Ritu (ഋതു)

Hello. Tell me. Where? From the airport?

What time is the flight?

What time is it there now? Okay.

Here? Here it's 11.30.

You'll arrive tomorrow evening, won't you?

Vila Dubai, right?

Don't worry. I'll join you on Wednesday.

I have already confirmed it, right?!

Yeah! I am at a party.

No, it's not my farewell party.

Just my usual friends usual place!

Okay, Sarat. See you later!

Safe journey. Take care.

Sunny! Tell me.

What do you have in Kerala?

Why the hell do you want to go back, huh?

Damn his nostalgia!

What if your childhood friend wants to start a business!

It's your life man!

Refuse to go. If you don't want to!

No, I need to go too!

Don't know when the situation here will become adverse.

More than that. New challenges. New venture.

Come on, give me a fag.

I had told him that...

I would join after six months,

...but he was so insistent.

I could have finished this project and then joined, you guys.

Yeah, at last I managed.

My boss is a sweet heart, man.

Yeah. No. It's nothing like what you you think. Okay?

It's just purely professional!

All fun happens after office hours, okay?

Is this Akash?

No. Must be Naveen.

Naveen. Who?

That Infosys guy at Pankaj's party.

Him... She managed to do so?

Yeah, what did you think?

Hey. Pay my regards to Naveen.

It's not him.

No forget it.

lf we don't call him when he reaches here he'll get very upset.

It must be Rohit that mallu guy!

Him!

So by Wednesday.

Mother wasn't too happy to know that you are not going home directly.

It's my company's flat, Jinah.

Thought of leaving my luggage there and then going home.

Have you left America for good?

Yes.

That's good.

I have read in newspapers that America is facing grave crisis.

All the companies are in loss, aren't they?

There's no such problem in my company.

That's not why I returned.

May be Mr. Varma has found a girl for you.

It's not that.

I want to start a new company.

The situations here are favorable.

I also have a couple of good friends here.

Besides, everyone must return one day.

Yeah its true.

Only the old friends will be there forever.

Stop there. Don't run...

Sarat! Close your eyes!

Here's presenting our gift to you for your US trip!

I'm not really interested.

Why?

Will come back as soon as I can.

Don't be silly. Just have fun. That is what you should to do.

It's because ofmy brother in-law's coaxing to join in his company in San-Jose.

He is always traveling to Europe and China.

This way, he gets a baby sitter for his kids without having to pay a fee.

That's why.

I am also leaving to Bangalore.

My friends say that it's more fun there than in California.

I invited her too! But she refuses to go with me.

It seems her mother wouldn't grant permission.

And she's going to do M-Tech! Idiot!

Mom's alone at home. That's why.

Dad?

He isn't coming back.

He had called to wish me on my birthday.

Dad. He has a girl friend there.

A blonde! Shiyara. Nice name, isn't it?

Now he doesn't need this obsolete daughter and wife.

Unaware of all this, she just lives through with her prayers...

What do I say to her?

Why do all these awful things happen only to us?

Why are you getting so disturbed over this?

How does it matter whether or not he's around?

Forget him! We are here by your side!

Okay.

Don't you want to see our gift?

For your successful US trip!

We thought, you could save your dollars.

Besides, you can't borrow from your brother-in-law for these purposes.

USA!

Here comes Sarat Varma!

Hey! Wassup?! What's happening?

Look who's here!

Well. You haven't hanged a bit man not a bit!

But you guys have changed a lot.

Look at how both of you have transformed!

Will tell that entire story later.

Now tell me where the toilet is.

I can't bear it anymore!

You are still the same old joker.

Through that door and then on the left.

He kept repeating this in the auto.

Listening to him I too felt liking peeing. Stupid!

Well 3 years, right?

Yeah!

Really missed you. I mean you both.

Just a minute.

Yes, I'm alright. Yeah, I reached.

I'm with a friend here. An old friend.

Hey, can I call you back later?

Please? Yeah. I'll call you back.

Yeah. Of course. You know I'll call, okay?

I will Ok. I'll call you back. I will. Yeah.

I agree that it's a chain restaurant.

But if you look at how the toilet is managed.

It's not surprising that my friends ask what we have here in Kerala.

Parotta and beefis the only good thing we have here!

Yeah, right. Didn't you grow up here feeding on Eethapathiri and Chammanthi?

Buddy, when is this city going to progress?

It irritates me when I see a group of Keralites.

You've become a 'metro-sexual' now!

You should not have been born here!

What?

Yeah.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!

Yeah! Surprise!

What's this?

iPod! Yes! Thanks man!

Thanks!

Now, let us get down to business.

Zarina. Zarina Balagopal.

Hey! Listen.

She heads Zybo-a start up company.

She is expecting us. Let us finish off that formality first.

Okay, Sunny?

Okay! Now that we have already taken your bribe.

We have no other choice!

Let us march to the techno city!

I had asked Christina,

get me the best coffee that you can get for my young friends here.'

Wow! It's amazing!

Thanks Sunny. In fact,

this coffee comes straight from Mexico.

This is De La Manch, a special kind of coffee...

...that the Latin American dictators used to drink.

How's it Varsha?

Mmm. Great!

Sarat? - It's nice!

Ah! Reached just in time!

Sunny, Sarat, Varsha.

This is Balu my friend,

guide philosopher and my life partner, Balagopal.

Balu, this is the team I spoke to you about.

Sarat is from Silicon Valley,

Sunny and Varsha were with Infosys.

In Bangalore.

Our star team.

Great congratulations!

Balu, remember Jagan in US?

Sarat is his brother-in-law.

Sarat Varma.

Oh! You are Rama Varma, the famous writer's son?

He translates. Bengali novels to Malayalam.

He has received a lot of awards.

Sarat, do you write?

Trying to.

The only books that I read are management manuals.

Now, as I am on the board of directors...

...for Internet city, I don't have time for anything.

It's only over weekends that we get to meet.

Sunny, more coffee?

Yeah. Why not? The coffee is great!

Balu, please ask Christina for some more coffee.

Sure. See you guys.

Let us come to the point.

When do you plan to join?

Kuttan has come.

Had reached the day before yesterday, right?

Great! She was the most anxious!!

Company had taken a flat it's like a guesthouse...

I went there straight and left the luggage there.

I had to do a few things all these days, that's why.

Has brought a few books.

It's Pesova, right? The Book of Disquiet'.

They discovered this book from his trunk 50 years after the death.

He is the one who wrote that...

...there are many individuals in a single being genius!

Each of us is many Can't remember.

May be because you are too young!

The only thing missing is a suit, right?

Then I will be a complete gentleman.
