Don’t run.. Stop..

Stop I say.

Shall I marry you?

Because I love you so much.

I will really take good care of you.

Tell me.. shall I?

How old are you? - 21

But I’m 23. Two years older than you.

It’s not my fault.

Do you own a house?

No, but I own 4 cents of land.

Pathanamthitta district, Aranmula Taluk

Survey No.126/2, Block no. 24.

Why don’t we build a house there?

Are you telling the truth?

Yes.

Promise? – Promise!

If so,

agreed.

Shall I marry you now?

Now?

Suppose you don’t keep up your word later…

Your dad always brags his son does wonders in Ranni

Come out, see with your eyes wide open,

the gift, your noble son presented to this family.

Your mom is not free to give you a warm welcome.

Don’t mistake me, son.

Give way, children!

We’re already struggling to make a living with 8 children here

Is anyone here, to help us?

And there he comes… happily married!

What a nice place to bring your girl!

Show her your palace!

Then take a mat and lie down as you please!

Growing like a Palm tree is not enough!

But must also have some common sense.

I lied to marry you.

Owning a piece of land…

is also my dream..

just like you!

I’ve good health,

and am ready to do any job.

To make a small house for us, it’s not a big task to get some land…

...if you’re also beside me.

“A bird which grew up in some nest wished to build a nest”

“It hovered around everywhere for jute-fibre and hay”

“The bird thought that whatever she found was for her”

“Knowing that nothing was for her

she collapsed with a burning heart”

“Opening the silver door of the biting snow, she looked,

Who is he on the tree-branch spinning the threads of songs”

“When he sat beside her, she saw a pitiful story in his eyes”

“Desire spread in each of them Love shone like sapphire”

“At some stage was heard the golden tinkling of life”

“The crown of the dream-house built brushed against the sky”

“Then one day from far smoke rose and spread fearfully”

“Did it come to burn everything or did the sea become a forest fire?”

“No, we will not hide with fear”

“We are birds with wings of fire”

“We’ll return after the war”

“We’ll fly, shaking away embers”

“What is beckoning us,

the green-clad fields below”

“On seeing that we remember the heaven which we cherished”

“Is there a place on earth

Where a drop of tear was not shed?”

Which is the way to Civil Station?

Straight down the road, there’s a gate on the left.

Let’s go.

Revenue Office?

Go straight.

Where do I’ve to submit application for the Title deeds?

On the 2nd floor, upstairs!

Oh Upstairs! - Yes

Sir, where do I’ve to submit application for the Title deeds?

Give it there.

Stand here.

Don’t disclose to anybody about this meeting.

Otherwise, we’ll be in trouble.

You’re right.

Yes, what?

The gentleman in this seat?

Come tomorrow.

Son! Look there!

Dad, I want this cycle.

I’ll get you later.

I’ll surely get you, son.

How was it? You liked it?

That’s just throwing money down the drain.

I already asked you not to.

What do you like to eat?

Chicken!

Smart boy!

What is your name, child?

Deva Narayanan!

Long name!

Serve one chicken curry and four porottas.

I want Dosa.

One chicken curry, Four parottas and One dosa!

My older daughter’s son is about his age!

And also naughty like him.

His name is not Deva Narayanan,

but Bijumon.

This Sudheeran Comrade will never let anybody live.

People will die deprived of water!

How do you do? – I’m fine, brother

Porotta master is good,

But not the porottas.

Vasuettan, Change the person.

Vasuettan, get 6 antibiotics!

Bring back the jug and glasses quickly.

Those fellows eat well

Will finish off a full bottle sitting there.

And fetches me a good return.

But this Police will not let us live.

They raid frequently

Doesn’t know for what the heck!

Get me some hot water, please.

How much?

How much is the cost?

Rs.135/-

You seem to be here for the first time

No, I’ve already been here, but they’re here for the 1st time.

Where do you belong to?

Near Aluva! We came here receiving the deed.

We went to the Collectorate office

The Officer was not available,

so we’ll have to go tomorrow also.

In one way, you people are really fortunate.

You protested and got hold of the documents.

Did you notice that person?

He’s Mohammed Ikka.

He had 15 cents of land and a beautiful house in Moolampilly

When evicted for Vallarpadam Container terminal,

Even for the land allotted under the rehabilitation scheme,

he didn’t receive the deed yet.

He lives in his relative’s shed.

He routinely walks down the Government office.

It’s been 4 years now.

If it rains, sleep inside.

Look at the plight of some people.

Although he owned a land and now..

I meant that elderly man.

Though my dad is no more, his prayers are with us!

That’s why we got the deed soon.

But there are still lots of people before us,

to receive the title deed, is it?

Before we build our house,

we shall visit Malayalapuzha temple.

I’ve a vow.

Definitely!

Hasn’t Thambi Sir arrived yet?

Not yet! Who knows when he’d come!

Come tomorrow.

What happened to the tea, man?

Yes, I’ll get you.

Chengara deed documents!

Sir, please read this.

What’s this? How is this possible?

Haven’t we already finalized these things?

This was decided by the Executive Committee on 17th

How can this be altered? I don’t understand.

The Bhoomigeetham Musical show is Government’s programme.

As per the statement..

Have you submitted the application?

Yes, but..

Then, Sir will call you. Wait outside.

People are in queue!

Hey old hag! Don’t spit here and make it stink!

Oh! So is it my spit that’s going to make this place stink?

Get lost.

Will it take much time? – Yes?

Oh dear! You may fall!

Sit down here.

Which grade are you in this year?

Which School?- Mom’s school!

Mom’s school?! Which School is that?

Will they educate me also there?

He is yet to join the school.

Have to look out for his admission nearby!

May the God bless you my child!

I’m also in pursuit of my land.

But it’s been 7 years, since I began.

I gave you the deed documents.

Do I’ve to wait any longer or..

Deed documents?

Yes, I handed it over to you this morning.

Hey! Is this to be submitted here??
