- Did you look around Chennai? - Yes, I did
What is Chennai's message to you?
I feel I can get by with any job here, I can manage
- But don't beg - I swear I won't do that
Chennai gives everyone a life As if it won't make you survive
Then why did it make you beg then?
Just eat and clear from here
Police will catch you if you sleep here
Go sleep somewhere else
Sorry, grandpa
- Who are you? New to town? - Yes
Why are you glaring at me?
This is our territory Clear this space
You seem new here?
How did you sleep here? Tell me
I was lying on the ground Police chased me
If I sleep after 12 midnight I was told police won't disturb me
I haven't slept whole of last night I was very tired
That's why I climbed up this tree
You must pay me rent Rs 150, if you sleep here
Do you know that?
I'll make a hammock like this for you to sleep in comfort

I don't want you to nail me down!
