Evening, after rain....

Cool gentle breeze is going away touching you.

Your memory takes you back to the days you thought have lost it.

Wait please. Don't close your eyes....

This film is a mirror of your younger days.

Memories are rolling back.

Teamed memories buried deep in my heart are surfacing.

Like... I have lost something, like... I am born again,

like my mother took care of me ...in the corners of the eyes.

....tears are rolling down.

Sky is overcast.

Trees swaying in the breeze is natural.

But when Kovalan & Kannagi enter Madurai Kovalan will be unjustly killed.

Kovalan will be killed later.

Then, when Kovalan enters Madurai, he will be killed.

So, the trees swayed as if to warn him not to enter Madurai.

Come my lord...come.

It seems you shaped your moustache in the alley.

Have you become a Lord?

Hey stop....stop.

Where are you running away? - No father...no.

Will you sport a moustache? - Father, no...

You have shown no interest in your studies for all these years,

and you are interested in sporting a moustache?

When daughter grows up, her mother becomes an old woman.

When moustache sprout on son's lip his father becomes an old man.

Your father is still a young man.

Couldn't recognize you at all?

Are you all doing fine?

I have come all the way from there to meet you all.

Are you fine sunny? - I am fine.

Are you fine, sunny? - I am fine.

Are you postman Pandian's son? - Yes.

I saw you as a little boy.

Are your parents fine? - They are fine.

They always talk about you all.

Are you still studying?

No, I have finished my studies and presently working.

Memories are coming back.

...the first dragonfly I had caught,

the first toy watch I stole in the festival,

the first Malabar beedi I smoked,

AYNGARAN DVD

my first savings,

my first movie in a touring theatre,

the first kabaddi (sport) match I won.

the first house I grew up in the village,

the first community lunch we prepared, as boys,

They haven't come yet. - They will come.

Why are you sitting here? Aren't you going?

Wait, let girls from Kammapetti come. We will go together.

Oh! That's the thing! Have you finished Math's home work?

They are coming.

Look, they are coming...

Be careful, bad signals.

Maths Teacher has an eye on her. She may complain to him.

Look, they are coming in a group.

Aren't you coming to school, Senthil?

You carry on, I will come with Kammapettai boys.

Okay, he's sold on some girl, come let's go.

Senthil, it's going to be 9 a.m. Aren't you coming to school?

Boys from my village haven't come yet.

I will come with them. You carry on.- Really? Yes, get lost you fool.

You are a fool to wait here.

Kamala is coming on a cycle.

Aren't you coming to school? Taking a day off?

No, I was waiting for you.

What cheek!

Is it a new cycle? Do you know to ride cycle also?

No, I know to pedal.

Shall I get on the cycle?

What a great wish!

It will be trouble if any one sees us together.

Don't you've a cycle?- No.

You've brought, haven't you?

I will ask my father to buy a cycle for me.- Why?

Only then I can come to school with you.

Poor thing! You are coming running. I will also walk along with you.

Do you know what is my mother's name?- What?

Kamala.

That's why are you smiling whenever you look at me?

What did you have in the morning?- Gruel.

I also had gruel.

To go with it?

Pickle.- I too had pickle.

You are very beautiful.

Get lost.

Cuckoo!

Yes, cuckoo.

Senthil, I will go to school with you only.

You go. I will come late.

I will also go late.

Today I am not going to school. - I am also not going.

If you don't go now,

I will push you on the ground and bite your neck.

Isn't this a ruse to come with Kammapettai Kamala?

Wait, I will tell your father about this.

I will tell Kamala's father too.

I will smash your face.

Our cycles have had flat tyres together.

Doesn't it mean we both are thick friends?

Mad boy!

I knew if my cycle had a flat tyre, your cycle will also have it.

That's why, I was waiting here for you.

Why are you pushing the cycle?

Flat tyre, father.

Flat tyre!

It's getting late to school. You take my cycle.

I will get the cycle repaired and deliver it in the school. Hold this.

Take your lunch box.

Which place are you from?

Neikaranpatti.

Whose son are you?

Post master Pandian's son.

Why are you pushing the cycle?

My cycle has a flat tyre.

Will both the cycles have flat tyres together often?

No, it happened only today.

Hey...you.- I am getting late to school.

If your cycle has a flat tyre in future...

Senthil! it seems your girl friend has attained puberty.

That's why, she didn't attend school.

Without knowing it you waited all day like a fool.

I thought you will be sitting near the bridge.

Why are you sitting here?

What's it Senthil?

Why?

Best wishes on attaining puberty.

Oh no!

Mad boy! Won't I feel shy if you tell me all this?

Memories are coming back.

My first swimming lessons, my first cycle ride,

my first kindergarten school teacher, Mallika.

Getting beaten up by my father for the first time.

First time I got scared on seeing god.

first time, I had admired the beauty of rainbow.

my first moustache,

my first love,

my first love letter,

my first kiss,

memories are coming back.

Silence!

Shut up.

Why are you laughing at me?

Won't your parents fart?

You say.

Country prospered under King Ashoka.

Ashoka planted trees on the road sides

and dug up ponds in all villages. - Stop it. You sit down.

Why did he plant trees?

Subramani, answer the question.

If travelers suddenly feel like answering the nature's call.

There won't be anything to go behind,

so, he planted trees to go behind them to answer nature's call.

Silence please.

What had I asked and what you are replying?

Show me your hand. - Sir.....sir...sir.

Oh god...Leave it...leave it.

Bloody farting teacher.

If you come to school again, I will break your legs.

I had asked why he had planted trees

and he says it is for answering nature's call.

What I had taught you and what he had replied.

Senthil, you read now.

When he reads, repeat after him and read loudly. You read.

In Indian society...

for the rejuvenation,

in the 19th century,- Read loudly.

social reformers who were born..

Why did you stop reading? Why? Why are you laughing now?

I told her not to make whole pulses grary, she never cares.

Come, the last bell has been rung. I am not coming, you go.

Why?

I have failed in 3 subjects.

My father refused to sign the progress report.

Mad girl! Why are you angry about it? - What else can I do?

Anyway I have to cane hits.
