How's your mood? Want a policy? l'm busy. l'll sit.

Have you started your business already?

l forgot about it altogether.

l need to make an important call. lf you take one policy,

Just wait. Poornam speaking.

ls Gowri Manohari there?

l'm his niece. His grandmother is in his hospital sick.

lf he comes there, tell him. He adores his grandmother.

Don't forget. l won't. A grandson must visit a sick grandmother.

So that means that this person is young enough to be a grandson!

Who's this? thank you. - May l know who is speaking?

The one who challenged you. You've told me that he's male now!

Don't pride yourself too much. Your readers are smart too!

This is not Poornam. lt's wrong number.

Don't tell anyone! My favourite writer is actually a male!

l'm in a good mood. Give me a form. That is my success.

First rejection; then acceptance. l'm security for your life.

Through a policy. Read this. l'll come and visit when l have time.

What is it? Pray for your well being. God l must live well.

l want 2 wives like you. -Why hit yourself? My luck. Adorn saffron.

You don't adorn it. Why should l? Sinner! Your father's dead !

The kids downstairs too are fatherless. But their mother wears it.

Good point. She goes out and hence needs to be presentable.

So you too go out and wear saffron! Sinner!

ls there no one l can share my secrets with?

Come in. Sit down. Who are you? My name is Uma.

Uma o - You also know me as the one who challenged you!

lt's you! You've won me! lt's alright! l take pride in losing to women.

What's the matter? l am not just any fan of Gowri Manohari.

l need to talk with him to settle some turmoil that is on my mind.

Are you unmarried?

l'll make a call and find out. There is a phone here too.

lf l do it here, you will know the number. You are smart.

He's agreed to meet you. Tomorrow at 5 in the Gokula Restaurant.

How will l identify him? - What is so difficult about that?

lt'll be written on his face that he's a writer. A special art it is!

The goddess of knowledge lives there! Take me for example ..

She has left ..

l'm waiting for someone. l'll order once he comes

Why is this leech here now?

Here for a drink? - No! To put my clothes to the wash.

You're jovial. Can l sit there? You have that much of manners?

l have a little. Just sit.

l'm waiting for someone. Once he's here, .. l'll evacuate.

About the policy .. l will discuss it later then.

Start talking about how your insurance started and ..

ls there so much to it? - Yes. Why not take on one policy?

Keep quiet! That writer has not come after asking me to wait!

What kind of a writer does not understand a lady! Nonsense!
