Monday - 2/8/10
Starts with 4 ft 1 inch mom of Prakash doing a sky-earth jumping.
" since my son loves your sister, I still want this wedding to go on -
but let your sister get ready to leave for the US of A " Tamizh vetoes
any such notion. Meena pleads "pOgatheenga...pOgatheenga.." Well,
Tamizh serial Lakshanam is not sacrificied - all this is a dream .....
Meena kku thaan. Sada comes, sees darling sis in a trance..... and
gets to know the worry. Just then Prakash asks Tamizh "passport eduthittiya??" Tamizh blinks and Prakash continues "so....you do not know??" Sada calls Praksh on his mobile.....finds out where exactly the couple are standing... tells Kavi to take care of the other end..goes to Praksh "mappillai...inge enna panringa??" The moment of revelation passes. The pOngal is ready... all adjourn to the sannidhi....Meena is all smiles ....thambi udaiyaan padaikku anjaan ???
Janaki and Prema in the temple - ithu vera temple ppa. Prema gives a thaali to the priest "amman pathathile vaichu kudunga" Janaki wants to know " ithu yethu?? and why??" Prema says that all her efforts are getting countered by the other side - "so swamy kku oru savaal vida poren. Intha thaali should be tied by Karthik ..illatta undiyal kku pOgum " (ithu enna vetti savaal??? she means that she will never marry if Karthik refuses to tie the noose??) The priest chants...
KK enters the temple.
Both mother and daughter go to her...cootchi coo.... apologize...... KK sees some people getting ready to carry the thee chatti. Her face becomes pensive. Prema probes and learns that KK wanted to carry it for some parikaaram - uruppadaatha Karthik kku velai appO thaan kidaikkumaam !! - Prema decides to cash this opportunity. KK goes to do the archanai, Prema goes to the thee chatti crowd and asks for one. That lady says that she has one extra. KK comes back, learns
that Prema is stepping in for her, tries to dissuade but Prema talks about "vayathile sumanthaval and nenjile sumanthaval " - to cut a long story short, Prema carries the hot pot, KK melts......leaves. Janaki looks at Prema's burnt palms and fumes...Prema says that all this is jujubi...."think about the jackpot that is waiting..."
Freeze

Update for Tuesday, August 3, 2010:
Sada is talking with his
buddy, an auto driver, about AM and KS becoming friends again, which
may put a full stop to his plans to marry Kavitha. He doesn't like the
idea of their becoming such good buddies, and going for lunch to KS's
house. Friend suggests he drop Kavitha, he says that Kavitha is his
wife in his mind, how can he forget her?
KK comes home, tells KS
about Prema carrying the fire pot for her and getting burned in her
palms, Karthik is overhearing and is touched.
Eka comes to see
KS, apologizes for being the person who was responsible for all this
enmity, KS says there is nothing to be sorry about, and asks him to
join them at lunch. Eka says he will come some other time.
KK
is busy checking on the kitchen and its current state of affairs,
checks on rasam, gives it to Paati for the final seal of approval, is
told that it needs some more salt, tells the kitchen duty person to add
salt.
Prema is getting ointment applied on her burns, Janaki
asks again if this was necessary, she says that yes, now Karthik will
think seriously about her, and should be on his way to her house, and
sure enough, he enters! He sees her burns, asks her why she did it,
she talks about her inability to do anything more, and so on. He is
deeply touched, and leaves. Prema wears the sunglasses he left behind,
and says that this is an indication of how deeply he has been touched.
Sara returns home, and is thinking of Shylaja's asking him to talk to his parents about marrying her.
Thodarum ...
Sorry I have been brief, but there wasn't much today.

Update for Wed, Aug 4, 2010:
MK
and Palanisamy return with the banana leaves, vethilai etc., Sara is
thinking about Shylaja, and Karthi is hanging around. KS is
verattufying everyone around. Sara is trying to say something and
comes in front of KS, but right then, the AM family enters, so the
moment is lost.
(
I am stuck in the middle
of something in the kitchen, so I will come back to this later, after
dinner. Dinner is over, but ... Since I successfully burned my tomato
thokku, I will continue with the update instead.)
KS
and KK welcome the visitors, everyone troops in and they all sit down
in a semi-circle in the chairs that have been arranged there. MK, Sara
and Karthi are glowering at the girls, and the girls look very
uncomfortable, looking at the guys and then looking elsewhere. Karthi
is remembering how he was forced to touch Swathi's feet and he is
fuming, she in turn is also uneasy. KK goes to the kitchen and asks
Meena to bring out the drinks (coffee?), she comes out, sees Sada and
gets terrified, runs back inside and refuses to go outside. AM's wife
Meena goes to the kitchen, asks if Meena Jr. got scared when she saw
Sada, and was she the one whom Sada treated so badly the other day, and
then takes her by the hand, goes to where Sada is sitting, and tells
Sada to apologize. He does so, and then she tells Meena Jr. not to
fear him any more. KS sees the girls and his sons looking uneasy,
Tamil apologizes to MK, but KS makes them all shake hands, MK with TS,
Kavitha with Sara and Swathi with Karthi. (Unfortunately, KS has only three sons, so there is no one to shake hands with Vasanthi!).
Everyone has lunch, on the banana leaves, sitting at the dining table (and here I thought they were going to sit on the floor and eat the old fashioned way!) After
lunch, they go back to the living room and their previous seats. KK
keeps nudging KS to say something, and he tells her to say it. This
drama is being observed by Mr. and Mrs. AM, as well as KS's three sons
and AM's daughters and Sada. Finally, KK comes forward and asks AM to
reconsider their proposal to get their three sons to marry AM's
daughters. AM and Meena are quiet, and KS asks them what they think.
Finally, Tamil speaks up and she says that it is best that they drop
the idea as her sisters are not ready for marriage. She says they need
to finish their studies, KS says that he will ensure that they complete
their studies, and then she says that her sisters met their sons when
they were committing adaavadithanams, so they will only see them as
rowdies and not as prospective husbands, so it is best that they leave,
and she gets her parents to leave. (She was
being unduly harsh and abrupt with them, and in any case, what makes
her the spokesperson for her family? She was so much more moderate and
well mannered in the beginning, now I don't like her abruptness and
rudeness in speaking.) The AM family leaves.
Once home,
Meena is still looking glum. Tamil asks her why she is glum, and
finally she says that she feels that Tamil need not have been so abrupt
with them (just what I have been saying, except that I would use the word "rude" or "ill-mannered"). Tamil is surprised.
Thodarum ...

FRIDAY 6TH AUG.2010
Senior Meena & her 3 daughter's[2,3,4] kootaNi...meena polambing...1000 lies allowed
for a maariage , but am just hiding 2
truths , all for the sake of my daughter's good life. Naan paNNina
vandavalam Thamizhku therinja , she will resort
to the extreme step...call of the marriage. To avoid that
all 3 of you should marry KS' sons. Kavi is confused , wonders why mummy
is putting mudichu for motta thalai & muzhangal ,how their marriage will
benefit Thamizh. It will indeed clarifies mom...once they are married , Thamizh's
self assumed importance of family responsibility & burden will reduce. Then
Meena can sing to her ... life can go on without you, flowers can bloom without you , birds can chirp without you.
Thamizh would then realize that she is not indispensible, things can
happen without her help. Meena can then
persuade her to settle down happily in the US of A [ Meena can also make a trip
on delivery duty excuse ]. Meena assure other girls not to assume that she is
well pushing [kiNathula thallaradhu] them for their sister's sake...KS' family is also a decent
family though they had unpleasant experience with his sons. Meena has thrown
the ball in their court to take a favourable decision. Akka's good life in stake
so thangachis unanimously & whole heartedly vote for KS' family marriage proposal.
Karthik receives a courier ...appointment order ...good
company, good salary Rs. 15000 PM . All elated, patti attributes to Thatha's
blessing , KK says along with thatha's blessings Prema's thee chatty lifting
also contributed to this , making Karthik also to contemplate about it. KS is
informed about this ulaga maha adhisayam. Happy KS announces free one kilo
sugar [ cost Rs.31] to all the customers of the day. Daddy dear then becomes emotional remembering his innumerable Dhanda
soru pattam hurled out at Karthik .
Thamizh getting ready to leave for work. Meena is anxious to
know Kavi & Co decision...they all
milk pouring in her tummy. Kavi decides to handle the matter...confronts
Thamizh , accuses her for taking unilateral decision in rejecting KS' house
proposal . How can she decide on their behalf , tastes differ , they were
actually ready for the alliance. Livid
Thamizh points out to Kavitha of her CA / auditor Kanavu [ auditor Oditar
?],her promise to
retrieve their ancestral property ,
whatever happened to that[ Kavi knows that the property will come back to them
only on the 300th episode
] so why waste time , good opportunity
valiya vandhu fallen on their lap, grab it . Verbal warfare between sisters ,
peak of it is Kavi accusing Thamiz being jealous of them , hence poding muttu
kattai for their marriage.
Meena scolds Kavi for such reckless talk hurting Thamizh's feelings. Helpless Kavi points out this is the
only way she could keep Thamizh's blind
love for them at bay . Sure Thamizh is going to dislike kavi for this , but
surely it will pave a better path for
Thamizh's happy life. Akka has sacrificed so much for the family , she deserves
the best.
Thodarum
