Tamilselvanum Thaniyar Anjalum

'My name is Tamilselvan'

'B.A History'

'Flunked'

'With my bad grades, I knew I won't get a bank manager's post'

'But I had just 1 wish on my list'

'Don't we marry the girl we love?'

'Similarly my wish is to not get any damn job'

'But do what I really love'

'I don't belong to Chennai My home town is Thanjavur'

'I came here to work for a living'

'My parents are no more'

'My sister and brother-in-law are my whole world'

'I was born, brought up and educated here'

'This was my 1st job in Thanjavur'

'No one can ask me if I was not a rip roaring success'

'I ripped a lot to pieces!'

'I wanted to do the work of 10 people'

'But this work was handled by the 10 fingers of my hands'

'It's a cake walk even if you're blind'

'Or no electricity'

'To make envelopes'

'Quit your job in Thanjavur'

'Get a job worthy of your caliber in Chennai'

'So said my bro-in-law'

'A.C.Sakthivel'

'Looking at his build up or his groaning push-ups...'

'...if you think he is Suriya, hero of 'Kaaka Kaaka'

'...or 'Kamal Hassan' of 'Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu' fame'

'...I'm not responsible for your misconception'

'Because A.C.Sakthivel is an Air Condition mechanic'

There are various types of ACs

Window AC is like a wife

However noisy won't be heard outside

Will stick within the 4 walls of the house

Split AC is like a man

All the noise is strictly outside the house

Once inside silent and cool

Car AC is similar to a mistress

Can be switched on and off as and when the need arises

And when you don't need it just scoot and go about your job

Will take time to cool It's summer, right?

Did you call me, uncle?

Hereafter don't worry about not having a degree certificate

Be it a chartered accountant doctor, or engineer

Their original certificates will be in your hands

'A man can work like a machine'

'No harm at all'

'Nothing can be more torturous than watching a machine work'

'Actually I can't complain too much about this'

'If I start stamping in the morning...'

'...I have to go on with this stamping spree till nightfall'

You're stamping it cross-wise

You stamp right you get paid, right?

'His sarcasm is the final stamp!'

'My bro-in-law is hell bent on finding me a good job'

'But nothing good has turned up till date'

'Life does not have a set pattern'

'Sometimes the right time in a man's life...'

'...can set the pace for an elevated lifestyle'

'Just wait and watch'

'This U-turn will zoom in my life too'

'I will also be on a roll then'

'Everything depends on the right time'

India is surrounded by seas on 3 sides

But there is corruption on all 4 sides

Corruption is stifling Mother India's breath

You are selling votes

And politicians are selling our land

Mr Sathyamurthy is on TV

You can grind your 'chutney' later

Will Sathyamurthy's speech feed you when you're hungry?

Will you watch quietly gawking while your house is being sold?

Only a skilled doctor can save his patients

A clever lawyer can protect justice

Similarly only a good politician can safeguard this country

One man like you is enough to put India on the world map

But you're refraining from stepping into politics

He said in his last meeting...

...he is available anytime to sort out any issue

But our politicians put a full stop after elections

They vanish into thin air

'Though people support Mr Sathyamurthy in his anti-corruption campaign with vigor...'

'...we have to wait and see if this fructifies a change for the better'

If the Wright brothers had thought wrong like you...

...they would have let smoke into the sky instead of aeroplanes

Why think that far?

Take my case for instance

I first set foot in Chennai in 1993

Uncle, jobless, you rattle away instead of focusing on my job

You won't listen to me now

But one day you will read my autobiography

You will wait your turn in a queue to buy and read it

By the way where is Nasa?

Catch her

How dare you complain about my boss to the media?

Catch her

Help me, sir

Who is he? Which group?

How does he know our hideout?

Go outside

Hey! Who are you?

What's your name?

I am not used to telling my name

I am only used to asking

Which one of you is Venu?

You...?

Is it you?

I am Venu

You have the guts to call me by name?

Isn't that why we all have a name?

How did you land up here?

When it is a matter of duty...

...wherever you are, be it any alley, gulley, nook or corner

...I'll track you and stand face to face

And deliver what is required

'When it is a matter of duty...'

'...wherever you are, be it any alley, gulley, nook or corner'

'...I'll track you and stand face to face'

'And deliver what is required'

Courier, huh?

Do I look like a mason?

Sign and take it

I don't know to read or write

Thumb impression case, huh?

Why don't you sell all that gold on your body and get educated?

See you

Bye, rowdies

Nasa, if you can use your gray cells for such a small incident...

...if you got a job in the real NASA in America-

I've poured an extra peg for you

We are discussing here like members of the parliament

Why are you sitting with that pathetic look?

Your job went for a toss again, huh?

What can I do?

I'm unable to find a soul satisfying job

If everyone insists on finding a soul satisfying job

...or marry a girl to the dictates of their heart

...half the people in this world would be jobless

And the other half will be bachelors

So you must learn to like what you get and move on

Advice, huh?

Philosopee!

Whether pee or crap let it out fast

When booze is over he'll make the 'great escape'

Take me for instance

Are you fried seer fish to be taken into my tummy?

Come to the point

The very 1st time I stepped down in Egmore-

You stepped on cow dung, huh?

He pisses me off

Okay, continue

The very first time I stepped down in Egmore

The age you drink beer and chew bubble gum

Go on

I had no idea where to go

You crapped in your pants?

Allow me to finish

You revel in interrupting the other man's flow of thoughts

I only knew this was Chennai But didn't know a single soul here

But today I know this place inside out like my palm-

You delivered Ram Durai's car in K.K Nagar instead of T.Nagar

And vice versa Kumar's car in T.Nagar

And you claim to know Madras for 30 years!

How could you goof up like this?

Go and exchange the cars tomorrow

He and his cronies!

You said there was something in your palm

Check if that's Chennai or an itch in your palm

Your tongue runs a marathon!

Leave it

Even the real Assistant Commissioner...

...won't mention his name with such conviction

He'll come definitely

Your problem is solved

You've been called for an interview tomorrow

It's tough to even get an appointment with her

So be there on the dot

Where can I find Mary madam?

What is 'must be'?

Mary madam-

How can you look for her here?

She is above all this

Go up

This is where he directed me

There isn't anyone in sight

Maybe it is the floor above this

That's the water tank place

Hey young man! Who are you looking for?

I was looking for Mary madam

You carry on, I can look for her myself

Did sore throat Sakthivel send you here?

I am Mary

Got your resume?

Akka...?

Have you brought your resume?

Hey! What's this?

Haven't you got a basic degree?

You could have at least graduated through Open university

Students from IIT and IIM are jobless and loitering around

You could have at least written the TNPC exam
