Red (ரெட்)

Writer Mr.Manimegalai's pen was able to achieve what Govt's. Power couldn't.

The happy villagers will always applaud writer Mr.Manimegalai.

Now, South Indian Leo Tolstoy Mr.Manimegalai, will address you.

Greetings.

I got this courage only because of my readers support.

Writers will be respected till Educated people are there.

Readers are more than my life till they're here, I'll write

I'll keep on writing.

What's your next project?

It'll be better, if you give us a hint.

Was there any threat from any V.I.P. this time?

Where'll you be going?

I would like to take some rest.

Then I'll take a tour of entire Tamil Nadu.

Whenever I see & hear good things I'll start writing.

I travelled from one place to another

I met different kinds of people.

Everybody, was just an average person

I didn't find any difference in them

November 6 I went to Madurai.

When I was searching for some good things.

It happened on that day.

Find everyone in this area and beat them black & blue.

Why do they fight like this?

Sir, they've started.

- Why are they fighting? - They've started.

War has started between Seeni & Red.

Even if Sun rises from West they can't be reformed.

Nobody should be alive Shred everyone here.

The person who is in white dress is Sarathi.

Sarathi means not a Charioteer.

He drives off criminals from this place.

Chop them Kill everybody.

- Person with open shirt, flanking Banian. - Yes.

He is Kaipillai.

The person with violet colour T-Shirt is Umai.

The person with Red checked shirt Poochi Murugan.

They are just 4 fingers.

- Do you know about the Thumb? - That means?!

Watch out! I'll make the appearance.

These 4 are just snow clad Mountains.

Watch out, Volcano will erupt.

Who is it?

Look there.

Listen to me carefully.

Tell that Seeni, that he cannot set his feet in any of this places.

If he violates, this Red is fire, he'll not give a burn, he'll burn him down

I'll tell him - That's it.

I have a doubt.

Thirupparan Kundram or Meenakshi Temple which will be seen from here?

All you can see is an old lady selling snacks.

- Will it be good? - Do you want to taste it?

If you've a pinch of it. You'll be left dead.

I can see a gold mine.

Brother, I had enquired in the market.

It seems your Red is good to good people and night mare to outlaws.

Everybody is unanimous in this.

They have to.

In Archery, he is Arjuna...

In generosity, he is Karna.

In patience, he is Dharma.

In giving instructions he is Lord Krishna.

Altogether, our Red is...

How can you call him as a good man?

Even if everyone in this area is an Orphan.

He'll look after everyone all alone.

We used to talk about Kings giving Shawl to peacock.

Giving Chariot to the November Flower Creeper.

Go and stand before Red's house with faith.

Life... he'll give his life.

To Respected Editor, Ananda Vikatan.

I'm going to write another True Story.

The name of the Hero in my Story is...

Aadhi!

He's mother & father for the people around him.

But for him, the wooden chariot is like his mother & father.

A humble request to my readers is that they must read this story.

They should know about Aadhi!

Do not investigate, where and how it is happening?

I am going to write, what I see just read it.

Yours friendly, Manimegalai.

Nobody should know our whereabouts.

Our correspondence should also go on a different address.

We mustn't call anyone even remotely connected with Ananda Vikatan.

Till the end of the story.

Sir, it seems Mr.Manimegalai has started writing the story.

It's not a story, a real incident.

What's the title?

Aadhi!

Has Mr.Manimegalai gone mad? He is writing about a Rowdy.

You're mad.

It seems it's Aadhi's wish that every child should get Free Education.

It seems he's going & fighting on Schools which accept donations.

And getting free seats for children.

In my view, Aadhi is Great.

Yes... tell me.

You've mistaken us...

Why do we take donations from parents?

To construct 4 swimming pools in school premises.

To buy Air-Conditioned buses for students.

Why don't you understand?

Who?

Me?...without understanding.

In a School, where children of Rich a powerful study...

The wish poor man's children also studying in the same school.

I think you haven't understood it.

In a place where you used to take Rs.5 or 10, if you hike it to Rs.50, 000 to a lakh!

You said they'll pledge their business & come to the streets.

You can never understand their plight.

Why do you need thousands of Rupees to educate people?

Answer me...

How can we run such big schools without money?

You can run

2 jewellery shops, 4 theatres 1 shopping complex

3 Houses in every neighbourhood you've earned all this, isn't it?

That's enough, spend your money to educate poor people.

If you need money to educate... I'll give.

But, if you make education as a business

I'll never give a pie.

Nowadays, education is going in a different way.

What do you think about Education?

Think?...I think it's Red!

That's what, I think...

I think, these are the only 3 English words which I know.

Education must reach everyone...

Goddess of Learning is doing a penance sitting on the tip of needle...

I think that shouldn't go to the dogs

I want that Tamil Nadu shouldn't become backward in Education like Bihar.

I want poor shouldn't be denied Education

Saint Thiruvalluvar said, it isn't wrong to beg for Education.

But, you want everyone seeking Education to become a beggar

I'll give even my blood for making paper

I'll give my nerves to stitch books.

All these are, this Red's life ambitions.

What's your final decision?

I want you to do what I've told you...

If we refuse it...

Talk to them in arm twisting style.

Ask for the seat...

Otherwise, ask a piece from his body.

Elders have said to build Schools with bricks of prisons.

But, when I hear you...

I think, I've to build your mausoleum with the bricks of this school.

Are you stooping to rowdyism?

Are you asking to revere Teacher as Gods.

I'm talking to you so patiently just because you're School Teachers.

Who are you to take up the cudgels on behalf of these Poor?

One among 100 crores...

First among the 6 crores.

Red will give time for everything.

Look!

Till this paper weight spins...

That's the time for you to decide.

We'll do as you say.

That's it!
