Thavamai Thavamiruntu (தவமாய் தவமிருந்து)

Doctor says head injury.

Still unconcious.

I'm scared.

Faster.

Your brother came yesterday,

and asked to sell that village house.

Father-in-law is upset since then.

Don't worry & have faith.

Is your father alive? - Yes sir.

How old is he? - 60 years old.

What was he doing? - He was a porter in Railways.

I've two brothers and a sister.

He got us all married and settled in our lives.

Sir, my father is responsible for my growh today.

FATHER! This magic word has immense power.

To lead the first 25 years of one's life,

father, the divine soul makes innumerable sacrifices.

Very few people realise their father's pain.

Most of them don't get a chance to know his goodness.

Father is everything.

It took many years to understand my father's value,

and realise his importance.

I came to this world just like any other child.

I too had same feelings which you all had.

I was born in the year 1970, December 12th.

It was 1st day of my relationship with my father.

I'm the 2nd son to my father.

My grandpa's name is Ramaiah.

In his remembrance, I was named Ramalingam,

and my elder brother Ramanathan..

Have it.- Okay father.

Have it.

Ramalingam, take care and have your lunch on time.

Hubby, you better go to his school in the noon and feed him.

Don't worry. I'll take care.

My father studied up to 8th class.

Since he didn't study well, he wanted us to study well.

Since teaching was very poor in our village,

he got us admitted in the town school.

My father was running a Printing Press.

Both family & educational expenses were met by the press.

Are you going to the town school? - Yes grandma.

Study well.

Father, still howfar is the school?

There is a big school near our printing press.

Great men have studied there.

I'm going to admit you also there. - Okay father.

You should study well and reach great heights.

Will you? - I'll father.

Worship our family deity.

Pray that you should go safely and study well,

and you should be hale & healthy.

Oh God! Protect us.

Father, in which school did our god study?

He isn't educated. He is our creator.

He is our Protector.

Then is he an uneducated, stupid god?

Oh No! You shouldn't talk like this, dear.

Elder son, what will you become after studying?

I'll become a Police man!

What about you, dear?

I'll become a thief!

Oh No! Thief?!

If brother is police, then I've to be a thief to play with him.

Everyday we're playing that game only.

That is for fun..

But in reality, you both should study well,

and your brother should become a Collector,

and you should become a Doctor!

Only then, I'll be happy!

Okay. I'll become a Doctor!

I'll give injections..

Father, give it to me.. give it to me..

Father, first give it to me..

Wait..I'll give it to both of you.

Have it.. you have this..

Who wrote Thirukural? - Thiruvalluvar.

Tell the name of the great poet who has a big moustache & turbun.

Bharathiyar.

Who got independence to India?

Mahatma Gandhi.

Okay. Repeat what I say..

If you're born, you should be a praiseworthy person.

If you're born, you should be a praiseworthy person.

Or else, it's better to remain inborn.

Even if others do bad to you,

Even if others do bad to you,

Doing good to them..

Doing good to them..

..will make them feel small.

..will make them feel small.

Dear, what is it called? - 'Thirukural'.

Yes. Who wrote this?

Father, my buttocks..

What?

Father, my buttocks is paining..

Oh no! Just a minute..

Elder son, please hold this..

It's paining..

Wait.. wait a minute..

It will become alright now..

It's paining.. - It's okay now, isn't it?

Don't cry..

Ramalingam, don't cry. It'll be okay.

Now it's okay, isn't it?

Don't fight with anyone..

you should get a good name, okay?

Both of you should study well.

Don't forget to feed your brother in the afternoon.- Okay father.

Father, bye..bye..

Azhagiri, take that ink pot.

Good for nothing!

Azhagiri, I've found the letter, T'.

You have yourtea.

Have it..

You have..

Have it with the tea..

After eating, do your home work if you have.

Or else, study.. - Okay father.

Let's go home after finishing my work. Okay?-Yes.

Why did you get them admitted in such a big school?

Now you're suffering a lot, aren't you?

When I grow old,

to look after me, I've to educate them well.

Govt. Schools have poor education.

As you sow, so you reap, right?

They are the ones who are going to look after me in future!

They shouldn't blame us, should they?

Do we have to spend so much for learning English?

Our great leader Kamaraj didn't study in big school, did he?

He ruled our country, didn't he?

It's strange!

Boss, tea..

Keep it there..

Tea..

Keep it there.

Shouting for giving a bad tea!

Younger son, we'll reach home soon.. don't sleep..

My father has bought a gun for me!

Here it goes..

We've little of everything.

Elder son asked for pudding.

So buy dhaal.

Younger son asked for sweet cutlet.

I've big list of things to buy..

Father, all are bursting crackers. When will you buy us crackers?

Father, Balu has bought a new gun.. When will you buy me one?

I'll go to work & while coming back, I'll buy everything for you! Okay?

Elder son wants new clothes, gun and crackers.- Okay..

This hero wants new clothes and crackers,

and atom bombs..lakshmi crackers and what more you want?- Hey..

Time bomb..- Hey stop! Talking about atom bombs..

You shouldn't burst atom bombs, okay?

It's very dangerous.

I'll buy cape, flower pots, chakras, sparkling lights for you.

Okay father. - Go and play..

Be careful!

After knowing my financial position, you should give them hope.

You're giving a big list in front of them..

Won't they feel sad, if I don't buy them all?

Every festival is expensive! Who else will buy then?

Don't we have to fulfill our children's wish?

When neighbours burst crackers, will they simply watch?

They will demand us to buy for them also.

Near the mountain..

I dried pulses..

Before gathering those pulses..

I heard the sound of drum in the market!

O Pointer! Where did you lay eggs?

I laid eggs in the black mountain..

I laid 4 legs..

3 chicks hatched.

I laid 4 eggs..

3 chicks hatched.

For the 1st chick,

I went around 3 mountains looking for food.

I went around 4 mountains looking for food for the 2nd one.

When I went looking for food for the last one,

One hunter..

Oh no! One hunter..

One hunter aimed at me and trapped me..

One hunter aimed at me and trapped me..

My legs got trapped.

My wings fluttered..

Oh my dear ones! My tears rolled down like a river..

Elephant took bath in that river.

It became a pond and a horse took bath in that.

It became a lake and a bull took bath in that.

It became a ditch and a pig took bath in that.

Oh my dear ones!

Oh my dear ones! I'm dying now leaving you orphaned..

Oh poor bird! Stop crying..

Oh helpless bird! Stop crying..

Oh poor bird! Stop crying..

Oh helpless bird! Stop crying..

Net isn't a problem..

Net isn't a problem.

There are many ways to cut it!

Oh little bird! Stop crying..
