Rameswaram came out of Radha's house, with his sunglasses perched atop his head, wearing a red T-shirt and shorts. As he came out whistling, he was stopped by a girl in a red salwar kameez, red shoes, and red purse, riding on a red motor bike. The girl was none other than our Giri, and she was going to the beach to shake off the blues, thanks to the trials and travails on Anandham and Kasthuri and Tmt. Selvam. Giri wanted directions to the nearest coffee shop, and Rameswaram offered to take her there. Giri wasn't sure if she should take this lascivious character with her, but he looked silly enough that she was sure she could handle him, anyway, so she took him. He took her to the coffee shop in City center mall, and was disappointed that she wouldn't ake him up on his offer to show her around the mall. Slowly, he came out of the mall, and hailed an auto, when he was shoved aside by two ladies, one glittering in gold, and one wearing a cool white blouse and black jeans. He kept spluttering, "Ladies, I was the one who hailed this auto," but neither seemed to listen. The auto driver took pity on him and let him sit alongside his own seat, and neither woman seemed to even notice his presence. His ego was considerably deflated, but he sat there nevertheless, listening to their conversation.
The golden one said, " Ithu entha Kasthurinde katha ingane maari pochu? Kasthuri poi jaille, Ram and Rekha porathu, Jothi vera accuse panni, and Masil gammunu irukku ippadi. Ithu poora oru dramavo by Annamalai, enikku oru samsyam irukku. " and the black jeans said, " Irukkatum chechi, naan ammunition vechirukken, I will tear down the jail. I am waiting for Giri to bring it all there, and Hosanna and eljay are bringing their own ammo." Some of the names sounded familiar to Rameswaram, so he started listening closely to see where they were headed, and what their plans were, when the black jeans looked at him and said, "Athu seri, intha loosu maama eppadi inge?" and asked the auto driver to make him get down. Poor Rameswaram, he got down and hailed another auto and followed the auto in which Sue and black jeans (our very own Rojapoo) were going.
Soon Rameswaram found himself in Pallavaram, and the auto driver demanded that he get down, because he was tired of following another auto. Rameswaram got down and as he was thinking of his next move, he saw these two young girls in a red Toyota car. He just stuck his hand out, and lo and behold, they stopped and asked him where he wanted to go, and he pointed to the departing auto with Goldie and Black Jeans. They asked him to get in, and they all zoomed off, following the auto with our fearless pair.
The two girls introduced themselves to Rameswaram, saying that their names were Netra and Nallu, and they were headed to Pallavaram railway station for a rendezvous with their friends, and where did he want to go, and what was his name? Rameswaram cleverly misled them by saying that his name was Ganesh and he wanted to know where those two women were headed, because it sounded like they knew something that would help him solve a murder case that he was trying to work on.
I will continue after dinner.
