Update for Friday, January 18, 2008 by Eljay
Opening scene: Akila sees Deepika fainting, and this man is supporting her. She goes in and asks the man to get some water; instead, he opens Deepika's purse, takes out some pills and gives it to her. Deepika slowly regains consciousness (not "conscious"!!!) and Akila asks her what is happening. Meanwhile, the guy goes off after telling D to take care and says he will look in on her in the evening. Akila again presses D, asking her what the matter is, and who this guy is with whom she appeared to have been having some kind of serious argument, and who apparently is familiar enough with her to be able to open her purse and take out her pills. D brushes her off, saying it is personal, but Akila says that she has shared the details of her marriage with her, why can't D share her problems with her. D says she has low blood pressure, which many women have (is that so? That is news to me), and asks to be left alone.
Scene shifts to a stone quarry, where the goonda Annamalai is standing with some of his henchmen. Someone comes and tells him that Chinna ayya has come to see him. He is wondering who this chinna ayya is, turns out to be Saravanan, who explains that now they are partners, he thought it was only fair that A should be called Periya ayya, and he himself chinna ayya. He asks if A has opened the accounts as asked; when A confirms having done so, he hands over something to him. Annamalai says that there is a problem with their agreement, instead of their splitting the profit 50 β 50, he now wants it to be a 60 β 40 split, and Saravanan readily agrees. A is surprised; S says he always looks at everything from the long term angle, and A says that S is a master tactician (I would say a master swindler). A boy comes in and interrupts, saying that Chinna Rasu has come to see Annamalai, A says that he does not wish to be disturbed. He then explains to Saravanan that previously, Chinna Rasu used to be like a son to him and he treated him as a special protg, but now S has taken that place. S tells him that he knows about CR, he has laid out a special trap for CR's SIL, who works in his company, and she has fallen for it. He explains about Robert and Stella, and how he wants some fun on the side, and hence his liaison with Tulasi. A is filled with admiration (now I would have wanted to smack him). S leaves and CR comes, tries to talk with A about S, A refuses to listen, and when CR becomes belligerent, gets his goons to beat up CR.
Kavitha is waiting in a pharmacy, when Deepika and her male friend walk in. Kavitha recognizes him from the pic shown by Arvind, D surmises as much and introduces her as "my ex-husband's present wife". She starts talking about Arvind taking the picture, Kavitha tells her not to badmouth Arvind in her presence, so D becomes even more excited, and starts shouting about her having eyes in the back of her head also. She accuses Kavitha of placing her photo in Meenakshi's school book, where it asked for the mother's photo. Kavitha is trying to get her to keep quiet. Mercifully, the clerk comes in with Kavitha's pills, she takes them and leaves. Deepika asks her friend if Kavitha was buying contraceptive pills.
Kavitha is taking some pills when Arvind enters. He asks her what she is taking, she says she has a headache, he asks her why she is hiding the fact that she is taking contraceptives. (I am amazed that these are available freely, without a prescription.) He says that Deepika did not want a child, and wants to know if Kavitha also is like that. Kavitha explains that she did not want another child competing with Meenakshi for her father's affection. Just then, Deepika enters the room, and Arvind wants to know if she has the habit of entering people's houses if the door is open. Actually, that is something I have wanted to know for a very long time, why people in these shows leave their doors open, and then ask people why they entered without permission! Just as Deepika starts telling Kavitha that she should have her own child, so that Meenakshi can belong wholly to her real mother, she starts to feel faint. Kavitha leads her to a chair, and gives her some water. Again, she takes out some pill from her purse, and Kavitha asks her what the matter is, and she says that she wants to have Meenakshi all to herself as long as she is alive.
Jeeva is trying to start his motorbike in some street, somewhere in Andhra or Karnataka. The street name is written in Telugu or Kannada. He hears someone konjifying "Ennada chellam", looks up and they show Akila with her baby (isn't she in Chennai?). Jeeva goes up to her and takes the baby from her (this looks to be a different baby, maybe they had to get a different loaner today). I guess all this is in his imagination.
