The beginning was as a hotel boy through hard work, owned -

3 star hotels and 2 dance bars

Wife Reenu is a well known beautician at U.A.E

She has got her own event management company -

and a beauty shop

All profits earned from the business both of them invested in U.A.E itself

Houses, cars and other establishments

Economic instability ruined everything

Presently staying in the store room of the own hotel -

- which 'Arbab'(sponsor) has taken possession

A life which is filled with luxuries economic instability scattered everything

Out of the hundreds of families who wait in Embassy's shelter -

for a free ticket to native place

At present they are also there

Again we are going to narrate their story also

A number between 9 and 80, is it not?

Come on 10, 10 Go man

7 and 9 'Edavam Rashi' (sun sign Taurus) things will succeed for sure

But still the hurdles will be more

With the same aim one more person has started from south

What? Who is that?

A person who is having a 'Revati zodiac sign' (Pisces)

The phone got hung

Shucks!

Hey fellow, this one if you call it 'vada' (nibble)

Will also call you Amir Khan

Might call you Dulquer Salman

Brother, my body and your body is the temple of god

Saint Paulose has told 2,000 years back

lf so, it is our responsibility to guard this temple in a pure manner

But if at all on eating this 'vada' of lndian railway

This 'Aalayum' (temple) will become a toilet

God will flee covering his nose

At present, there is no presence of god inside human beings

That is because of the food we eat, brother do you know that?

Vada, vada, vada this is the vada!

Come on try eating one Which is sir's native place?

Thiruvananthapuran, Kodapana Kunnu

Brother, move a bit

One minute, will return the charger soon okay

No worries if it not returned back

Father, before getting on this train l had 3 pegs

Father, do you think that l created an issue because of that?

Not at all What l told is true - Yea true only

l need to know only that much

Aren't you that hero in 'Masala republic' film?

ls it good?

From Assam came to Kerala in search of a job

Acted in a film over here, a very smart chap

ls that a small thing? All of you clap

Let Kerala turn you to a super star

But at any cost you shouldn't try to sing

ln life there is no big thing, Dolly aunty

Like this, small, small things

But we should be able to enjoy in that

We should be able to appreciate that with an open mind

Only then the life will be joyful

Brother - What do you want? Can l try having one banana?

You may have it sir Let me try one

Ask that one, ask that one

Why can't this fellow understand on saying? Fool

Food, food!

Only he knows the exact spot by the way it is good if he also joins

Kottoor bar at Kollam is the best bar in Kerala

Kottoor Natarajan boss, who travel only business class of flight

Why panic here in a sleeper class near the toilet l'm not asking?

Where you are going? Why you are going? l'm not asking anything

Where did that person go? -Ate banana, no? Will be inside bathroom

Just check if anyone is coming?

Nope!

Hello - Hello Swamy, it is me

You had told, you know, where we are going why we are going? Tell that

Shall l say that? Then come here

l'm going to the same place where you are going

We can meet over there

All together 16 bars has been shut down

What?

All together 16 bars has been shut down

At least to open half of it got broke after paying money to all jerks

At that time, has told from Madayi Madom get 'snake pearl' -

- and keep it in prayer room, that will work out

What he says is a sure thing

But some how must get this thing, is it?

During that time got an information that at Ratnagiri this thing is over there

lt is Gurudevan, this journey is for that purpose

Sir, you may stay aloof from us

ln return we'll give whatever you want

lt is over here, over here Will give for sure

My brother, just see this

While reading this Kottoor bar, a thought just forfun

While checking the reservation chart, got the name also

That's all, you may leave cool, l'm not coming into that way

By the way shall give one advice

Robbery, murder, snake pearl while going for all this gimmick, on the way

Shouldn't keep such kind of name boards

How many times did l call? Why, not picking up the phone?

ln the kitchen there is nothing at all

l've changed the sim, this is the new number

How long can you live like this by changing the sim and the house?

Then what should l do?

Have we met some where?

Right from morning we are in this train, no? Might have seen

That is the reason why, l...

Each life is each wood brother

Who knows what is inside, who is inside?

Just think of the wayfarers in this compartment

Passed a day time by playing, smiling, talking

But what will be inside all this people?

Andrews, Dolly aunty, two children

Elder one is heart patient, this journey is forthe treatment

Even now not hanging the phone Susan quarrels with the family

She is a nurse at Mumbai also a cancer patient

Some how must get the share she has got two daughters

Both of them without showing any acquaintance, sitting in two seats

Fortheir love, elope there is support of whats up

ln search of 'snake pearl' heading towards Ratnagiri

Natarajan and Chandra Anandan

His first movie, to show it to his mother

Mangal who is heading to Assam

Then by bearing the weak cries of compatriots of Kudamkulam

To conduct the case, one who is going to Mumbai

The vicar at the Mother Lourde church at lrindikara

Father Yeshurajan

ln the middle of all this people, we two, who is not connected to this

Have you gone to Assam?

All my childhood was at Assam, also wife's

After the marriage, we went there once

Stayed there for 2 months

lt was at that time l fell in love with Bhupen Hazarika

l've animated two songs of Bhupen Bhai

l'm quite sure that l've met guy some where

Some where!

''Like a summer breeze, slowly someone...''

''Touches inside the heart very slowly caresses''

''ls the eyes filled with dreams, is the mind filled with rain?''

''Soft wishes flutters its feathers like a dusk of the city''

''Like a summer breeze, slowly someone...''

''Did the stars in the sky search forthis bosoms?''

''Tunes in search of melody for delight of eyes''

''On the paths where the memories fade, several shores unknown''

''Slowly pretentious face searches this sea through this window''

''Very slowly like a river''

''Like a summer breeze, slowly someone...''

''Did my dreams vanish on a silent blue sky?''

''To go and return, days and nights didn't give the words to talk''

''Even the memories which lean on shadows didn't give the chill shelter''

''Simply to make this mind moody''

''This music of life''

''When very slowly caressing''

''Like a summer breeze, slowly someone...''

Again forthe train to run, it'll take 24 hours

lt a land slide
