MONDAY 3rd May 2010 Archives' copy
TA's cautious persuasion to convince Vel pays off & finally truce established between two.Both shake hands & confirm friendship. To further strengthen his truce treaty TA gives his visiting card to Vel ,promising to help whenever needed. LOL the card happens to be that of a Biriyani shop [ha ha velukku aapu halwaku badil hot spicy biriyani doi ].TA excuses his over enthusiasm for the blunder , hands his original card & extends his advance wishes for a long happy married life as he would not be able to attend due to his engagement on the same day [alibi established] & leaves.. Oru AANava siruppu at the corner of Vel's lips.
Outside TA explains to his friend the reason for this samadhana udanpadikkai.... to divert Vel's attention from him when they carry out their operation abduction. The friend expresses his fear, but TA pooh pooh it.
Patti pondering over pethi's plight...just 2 days left for the wedding. Patti is all in tears... angry at Tulasi not being bold...worried about her future at Vel's hands. Tulasi Budha has the same standard replies .... not to go against father's wishes...disprove his view of her being like her mother...she has proved this point by agreeing to marry vel... decides to face life stoically ,accept her destiny blindly. Illustrates the innumerable humiliations she faced not only at home, even outside. Flashbacks of schooldays when students mock at her when she struggled to write an essay on the topic " Mother". A male student misbehaving with her...Odi poi kalayanam dhan kattikkalama ,kalyanamdhan kattikkittu Odi polama [ srima sings]. Deepa enters the scene & gives the boy a palaar. Advice galore by Deepa [ Hmm enna prayojanam...sevidan kadhila oodhina sangudhan].Says...Pongi ezhu penne , use your hands & nails to teach such rowdies a lesson...these words of Mahathma Gandhi are for practising not for just memorising for the sake of exams. Throw your guilty feelings about your mother to the winds & reincarnate as Barathi kanda pudhumai peNN.[Deepaku thondai thaNNi vathinadhudhan micham , our thyagasudar remains the same].On the contrary Tulasi becomes more philosophical about life. Advices patti. Quotes Kannadasan , prepares self to walk along holding Vidhi's [fate] fingers. Irritated & upset patti shouts back that God has the power to change the so called Vidhi even at the last minute, keeps her fingers crossed for some miracle.
MM/ Padma clan all set to go for Pandak kaal function.Vel's car arrive to take them. All nicely decked , wardrobe courtesy Vel, Mohan flaunts his branded dress , Oppukaga MM asks patti to accompany them..patti refuses. All drive away in the Osi car.
Patti Tulasi left alone in the house.Patti expresses her firm belief that "he" will definitely stop this wedding. Tulasi wonders at the repeated use of "he" & wants to know who that "he" is & patti's fingers point at Lord Muruga.
