent. Further Rathi feels somebody's hand is behind this.

Driver's strike having serious repercussions on SN's day to day operation. Urgent need for B+ blood , no vehicle available to go to the blood bank. The receptionist seeks Sathya's help. Sathya calls Sebastin & asks to get the money from the account section ,book a call taxi & get the reqd. Blood from the blood bank. One problem solved , the next one crops up ' emergency , heart attack patient, ambulance needed immediately . Sathya has no option but to disturb the meeting. Message passed on & they decide to send Dr. Naren to mediate.

Sathya pleads with the drivers ' a human life is at stake , it is an emergency , drivers not ready to pay any heed, slogan shouting goes on. Dr. Naren also pleads , then seeing the driver's arrogant behaviour , dons the driver's uniform & operates the ambulance , picks up the lady from her house & brings her to the hospital.

At SN the lady is wheeled in to the ICU. Rathi is informed. Naren's commendable work being appreciated by Akash & Sathya . Patient's condition is very serious , Naren & Rathi try their level best to save her, but God has willed otherwise. The patient's body brought out , a nurse identifies her as Chinnaya's mother & runs to inform him. The drivers are resting , nurse informs Chinnaya that the ambulance patient was his mother & has died. Chinnaya shocked.

Monday 28.11.2011 Archive copy

Recap of Friday episode. The nurse identifies the deceased as Chinnaya's mother & reports to him. Chinnaya is totally shattered & his friends stand by his side & consoles.

Kasi's house. SN compounder Sebastian comes to give the canteen contract order letter to Kasi. Kasi not at home , Meenu takes the letter. Vandavan letter kuduthoma ponomanu illama vilavariya explains about Visalam & her husband's hospital visit for test. All tests which would normally cost not less than Rs.10000 was done absolutely free of cost thanks to Kasi who has earned the good will of Anand & Visalam used this to influence Akash to get the free treatment.

MB is tense & worried , skips even the dinner , the days happening in the hospital because of driver's strike still disturbing him . GDP tries to talk to him & convince it is not his or SN's mistake , birth & death are common in hospital. So MB should not attach too much importance to the incident & worry over it. MB could not be convinced so easily. Says in SN doctors , nurses & staff work day & night to save a life. They have successfully treated many serious cases which were rendered hopeless by other hospitals. SN record will show that there had hardly been any death in the past 6 months except that of Jeevan/ Manasi which of course was a suicide case. Even there Rathi really tried her best to save them. But Devi feels otherwise – it is a profession , one should not get too emotional & sentimental.

Naren tells Akash that driver Chinnaya met him at his house & genuinely felt sorry for his action. Naren asks Akash to reconsider his decision & reappoint him. Akash initially refuses , later accepts when Naren told about PK promising Chinnaya a job in Prince' hospital & Chinnaya's refusal to accept it . Akash tells Sathya to revoke Chinnaya's dismissal order & issue a new appointment letter.

Chinnaya thanks his co workers for their help while performing his mother's last rites. Becomes emotional as his arrogant behaviour has cost his mother's life. Says he has learnt the lesson the hard way.

Vicky decides to take Kumara raja to his house & take care of him as his care taker is going on leave to his native place. Usual incoherent speech by Kumararaja , when they talk of His will Kumararaja talks about Arjuna's & rama's Will [ bow].

Premkumar takes Prince to meet Naren's parents. After preliminary introduction PK asks about the newly weds. Naren's mom starts her usual polambals – we are not really happy with the marriage , ellam vidhi blah blah. Prince adds more dhoopam for her woes , comments about Rathi's egoistic character , will never give Naren the MD post. Prince puts forth his offer - willing to make Naren MD of Mark health centre as he is going out of the country. Golden opportunity – jalra thatting PK ,fortune knocks at the door rarely , pona varadhu , prods Naren's parents to think about it & convince son . Naren's parents mind starts working overtime.

Update for Tues, Nov 29, 2011:

Periappa on the phone with someone. Sees Kumararaja sitting and eating idlis, asks Shyamala, What's up? KR is confused as always, wonders where he has met Mohan Bharathy before. MB wants to know how he came there, Shyamala says the caretaker has gone to his village, Vicky brought him to this house. MB says he must be watched carefully or else he will get lost. Vicky comes in , wants to know if KR said anything. MB says it is risky having an Alzheimer's patient at home, what if he gets lost. MB is shocked to hear about the will and that Vicky brought him home just for the money. Shyamala asks KR about the will, he remembers that it is in the almirah in the Adyar bungalow, the top shelf, then he asks, which will?

Visalam in Kasi's house, unpacking. Kasi and Meenu are looking grim. They are furious that she has used their name and gone to SN and got all the free treatment. Kasi says she could have asked him, there are so many other hospitals, he could have done something. Meenu talks of their maanam, which has gone in the ship, visali pretends not to understand, Kasi says the compounder has come to their house and told them all. Visali is in tears, apologizes, Meenu tells her not to set foot in their house till she gets back their maanam for them. Later, at night, Visalam leaves their house.

Great scene - Naren and Rathy being romantic - Naren talks of how their first night didn't work out, so this is the second innings, and he talks of starting melodiously. They sway together (and look so cute doing this - am I gushing like one of the young people in other sections - you know which section I am talking about!). Naren is imagining Rathy in modern clothes, he counts down and - she comes in various outfits, and each time he calls out, Dress change! She keeps changing outfits, there is a nice song in the background (kehne ko jashne bahaar ... which movie is this from?) - this was a beautiful scene, very well done!

Finally, they drop off to sleep in the last set of clothes, and wake up to find it is 5:20 a.m. Naren calls out, Dress change!, she comes out of the bathroom, dressed for work, and leaves the room! He is still looking at her, confused! Will this idyllic time last? Doubtful, not with that paambu PK and his buddy around!

Thodarum ...

*Shanthi Nilayam November 2011 Archives*

Sorry, folks! I have been a little busy, but I will come back and do Wed.

Update for Nov 30, 2011:

Konica is standing in front of her mother's chair and playing the song, "suttum vizhi ...", and asking her mother to forgive her for speaking to her like that. She spoke out of ignorance, why such a severe punishment, and she hears her mother's voice telling her not to cry. She runs and brings Vidya to the room, saying that she heard amma's voice but Vidya doesn't hear anything. Vidya tells her it is only her imagination, Konica insists she heard the voice.

Devi complains that Akash doesn't spend quality time with her and only with his first wife, SN. Akash says all men think their job comes first, she says he has to take care of her. Akash says she is from Mumbai and progressive, she says he is a workaholic. She says he has to keep the kadhal jyoti burning, he says that it will flicker when there are strong winds. She wants to know what strong winds, he says she gave Rs.15 crores, how did she get that money, that was the first wind. Who did she give the money to, that was the second wind. How did she get the missing CCTV footage, that was the third wind, another katrina. He says he grew up in a straightforward way, but when there is something crooked, he is afraid, but she is unafraid. He says this fear is what is coming between them. She says that if he has ice cream in his hand, he should eat it before it melts, not ask where was it manufactured, what the ingredients are, life is in front of you, wife also in front of you, don't waste your time doing useless research. They make up.

Prem wants to know what happened in the hospital, a nurse tells him that Ezhil has attempted suicide. He remembers telling her to commit suicide and leave a note that Naren is responsible. Just then he gets a letter by courier, and it is the suicide note by Ezhil. He is pleased.

Vidya tells Anand that she is concerned about Konica. She says that she feels that Konica is spending all the time in the room with Kavitha's things, and now she has started imagining that she can hear Kavitha's voice. Anand is shocked and says she needs some diversion. He remembers Rathy asking about Konica and suggesting that she work in SN. Vidya thinks it is a good idea, but Anand is not sure if she will agree. Vidya says that she will make Konica agree.

Vidya goes to see Konica in Kavitha's room. Konica says it was so good to hear her mother's voice and she is confident that she will hear it again, that is why she has come to this room. Vidya suggests that she go and work in SN, it will be a good diversion and tells Konica to think it over and come to a decision.

Naren examining Ezhil, PK comes in, wants to know if she will survive, will she live or die, if she goes up, he tells Naren that he will go inside, not to Tihar but to Puzhal, so be careful, fanning himself with that suicide note all the time.

Thodarum ...
