It is early morning and the sun has just started rising. The sprawling garden of the brindavan has just got lit with the early rays of the sun. The dew drops on the grass blades are exicited. What else can they do? Each night the settle on the grass blades, only waiting eagerly for the next dawn. What else could they do when the sun rays call them?
There is the melodious voice of Bombay Jayashree from a sprawling garden on the other end of brindavan. The song goes as Rama nAmamae thuthi manamae.... .
Anyone who had been in TNagar Chennai about 20-25 years back would find quite a similarity in the garden.It is just like the old Panangal park . At the center of the garden instead of the concrete building one saw at panagal park is Dt.Sitalakshmi's house, An eco-friendly one with thatched roof and walls made out of mud and straw. Well ventilated.
VeerSanjeevi, the old man and the caretaker of the garden , working in the garden rushes into the house and switches off the music, murmuring to himself "idhula oNNum Korachal illa".
Dr.SitaLakshmi enters the room. She very well know who had stopped the music. She sees Veer walking up and down. She sees her other son, Giri entering the house.
"selamat pagi saudara" , says the doctor.
"selamat pagi kakak", says Veer.
Doc: "Adakah anda mengaktifkan daripada muzik?"
Veer:"tidak ada orang lain yang di sini ialah mereka?"
Doc:"Hal ini hampir 20 tahun tapi masih anda tidak dapat memaafkan suami saya? "
"Ivalavu krodham yedhukku?"
Veer: "yenaku avara KovichikavO illa avar maela kova padarathukO neariyA rights irukku"
Doc: "seri seri nadandhu mudinja kadha, you do know some of it is my own issues. Switch the music on annae"
Veer:" Ok then listen to this song". Veer selects the next song in the player, and goes as 'yeppadi manam thuNindhadhO swAmy..'. The only thing that raw man had done good is to get me an excellent Sister, you kakak".
"Giri kelambitAn annae, inimae Malay vaendAm, thamizhlayae paesalam" says doctor. "yedhuku vandhurikeenga?"
Veer:"thangachi,dhenu odhaikkudhu! nA yedhu koduthAlum adikudhu".
Doc:" Konjam madhuvai niruthineeganA yellAm SariyA poidum"
Veer murmuring,"Giriyum mAdhukaLa pAkaradha korachikaNum".
Doc:"yenna sonneenga?, yennaku yellAm theriyum, avan oru chinna pilla, villayAttu payan"
Giri just returns back hugs veer, "Thatha, yenna summ pOttu kodukaradhae pozhapA pOchu unakku. yenna Mabbula dhenu kitta pOnA pOla irukku?"
Veer:"Giri, konjam vandhu help pannudA?"
Giri:"Weren't you complaining about my friendship with girls?"
Veer: "Dhenu, oru kannukutti, if you have forgotten"
Giri:"Adhukku kooda thatha mabbu therinjirikku".
Doc:"SeridA! thathavum paeranum debate, can you please help veer thatha?"
Veer and Giri go out to get dhenu some food. Doc, relaxes a little and remebers the days of her married life to the Indonesian transport King's Son. A King, was he. In those days in Indonesia,Jakarta, he was the only one who had 10 trucks and 10 buses the huge fleet in SE Asia.
Over to Indonesia...

Story So Far -Continues - In the Reva
Road Podubavar:
enter shotgun gun senthil with machine gun mani(gounda mani dhan)
They start outsmarting eachother and finally our machine gun mani lifts the butt of his gun hits shotgun on the butt calling him kalasnikov thalaiyaa!
Then shotgun pulls the hand grenade from manis tunic and removes the pin asking gounda iddu eena anney!
Rattled gounda shouts dey parrota thaliayaa when the grenade slips from his shot gun senthils hand and falls in to the gutter.
There is loud explosion and then.
Komban:
The grenade that fell on gutter went off just when Reva was passing . The explosion threw the Reva up. Shotgun, pressed the eject button and the escape module shot further up with the 4 LPG cannisters firing . Murugan looked at the booster parameters in the module. After going up for 20 meters the LPG burners stopped.
The descent started. one meter, 2 meters.....,
Shotgun's face was looking nervous.
Then it happened. The three parachutes on the top of the escape module opened up .
Shotgun Murugan, heaved a sigh. The desent was still a little fast than expected.
At around 5 mts, the belly balloon was activated automatically. The side air compressors started to force air into the belly balloon.
The whole module landed on a slope and started sliding down to the base. Murugan smiled and patted himself on the back.He had been prototyping this for four years now and today his work has been tested and worked very well.
sAmbhAr looked shivering but with a smile in his face at shotgun and said, "Arae! the mayur module worked great! Give me a five no make it six". Sambhar was aware the shotgun had six fingers in his hands.
Just then shotgun's cellphone rang.
The voice on the cellphone called, "VelA! VadivEAlA!.......". Shotgun looked at the cellphone screen. There is only one person who would call him like that and by that name. His grandmA.
Shotgun answered " Yes pAtti! what is it now?".
The other end his grandma said,"Veetukku vApA" ( Come home my dear)" her voice breaking. Shotgun knew. It was about two years back that he had left home on an argument with his parents. Grandma continued " I know why you are angry, but both you and your brother wanted financing and at that time your prototype was not ready. Both your dad and mom did not have a choice but to fund the stabler timber business for your brother. It is all because of the financing uncle, Huseini, He was ready to finance only one of the ventures. Cannot blame him alone. Your dad and mom found the timber business stable and the elephants used were demanding more food. Your bro, was struggling to feed them. That business has become stable now".
"So is my Mayur pAtti" said shotgun, "We just had an incident when everything worked perfectly well". "Will, uncle huseini, finance me now?". The grandma could not answer. But she knew something that would bring Shotgun home. She started humming with tears rolling, "Valli vara pOra.. Velli maNi thEAra".
Sambar looked at shotgun "TheAra valli A rahi hai kyA?" he questined It was more of a joy than a question.

Story So Far -Continues - Parthasarathy and Kodhai
Links To: முன்னுரை (Introduction) | இதுவரை (Story So Far)
The video phone rings... Part looks at thre rear view mirror, the Reva is still following.
The video phone rings again... Part switches his camera on the windshield. The dashboard display that projects the GPS info onto the windshield now projects a picture...
From Australia? Impossible he shouted. "What Mission?" came the voice. Did not sound like her, thought Part. "What Mission?" came the voice again. Part waited, The voice again, "What Mission?" . That is three times now.
Part is happy.. It is his fiancée/ the girl who would be his wife in the near future, childhood sweetheart's picture with long hair. There on top of the picture he sees the hair clip that he sent to her last week.
The sweet voice comes on the speaker. Hi Part dear?
"Hey Goats?", shrieks Part.
"Just because I failed in aquaculture finance management in one semester , you do not have to call me that way" said the sweet voice from the other end.
"oh come on!" said Parts. "What is your real name?"
"Srirangam Kodhai Nappinai alias Kodhai" replied the sweet voice.
"What is my name?", asked Parts, "Thiruvelikeni Parthasarthy Daddhiavanam" said KOdhai.
"So as a pastoral person, historically speaking, should I not call my love , Goats?" he replied.
Kodhai without life in her words said, "you always have a way to justify what you say".
Parts,"what's happening?, why I do not hear any enthu in your words? and what is all this still photo instead of your lovely face that usually is as bright as the full moon on a dark clear sky?"
Kodhai, "you should not feel bad" she said.
Parts,"when have I? that too looking at you?", at the background in the car, the old tamil song, "Vadanamae Chandra BimabamO" was going on a remix.
Part remembered the days, the two have watched thiruvilayAdal and Muthuraman asking question about the Fragrance of hair on women's head. Kodhai always had long flowing hair that could be spread as a black blanket on a green grass. They have done that on days when they were at OOTy watching a full moon on clear sky.
Part got a huge shock and stepped on the brakes. PK screamed at the rear seat. Luckily, the Kois were in a well balanced freezer tank.
there was Kodhai with a extremely short hair. "What happened?" shouted Part.
"It is a long story" started Kodhai. "Me and my friends were going to this beach the other day, and we came upon a cute little girl probably 5 years old. She was making sand castle with her dad and mom and her brother. suddenly there was a huge gust of wind and her hair flew off and the wig landed on my lap". She stopped for a while.
Parts, "and then....". Goats continued,"and then... she started crying and went to her mom, her dad and mom were not happy either". "I went to them gave the wig back and was talking to her parents, when the story revealed. The girl had been in chemo sessions for about 3 months now for cancer. They are hoping that the chemotherapy will help". At the same time, the mom was looking at my face. She also had a bag with a sign saying "Wigs for Kids". I asked her about that, and she said, that she runs a program that makes wigs with donated hair for cancer patients. I and many of my friends here took her address and went yesterday. We parted with our hair. I did not know how to tell you last week about this when the hair clip arrived. But I was finding it a little difficult to tell you when you called from home yesterday. Amma might find it difficult to digest. Are you Sad?"
Parts, "No dear ! No. ot a bitI cannot say how proud I am!". In the annals of our history, Do you remember the story "Gift of the Magi" we used to read in our 7 th grade English class?" What you did is way more sacrifice than what happened in that story.
Parthasarathy looks away from the video for a moment, with tears in his eyes.
PoliceKAr:" Nalla peNmaNi! avaL nalla peNmaNi...."
Sarathy: "Saar, what's the state of the fish?"
PolicekAr: "The Fishes are ok"
Sarathy: "I beg your pardon, adhu fishes illa fish thAn"
PolieKar:"mAel nAttu marumaga varattum kaettu therinjikiraen"
and continues,"Sarathy, the Ice is melting... if it becomes water it might createstress on the fish"
SArathy: "oh my God! what can we do?"
kOdhai: "well what's happening?"
Sarathy:" Goats dear, I have an important mission. I need to save a set of priceless Kois"
kOdhai: "What are your bearings? sorry, thought I was talking to that old ham man, oops , ham old man"
Sarathy:"Well somewhere near chengalpattu"
KOdhai:" then go to,,,,"
Sarathy, waves his hand to her saying do not talk. He then uses the sign language to let her know that the network might be compromised.
kOdhai smiles, and walks to her CD collection, Picks, MS Subbulakshmi's rendition of Muthuswami dikishithar kritis. She puts that on the Bose Stereo.
Sarathy is confused and as usual gets irritated, "What the heck is that for?".
PolicekAr listens to the start of the AlApana. It is in BrindAvana SarangA. Turns to Sarathy, and sings, "Nalla peNmaNi ivaL nalla peNmaNi". He then takes his blacke berry and opens an application and points the device to the videophone. There is the name of the song. Sarathy reads, it says " Ranga pura vihArA".
Looks on the video phone, kOdhai is standing near a picture of Rama pattAbhishek(am) poster. He looks at her, she nods.
He says "ok dear, ciao" to kOdhai and disconnects te cal. Looks at policekAr,
"saar, lets do this, find how long it will take us to reach the brindavan mutt of Ragavendra in Rangavendrapuram in Srirangam". I need to reach there and get to talk to the famous, vet doc, Dr.Seetha rAmanAthan. Her two sons, twins, are freinds of kOdhai.
PolicekAr, by then is already in google maps looking for the place, "The fastest way is NH45 and about 7 hours. On the way we can get some loads of ice. Don't worry"

The priced Kois are moved out of the pond through the outlet to the sleeping tank where they usually are left in the night.
Arun icecream bags are brought in and slowly each Koi is treated for stress and taken into the Icecream van.
Inside the restaurant, the triads are unaware of this. They are still waiting for the japan scientist gang negotiation with their boss. There seems to be a bit delay in the yen-INR transactions. The servers at the european countries are choking up with the gold transactions.
Inside the truck, the videophone rings. The driver Parthasarathy picks up. Sathish is on the line.
Sathish: Part! what is the status?
Part: oy pardner! the Kois are being brought in and are treated for stress. Are you outside somewhere?
Sat: That is another story by itself. Well! what is our next step?
Part: hmmmm.... I think we have to move these fish into a safer place. There is bound to be some chase by the triads. I overheard them saying some yen-INR problem at their den. Looks like they are trying to transfer these Kois to Tokyo.
Sat: you are the expert with Koi and driving. Good that you went to a vet school and also took cargo van driving lessons while I landed in Food technology and detective work. PK is here with me. Do you need any info from him?
Part: hmmm! oy PK! do me a favuh will ya? can ya check what would be the most likely route that the triads will take? Get on to the eavesdropper app and connect it to any line that talks of tokyo machili or tokyo meena or muthu. Mostly these are the code words they wil be using.
PK: Tokyo Meena and Muthu? oh because of the movie? that should be it. I was checking the app a little while ago and there was Tokyo Meena.

To all making this script so interesting...hats off...i haven't laughed so much in a long long time.. I don't understand Tamizh so looks like i missed out on some very entertaining parts but honestly.....i am looking forward to see what turn this script takes...
Kuzhaiyadi Mami:
Samita infact I wanted to carry on with the script but komban(oor makklaL #3) has made the script so techie that only Shankar (Director of Rajni movie yanthiran) will be able to do or understand the script.
I am like Bharathi raja or cheran who wants to picturise a 'Desi' script with masala thrown here and there.
Sort of 'Quick Gun Murugan'
Komban(oor Makkal #3) to himself: little do these folks know that the story is real and is still happening.
And then continues the story,
hmm yenga vuttaen ? ah! the triads are in a dilemma. They saw that the fish have suddenly vanished from the pond. Their boss has not given the signal to proceed to the next step. Over at the TV there is a news coming up from CNN-IBN .
The Political Turmoil in JAPAN!!!!
After nearly half a century, people of japan have woken up for CHANGE. They have elected a new party.
At the bottom of the screen, in the rolling message, there is a flash news,
"TOKYO Meena is OK" .
The three guys, looking at each other, slowly try to move out of the restaurant. Somberi sees the waiter has disappeared as well.
while all this were happening PK returns to the restaurant and is inside the Icecream truck.
Vetti, contacts PK who is in the Arun truck. Signals him to leave immediately.
Outside, while the truck is about to reverse and move, Part sees a Red REVA starting as well. He speeds up, the Reva reverses as well. Part can see the cable that was charging the vehicle retracting. He thinks to himself , "hmm that reva might follow us for another 50 kms at least".

the triads squeezed themselves into the coupe( a two seater?). But the interior was modified. They had two compartments in the rear like a two cubbies(cubbies are lockers that the kindergartners have in the school in US) one had a small video camera with a provision for a hook up to internet. The other had a mini sharp shooter pistol.
The rear trim supported two holes to shoot, with the video and the rifle.
The steering wheel had lot more gadgets than one could think of. Other than the cruise control ( this is a switch that makes the car go at a constant speed without accelerating), there were buttons for communication,video on-off. The dashboard had a touch screen video monitor that gave both the GPS as well as videophone capability. There was also a button to throw electronic tracer bugs that gets stuck to any vehicle and can be monitored.
Sambhar on the driver seat was all set to follow. But what to follow? he tried ballrolling his blackberry to get the signal from the priced Kois microchip implants.
Vadivelu was squeezing in the rear trying to check if anyone was following them and as a sharpshooter was ready shoot the tyre of any vehicle that followed.

techie got ready. had to meet Indhiya Thattal at the airport. But alas after a lovely flight to the transit, with the european beer for dinner, and a wagamama lunch at the transit (sake and noodles), the techie roamed for about 3 hours and then took rest looking at the display for the Gate number. The alcohol had kicked in and he dozed off.
Over in Chennai at triplicane,
PK knocks on the door and when opened asks, "TN-009-12" is this motorcycle owner here?". The mother is more puzzled, "சதிஷ் மொடோட்சய்ச்லே ஆச்சே அது ?". (Satish mototcylcenA adhu?)
PK, "செங்கல்பட்டு பக்கத்துல இந்த மொடோர்ச்ய்குள் ஒரு அச்சி ....."( chengalpattu pakkathula indha motorcycle oru acci.....)
ஆஹ் சதிஷ் , அண்ணா சதீஷ்......! நம்ம சதீஷ் !"
EkAmberaeswaran: " officer! any bodies..?"
PK: "ஒன்னு செங்கல்பட்டு ஹோச்பிடல்லுல ...""
dAkshAyaNI: "இப்போவே போலாம் ..."
At chennai chengalpattu hospital.....
Entering into the hospital, the three PK,Dakshayini and ekamberaewaran approach the reception. PK shows his ID card and enquires,
"where is the accident(ed) body from the motorcycle incident?"
The receptionist, " Sir, Let me tell you something, There seems to be no body coming out of the accident If I am correct"
PK: "what, I was brought all the way here troubling these two only to find out that there was no body?"
Receptionist," Sir, Let me tell you one more thing, There is a note that says please ask the visitor for this incident to meet Dr.Danvantri, the hospital chief".
All three are escorted to Dr.Danvantri's office.
Dr.D: "A moment please!", over the phone, " alright dear! will talk to you later", to the four in front, " That was my daughter doing her medicine in Brown University"
The receptionist, "Chief, these people have come enquiring about the motorcycle accident"
Dr. D: "Oh! what a shameful incident in this hospital communication. Someone mistook me talking to my daughter, when I said "over my dead body". They mistook that as the motorcycle accident had a dead body. Anyways, there was no human dead body. there was a dog that had died though. Hit by a milk van and thrown towards the motorcycle."
At that time, Ekambaraeswaran cell phone rings. Dr.D ,"usually we do not allow cell phones in the hospital, but please go ahead this time".
Ekambareswaran on the cell, "Hello? Satish? oh you are ok and are in an old man's place? oh ok give me the address". To PK, "Sir, my son is in a old man's house and is giving the address, can you please note it down", hand over the cell to PK.
PK," Sathish? hey are you ok? No, they do not know yet. I will let them know when we come to meet you. Go ahead give me the address".
PK notes the address and then hands over the phone to EK.
EK, "என்ன , போடவா ? ஒஹ் அப்படியா ? சேரி சேரி நா அங்க வந்து பேசறேன் "
DakshAyani," என்னங்க , என்ன சொல்லறான் எம்பிள்ள ?"
EK, " அவன் ஒரு தாதா வீட்டுல இருகானம் . Address கொடுத்துருக n"
To PK, "What was sathish talking to you about"?
PK, "ஒண்ணும் இல்ல சார், நா சதீஷ் எல்லாம் ஒண்ணா வேலை செயிறோம் . you might not know about this."
They all go to the Thatha's house, and ring the bell once. there is no response, EK to DAkshAyani, " போம்மா , கொப்ஞ்சம் கதவ தட்டேன்".
DAkshAyani gets ready to knock on the door. And the Door opens. The old man stands in front of her. DAkshAyani cringes. The Old man puts a sorry face. When she was about to turn her back, the old man with a trembling voice,
"DAkshAyini , இன்னும் எத்தனை வருஷம் அப்பாவ கோச்சுக்க போற ?"
DAkshAyani" என்னக்கு முன்னாலே இருக்கிறது தக்ஷன் எண்குற தக்ஷினாமூர்த்தி , என்னோட அப்பா , 18 years முன்னாடி , என்ன ஒரேடிய விட்டுட்டா ".
EK, " Dakshi, can we please hear him out?, your son is there with him now"
dakshinAmoorthy, "மாப்பிள , அன்னைக்கு உங்கள பார்ட்டிக்கு கூப்பிடல அப்படீங்கற ஒரே காரணத்துக்காக கொசிண்டு போன அதே dAkshAyani, அதே கோவம் , கொஞ்சம் என்ன மன்னிசிடேன் சொல்ல சொல்லுங்கோ . என்னோட தலைகனம் எல்லாம் போயாச்சு . ஒடிஞ்சி போயிட்டேன் ".
dAkshAyani" நீங்க அன்னிக்கி என்னோட அப்பாவ ஒரு நல்ல மாமனார் ஸ்தானத்துல இருந்து உங்க மாப்பிள்ளையும் invite பண்ணி இருந்தா , இவளவு களம் வீணயிருகது. ஆன நீங்க தக்ஷன தானே nadandundaezL !"
at the background, "nee pAdhi nAn pAdhi kannae" streams, EK looks at dAkshAyini. dAkshAyini's anger sublimes with that look.
over at the restaurant.....
Road Podubavar:
Now comes quick gun murugan and in the back ground a theme song for the new sequel "THe Good,The bad and THe Idly" sounds.
So the QGM puts his hand in his pocket and pulls out a masal vadai and bites it cermoniously.
The calls his side kick "arre oh sambhar"
Nattuley enna nadakuthu?
Story So Far- Continues -- the plot brews
Links To: முன்னுரை (Introduction) | இதுவரை (Story So Far)
Techie thinks probably too many transactions so the site is well load balanced. But each transactions going to a different ISP? hmmm.. technically advanced and well thought but practically there is a swindling going on.
While he is looking deep into the javascript using firebug(techie uses only firefox for all of these detective snoops), there is a call in his blackberry. Looks at it, the call from sombaeri? why is he calling me ? is he not vacationing in India? a thought sweeps techie's minf. He knows. Both use tripit to exchange their whereabouts.
Sombeari: Techie, I need your help can you log on to the ISRO's ChandrayAn ?
Techie: hmmmmm! do I have the access? Let me check with PK.
On the other phone calls PK.
PK: என்ன techie பிடிசிடீன்களா ? soul pattern யாருதூனு ? (yenna techie pidiciteengaLA? soul pattern yArudhoonu?)
Techie: nah! there is something more important. Sombaeri is in chennai in a restaurant. He is asking me to access ChandrayAn. Can you send the permission cert? It is urgent
PK: Sombeari is here? well ok let us discuss that later. You need permission to access chandrayAn. Let me get the ISRO chief into conversation and we will vet that for you.
Techie: How mush time will that take?
PK: Say about 10 minutes
Techie: Sombeari is 10 mintues ok?
Sombeari: I do not know how long I would need. But need to scan a restaurant in chennai and I would need the laser on the moon to be switched on and pointed to this restaraunt. you can see where this call originated in our google map mashup.
Techie to PK: PK I do not have a lot of time. Make it as quick as possible.
PK: eventhough you are not an Indian by citizenship , you have been a great help in saving people in India.
Techie: Cut that out. get me ISRO chief's permission.
PL: Coming to the notepad and to your netbook credit card app.
Techie: Thanks.
Techie sends command to chandrayAn to instruct the laset on the moon to point to the restaurant. The scan is started.
Pan to Chennai....
Vetti: how do we get them all out?
Somberi: Looks like there are some in the crowd who are cringing to the Karaoke songs. I have been seeing that from the begining. They are at the tables that are prime numbers. Then there are some of them whose face become bright for old hindi songs. They are all at the tables which are multiples of five.
Vetti:
I did overhear two tables talkin about Michael Jackson.
Sombeari: How many have ordered for desert?
Vetti: Two tables.
Sombaeri: My guess is those cringing for karaoke songs would probably be more carnatic music lovers.
This is the plan. Let us go to those tables, and inform the demise of Mrs.D.K, PattammAL and let them know about the one in a chance telecast of her singing in concert. That will make them go back home.
For those talking about MJ. We will let them know of the special telecast of Jackson Five.
For those who have ordered desert, ask them to be outside the restaurant and serve them unlimited icecream. Call Arun of Arun icecreams and ask him to bring "HIS" truck with ice cream. Tell him the code phrase "வயற்றில் பறப்பது வெண்ணை ".("Vayatril parapadhu veNNAi".)
Let us get all of this done in the next 10 minutes.
Sombaeri's scanner blinks green. Looking into the eyepiece, the message runs as, scan completed. No bombs but.. the fish tank seems to be dirty, source of ammonia.
Techie, looks at his watch it is around 4.30PM. Looks at the new app shaping up. This is more of a twittersnoopy. He looked at the one done by the other guy for the Surface ( a rather new technology by the windows giant).
"I should have one of this gizmo", made a note to talk to soma if he ever gets a chance or probably to scotGu or nKothari.
hmm.,, time to go home, he thought. But have to settle some important issue. He also was finishing his temp handover of official duty to his colleague and manager.
He was simply amazed about India.
Here is a country which is loved by two distinct set of people. Just like the difference in love for Krishna between Radha and Meera.
The east indian guys and their first descendants love it from inside out. While many foreigners have started loving India from outside in.
He looked at the watch, have to meet IndhiyaThattal at the airport. He planned to do that the next day when on transit.
Came home and checked all items. All set. Went to the local Indian Restaurant and packed a takeout. The night was a little busy.
Pan to Chennai triplicane,
then...
At Triplicane, ekAmbareswaran was sitting with his violin to practice. His wife, dAkshAyini came with the coffee and then retorted.
violin கையுமா இருக்கேள் எப்ப பார்த்தாலும் , என்னவோ கண்டநாள் முதலாய் காதல் மாதிரி , அங்க கிரேட் musician passed away அப்படீன்னு news போயண்டிருக்கு த்வீயுல , கொஞ்சம் மரியாத வேண்டாமா அந்த departed soulukku ?"
("violin kaiyumA irukkaeL yeppa pArhAlum, yennavO kandanAL mudhalai kAdhal mAdhiri, anga great musician passed away appadeenu news poindirukku tvyula, Konjam mariyAdha vaendAma andha departed soulukku?")
ekAmbareswaran looked at her. He placed his violin on the right side, placed the bow to its right. Took the coffee sipped it. And then started to speak.
(
PO PO mAdiyula irukkura andha Sathish payana maedhuva drums vAsika sollu.")
dAkshAyini leaves the scene. When climbing up the stairs, she thinks over what her husband said and thinks how true. Satish's room seems to be locked. She looks puzzled. It has been three days since she has seen Satish. A two days getaway is something common with him but three days. Over in the tea stall nearby the neengaL kaetavai is going on, TMS is singing,
"pAl ooti vaLaratha kiLi.."
She thinks of Satish and her husband. A flashback of yesteryears, about 18 years back comes to her. Because of the spiral spinning, her head starts spinning....
There is a knock on the door downstairs. She looks at the security video feed from the entrance. it is PK.
Pan boston airport...

Let us get all of this done in the next 10 minutes.
Sombaeri's scanner blinks green. Looking into the eyepiece, the message runs as, scan completed. No bombs but.. the fish tank seems to be dirty, source of ammonia.
Sombaeri to Vetti: You have not cleaned the fishtank.
Vetti: illayAE! I asked the boy to do it yesterday. மணிவண்ணா ( maNivaNNA )?
maNivaNNan: yes sir!
Vetti: Fishtank clean பன்னால (paNNala )?என்ன வெண்ணை திருடின மாதிரி முழிக்கிற( yenna Vennai thirudinA mAdhiri muzhikkira )?
maNivaNNan looks at the fish tank puzzled. No I did that yesterday. Looks like today is not my day. Looks like I have done so many bad things today. I better get back to gokulam our milk shed. Have to feed the cows.
maNivaNNan leaves the scene. Sombaeri looks at the fish tank again, there is a sudden burst of turbidity from the gravel and one of fish is struggling to survive.
Sombeari: hmmm! could it be that?
Sombeari looks at the wall clock, the red blinking light has stopped blinking. He then looks at the tank the blinking light has stopped blinking there as well. About twenty seconds later, the lights have again started to blink. No bubbles from the gravel.
Sombaeri: Vetti, do you have the water testing kit? Check for the ammonia in the tank. But be careful, do not do not cover the blinking red light.
Vetti, tests the water. " Oh NO! high amounts of ammonia. Let me take the Kois out first. Already a japanese tourtist was trying to pay an enormous price for this but I said NO".
Sombeari,looks around, there is a waiter who is about 5 ft 11 inches tall walking around. By now most of the customers have gone for their desert but the waiter still seems to serve someone. With a huge serving plate each time he goes near Table number 4, he raises the plate a little bit over his head. And at each time there is a security video camera that does a recording.
Sombaeri to Vetti: Do you have security cameras in this room?
Vetti: Yes, but it is not a security camera alone, it is also used to do a live video feed on our website. As a promotional video. Usually it is operated with a timer to switch on when there is a good crowd.
Sombaeri: Not anymore. It is recording only when someone goes near Table number 4. Was there a new waiter enrolled in your restaurant?
Vetti: Well ! the waiter's guild outsources it. Based on our requirements they bring in people for a fixed price.It is good for me as well. I do not have to deal with HR issues for hiring and firing.
Sombaeri: Is there any way they are CORI checked?
Vetti: CORI?
Sombaeri: sorry! that is only done in the US. What is the equivalent here? Ah kind of background check.
Vetti: I think the outsourced company does that.
Sombaeri: Call the guild president at once and find the outsourcing company.
Sombaeri to Techie: Need another favor. Can you see the viewership on www.vayitrukkuBuvAh.com
Techie: will do. Looks like something is brewing
over in triplicane, at his home, ekAmbareswaran, the renowned violinist is readying for his 100th concert. He is not perturbed by the great loss to carnatic music.
pan to boston...
Techie, looks at his watch it is around 4.30PM. Looks at the new app shaping up. This is more of a twittersnoopy. He looked at the one done by the other guy for the Surface ( a rather new technology by the windows giant).

ekAmbareswaran looked at her. He placed his violin on the right side, placed the bow to its right. Took the coffee sipped it. And then started to speak.

Story So Far- Continues -- the first leaves of the plot
Links To: முன்னுரை (Introduction) | இதுவரை (Story So Far)
oor Makkal #3:
The techie went into his library, which did have a big magnifying glass, a class of its own. While trying to find the sole print he stumbled upon an evidence.
A piece of charcoal wrapped in an age old line printer(the printers they use with mainframes) printed paper. It looked like some important data. suddenly an idea? But the idea bulb took time to become bright. Hmm he thought while it saves the earth to have spiral bulbs it does take time to become bright he thought.
The idea was data mining. ( Coal and the printed data gave the idea). So he went back to the other computer in the library. This one was connected over VPN on to a datamining application. He logged in, selected sole prints, as the category. Then placed the 2D sole print that he had made a copy on a 3d imager. The image got scanned and appeared in the app. With that as the source, he sent a command to search. The minor, that was the app's name, started mining and dredging and came with a data grid that had,
1)A list of people with that kind of shoes
2)Their financial status
3)Probable current locations
The techie did a search within the search with the probable location set to chennai. The result was filtered and came up with finances in UK and in Some other cities in India.
Techie logged off from minor and switched off the computer. Came out of his library, it was 9:00pm and the evening was still bright as 7:00 PM in New England.
The evening had a glow. Another bulb lit up. Another idea.
He knew who would know more about finances in UK. IndhiyAThattal was the codename of his friend.
The techie called IndhiyAthattal ,a man of billion dollar ideas. IndhiyAThattal,IT, said call me in private from the airport.
....
Pan to chennai..
In Chennai....
The restaurant manager comes to the family of four.
"You look very familiar" he says. "where have I seen you?".
The girl says," u tube?". The manager replies, "No! I am Venkatachalam Edward Tirupathi Taib Iswaran, in short, VETTI is my name".
"But I still cannot put you guys in perspective!" says the manager.
Just then the lights go dim. No one none, zilch are actually thinking. The Daddy, tries hard and says to the manager,
"I suggest you have a generator". Just then the lights turn on.
They, the daddy and the manager look at each other, once, takes their eyes away from each other and then again they look at each other. Over at the Karoake bar, someone had selected
"Andha nAL nyAbagam,
nenjilae vandhadhae,
naNbanae, nanbaNae, nanbaNae"
"நீ நீ நீங்க சோம்பேறி தானே ?" ("nee nee neenga SOMbaeri thAnae?"), the manager asks the dad. The mom looks quizzed and angry. None other than she knew the truth about her husband in that location.
The daddy: ""ஆமா , சோம்பேறி தான் (AmA, SOMBAERI thAn ), Somasundaram Baskaran Edward Riaz Iswaran". நீ நீ நீங்க , உங்க பெரு வெட்டி அப்படீனா சொன்னீங்க (Nee nee neenga, unga paeru vetti appadeenA sonneenga )?
The Background music changes to "YAdOn ki bArAt" title song.
The eyes of the manager and the dad becomes cloudy and then slowly, there are drops of water falling on the carpet, the boy looks up there is no rain. It is from dad and manager's eyes.
டேய் வெட்டி (Daey Vetti ) shouts the dad, டேய் சோம்பேறி (dei sombaeri ) shouts the manager.
The mom cringes. The whole restaurant is in pin drop silence. The karaoke stopped. The daddy and the manager go to the karaoke bar. They both start where the song stopped.
The triads are happy that the exact distraction they wanted has happened. On the other table, a jackfruit falls into a glass of milk. Gurkha looks at Rubber singh, says,
"இத்தான் , பலம் நழுவி பாலுல வில்லுறது (iththAn , palam naluvi pAlula villuradhu ), samajgayA"
iththAn , palam naluvi pAlula villuradhu
Pan to Boston...
then....
Something is amiss, thinks the techie. The finances route is good catch but is it the "Deadliest Catch"? he wonders.
"Deadliest Catch?" it looks more like "Dirty Jobs" or "cash cab". Techie is proud how his tireless watching of discovery channel is helping him.
"cash Cab"? That makes the techie think about the secret bank account that he is given where there is loads and loads of money, electronically speaking. This account is what is connected to the "Visa to Masterly Chase and Discover Credit Card Scams' or V2MC&DCCS app in short. This is the Credit Card that has a lot of fake money and is used to track credit card number stealers. It does need a huge database for logging, something to the effect of "Extreme Loggers".
He switches his netbook on, starts V2MC&DCCS, and scans the RIM servers world wide to check for the the blackberry, PK used. He found that and looked for any e-commerce website that the blackberry used. There was one,
"Ha! here is one", the techie said loudly, The website was called, www.உங்கல்கனவுகல்போகம்.com, an e-commerce site that lures a lot of hit on some days when there is huge gold purchase in India. There are also huge transactions going into the site. He goes to that website, looks pretty good. Other than many things, Gold can be purchased at a 25% lower than the market price.
"Something is not correct. Why do I feel uncomfortable?" the techie thinks. Not because of the chinese tofu curry he had at a send -off party.
No.
So he does a view source on the website( got to bring the hrml context here), hmmmmm.... The submit button has a javascript. Looks ok he thinks, but looks at the code logic,
WHAT? the credit card number the users type in are diverted to WWW.KANAVUGALBOGUS.com
Looks at the website address and does a reverse lookup. The IP address is in Bosnia. No heavy regulations. Looks again, the IP is now changed to Russia.
"Oh" he thinks this site is mirroring from several servers. Each transaction routes to a different server.
Pan to Chennai..
Then
After there good rendition(let us give the benefit of the doubt) vetti and sombeari get a rousing applause.
Vetti: It is like, as though the waves were lovingly crashing on the banks.
Sombeari:It feels more like the summer breeze is making the flowers dance in Boston.
When the applause stopped or did it, there was still one clapping pair of hands.They looked around it was vadivel. He finally stopped clapping. They whole restaurant floor was silent and yet there was a ticking noise.
Having been playing, robber and thief in their childhood, both vetti and sombaeri looked at each other. They have been the detective and the assistant in thoes games. Vetti took the fake pipe sombaeri used to have in his mouth in those games.
Sombaeri: You still carry that with you?
Vetti : Mr.Holmes welcome back, it could have been no better to have such an ho(l)m(e)coming.
Sombari: Thank you Watson.
Both look into each others eyes.
Vetti: Sombeari! do not move your eyes.
Sombari: That is what I wanted to tell you.
Vetti sees a blinking red sport in sombeari's eyes.
Vetti: Somebeari, Is your left eye bionic?
Sombeari: Is your right eye bionic?
both together, NO
Sombeari: Hold on,do not move.
Sombeari turns around, he is not able to see anything other than a silveplate hanging on the opposite wall. Turns towards vetti, the left eye has the red light blinking.
Vetti: Are you thinking what I am thinking?
Sombaeri: yes, the restaurant is booby trapped. Let me get the spy scanner gizmo my son has. It is a night visio apparatus that can also detect the sources of the blinking light.
Sombeari goes to his table, takes his son's backpack pull out the nightvision goggles. The wife smells something fishy. She looks around wondering how come fish smell come in a vegetarian place. Sombaeri looks into her eyes. She pulls her credit card, there is an inline message coming from the digital photo,
It says, "this place is trapped, help me get all the customers out - sombeari" . The message flashes three times.
The wife takes her other credit card, calls for the check(bill) pays a 20% gratuity over the bill. And also places a Rs.500 on the waiter's hand.
The waiter being so happy, escorts the family out. While going out, the waiter asks quizically,
"Madam, unga husband varaliyA?"
Wife: அவரு நண்பன பாதுடறோலியோ!, அவளவுதான் .("Avaru naNbana pAthutOrOliyO!, avaLavuthAn.) He knows this city well. He will come on his own after some pub hopping".
Sombaeri, scans the whole room. He identifies, four blinking spots. One inside the fish tank, One on the long hand of the wall clock. The other two on two opposite walls, just above Table number 4, at around 6 ft from the floor.
Vetti and sombeari looks around, There are no six footers in the crowd.
Sombaeri: We cannot make the customers run. Let us slowly get the customers out of this place. One table at a time. Do it from table 25 near the exit.
Pan to Boston..

The minor, that was the app's name, started mining and dredging and came with a data grid that had,
1)A list of people with that kind of shoes
2)Their financial status
3)Probable current locations
The techie did a search within the search with the probable location set to chennai. The result was filtered and came up with finances in UK and in Some other cities in India.
Techie logged off from minor and switched off the computer. Came out of his library, it was 9:00pm and the evening was still bright as 7:00 PM in New England.
The evening had a glow. Another bulb lit up. Another idea.
He knew who would know more about finances in UK. IndhiyAThattal was the codename of his friend.
The techie called IndhiyAthattal ,a man of billion dollar ideas. IndhiyAThattal,IT, said call me in private from the airport.

Pan to chennai..
In Chennai....
The restaurant manager comes to the family of four.
"You look very familiar" he says. "where have I seen you?".
The girl says," u tube?". The manager replies, "No! I am Venkatachalam Edward Tirupathi Taib Iswaran, in short, VETTI is my name".
"But I still cannot put you guys in perspective!" says the manager.
Just then the lights go dim. No one none, zilch are actually thinking. The Daddy, tries hard and says to the manager,
"I suggest you have a generator". Just then the lights turn on.
They, the daddy and the manager look at each other, once, takes their eyes away from each other and then again they look at each other. Over at the Karoake bar, someone had selected
"அந்த நாள் ஞாபகம் ,
நெஞ்சிலே வந்ததே ,
நண்பனே , நண்பனே , நண்பனே "
"Andha nAL nyAbagam,
nenjilae vandhadhae,
naNbanae, nanbaNae, nanbaNae"
"நீ நீ நீங்க சோம்பேறி தானே ?" ("nee nee neenga SOMbaeri thAnae?"), the manager asks the dad. The mom looks quizzed and angry. None other than she knew the truth about her husband in that location.
The daddy: ""ஆமா , சோம்பேறி தான் (AmA, SOMBAERI thAn ), Somasundaram Baskaran Edward Riaz Iswaran". நீ நீ நீங்க , உங்க பெரு வெட்டி அப்படீனா சொன்னீங்க (Nee nee neenga, unga paeru vetti appadeenA sonneenga )?
The Background music changes to "YAdOn ki bArAt" title song.
The eyes of the manager and the dad becomes cloudy and then slowly, there are drops of water falling on the carpet, the boy looks up there is no rain. It is from dad and manager's eyes.
டேய் வெட்டி (Daey Vetti ) shouts the dad, டேய் சோம்பேறி (dei sombaeri ) shouts the manager.
The mom cringes. The whole restaurant is in pin drop silence. The karaoke stopped. The daddy and the manager go to the karaoke bar. They both start where the song stopped.
The triads are happy that the exact distraction they wanted has happened. On the other table, a jackfruit falls into a glass of milk. Gurkha looks at Rubber singh, says,
"இத்தான் , பலம் நழுவி பாலுல வில்லுறது (iththAn , palam naluvi pAlula villuradhu ), samajgayA"
iththAn , palam naluvi pAlula villuradhu
Pan to Boston...
then....
Something is amiss, thinks the techie. The finances route is good catch but is it the "Deadliest Catch"? he wonders.
"Deadliest Catch?" it looks more like "Dirty Jobs" or "cash cab". Techie is proud how his tireless watching of discovery channel is helping him.
"cash Cab"? That makes the techie think about the secret bank account that he is given where there is loads and loads of money, electronically speaking. This account is what is connected to the "Visa to Masterly Chase and Discover Credit Card Scams' or V2MC&DCCS app in short. This is the Credit Card that has a lot of fake money and is used to track credit card number stealers. It does need a huge database for logging, something to the effect of "Extreme Loggers".
He switches his netbook on, starts V2MC&DCCS, and scans the RIM servers world wide to check for the the blackberry, PK used. He found that and looked for any e-commerce website that the blackberry used. There was one,
"Ha! here is one", the techie said loudly, The website was called, www.உங்கல்கனவுகல்போகம்.com, an e-commerce site that lures a lot of hit on some days when there is huge gold purchase in India. There are also huge transactions going into the site. He goes to that website, looks pretty good. Other than many things, Gold can be purchased at a 25% lower than the market price.
"Something is not correct. Why do I feel uncomfortable?" the techie thinks. Not because of the chinese tofu curry he had at a send -off party.
No.
So he does a view source on the website( got to bring the hrml context here), hmmmmm.... The submit button has a javascript. Looks ok he thinks, but looks at the code logic,
WHAT? the credit card number the users type in are diverted to WWW.KANAVUGALBOGUS.com
Looks at the website address and does a reverse lookup. The IP address is in Bosnia. No heavy regulations. Looks again, the IP is now changed to Russia.
"Oh" he thinks this site is mirroring from several servers. Each transaction routes to a different server.
Pan to Chennai..
Then
After there good rendition(let us give the benefit of the doubt) vetti and sombeari get a rousing applause.
Vetti: It is like, as though the waves were lovingly crashing on the banks.
Sombeari:It feels more like the summer breeze is making the flowers dance in Boston.
When the applause stopped or did it, there was still one clapping pair of hands.They looked around it was vadivel. He finally stopped clapping. They whole restaurant floor was silent and yet there was a ticking noise.
Having been playing, robber and thief in their childhood, both vetti and sombaeri looked at each other. They have been the detective and the assistant in thoes games. Vetti took the fake pipe sombaeri used to have in his mouth in those games.
Sombaeri: You still carry that with you?
Vetti : Mr.Holmes welcome back, it could have been no better to have such an ho(l)m(e)coming.
Sombari: Thank you Watson.
Both look into each others eyes.
Vetti: Sombeari! do not move your eyes.
Sombari: That is what I wanted to tell you.
Vetti sees a blinking red sport in sombeari's eyes.
Vetti: Somebeari, Is your left eye bionic?
Sombeari: Is your right eye bionic?
both together, NO
Sombeari: Hold on,do not move.
Sombeari turns around, he is not able to see anything other than a silveplate hanging on the opposite wall. Turns towards vetti, the left eye has the red light blinking.
Vetti: Are you thinking what I am thinking?
Sombaeri: yes, the restaurant is booby trapped. Let me get the spy scanner gizmo my son has. It is a night visio apparatus that can also detect the sources of the blinking light.
Sombeari goes to his table, takes his son's backpack pull out the nightvision goggles. The wife smells something fishy. She looks around wondering how come fish smell come in a vegetarian place. Sombaeri looks into her eyes. She pulls her credit card, there is an inline message coming from the digital photo,
It says, "this place is trapped, help me get all the customers out - sombeari" . The message flashes three times.
The wife takes her other credit card, calls for the check(bill) pays a 20% gratuity over the bill. And also places a Rs.500 on the waiter's hand.
The waiter being so happy, escorts the family out. While going out, the waiter asks quizically,
"Madam, unga husband varaliyA?"
Wife: அவரு நண்பன பாதுடறோலியோ!, அவளவுதான் .("Avaru naNbana pAthutOrOliyO!, avaLavuthAn.) He knows this city well. He will come on his own after some pub hopping".
Sombaeri, scans the whole room. He identifies, four blinking spots. One inside the fish tank, One on the long hand of the wall clock. The other two on two opposite walls, just above Table number 4, at around 6 ft from the floor.
Vetti and sombeari looks around, There are no six footers in the crowd.
Sombaeri: We cannot make the customers run. Let us slowly get the customers out of this place. One table at a time. Do it from table 25 near the exit.
Pan to Boston..
