Immanuel (ഇമ്മാനുവൽ)

'Homage to Sri. Sukumari'

"lmmnuel - God resides in us"

"Paths... leading to alluring meadows"

"Those journeys reminding bygone fascinations"

"Setting out golden flames... Removing our darkness..."

"Enclosed windows on all sides"

"Let's unlock doors of future"

"Paving the dawn of prosperity and austerity to enter"

"Leading a sublime life on Earth... droplets flow abundantly"

"As new born clouds"

Pappa... ready...?

Ready! Let's start.

Once I tell action, papa you should come to the frame...

...and start dialogues.

Papa...?

What are you doing there?

One sec... let me finish off my dressing.

Ok ready... action!

You naughty! Where did you keep your tiffin box?

Mummy keep out of the frame!

Papa start rehersaling.

Hundred times I've told you to take care of your tiffin box.

Action papa!

It's been three months you have been fooling me.

I must get my salary today.

I'm very serious on my demand today, unlike other occasions.

Seriously.

Cut papa... Cut.

Wait! I'm not finished yet.

If you ask in this manner... I don't think you will get your salary today.

Then how should I ask?

Joseph uncle should me startled! On papa's questions.

He should be on toes.

Then try this one.

Immanuel is Hard nut to crack... Joseph you are still the same.

Just a show off in front of us.

Become as meek as a mouse... in front of Joseph.

Is it so Papa? - Never.

Immacha... Your favorite curry for lunch.

Same old crushed tomato curry?

Joseph'etten knows all your soft corners.

An old time relation... is it not?

He is going to corner you.

Work out on sentimental story of his deceased wife.

Just see.

If this doesn't work, threaten you showing sleeping pills bottle...

...and declare his suicide.

For sure he will be a prey to that plot.

Just wait and see I'll come with salary today.

Good! If you succeed.

Lucky I had a neck chain to tide over for three months.

House owner was here yesterday also.

Nothing more to pledge.

Last resort... only this wedding ring.

My god... Vehicle is here!

Hello How are you?

Fine.

Time has come to end this 'book worming' approach of

our education system.

We are creating 'Shallow' future generation.

Is it not?

Tell us how to overcome this?

Just get rid off test papers and assignments.

Let's go back to Gurukkul's system of education.

A new dimension... check EQ and IQ.

Help me with this.

Well... what is your education back ground?

I had enough of it...! on failing at fifth standard.

Oh! hooo... failed... and you preach big things eh?

Children are not good in studies.

Then what's the use of these EQ and IQ.

Hey Listen! Stop Chewing the fat!

Or else I'll stop sending my children in your vehicle.

Stopped once and for all... Today onwards.

Hallo... lmmanuel sir? Did you get your pay?

Haven't paid his rent?

Oh! Yea!

Then how did he come to know about my payment arrears?

You might've told him.

No I've not mentioned anything.

Get in.

Sir I've got some contacts with good 'quotation teams'

Lucky it's an off season now... Won't have to pay much.

Talk low! Disgrace... when my son's friends hear this.

They are all aware of this.

Your 'payment' topic is the talk of interest in this vehicle now.

Immanuel uncle you will definitely get your salary today.

Papa when I asked money for joining band class.

You said your salary is on wait.

That's why I didn't join band class.

More than that you've instructed me to tell the truth always.

Don't you worry man. I'll get my pay today.

Then you can join band class.

Promise? - Promise.

What happened sir? Not in full spirits this morning?

Be on action!

No big duties left over there to be in fun action.

Sir just be on the run. Good for health.

Are you mister Kerala to advice? Indeed a great macho man!

Immanuel... Good morning.

Susamma madam in her afternoon nap, foregoing all her surroundings...

...Shambu's nerves on fire, his trembling hands wafted on her navel

Like a beast bouncing on its prey,

Susamma got hold of Shambu in her hands.

Red bloomed lips of her's approached Shambu's ears

and whispered.

INQUILAB SINDABAD!

Oh! It's you... you spoiled Shambu's chance.

My dear Nambiar brother...

You are more than sixties get rid of this salacious writing.

Stop writing! This is my livelihood.

With the salary I get... hard to sustain.

Once your children and grandchildren comes to know this...

...will it not be a dis-respectful?

For what? I've been doing this for more than twenty years.

Even my wife is not aware of this.

What's the name of the story?

'Shambu's discreet arrows'

Carry on... l'll just go and meet Joseph Atten.

Don't go there. You will get pissed off with your life.

Most modern poet is inside. - Who? Shivan?

Yes indeed... 'Kannadikadu Shivan'

Never did I forget betrayal of Sakkunan.

Never did I notice circle of time fade at the horizon.

Poor Joseph Atten, What a pity!

Just because he owes some money to Shivan.

He has to hear all his crap literature.

Years back... he was the first person to hear

- Poems of legendary poets of Kerala.

Tarnished thoughts as clouds rolled over. (Like this)

Hey! Listen...

From here on poem takes a lighter tone.

With an added flavor of sentiments.

Had not the rain came...?

Had not the droplets came...?

Had not hurricane and clouds came...?

Had not the serpents and frogs came...?

But... Father not returned home.

My father not returned home.

My father not returned home.

How is it?

Marvelous... see these goose flesh!

This will fetch this year's 'Kerala's literary award'

My aim is not state... but 'central'

Why not. You will secure that also.

It's a classic.

Buddy if you are so fond of these. I'll give you some more.

Not required now.

These poems... not meant for closed circuits.

But for the whole world.

Let the world acknowledge you as a great poet.

So shall be...

Then what about the money you owe me.

Fast... Lots of work to do.

No. Don't allow me to repay this amount.

I won't. Let me take the pride...

...ln having a debt with a great world famous poet.

Allow me to take this privilege. Oh! Shivan... Bless me.

So... as you wish.

This is how creativity bonds to become a burden for poets.

Why lmmanuel... are you staring at me like this?

For poets doors are never a hindrance, always free at large.

Can you spare five minutes for me.

My latest work - 'Father not reached home'

Do you want to listen!

Immanuel... Poor witted person!

Who is this... lmmanuel... Did you post that order form?

No. Why is that so?

Because I don't intend to.

Am I an African slave to work without pay?

It's been three months now. Procrastinating my salary.

I showed some softness to you, don't try to take advantage of it.

Don't have the money at hand... Then how can I...?

Enough of your excuses. Don't want to listen to all these.

Today is the ultimatum... Don't put me to harsh stands.

I never expected you will point your fingers on me.

Many 'bust ones chops' for not paying their salary.

Not in my worst dreams.

Don't you know how much my wife loved you.

Often she used to tell...

Though we are childless. Immanuel is the fostered child born to her.

Enough of your stories. I need to get my pay now.

All right then... You want this month's salary is it not?

No. Three months pay. - Ok. Three months salary. Before that...

Is this the thing you are looking for?

Enough of your foul play.

You know better than me even if you don't pay I won't ask you.

Now if you don't pay me, I'm in a situation to take these sleeping pills.

Give it to me.

Don't play with these. Not for light hearted people like you.

Had enough of cheating the loved ones.

Here... take this.

Its 24 grams! Can pledge this or sell this

Be off with your worries.

Many say you don't have an attire of an owner.

Let it remain with you all I need is some kind of assurance.

I'll pay your salary tomorrow itself... for sure.

Tomorrow... l'm expecting a work.

Is it true? You mean all the three months.

Yes all the three months in full Believe me.
